This concession il granted will
amount to about $1,000 per annum,
and we would not consider the
amount excessive for the carriage Of
the mail, if it was not fact, that
another bill has been presented in
regard to the registering of vessels
in Hawaii which to all intentional
purpose will prohibit any new
steamship line from being inau-
gurated, and make the present
lines a solid monopoly. The Gov
ernment has to have a certain
revenue We cannot approve OF a
policy which deprives the Treasury
OF $1,000 year for the benefit of
two steamship lines which are max
ing enormous profits, and which de-
prives the Treasury Of deriving an
eventual sure and splendid revenue
by passing the proposed register
ing Of vessels" act for the benefit OF
the two companies aforesaid. If by
such policy an iron-clad monopoly
is not created, we don't know what
monopoly is.

MoNoPoLIES.

We have been pleased to notice
that there is an honest intention
among a number Of our legislators
to oppose any legislation which may
tend to promote monopolies.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-06

We hope that no charters will be
granted which create a monopoly,
and that no concessions will be
given to existing corporations or in
dividuals with monopolistic tenden-
cies. An open competition is the
soul OF commerce.

Well, may Representative Robert
son and some of his colleagues who
support the income tax grow frantic,
when they meet strong opposition
to that fair method of taxation, and
yet every day are confronted by
bills, petitions, resolutions, etc, for
the reduction of direct and indirect
taxes by individuals, corporations,
monopolies and alphabetical institu-
tions.

A few years ago Colonel Zephania
Spalding tried to obtain monopoly
for cable. He failed even in the
Hawaiian Legislature, which now
will be called upon to deal with a
Hartwell monopoly, The country
wants a cable, and if the field is
made free to all, the cable will
come. But if a monopoly is neces-
sary to obtain it, we prefer to go
without it until the day comes when
Hawaii is necessary as a station for
a Pacific cable, and then we will get
it without concessions to any COM
pany.

Have we not monopolies enough?
The telephone. company, the tram
ways company, the electric light
company, the ice works, the rail
roads and the inter-island steamship
companies Are they not monopo-
lies? The Legislature should en-
deavor to break up these monopo-
lies rather than add others to the
number.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-06

Take the inter-island steamship
companies as an example. They
pay, undoubtedly, a big revenue to
the Government in taxes, ETC., but
they also pay phenomenal dividends
and their stocks are quoted at over
so percent above par. Are they
satisfied? Evidently not, according
to the following amendment to the
law relating to the carrying OF
mails by coasting vessels. 1t reads;
"The commanding officers OF
coasting vessels shall receive and
deliver the inter.island mails at the
several ports at which they may
touch in such manner as tho Post

SPLENDID DECORATIONS.
A Grand Display in the Rooms OF the
Pnhlic Schools.

Public Schools.
On invitation Of Professor Reid, prin.
cips of the Athena public school,
Press representative was taken through
the different echool rooms yesterday,
aud saw the beautiful decorations and
drawings that were made expressly for
arbor day exercises. which took place on
Friday last.
In the first room, Miss Ethel G.. Reid,
teacher, are to bs seen some specimens
OF stencil and free-hand drawing.
Around the entire room at the top Of the
blackboards ara beautiful floral designs,
forming splendid decorative border.
There are many colored designs OF differ
ent fl,wers and objects, such as,brownies,
birds, etc. In the center Of the room
stands beautiful fir tree, of which the
little ones are extremely proud
Stepping into the second room most
pleasing sight grests the visitor The
decorations here show to excellent ad.
vantage, and the floral designs are very
realistic and diversified in formation. A
| fir tres and evergreen boughs are also
used in this room for decorative purposes
Miss Brandon is teacher in this room,
aud surely felt proud OF tie beautiful APP
p ,arance OF her room on arbor day.
Miss Wade'6 room, tho third one visit
ed, was also graadly decorated, and the
beautiful borders, embracing so many
elegant designs fairly set the PREss
mans head In whirl whom he thought
of endeavoring to decide which OF the
three rooms visited presented the most
atractiveness He finally gave it up,
and imagining he saw saucy brownie
wink at him, passed into Miss Flory's
room.
Here in connection with countless
floral designs both stencil mud free,hand,
] saw the fret evidence OF scroll work
and specimen lettering. The work IL
superb in every detail, but in this room,
that which took the pencil pusher's eye
was fine cluster OF Irish strawberries
or in other words, potatoes, which look
ed real, AMI good enough to eat. The
coloring is 30 true, and the drawing 80
perfect, that | will only ask for two
guesses as to who the artist was-either
an Irish lad or an Irish lass.
Mrs. Sackett's room shows the result
Of excellent work on her part and by the
older scholars. Hero the splendid work
OF free hand predominates, although the
stencil work is superb also. Some very
fine drawings are to be seen on the front
black board. In the Professors room =
we'll, that's different. This room impress
sed the scribe as being cheerless, very
cheerless when compared with others
just visited. But on reflection, we had
visited just such room years ago on
divers occasions, aud thought it good
enough to recsive strapping In.
