The majority of the people haven't the
time to study the question; they simply
look at results. If they have time to
read at all they know that the country
never has been prosperous under a low
tariff, and further that a tariff is the
easiest way of raising revenue and de-
veloping our industries 1t is not a
theory that confronts the country.

MR.. FAIR IN COURT.
Accused of Soliciting Orders for
Foreign Goods.

Accused OF oOlfCltlDS OIuSFS iOE
Foreign Goods.
Aubrey Fair, one of the partners of
the Stockton Milling Company, was
tried in the District Court yesterday on
the charge of soliciting for his COM
pany without a license. Mr.. Fairs duty
is to visit the company's agents all
over the world at least once a year
and lend whatever assistance is neces-
sary for the promotion of their inter
ests.
Mr.. Fair, it seems, is in no sense
selling agent for the company, nor has
he been charged with importing and
selling goods, as was stated. in an after
noon paper. Some time ago, while IL
San Francisco, Mr.. Fair met member
of the firm of McChesney & Sons, and
began the negotiations of deal where
by that firm would be made Hawaiian
agents for a particular brand of his
company's flour. The negotiations
were not concluded at the time and a
few days after his arrival here, Mr..
Fair called on McChesney & Sons and
renewed the conversation. The deal
was consumated and it was understood
that the goods could come through Cas-
lie & Cooke, or direct from the mill.
The latter plan was suggested.
At another time Mr.. Fair called on
the California Feed Company and talk
/ ed business with the manager. The
Police Department learned of these two
transactions, and Mr.. Fair was sum-
moned to appear in court. On the stand
he testified that the firm of Castle &
Cooke were the sole agents in these
Islands for the sale of the product of
his company, and that they were in
| terested in every pound of flour shipped
! by them to the Islands; that individ-
ually he did not import goods to sell
here and that whatever had been done
| by him since his arrival here was in
the interest of Castle & Cooke, and that
it was supposed they were benefited
| by his suggestions. He made no at
] tempt to conceal his actions, which
were always free and above board, and
said that he was not selling goods for
| his house under cover of another firm.
He had no idea that his actions could
be construed into violation of any
law on the statutes.
Mr.. Fair was in Honolulu some nine
months ago on a similar errand, and
| permission was granted at that time
| by the Marshal, after the situation had
been explained, to assist Castle &
Cookies. statesmen without a license, as
it was considered that he was not So
Letting orders for foreign firm. He
stated yesterday that he had not OBJ
tanned a license on this occasion, be-
cause he was pursuing the same meth
DDS as previously.
Judge Wilcox stated that there ap-
peared to have been no intentional vio-
lation of the statutes, but he would
have to impose merely nominal fine
of $50. Mr.. Fair was defended by W
R. Castle. 1t is probable that the case
will go to the higher Court on appeal.

in case of their approval, they be

w. A. Bowen read an application,
written by himself, of young lady
for a position as teacher in a certain
school. She did not care to have her
name mentioned, and did not care to
have even the name of the school
mentioned.
A letter from a lady on the PENN
sula recommended Miss Mabel Sumter
for a position as teacher in one of the
schools of the city.
Referring to trouble between certain
two teachers in the city, Mr.. Bowen
said that he had received a call from
one of the men, who recommended
Ieniency in the case of the other when
action was taken He wished it to be
understood that this was meant in no
spirit of impertinence to the Board,
but simply as a word by the wayside.
President Cooper said that he was
ready to speak his mind as member
of the committee, to whom had been
referred the examination into the
cases of two teachers, against whom
charges had been made. The other
two members of the committee were
not ready to report, so the matter was
held over until the next session.

Taxpayer Replies.

MR.. EDITOR:-In answer TO the

statement in Tuesdays paper, 1 would
ask him, how is a taxpayer to tell
whether he is overtaXed or not, but by
comparing his property with that OF
his neighbors and his taxes also? l
should imagine any right-mlnded per-
son who pays just tax, or an unjust
tax, would be very willing to let his
neighbors know how much he pays, but
one whose taxes are below par would
not like it known, as the Assessor
would probably raise him next year.
1t seems peculiar that, although tax

peoples taxes, yet they see great

newspapers, under the heading of De

Office if they took any notes from year
to year about the condition of the prop
erty and improvements. 1t seems a
great deal is left to memory, for in
stance, the Assessors were on my land
some time in May, and one of them
asked my Japanese servant if I had
bought any more land, two sides of a
fence having been put across the land
The Assessors did not recognize it as
belonging to the original piece, and for
that $50 feet of rough fencing, and a
small chicken house, total worth less
than $50, they assessed me on $500
more this year, as I had not sent in
my returns by January, thinking July
was the time. The right of appeal is
lost; any way, it would be the same
