I failing in the compromise, again voted
/ down-and the funding bill continues
to repose on the table.
Whatever defects there may have
been in the funding bill as it was intro
duced they have been Swallowed into in
significance by the manner in which the
bill was handled. The bill was c rtainIy
OF sufficient Importance to have been
given the dignity of a Senate caucus
Judging from the vote which tabled the
bill, and later votes on the McCandless
resolution, it is quite evident that some
of the Senators didn't realize what they
were doing when the majority report
was accepted. Even now it is rumored
on very good authority that if Senator
Baldwin's amendment to the resolu-
ton had been five per cent. instead of
eight it would have been accepted. But
this was not discovered until the Sen
ate had adjourned for the day. In fact,
the history of the bill during it's life in
the Senate has been notable for the
large number or instances Where the
forethoughts have come afterwards,
which reminds one of the request made
IN the House that a vote be reconsider
ed so that the members could find out
what they had voted for.
With the funding bill the discussion
at the open meeting of the Finance
Committee seems to have shaped the
destiny of the measure more than any
thing that was said in the Senate. The
men who wanted the bill tabled got
in their work, and those who had not
formed positive opinions awoke too late
to save the bill. Hence It is that to the
Senate and the Senate alone is due the
continuance of the fat six per cent.
interest which Hawaii is paying its

THE INCOME TAX.

The advantages of an income tax is
that a Minister of Finance can increase
or decrease the national income with
an almost certain knowledge Of how
much he will gain or how much he will
retrench. 1t is also a certain guide to
the prosperity OF a country. Thus, in
England in 1854, one penny in the
pound income tax produced over one
million of revenue; from 1864 to 1876
the net yield was one million and three
quarters for every penny in the pound,
while i'm 1884 it was more than two mil
lion for every penny.
The rate of tax under an income
tax is variable according to the needs
of the country. With us it would vary,
probably, every session, or once in two
years. With great prosperity three
per cent rate, which is Mr.. Winston
proposition, might be reduced to two
per cent rate, or if large public works
were needed a four per cent. rate might
be put on. The higher the rate the
larger the exemption should be. Thus,
if it is decided that the limit of ex-
emption should be $500 at the three per
cent. rate, if the rate was ever raised |
to four per cent the limit of exemption |
might be made $500. Mr.. Winston's bill |
is now in the hands of a committee of
the House and will be reported on next
Friday. The bill will then be fully dis
cussed in all it's bearings. 1t is UNI
doubtedly popular bill, and acts in the
exemptions not too high and abate-
mcnts not too low, it will be of advant-
age to the community and the Ministry

TAX REFORM.

Taxing IuXuries has been just anC
proper use of the taxing power, and
they have, in some countries, been pro.
gressive taxes. The main idea of such
taxation was to exempt the necessaries
of life and to throw the burden upon
Iuxuries. Pitt was a thorough believer
in progressive taxation. Thus, in his
scheme for carriage tax, one carriage
was charged $40; if two were kept, $40
for the first, $45 for the second; if three
or more, $40 for the first and $50 apiece
| for the others. So in the matter of a
tax on servants the same progressive
scale of charge was used. In 1885 there
was tax of 1925 for one servant, and
it mounted up progressively to SIS
apiece where eleven or more servants
were kept.
These instances are cited to show
how progressive tax reaching the rich
and laying small burdens on the poor
can be done. 1t is the problem of the
taxation of this country. We do not
want to get increased taxes from the
two hundred dollar year men. If any
thing we should decrease the amount of
taxation on such small incomes To ask
five dollars year from a small income
is far too much; such incomes should
escape taxation in toto. But our tax
alton upon those who have large in
comes should be correspondence great |
Our strong objection to the license
bill is its unfairness; the man who has
a large income from his profession or
trade has to pay just as much as one
who is getting little or nothing from it, |
and this is both unjust and unfair. 1t
is really but a makeshift 1t is quite |
understood that the Minister regards it |
as but little stopping of the leak as
it were, a mere patching, of the financial |
hull to wait till such time as sound |
and complete system of taxation shall |
be formulated.
Our financial policy needs a com
plete Overhauling. Whatever the Tegis- !
lature may do this session, and there !
can be no gainsaying that there have |
been some good bills proposed-nOtabIy |

but have been, to a certain extent, iso-
lated efforts at solving a difficult ques-
ton.
There is no doubt but that a system
of taxation could be devised for this
which would press less hardly
on the small incomes, and would yet
yield a national income far in excess
Of what it is now. 1t should be the dis
-fnct study of Senators and Representa-
tives, after this session is over, to be
prepared two years hence with COM

REVIEW OF THE FUNDING VOTES

After the vote of the Senate on tn
McCandless resolution Friday, we ar
not disposed to dispute the statemen
made by one of our worthy Legislators
that the refunding proposition has re
ceived it's quietus for the present ses
sion Consequently, it is interesting il
not important to review the history OF
this measure that has been handled in
such an unstatesmanlike manner.
The funding bill was introduced by
Minister Damon as one of numerous
measures to get the financial obliga-
tions of this country into a business
like condition, 10 reduce our annual in
terest account and establish our credit
abroad. The bill was referred to a spe-
ciaI committee. Tbs committee obtain
ed the views OF d few business men who
opposed the measure on account of the
large discounts and commissions pro
posed, and also suggested that it would
be better to wait two years before at
tempting such a move. After due time
taken for deliberation, the special com
mittee offered a majority report recon-
mending thai the measure be tabled.
Senators Schmidt and Baldwin oil red
a minority report favoring the bill. The
reports came before the Senate, and
after a few five-minute speeches the
funding bill was tabled.
This was a manifestly unpopular
move, and the Senators who voted
against the bill saw it, Then it was
that Senator McCandIess' resolution,
Ito obtain the sense of the Senate" on
a four per cent. loan with three per
cent. discount and two per cent. COM
mission, came to the front as peace of
fering to soften the raw edge OF criti-
cism following the hasty and ill-advised
action. No one with half an eye to
business administration could expect
the Executive to attempt to refund on
the conditions named. The supporters
of the resolution had no proof to offer
that the national loan could be refunded
on those conditions. They stated
that it could be done, and that was the
end of it. The Executive would have
displayed the height of imbecility to ac-
cept simply a say so" that was not
backed up by good United States gold
coin or its equivalent.
AS proof of the fact that a fair pro
portion of the Senate is in favor of re-
funding, the McCandless resolution was
voted down. Then it was found that
the requisite number of votes could not
be obtained to take the funding bill
from the table. In hopes that some
compromise might be reached to save
the Senate from the reproach conse- |
quent to killing such popular meas |
ure as the refunding bill, the McCand- |
less resolution was again taken up, and
