PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX.

Whatever comes from Mr. Davies pen
on financial matters is worthy of care
full consideration, whether one agrees
with him or not. When Mr.. Davies has
something to say he says it, and his
reasoning is clear, from his point OF
view With Mr.. Winston's bill Mr. Da-
vies agrees in the main and disagrees
in regard to details. We doubt if the
any more friction in the future than in
the past However, Mr.. Davies point is
we'll taken and will have due weight
when the bill comes up for discussion.
The idea of basing the calculations
upon an average of three years income
of plantations is also practical and will
avoid great fluctuations.
With Mr.. Davies views on a progress
sive income tax we cannot agree. In
former times anything that was re-
form measure was usually quickly
squelched by saying that it was hereti-
cal. At the present time when it is de-
sired to deny anything the bugaboo of
socialism is brought on and f1ourished.
If a progressive tax is socialistic, it is
certainly a very old form of socialism,
for it was in use in Athens under Solon
and Scion was every whit as great
man as Gladstone. Of Solon's plan of
progressive taxation it has been said by
in a
though it was not proportional. If it
did not follow the proportion of goods,
il did follow the proportion of needs.
1t was judged that each had equal
physical necessities and that those ne
cessities ought not to be taxed; that the
useful comes next, and that it ought to
be taxed, but less than what was super
fuous; and lastly, that the greatness of
the tax on the superiority should repress
the superfiuity'' This is an able argu-
ment for a progressive income tax; it
contains no grain of socialism, as Mr..
Davies uses the word, but it contains an
able statement of what should be one
of the fundamental precepts of perfect
State.
AS for the many taxing the few, the
burden of proof is all the other way. |
1t has ever been the many, that is, the |
poor, who have paid their full share, |
while the few, that is, the very rich, |
have not paid their full share. Even |
Mr. Davies himself will not claim that
On the large sums he has been fortunate
in making in this country he or any
1ther equally wealthy man has paid the
proper quota of taxes. We do not mean
that he or others have shirked their
taxes, but that the laws were so framed
that he and they could legally avoid
them. The few have taxed the many
through all the ages of tine.

CUT IN THE MILITARY.

The cut to be made in the military ex-
penses of the Government is simply an
extension of the economical policy in
augurated and vigorously urged by Min
lister Cooper. 1t is an evidence of good
business administration and a further
demonstration of the increasing sta
bility of the political conditions of the
country. This move, besides adding to
Minister Damon's contemplated surplus,
will steal the thunder of a select few
who have INDUCED in wild vaporings
to the effect that the Executive is run
ming the military and police depart
ments to see how much public money
can be expended.
OF course the individuals directly af-
fected by this curtailment of expenses
will not be particularly pleased with the
results, but they, as citizens of the Re
public. should feel gratified that the
peaceful condition of the community
enables the Government to save money
in this department, which means the
expenditure of larger sums in forward
ing public improvements and develop
ing the industrial resources OF the coun-
try 1t is the hope of every public
spirited citizen that the time will come
when the military will be represented
by corporaPs guard that can be main
tanned at an expense of a few thou
sand a year. Even with the clothing
allowance withdrawn, the salaries of
the members of the Hawaiian army are
good bit higher than those of Uncle
Sans fighting force
Although Colonel Mclean is touched
by the reduction, he may feel a certain
amount of personal satisfaction in that
he is responsible for the good discipline
and increased effectiveness of the fight
ing force. A hundred men we'll dis
ciplined can do more and better work
when called into action than five times
that number who have received only a
smattering of military training,
A saving of over $4,000 having been
made before all the appropriation bills
have passed, it may dawn upon some
of our public economists that the
amounts called for by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs are entirely too large,
and consequently cut should be made
in the amount of money placed at his
disposal. They should not forget, how
ever, that it is good business policy to
be prepared for an emergency. The Elk
ecutive is feeling its way toward a re-
duction of the armed force in a business
like manner, and there can be no doubt
that money will be saved at every point
possible; but it should be remembered
that a reserve fund to draw upon in
case Of urgent necessity is also an i'm
portant item Of sound, business-Iike adj |

Professor Sumner says: Taxation
tends to diffuse itself, but on the line
of least resistance. Now, the line of
least resistance is found among the
poor, the line of great resistance among
the rich. Proportional taxation is al
ways found to be regrsssive taxation; in
other words, the power of resistance on
the part of wealth is so great that it
never pays it's fair share. In no
place in the United States are the veal
thy properly assessed
Mr.. Davies quoted English precedent
against progressive taxation; but if
memory serves us the legacy duties of
England are progressive, and the meas
Ure came, we believe, from the Liberal
party.
AS to the expression, You cannot tax
aDsentees, - that is a bare statement In
the Colonies of Australia they can and
do. 1t is a perfectly logical position for
a community to take. They say to the
man who chooses to spend his money
abroad, by all means do so, but as you
take so much wealth away from us, we
intend to tax you heavily. Stay here,
spend your wealth here and you are do
ing us all some good, directly or indi-
rectly. But spend your 5000 900 or so in
Paris or London and we certainly don't
benefit by it, either directly or indi-
rectly.
The troubles of Ireland today are
mainly to be traced to the absentees,
and we may feel assured that the trou-
bles of Hawaii will some day be traced
to similar source, unless we make it
costly enough for our absentees to de-
eide to stay at home, take part in the
burdens of the State and manfully come
to help to guide it's policy.

The Orange Situation


The latest reports from the east indicate
that the supply of oranges sent from Cali
fornia rather oversupplies the demand, or
more accurately more than supplies the
demand for the particular quality of fruit
cen forward.
The late wind and weather bit rather
deeply into the fruit in the neighborhood of
Riverside, making it necessary to forward
some hundreds of carloads promptly if
anything was to be realized from their SALE
This system has been pursued with the re-
suit OF a slight indication of glut of fruit
which is scarcely to be regarded as a fair
sample of California products. Some of it
has been ''turned DOWN. by refusal to
accept on the part of the consignees, and
more has been put on the market and sold
for what it will bring. But all things con,
sidered, the situation may be regarded as
a favorable one. Owing to the large
amount of stock necessary to be marketed
Immediately, growers have held back fruit
which would gain in quality or at least suf-
fer no damage by remaining on the trees.
The exchanges have been PARTICULARS con-
eervative in this respect, and also as re-
CARDS this we'll established policy of
shipping only marketable fruit. As a re-
suit they have had no reflections, and have
maintained their reputation for handling
choice goods. The oranges damaged by
bruising or thorning are tolerably well out
OF the way, and another week or two will
see the market in it's normal condition of
strong demand and moderate supply.
