INCOME TAX.

There may be some doubt in some
minds as to the working of an income
tax. The property holder may think
that he gets doubly taxed. But this is
not true in practice, because the income
tax will in effect lower the property tax,
which has to bear the brunt of the bur-
den now THE larger the amount rails
ed by the income tax" says a writer on
this subject, 1.-The less the amount to be
raised by property tax" Moreover,
men who make large incomes now, say
anywhere from So 900 to $4,000 year
and doubtless some professional in
comes exceed this-hardly pay at the
present time any taxes at all, unless
they put their money into real estate.
We will take a successful lawyer or
DOCTOR He hires a house, part of it
furnished. He keeps a few horses and
carriage or two, and he makes an in
sessed upon is a few trinkets, his horses
and his carriages, say $50 year in all.
If he invests his surplus money in Gov
eminent bonds at six per cent, he does
not pay cent more taxes. An owner
of real estate has to pay on the as
sessed value of his estate. Mr. Win
ston's bill would make the $4,000 man
pay $500 in taxes instead of $50, as now.
1t is very plain that if the Minister of
Finance had such means of reaching
incomes which are not now taxed, he
would be able to relieve others who are
now taxed unduly.
However, it should be remembered
that in taxing incomes, an income from
a permanent source should be more
heavily taxed than a transient one. A
professional man with an income of
SIC, 900 from his profession is not as we'll
off as one who receives the same |
amount from bonds. In the former |
ease the income is reduced by life in
surance, savings, and so forth, while in
the latter the whole may be spent, and
on the mans death the income of $1O,-
900 will still go on. The latter man
ought, therefore, to pay higher rate,
and this rate is reached by light prop
erty tax. In such a case there is no
double taxation, there is only laying a
burden on TO shoulders that can bear it.

To be gazed at with glances all sinister,

Or else hopelessly hashed;
Faith, none envy the Cabinet Minister
Oh! who'd be a pOnderous Senator,

Then alas for the ponderous Senatori
Oh! who'd be a bright Representative,

Oh, he's quite understood

He is quick at debates,
And the taxes he rates,
And he knows, when his vote

Oh! who'd be a Woodworking Editor,

..soCIAL EVIL STILL RAMPANT.

Members of the House of Represent
atiyes have taken it upon themselves 10
side-track the proposed laws aimed az
the social evil of Honolulu rms
leaves the community to spend another
two wears watching the evil tendencies
at work in the less reputable portions
of the city, and wonder what is to De
done about it, The present law has
heen proved to be inadequate to keep
the evil within bounds, and it is not
pleasant TO contemplate what another
two years will bring forth. AS the legal
avenue for partial reform seems to be
pretty effectually cut off, about the
only thing left now for those who adj
vocated the change in the law is to be-
gin canvass among the householders
who are renting portions of their build
ings to these moral leeches.. We know
of no more effectual method of at least
driving the prostitutes from the public
streets. If the low women could be
punched in some out-of-the-way portion
OF the city something WOulu dJ lSdSI NC
gained
1t is to be hoped that those who have
done such good work in attempting to
make the way to reform clear to the
legislators will not allow one setback
to stop the movement made toward a
proper solution of the problem. To be
sure, it is easier to pass a law than it
is to touch a private pOcketbook, but
since passing the law is out Of the
question, the only thing that remains is
TO attack along another line. If the
people owning houses now occupied by
prostitutes will refuse further lease TO
such tenants, one long advance
step will be made. The good people
should not forget that the social evil
is by no means ON the decrease, and the
efforts to check the increase should not
be lessened.

LIQUOR COMMISSION REPORT.

A more conservative document than
the majority report of the Liquor Com
mission could hardly be imagined In
fact it is hard for the average reader
Commission should have felt called
upon to raise objections to propositions
which put the laws now on the statute
books in such shape that they can be
enforced, when about the only point
made by the minority is that enforce
ment of laws is all that is necessary.
Whether it is advisable or not to enact
such radical measures as the Gothen-
burg or Dispensary laws, the Commits
sion has set at rest the possibility of
discussing such measures on account of
the late day at which their report is
brought before the Legislature. AS the
liquor problem is one which entails the
consideration of a vast number of
wheels within wheels, it is perhaps
quite as we'll that another two years
be given for the consideration of the
more important details of reforms hav-
ing a prohibitory tendency. We would
suggest that the members of the Com
mission appointed to continue the in
vestigation of this topic begin their |
work as soon as possible, so they may
have it completed and the results ready |
to submit to the Legislature before that |
body convenes in 1898.
Although it seems to be foreordained
that a good portion OF the work of the
Commission is to amount to nothing ex-
cept as foundation for the next Com
mission to build on, it is to be hoped
that the Legislature will find time to
ndOrse the recommendation to do away

Re moral agent
One of the complaints made by the
liquor dealers is that there is a large
mount of illicit selling going on, which
uggests a question. How is this liquor
btained for illicit sale? If the liquor {
callers will themselves investigate this {
uestion, and having decided upon the
nswer, give their information to the
authorities and assist the authorities
n stopping the illicit sale, it is safe
o say that the dealers will have very
title cause for complaint The liquor
callers claim that they are quite as q
nXiOus as the moral reformers are to @
top the sale of liquor outside certain
sgalized channels. Now the way is
open to them to prevent, in a
leasure, this leak, and we trust they
i'll take advantage of the opportunity

The prohibitionist, there was an in

A reduction had been made in the ma
tional debt Of over $40, 100000, the larg-
est reduction but one on record; $780,
100000 of debt had been paid off in
thirteen years. A remarkable state
ment of the Minister was that in the
event of war, when the country would
have to fight for it's life, the reserve
was so great that without imposing a
penny of taxation a sum of ST 900 ,00O,-
600 could be raised for defense, and the
debt be no larger than it was in 1857
Dealing with the future, the estimat- |
ed expenditure was a little over $780, |
900 900, the revenue about sos, $40 600, |
and the estimated surplus $3.50 900. |
This surplus would in part be used to |
reduce the rate on land from four shil- |
Iings to one shilling, and little over |
two millions of it was to be given to in !
crease the grants for education.

AN INTERESTING BUDGET.

The budget speech of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, in the British House of
Commons, presented some very inter-
esting figures. The expenditures for the
past year had been greater than any
year since the last great war, and at the
same time the surplus-how a Minister
OF Finance must lick his lips over q
surplus-was the largest that had ever
been reported. The expenditures were
$4SS, 100000, and the surplus was $21,-
$4,000 which gives an income of about
$500, 900. The surplus has been used
for national defense.
The increase of revenue from tobacco,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-12

Besides being a matter of interest in
the actual figures given, the above
shows how a budget can be handled
and it can also be used to show why SO
full statement cannot be made here
The thing lies in nut shell. The Min
listers here have not staff enough, and
their own time is taken up too much
with detail and routine work. The Of
fees of the Government are run with as
small a staff as possible, and in some
cases with a staff inadequate to the
work placed upon them, and the result
is that information, such as Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach has at his beck and call,
is very hard to obtain, and frequently
can only be obtained after it would
not have been of USE. Still, it seems
possible that, by looking well ahead and
keeping we'll in mind what will be re-
uuired at the commencement of any
such information may be
ready to the hand of the Minister when
required.
