The Justices of the Supreme Court
have made answer TO the President with
reference to the income tax bill. The
Justices consider that the two tax bills
do not neutraIize one another. 1t will
be noticed that the Justices are very
careful to make no reference as TO
whether the income tax bill will be re-
garded by them as unconstitutional on
the ground of double taxation. 1t is a
pity that the President did not raise
the point 1t is the point that the mem
bers of the lower House want to know,
and it is a point that may as we'll be
settled out of hand. AS the case now
stands the reply of the Justices is just
so much dust thrown in the eyes of the
Representatives and the public.

Tramways Company is soon to go TO the
coast, which may possibly result in the
case being kept lin the courts" for six
months to come. This is the way the
Tramways Company makes haste to
tain an Interpretation of it's charter.
1t is the haste usually displayed by
monopolies that have an ironclad grip
on the public. Possibly it is the haste
born of a-mile-in-forty-min mule
teams Possibly it is premeditated de-
lay and an item in the policy of 1.-The
public be bowed" There are great
many possibilities to be drawn from
these facts, but one thing is sure-this
action is not in the line of progress or
accommodation of the public.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-06-08

With that peculiar politeness which
characterizes all the officials OF the
Tramway Company, the time table OF
the Fort street cars was suddenly
changed on Wednesday, without the
slightest notice to the travelling public.
OF course, this is just what can be ex-
pected, for the public convenience is the
first thing the officials of the Tramway
Company care for. The action of this
company is a good object lesson to the
Legislature when granting franchise.
No franchise should be granted without
having the documents drawn with scru-
pulous care, and even then unscrupu
lOus people will try their best to get
round the just provisions.
Now it is stated that the Tramway
Company is a very much abused or
ganization, and that it's manager has
beeen subjected to great deal of un-
warranted criticism. 1t has beeen stated
that the management of the company
really desires to serve the public prop
erly, and that all this fuss and fiddle,
this changing of time tables and stop
ping of cars on Queen street, ETC., is
simply the result of an honest attempt
to find out what the law is on the point
in question. If this is true, then it is
manifestly proper that the Supreme
Court should have an opportunity to
give an opinion at as early a date as
possible.
To prove the wild desire of the COM
pany to obtain the decision of the court,
it is only necessary to note few facts
The case against the Tramways Com
pany was championed by Lawyer Dick
ey in the District Court The lawyers
for the defense did not question the
fact that Mr.. Dickey was charged ten
cents for a ride from Beretania street (
to Nuuanu street. The Judge had sim
ply to pass upon the Interpretation of
the law-and his decision was in favor
OF Mr.. Dickey. The law allows that in
cases Of this character the appeal NAV
be made to the Supreme Court direct.
Had this course been taken, it would
have been only a matter of a few weeks
before the manager of the Tramways
Company would know just what he
might do under his company's charter.
Was this done? Oh, no. The Tram
ways Company wants to get all the legal
opinion possible. The case was appeal
ed to the Circuit Court, jury being waiv-
ed. This makes it impossible for the
matter to reach the Supreme Court be-
fore the next term, some time in Sep
TENDER. And on top of all this it is
announced that the counsel for the

The final fete in connection with the
coronation of the Gar opened with
terrible rush for seats that resulted in
many men, women and children being
trampled to death. Then, as the dis
patches have it, the police and military
forced the crowd back and the function
went on 'as if nothing had happened.
This is a good example of the regard
Russian authorities have for human
life. Men, women and children may be
slaughtered even on the occasion OF the
browning of the ruler, but the police
and military step in and everything
goes on with innocent sublimity. Mill
tary and police hold complete sway, and
the iron rule of their relentless superb
ors has crushed out of the common peo-
pie what little spark of humanity they
may have been blessed with when
brought into the world.
