THE SLACK -PERRINE CASE.
Important Resolution In the Senate
on the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1S95.-The
effort of Mrs Perrine to retain control
of the Slack children seems designed to
become a national issue. The Senate
yesterday authorized the District of Co
luubia Committee, upon the motion of
Mr.. Hale, to inquire whether there, was
still in force in this district law where
by a father could dispose of the custody
claimed by the attorney for the Perrines
under the old English common law.
Mr.. Hale characterized this condition
of affairs as a relic of barbarism. Sew
eral of the Senators were averse to TAX
ing action while the case was pending in
court, but Mr.. Hale carried his point af-
ter an interesting debate. In the mean
time the children remain in the posses
sion. of Mrs Perrine, although their
mother is to see them every day.

Probable Changes in Laws,

1t is rumored that an official of
the Government is drafting a bill
which will materially change the
passport regulations of the Islands
as we'll as the credit system in
vogue here. As matters now stand
a man can 90 into debt to what
ever extent a merchant sees fit to
allow him, but if, through lack of
funds, he is unable to settle his in
debtedness and wants to leave the
country his passport can be stopped
upon notification to the customs
authorities.
Under the new law if a man
can show beyond question that he
has no money to pay his bills, and
can prove that he has only enough
to take him out of the country and
he is desirous of so doing he will
be allowed to depart.
Some years ago an attempt was
made to do away with the credit
system, but the attempt failed. If
the plan mentioned above should
really become a law it is probable
the system will be materially
changed.

ping covered with figures, "here is
the tax list of Santa Clara county,
California, look at it. In 1850 the
tax rate was 81 25, four years later
it was down to ST 40. In 1866 the
rate was 50 60. Today it is 81 45.
In 1850 the amount raised was
$109,S74 Is and in 1895 the amount
raised was $745, $40 81. The in
crease in amount raised with a re-
duction in the levy is accounted
for, of course, in two ways-the
increase in population and the
natural increase in the value of the
property. The rate is governed en-
tirely by circumstances. 1t should
be the same here"
But, would not this increase
in taxation cause dissatisfaction
among the residents generally
Only among the people who
are crying down the government
people whose loyalty is governed
by the amount of business they get
out of it men who growl if they
get no business, and by the others
who occasionally have to wait three
months to collect their accounts
against the various departments
And that reminds me. The bust
ness of this country is done prac-
tically on three months basis. If
| buy a bill of goods the first of
January, the man l buy from does
not expect pay for them before the
10Th of April. If l should go into
his store and pay him the face of
the invoice thirty days after the
date of purchase, it would be a sur
prise to him. Very few men want
to surprise people they buy from
even if they have the money, conse-
quently they take advantage of the
system of quarterly accounts. But
what was the result when Mr..
Damon introduced the prevailing
methods of settlements into the
Finance office; there was a
great hue and cry against his
administration, and yet those same
men will sell a merchant goods on
three months time and not COM
plain if the bill is not paid until
two months after it is due"
"And you believe that increased
taxation is the panacea for all the
ills which the Government is suf-
fering from?"
"All the ills? l fail to see what
ills exist other than an increased
expense and no increase in the
revenue. If the tax levy in
Santa Clara county can f1uctuate
as statistics show that it has, there
is no reason in my mind that it
should not here. Just now the ex-
penses to be met here are large
and they have been made so by
revolutions and disease, to meet
them let the tax rate be increased
and when the affairs are thor
oughly and permanently settled it
may be reduced. You may rest
assured of one thing, directly the
money is in the treasury, Minister
Damon will pay it out. [ am
satisfied, and every reasonable man
should be, that the methods he has
adopted for assisting the Govern
ment when the taxes are not COM
ing in were what the conditions
required not what he wished"
If this mans opinion should be
shared by the Legislators at the
next session of the Legislature it is
probable the tax will be raised.
