THEsfNEW PENAL CODE.
A REVISION Is SUBMITTED IN A
REPORT.
Work of Able Men-Enort to Simplify
Some Notable Changes
Made.

The Commission appointed by
the Executive March 20, 1898, to
"Revise and codify the Penal Laws
Of the Kingdom" has completed its
work and will report at the coming
session Of the Legislature. This
Commission derived its authority
from Chap. XXI, Laws of 1892.
BY it, three persons, learned in the
law, were to be appointed. The
sum of S2, 500 was appropriated for
the expenses of the Commission.
After the establishment of the
Provisional Government, President
Dole, in order to carry out the pro-
visions Of this act, appointed COM
mittee to consist OF A. +. Judd,
Chief Justice, Cecil Brown and

nearly the whole OF three years.
In his compilation Mr.. Foster
has found occasion to recommend
several important changes in the
code. Additions, alterations and
condensations have been made. In
doing this modern text books have
been followed, principally, how
ever, the penal code of California,
The object Mr.. Foster had i'll mind
was to meet the practical needs Of
the country. Notes have been
added to each chapter, showing the
source of the section, references con-
nected Herewith and citing Hawaii

Mr.. Foster makes his first de-
parture from the present system by
declaring that the Court can always
put an offense into one of two
classes, as follows: Cases requiring
Imprisonment and cases where a
fine is sufficient. Therefore the

TAXES.

A Compilation of the Laws Has Been
Prepared.
Mr.. Damon is engaged upon the
draft of new tax law which will
be submitted first to the Cabinet
and then to the Legislature, The
one object is to simplify and collate
the provisions. At present the
provisions affecting the various
branches of taxation are so dis
tributed in the code as to render
them hard to handle and to cause
confusion.
The matter of taxation on bust
ness requires considerable revision.
All of the provisions in this branch
Of taxation will be compiled under
one head. 1t is announced tha. the
rate Of real and personal taxes will
not be changed.

punishment has been made in all
cases of criminal oifenses fine or im-
prisonment, in place of by both as
at present provided. He thinks
the law should fix the maximum
sentence and that the Court should
be entrusted with the duty of fixing
the minimum.
Mr.. Foster does not believe a de-
fendant should be fined more than
$1,000 or imprisoned more than a
year, except by Jury trial. He
therefore limits the jurisdiction Of
District Magistrates to those max
imum sentences. Other offenses
are felonious and must go to a jury.
Each Offer s. in the code is specified
as a misdemeanor or a felony. The
compiler does not believe there
should be a multiplication of the
degrees of an offense. In most cases
two degrees, one a misdemeanor
and the other a felony, is enough.
If the offense is either, he thinks
certainly one degree is enough.
In his work Mr.. Foster has taken
special regard to the simplicity of
the statues, so that they may be
understood by persons of no more
than common understanding. He
argues that there is no necessity for
the Particularly, verboseness and
antiquated modes of expression"
so common in the penal and civil
laws of this country.
The entire compilation contains
eighty-nine chapters, for which
system Of indexing and references
is proposed. Messrs. Judd and
Brown submit the report without
alteration to the Legislature, with
their approval of its general plan
and character. 1t is made as re-
port for the Legislature to act upon.

Louisiana Rice Districts.

Eight years ago the rico industry of
southwest Louisiana was practically Of
little account, and its crop cut very lit
tie figure in the worlds supply. What
little there was raised was produced in
small patches in lowland basins into
which the rainfall from the uplands
could be drained But today the rice
fields cover thousands of acres Of the
highland prairies, which, less than a
decade ago, were an almost unbroken
cattle range. Texas Farm and Ranch
explains that the greatest element in
bringing about this transformation is to
be found i'll the extensive systems of
irrigation which have been inaugurated.
These systems consist of pumping plants
driven by steam engines, and it is here
