PORTUGUESE LEASE RENEWALS.

The Portuguese colony is putting
itself in evidence to quite an ex-
tent of late and not without reason.
The Portuguese, as class, are
sober and industrious, satisfied
with a fair return for unstinted
labor, and, as rule, quiet so long
as they are given an opportunity
to work for reasonable remunera-
ton. Many a barren spot in and
about Honolulu has been trans
formed into fertile and valuable
land by labor of these people. One
Of the principal matters over which
the Honolulu colony is at present
considerably agitated is the action
of landholder, by which many
Portuguese residents are practically
paying penalty for their industry
in improving such small plots as
they have been able to lease in the
vicinity of Punchbowl.
While the people of the colony
have not, at all times, proven
themselves to be particularly sharp
in the business transactions in con-
nection with obtaining rentals, it
is apparent that they have been
to an injustice which
might well attract the attention of
the Government. A large portion
of the land in question is held by
under lease from the
Government. The land has been
let out in small lots to Portuguese
families, who have built their cot
tages, started the usual thrifty
garden patch and thereby en-
HANGED the value of the property.
Having thus become we'll estab-
lished in their homes, they resent
the large increase of rental de-
manded when they apply for re-
newal of their leases.
Records obtained by a recent
canvas of those who have requested
renewals, show an increase from
SIS to $25, and from $25 to $40 in

PUBLICITY OF TAXES.
Inquirer Again Gives His Views
on the Subject.

Inquirer Again Gives His Views
on the Subject.
Mr.. EDIToR:- would seem to
be fair deduction from your edi-
torial on the inspection of tax
books, in this mornings paper,
that, although man may not go
to a business Office to get informa-
ton concerning its private affairs,
he may go to the assessors books
and get the same information with
out let or hindrance.
Now, it may be true, that not as
much of detail can be obtained
from the tax books as might be
obtained from the accounts of a
business office; still, a considerable
amount of information can be got
from the tax books.
1t is undoubtedly true that men
sometimes inspect those books for
the purpose of getting information
concerning other peoples affairs,
but my experience has been, that
assessors, in some cases at least,
have intimated that an inspection
of the books for such purpose was
not permissible, and have appear
ed to wish to trust to a mans honor
not to do so. 1t is natural that
men should want to know all
about their neighbours Tor rivars)
business, and it is patent that
many do learn great deal. 1t is
we'll perhaps that their should be a
limited degree of general knowl-
edge in such matters.
As to certain Government offici-
ais, it is absolutely necessary that |
they should know everything. but
does it necessarily follow that the
general public has right to the
same concise knowledge of the
business affairs of an individual or
| think not.

CUBANS RECOGNIZED.

These are bright days for the
patriots of Cuba if the general po-
Icy of the United States, as indicat-
ed by late dispatches, is carried out
No action on the part of the great
American Republic, except actual
participation in hostilities, could
do no more to inspire zeal among
the Cubans and determination to
press forward to complete success
and absolute freedom from the
oppressive hand of monarchy. The
resolution passed by the United
States Senate is practically a de-
claration of moral support; an
assertion by Congress, of what the
people have already given wide
spread expression, that the sympa-
thies of the United States are with
the men who are lighting for
liberty. The vote by which the
resolution was passed was remark
able. While it was anticipated
that belligerent rights would, sooner
or later, be granted, there has been
nothing to indicate that the politi-
cal parties of the country would
join hands to such an extent as to
make the expression practically
unanimous.
Aside from the endorsement of
Republican principles, the action
of Congress is simply treating Spain
to a little of its own medicine. 1t
was Spain that first recognized the
Confederacy, hardly waiting until
the echoes of the guns of Fort
Sumter had died away. The recog-
milton of the Confederacy was dis
tinctly an unfriendly act, and, on
the part of England and France,
as well as Spain, was simply a
strategic move to reap the benefit
derived from the possible dismem-
berment of the Union.
What action Spain will take in
this affair is still matter of con-
lecture. With the many thousand
men required to ight the Cubans,
it is not probable that it will make
any forcible demonstration of its
disapproval. The most that can
be done is to make the surround
ings in Cuba, for United States
citizens particularly warm, and
judging from General Weyler's past
record, there will not be any short

remarks upon the publication of
tax office figures, we contend for
the exposing of peoples private
business affairs to the free exami-
nation of the general public" He

by law, open to the inspection of
the public, but not in the sense
that any man may use them for the
purpose of ferreting out all the ms
and outs of his neighbours private
affairs"

state that there was some mis-
understanding concerning the po-
sition taken by the Minister of Fin
ance, and that he made known his

THE PROPOSED HOTEL.

The news that the first class,
modern hotel that has so long been
on the list of long-felt wants" is
to be a tangible realization of the
near future will be glad tidings to
many people of this country inter-
ested in increasing the tourist ira
vel. And the number interested,
directly or indirectly, in tourist
travel takes in about all the popu-
lation of the islands. In the mind
of the travelling public the hotel
accommodations constitute one of
the all-important items in making
an itinerary. Unfortunately the
Hawaiian Islands cannot boast of
having reputation for the high
est grade of hotels. Why this
state of affairs exists we will
not attempt to say, but it is never
theless a fact, and, when in the
face of an ardent advocate of the
Hawaiian Islands as a winter re-
sort, there is thrust a searching
question as to our accommodations,
the poor man usually throws up
his hands. One reason for present
defects may be in the failure of the
merchants to cooperate as they in
tend to do under the new scheme
that is soon to be launched. Such
a combination as the one proposed
ought to assure success, and it is
not exaggerating the failings of
mankind for excellence in the sur
roundings of their hotel homes, to
say that an hosiery, up-to-date in
all its appointments will bring
as much transient trade to
the Islands as an occasional
outbreak of the volcano. Science
and climatic surroundings count
for a good deal, but how many re-
sorts are there that attract crowds
of people simply by the high class

MAKE THE FIGURES PUBLIC.

The next question Senator Nc.
| Candies should put to the Minis
ter of Finance is, Why should the
books of the tax office be closed to
the public? 1t is indeed a most
extraordinary situation in which
the people are PLACED. A measure
has been introduced to bring about
a more equitable apportionment of
the taxes of the country, and at the
very outset the public is practically
refused figures which will be of no
little assistance to individuals in
forming opinions. True, these
figures have been offered the repre-
sentatives Of the people for inspec-
ton, but the tax bill now before
the Legislature is a measure in
which every man who owns or ever
expects to own a dollars worth of
property in this country, is direct
ly interested, and there ought not
to be one single item on the books |
of the tax office that should not be |
published in every paper in the
land if such request were made.
The people have full confidence in
their representatives, but if there
is one question on earth in which
they are interested, and very prop
erly so, it is in the methods of tax
alton and the detail of the present

The Minister of Finance is ad-
a most excellent measure

oil as this that seeds of upwar-
anted distrust thrive. And, fur
nermore, the people of this coun- !
ry cannot form an adequate idea

lone can clinch their conclusions

JUDGING from the attempted tiff
in the Senate yesterday and pre-
viOus events of a similar nature, it
would seem that the upper house
possesses some wonderfully touchy
members. The men who put chips
on their shoulders when criticism
is turned in their direction, are
liable to be in hot water most of
the time if they enter the political
arena.

| readiness to make public the figures
referred to, if the Senate called for
them. As to our contention for
exposing private affairs, we wish
! it understood that the position
taken is, that not one single item
on the books of the tax Office can
be regarded as a private affair to be
kept strictly within the confines OF
the Office, or that information can
be refused concerning any detail OF
the tax and by whom paid. There
is nothing in the tax office that can
properly be classed as private.
Just at the present time the gen
eral impression abroad in the
land is that the corporations are
reaping all the gold from the soil
and not bearing their proportional
share of the financial burdens of |
the Government. The Minister OF
Finance, in his annual report, has
given totals which tend de-
to support this suppo-
sition. 1t may well be taken
for granted that the corporations
are what the people are after at
Just this present time. Now the
various solutions of this problem of
equalization of taxes are as multi
sudinous as is possible. The Min
Ister of Finance wants TO have the
time of assessment changed; others
believe the sugar corporations
should be taxed on the total output :.
# their product for the preceding +
ear; still others hold that the c
should be taxed for the |
ull amount represented by the
apital stock; and finally there are
rdent advocates of the income
AK.
To come to anything near a cor
ect conclusion in considering this
uestion, there must be an I'M
eserved display OF tax returns in u
etail, and it is just as important .
n the public to know these u
cures as it is for the special u
of the Senate. The 81
objection offered to IL
enator McCsndless' questions was a

the yearly rental demanded. Be
sides this parties leasing the plots
are obliged to pay to the landlord
a tax amounting to from 80 to
$3.50. This last is over and above
the direct tax paid to the Govern
ment. Hhus it will be noted that
at the expiration of five and ten
year leases, the rental has been in
creased 80 per cent. and in many
cases a still larger proportion.
The injustice of the system is alto
gether too glaring not to, attract
comment, particularly as the land
is practically the property of
the Government, owing to the
conditions under which the orig
inal lease is held. The matter
should not only attract comment,
but it should receive a thorough
investigation, at the hands of either
the Executive or Legislature, or
both, by the Government. There
is really no cause for the exaction
Of such increased rentals, and,
should such policy be continued,
it would, to all intents and pur-
poses, put an end to the home
building efforts of the Portuguese
colony.
