put him in the prison gang and let
him work out his taxes on the roads.
Truly, it is a noble system. and orc
which in future years will be studied
with curiosity. The theory that to
have no money is a crime is fully de-
veloped
But we will not consider those Grim
inals who have no money, we will look
at those honest men who have job.
say at twenty dollars a month. There
are plenty who earn that amount in
this country. and who even earn less
Twenty dollars a month means S2lo
year. Five dollars tax paid on this
is at the rate of two and five-siNths
per cent. Now property owners pay
only one per cent upon their proner-
ty, and they make a considerable
kick about that. They get, morrow
err. an exemption up to $500 of value
for each owner. But the poor devil
who has no property whose sole cap
ital in this world is a pair of brawny
arms and an unfailing appetite must
pay at a rate that is close on three
times the rate of the property owner
When one looks at direct taxation
from this point of view one at once
recognizes the iniquity of it. Direct
personal taxation of this crude kind
exactly reyerses what every one
now recognizes as the true
method of taxation As you descend
from the rich to the poor the rate of
taxation increases. The true method
would make the rate of taxation in
crease as you ascend from the poor
to the very rich, inasmuch as the OBJ
ject of taxation being to give the
means for the protection of property,
he who has much, should pay much
in proportion.
The proposal to drop a dollar off
the personal taxes by abolshing the
poll tax will still make the S24O man
pay at a higher rate than the prop
erty owner. He will pay at the rate
of one and two-thirds per cent for
the privilege of living, instead of two
and tive-siXth per cent, and he ought
to be satisfied with that as begin
ming.
But there are arguments against
the reduction which will have to be
considered and which The Star will
try to set forth on future occasion.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-03-31
POLL TAX.

The question of taxation is one
which interests everybody, the poor
as well as the rich. Yesterday a con-
siderable amount of time was devot-
ed in the House to this subject, and
it was finally postponed for a month.
The question was whether the poll tax
of one dollar should be RENTED. The
Finance Committee of the House was
against the remission, the Minister of
Finance and several members were in
favor. The question admits of cogent
arguments for and against.
The poll tax is relic of barbarism
but this is true of our entire system
of taxation. 1t is crude and utterly
unscientific. 1t is one of the oldest
methods of raising revenue and in its
origin was levied by conquerors on a
conquered people for the privilege of
allowing them to live. Then Tetul-
liam says of the tax: ''Men are de-
graded if they pay a poll tax, for it
is token of captivity" that was the
opinion of the middle ages. and shows
the idea of the origin of the tax. There
is no more degradation in paying a
poll tax now, than there is in paying
a tax is derived.
Poll or capitation taxes have often
been the cause of trouble and insur-
ffction. The idea of making all peo-
pie pay exactly the same sum is at
once seen to he unjust In fact in
justice in taxation was the basis of
many of the systems, and the injus-
tice always fell upon the poor, as 1t
does to the present day. In France,
before the revolution, and that was
little more than a hundred years ago,
they had the following beautiful the
DRY. The CLERGY protected the coun-
try by their prayers, the mobiles by
their arms, and the commons by the
taxes they paid" 1t was truly
beautiful theory, but it finally ended
in anarchy and bloodshed There was
survival of the theory on these Is
lands, for certain classes of the COM
munity were once specially exempt
from taxation, if memory serves 1t
was clergy and schoolmasters. We
have improved that anomaly out Of
existence.
Now for moment look at the eff
feet of the direct taxes including poll
tax, upon the people here. They
! amount to five dollars, no matter

STRAWS.

A glance at the European papers
shows that they regard war between
the United States and Spain rs almost
certain, going so far as to say that it
will commence by a given date. The
Continental papers which sympathize
with the United States are few and
far between. The British press, how
ever. is very favorable to the Great
Republic 1t is very evident that
some sort of understanding is being,
or has been. arrived at between the
Foreign Office of the United States
and that of London. Mr.. Curzon's re-
fusal to reply to certain questions in
the House of Commons distinctly en-
phasized the fact. and the tone of
some of the influential papers is an
other indication. \ union of the
Anglo-SaNon nations of the earth
would be of immense strength and
would tell more for peace than any
other thing. \ federation of all Eng
lish speaking states has been the
dream of many a statesman, and it is
a dream which might have realization.
The condition of affairs in Cuba eX-
cites as much horror in Great Britain
as it does in the United States. The
Spectator. a very conservative journal
using conservative not in its polit-
zeal sense-wonders whether even the
Thirty Years War produced as great
horrors as have been perpetrated in
Cuba. Senator Gallinger's indictment
will go forth to the ends of the earth
and find an echo in the heart of every
English speaker on the face of the
globe. The Spectator will, then, have
no doubt about whether the horrors
are as great as it imagined or not.
The United States will have the
sympathy and support of millions
when she finally puts her foot down
and says that the condition of mat
tiers in Cuba must cease, or if they do
not cease, she takes the other alterna-
tive and uses force to carry out her
scheme of humanity.
