There was practical unanimity
from the outset that the principle
of an income tax was right. 1t
was strongly opposed by infiuen-
tial persons, however, on different
grounds. 1t would clash, constitu
tionally, with the special tax of
Schedule +" as double taxation.
The Minister of Finance did not
want the additional revenue. No.
body could guess at the proper
rating for such revenue re-
suits as might be desired
In case the Government codls
get away with more money.
Now the House has taken the
bull by The horns with a PROPOSE
ton to clear Schedule Il" off the
track. Its resulting revenues are
not worth all the trouble aud an

income tax of the lightest expert
mental kind would fill the blank,
besides affording criterion for
arranging a permanent scale of
rates. There would seem to be
no reason, then, why this begin

not be made at once.

There is nothing derogatory to
the dignity of Hawaii, according
to the degree of independence that
it enjoys, in making the franchise
to the Pacific Cable Company de-
pendent upon the official approval
Of the United States Secretary of
State. LII two ways the assertion
just made will hold good. 1t is a
pure matter of expediency, for one
end of the cable is to be in United
States territory. If Mr.. Jones
wants to throw string of flags
across Fort street on the fourth
of July he will have to ask the
occupant of the building
opposite his bank for permits.
sion to fasten that end of the
string on the peak of such build
ing. Similarly, there would be no
use in granting a Hawaiian fran
ohise for cable from the United
States to Hawaii if the company
receiving it could not get authori
ty to make a start in laying the
cable at that end. In the same way
an American franchise would be
no good unless Hawaii allowed it's
holder to land the cable at this
end. There is no means of hold
ing a Legislative conference be-
tween the two countries on the
subject, whose findings could have
my more effect than those of a
committee of the legislature of
either country. Therefore, the best
that each country can do is to act

Nobody asked the Ministers to
reduce their salaries in the first
place. The former rate was not
regarded by the people as too
high. When they voluntarily
offered to serve for the present
figure, they should have utterly
discnuutenauced the proposal for
an increase while they remained
in Office. If any of them does not
like the pay, there is an easy way
to relieve himself.

wall for a hundred years and
special bounty to Hawaii for these
more than twenty years-qulte
reasonably aud as a matter of
course is given the commanding
say in the matter. If she reject
the application of the Pacific
Cable Company, then, by another
forehanded provision in the bill,
the Hawaiian Government is free
to act i'll granting a franchise to
whatever company may receive
the desired privileges from the
United States. This Government,
il may also be said in passing,
would in the same case be also
free to repulse the American en-
francbised company if it's terms
were much less favorable to this
country than those offered by the
company now favored by the
Senate and almost certain to be SO
by the House. In such contin.
gency Hawaii would have all re-
quisite scope for the display OF
dignity. Another point of absur-
dity in the outcry that has been
started on the score of Hawaiian
dignity is that an existing fact is
wilfully ignored, because
the newspaper utterer of the cry
knows the situation as we'll as
anybody The fact is that the
United States is the suzerain of
Hawaii in the foreign affairs of
this country, and much more must
Hawaii acknowledge and abide by
this suzerainty in international
matters between itself and the
United States. Such mutual rela-
tions between the two countries
were emphasized recently when
Hawaii was refused permission of
the United States to grant Great
Britain an outlying and desolate
rock for a cable station. This
is not, however, violating
the terms of it's vassalage
by granting franchise for cable
between the two countries. 1t is
only taking time by the forelock,
to be ready for receiving a cable
whenever the United States allowe
one to come. This object could
hardly be better aimed at than by
the bill in its now amended shape.
Another assertion remains to be
contradicted. Namely, that, while
the President is understood to be
in favor of the measure, the Cab
met is opposed to it. That three
Ministers are opposed to it has been
made plain out of their own
mouths, but the Minister of the
Interior has expressed himself
very forcibly in favor of the fran
chise, as the best cable offer ever
made to this country and as one
whose rejection makes liable a
deprivation indefinitely of the
YEARLY awaited telegraphic con-
nection with the outside world.
The Ministers who oppose the bill
are influenced by the Hawaiian
Minister in Washington, who is
only acting in the case in the in
terests of a rival combination.
There is not one iota of proof ex-
tant = at least, such as any
body has dared to produce
that President Mckinley has
the slightest objection to the
franchise now pending in our
Legislature. The Washington
bugaboo is like the protectorate
bill that our Washington friends

resent as scheme of the United
