THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax bill occupied the
House the whole of Wednesday. AS
will be seen in the legislative report,
there has been a material change in
Section l. Any one referring to the ac-
count of the bill published in these col
umns April %, can readily see what
has been done. The rate has been low
cred from three to one per cent, and
the limit of exemption is two thousand
dollars. AS to the whole bill, as amend
ed. a careful review will be given i'll
these columns later. The main point
for which. in conjunction with the
been fighting is gained The issue is so
live that it will never die till the tax
alton system of the country has been
thoroughly revised and the burden of
taxation has been put on the shoulders
that should bear it.
The speech of the Minister of Finance
on this subject is the speech of the ses-
sion. He has laid himself down, fiat
footed, as a representative of the peo-
pie He may depend upon it that the
people will support him. He has shown
the true republican spirit and has put
himself on record as man against a |
class. 1t is difficult thing for man |
to throw away the trammels of class, |
but when a man does it, as the GracchI !
did i'll Rome, he makes mark in the |
history of his country. Also he does
not make a bed of roses for himself
Knowing all this, as Minister Damon |
must do we honor him the more for his
bold and statesmanlike stand.

The death of Kate Field was sad in
deed, separated from home, but not, it
must be said, from friends. The number
of people present at her funeral showed
how she had reached the hearts of the
community here. Her winning manner,
her careful desire to know the truth,
her unswerying determination to do her
duty as a true and faithful member of
the praises won for her the respect and
love of all who came into contact with
her. Though dying far from home, she
was borne to her grave with loving
hands, and true tears of sorrow were
shed over her sad fate. AS was remark
ed by Chief Justice Judd, she was
friend of Hawaii; she was true Ameri-
can.

mense influx of foreigners and the en-
tire change of the face of the country
The finances of the country rose from
a condition of bankruptcy to wealth
The newcomers were styled Uitlanders
All this class wanted was good govern
ment. The Boer government began
| granting monopoly after monopoly,
which had the effect of strangling the
! industries started The railroad is a
monopoly, the monopoly on dynamite
and explosives costs the mining indus
! try So 900 900 per annum. The Uitland-
! ers were not permitted to have munich
pal powers and the police protection
was inefficient.
In 1887, after thousands had settled
in the country. the constitution was al
tered so that man could not obtain
the franchise till after residence of
fifteen years. In 1892 the Uitlanders
began to agitate for a change in the POI
litical position and formed the Trans
vaal National Union, the objects (of
which were the maintenance of the
independence of the Republic" and the
obtaining of equal political rights. Dur
ing 1893 and 1894 there was again
legislation on the franchise, which pre-
vented Uitlander from getting a vote
till he was forty years of age, while a
In Cape Colony, on the other hand, a |
Boer can become a citizen at once on |
taking the oath. Mr.. Leonard claims |
that the taxes are far in excess of the |
needs of the Government, that there is |
class legislation and great waste in the
Government expenditure The Boer
male population is $4,000; the Uitlander
male population is $4,000 The Uitland- |
ers own half the land, all the mines,
stocks of commerce, industries and the |
town properties They own nine-tenths |
of the value of property and practically |
pay all the taxes. The Boer pays little
to the revenue and imposes at his own
sweet will what taxes he pleases, and |
the Uitlander has only to pay. He has
no voice as to his burdens.
A tale, SO told, throws a very different
light upon the present position of af-
fairs in South Africa. We can UNDER
stand how in like circumstances men
like Hays Hammond entered into a
plot to overthrow such a government
He would have been untrue to his Am
erican fOrefathers of the Revolution
had he acted differently The position
in the Transvaal is untenable. Unfor-
it is complicated with foreign
ntrigues. At any moment a war may
1urst forth and the flame once lighted
will most likely set fire to the powder
magazines of all Europe and half of -
Asia.

Gently appeared-one by Olive Schrei-
ner in the "Fortnightly' and one by

and very clear account of why things

with their subject. Miss Schreiner has

Of the most eminent lawyers there.

The superstitions, the pre-
iudices of the Beers are the same today
as were the superstitions and prejudices
of our forefathers two hundred years
ago. They firmly believe in witches,
they consider a fire as a direct judg
ment from God, and on such grounds
consider it an act of impiety to insure
a house. but they are brave, enduring
and honest. Such a people, living en-
tirely by themselves and for them |
selves, naturally cannot assimilate with
people of modern ways of thought and |
life. The discovery of gold and the con- |
sequent influx of vast numbers of en- |
ergetic men has shaken up things in |
South Africa, much as things changed |
in California after forty-nine. But the |
Beers are very different class of peo- |
pie from the sleepy Spaniards whom the
replaced in that State. The |
end will be the same, however-the |
Boer will have to assimilate to the |
new order of things or go to the wall

THE WINE BILL.

The principal redeeming feature OF
Minister Damon's wine bill is that it
is a step toward greater freedom of
trade with the United States. 1t is one
method of returning the benefits de-
rived by this country from the re-
eiprocity treaty, and if the Minister of
Finance will continue the good work
so that not only the liquor dealers of
California, but every American manu-
facturer doing business with the Ha-
waiian Islands, will share the same
benefit, then his policy should receive
hearty support
AS business measure, as sop to the
wine merchants of California, the bill
has it's good points, but as temperance
measure it is palpably weak. 1t would
have been better if nothing had been
said about temperance in connection
with it. The temperance argument
tackled onto this measure is not unlike
the argument used by the faction
to be found in every prohibition
State of the American Union who ar
que that high license is better than
prohibition, because under high license
the people get better stuff and do not
suffer the same physical injury in con-
sequence of their intemperance. Yet in
the prohibition State the arrests for
drunkenness are noticeably less than
in the State under high license laws.
Better stuff may have its advantages.
but as a rule increased intoxication goes
with it.
Furthermore, if the wine bill is in |
tended for a temperance measure, the |
wines exempt from duty should not run |
above fourteen per cent. alcoholic test, |
or the pure grape wines. The IS per
cent wines simply represent four per
cent. of alcohol added, either to keep
the wine or enhance it's value for the
retail trade. 1t is a notable fact that
with a duty of Is cents a gallon on
wines giving 81 per cent. of alcohol, the
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-05-21

imports for retail trade run close to the
extreme q per cent. limit. After all,
with people who make an Incorporate
use of liquor. it is the effect obtained
for a given price that places a popular
value on a beverage, and we may ex-
pect to see the majority of the wines
testing close to the IS per cent. limit.
If Minister Damon's temperance ar
gument is sound, then the larger part
of the beer brought into the country
ought to be exempt from duty. Beer
has a very small percentage OF alcohol,
and if light wines and beers will drive
out the more injurious spirits and sake,
then it is a good moral policy to Guilt
vate beer palates.
The only way for the Government TO
IegisIate in favor of the lighter bever-
ages and at the same time give the
United States the benefit which is it's
due is to reyamp the whole tariff law. |
It has yet to be conclusively shown |
that the increased importation of wine !
has been attended by a corresponding |
off in the consumption of more
injurious liquors. The wine bill now
before the Legislature is a makeshift,
and puts Hawaii in the position of be-
ng frightened by the threats Of Califor-
MA wine dealers, but still fearful of
with a complete and sound

Mr.. Leonard tells us OF the actual po-
sition of affairs. The Transvaal Repu
lie was founded forty years ago by Boer
emigrants from Cape Colony The
wealth of the country remained unde-
veloped, the inhabitants being hunters
and farmers. In 1877 the Republic was
threatened by hostile native tribes, and
a large number of Beers petitioned Eng
land to be annexed. The country was
annexed to England and the native
tribes were subdued at great expense.
In 1881 and agitation for restoration of
independence was begun, which ended
in an armed collision. A convention
was entered into and the Beers acquir-
ed their independence, Great Britain
being recognized as the suzerain power,
In 1884 new convention gave Great
Britain the right to veto treateies with
foreign powers. 1t was also provided
that two years residence were required
TO acquire full rights of citizenship.
