PER CAPITA TAX STANDS
Amendments to the K. of L. Laws
We're Defeated.
Certain Privileges of Past Master
workman Abrogated and Other
Important Matters Considered.

The report of the committee on laws
claimed the attention OF the knights Of
Labor assembly during the whole Of the
afternoon session OF yesterday.
Among the many amendments 10 the con-
stitutioD was one to change the amount
of per capita tax from 6 cents 10 cents,
which should be paid quarterly. After
lengthy discussion the amendment was
defeated by an overwhelming vote.
The next was a proposition TO change the
present plan OF appointing the committees
on credentials and laws, two days before
the coDyening Of the general assembly
This change was asked for on the plea
of a reduction OF expenses. a majority
OF the delegates deemed this early appoint
ment rather as u saving of time and expense
and as a great convenience in the trans
action Of business, so the proposition was
defeated.
The amendment proposing change in
the method OF paying the per capita tax
was also defeated, and in future, as in
the past, the locals will pay 10 the District
Assembly and render report Of same
to the general headquarters.
Heretofore past master workmeD were
accorded all the privileges of n delegate.
even SO far as to be entitled to vote
on all questions which came before the
assembly. In legislating the question
yesterday, the power OF FotlnS was eiliili-
mated from their privileges. They Will,
| however, receive the same mileage as a
| delegate.
At the hour of adjournment The question
| pending was one submitted by d. a. IL,
OF Ohio. 1t is what is known as the
| initiative and referendum" and proposes
| that when one-fOurth OF the number OF
district assemblies in the order ask that
| an amenement should be submitted to the
| order. that the general master workman
| should have some printed and submitted
to the several district assemblies.
II also proposes that in case the amend
meGt receives the Endorsement of ma jerity
| of the assemblies, it would then become a
law, even before ratification by the general
assembly. An amendment TO this was
offered, substituting locals" for district
assemblies"
When this matter will be taken up this
| morning, lively discussion is expected

THE EXTRA SESSION.

Citizens of the Doubling Thomas
stamp will undoubtedly be graft
fed to read the proclamation by
President Dole calling for the
special session Of the Legislature
early in June, and those who have
been endeavoring to make anti
Government capital from the re-
ported desire to put aside the extra
session will be obliged to seek a
more fertile field for the misrepre-
sentation Of the purposes Of the
Executive. With the convening of
this body the reorganized govern
ment will be complete in all its de-
tails, the Executive, Judiciary and
Legislative departments running
in the respective grooves mapped
out by the constitution. All forms
of provisional organization
will become things of the past, hav-
ing filed most acceptably the OBJ
ject for which they were created, of
obtaining honest government and
proper representation and protec-
ton of the commercial and prop
erty interests of all classes.
The extra session Of the legisla-
tive body will of necessity be of
short duration, only those meas
ures of immediate Importance
being brought up for action. First
and foremost will be the new land
law, which will become a potent
factor in the development Of the
lands of the country
by a desirable class Of settlers.
Following this will be the consid-
Grafton of the appropriation of
funds for public works, that this
most important feature of national
improvement may go forward I'M
All signs point to the
hearty cooperation Of all classes
for prompt, business-like action
and an economic dispensing of
public funds for the best interests
Of the body-politic of the Republic.

A WRITER in the current number
of 'Scribner's Magazine gives a
most interesting description of the
manner in which electricity has
displaced steam in the passenger
traffic of the world, and the United
States in particular. Competition
for local traffic has become SO sharp
that the large railroad corporations
are seriously considering the intro
duction of electricity as matter of
self-defense. There are now in pro-
cess of completion links in the line
of electric railways that will con-
meet the cities of New York and
Philadelphia. Cheap fares and a
fair degree of rapidity in transit
are meeting the demands of the
public and giving investors profit
able return. A certain proportion
of the public can afford to patron
ize cannon ball" express trains,
and pay the price corporations
may place upon the accommoda-
ton but the people" will patronize
the low rates, and the increased
travel more than makes up the loss
occasioned by cut prices. The
business men of this country can
not afford to overlook these signs of
the times particularly as associ-
ated with local travel. The fact
that our ancestors were satisfied
with stage coaches and donkey
carts is no reason for withholding
our hand from taking advantage
of the benefits researches in cleo
trical science place at our very
doors. A good electric car service
will do more to develop the outly-
ing districts of Honolulu than any
mode of public conveyance in vogue
at the present day.

different matter, and at
once creates difficulties. The
prompt action Of the United
States Senate in providing for the
laying Of a cable to these islands,
is on The line of the new develop
ment. It indicates that the most
conservative branch of the legisla-
tive body is much in advance of
the popular branch, and even of
the President, whose education and
political environment has not been
of the kind to impress him with
the serious importance of the for
eign relations of the country.
While naturally impatient at
the gradual growth of public opin-
ion in the States on this subject,
we may congratulate ourselves
that there is no arrested develop
ment, and every day brings evil
dence of the fact that the Monroe
doctrine will soon be backed up SO
far as Hawaii is concerned, by a
definite and vigorous policy.
