This looks like a story that could be
taken with a very large pinch of salt.
There are men who will back the Gu

for sentimental reasons. Of course, to
have the privilege of selling the Gov
eminent lands and the monopoly of the
railroads and telephone and telegraph
lines, besides other privileges, is a con-
bait; but there is no certainty

The opening of Pauahi Hall at Oahu
College marks another era in the his
tory of that institution. The building
is a fine one and would do credit to any
city anywhere. The people who assem-
bled were the most representative OF
the community. The address of Presl-
dent Dole told the history of the lnstl-
tuition and was at times reminiscent,
at times sparkling, and its peroration
struck the key note of true education
when he said that the time had come
when no question of science could be
put that would not find an answer
there. If such broad policy is carried
out-and Professor Hosmer emphasized
the same point when he said that no re-
Iigious bar, no color line, no line OIL
wealth should be drawn-again we say,
if such policy is carried out, Oahu Col
lege has a great future before it.

The gentlemen who have had the in
come tax in hand have made one radical
mistake. The same mistake has been
made in the English income tax. As the
tax stands here and in England, ex-
emption is given, then abatement up 10
a certain figure, and then the whole in
come is taxed without abatement or ex-
emption. Now, this is theoretically
wrong. because the whole idea OF the
tax is as Scion put it in Athens, leach
had equal physical necessities and those
should be exempt from taxation" Now,
If is lust that the exemption be allowed
to all. be they rich or be they poor.
However, our tax men are yet in en-
bryo, and they will learn good deal
by looking into these questions.

4 FREE HIGH SCHOOL.

While the House is upon the bill re-
organizing the Board of Education, it
would be well for the members to con-
slider the question of whether the High
School should remain pay school or
not.
1t was the intention of the Board Of
Education when the present High
School was established, to abolish school
fees and make it free to all. After
much discussion it was finally decided
to leave the question to the Legislature,
but up to this time no one has taken
the matter up. 1t does seem an anomaly
that the highest education to be obtain
ed in our Government system is not free
to any child of the Republic, no matter
what the means of it's parents may be-
In order to meet the difficulty the
Board has established a series of free
scholarships, but they are distributed in
a somewhat arbitrary manner, and go
chiefly to those who importune till they
get them. But such a system is wrong.
If there are to be free scholarships they
should be obtained for merit, by exam
ination, and not donated as a species
of charity. Charity is not what the self
respecting poor man or poor woman
wants. He or she should have by right
what is now given by charity.
If we go to California we find not only
all the High Schools free, but we find
the Universities free to the children of
the State, and the same holds good al
most throughout the Union.
There is no greater source of pride to
the citizen of the United States than |
the system of free schools, and it is
from those schools that the brightest
members of the Senate, of the Repre-
of the bar and of mercantile |
and literary life come We claim to be |
becoming more and more Americanized |
as the time goes on. Let the Legisla- !
ture take long step in the right direc- !
ton and give us that pride of American |
cities, Free High School.

THE INCOME TAN.

With the exception of the first sec
+ion REPRESENTATIVE Winston's income
tax bill has passed with but little alter
alton. People with an income not eX-
ceeding $4,000 will be exempt from the
tax. and those whose incomes do not
exceed $4,000 will be entitled to an
abatement of $4,000 This will come
into effect in June, 1897, and by the time
the next Legislature meets we shall
know a great deal more about the posi-
bilities of the tax than we do now.
Hitherto the Legislators have been go
ing upon theory and very rough calcu-
Iation. When the next Legislature
meets there will be enough facts before
it to Justify the entire revision of our
fax system. and it is to be hoped that
this will be brought in as ministerial
measure, with all the statistics neces-
sary to back such measure up.
Before the third reading it might be
well to consider the time set for the col
lection of the tax. Is it just or wise to
make all taxes payable at the same
time? What is the time of year when 1t
is most convenient for men TO pay the
tax ON their income? The question has
been put to several people, and of
course the smart ones reply, None!
But the convenience of the taxpayer is
one of the four canons of taxation. As
Ely says, taxes on landlords should be
collected at a time when they usually
receive their rents, if there is any local
custom in this respect. Taxes on farm
ers or planters ought to be made pay
able when they are accustomed TO re-
ceive their annual cash returns on their
produce People whose income comes in
gradually by the week or month will
find it much easier to meet their obli- |
cations to the public treasury if al |
lowed to pay in quarterly instruments"
There is good common sense in the
above argument. The income tax has |
been collected in some countries month
ly. We advocate no such plan, but we
do not see why the tax from certain
classes of income should not be col
lected quarterly. That is, the assess
ment is made for the full year and the
taxpayer is given time, at his option,
to pay quarterly. However, most of
such questions will probably come up
in the Senate. They certainly deserve
serious consideration.
Will the bill pass the Senate? If the
Senate is wise it will. But it has many
enemies in that house, and some of I.
them are the best fighting members.
The bill is a popular one, the people
its principles and regard it's
passage as a distinct step in advance.
To kill the bill will be to antagonize the
people. All want to see the experiment
tried, and there is no doubt that once
tried it will become in time the very
of our taxation system.
