Conductivity of Lightning Rods.

Some interesting experiments bearing
on the conduCtivity OF lightning con-
ductors have been made by Professor
Koch, as reported in Industries and
Iron. He formed chain several yards
long with links of iron oxide, and
placed it in circuit with the accumu-
lator cells and a galvanometer, the
chain being in room $50 yards from
the galvanometer. When spark was
discharged in the vicinity of the chain,
the deviation of the galvanometer
showed that the resistance Of the circuit
was reiuced to one-thousandth of it's
normal value, and in second expert
ment the resistance fell to one ten
thousandth OF the normal. From these
experiments Professor Koch finds an
explanation why lightning conductors
with poor conduCtivity are nevertheless
effective In thunderstorms. The oscil-
ations produced provoke an enormous
reduction Of resistance at the proper in
slant to facilitate the flow of the cur
rent through the conductor.

ARTESIAN WELLS.

\ recent act passed in the Colony of
New South Wales shows how solicit
tous for the welfare of their people
the Colonial Legislatures are. The
new law is known as the Artesian
Wells Act. BY the act the Govern
ment is empowered. on the applica-
ton of a number of land owners, rep
resenting two-thirds of those who
would he benefited, TO bore an arte-
sian well and to charge the owners
benefited at . rate not exceeding six
per cent on the cost of construction.
The land owners donate a piece of
land for the well or wells and have to
give government officials right of
way.
The object of this law is evident. The
small land owner cannot afford to
sink a well, and even combination
of small land owners cannot afford
the necessary expense, but each can
afford to pay his quota of the six per
cent interest that the government will
charge for sinking the well. There is
no doubt that in the Southern Colo
MES great attention is paid to giving
opportunities to the working classes
and to those who are anxious to build
up homes upon the soil This is a
wise policy. To eXpend government
money upon getting sturdy settlers
upon the land is the best and most
remunerative expenditure that can be

The remarks of the Minister OF Fl
nance against renting the taxes mp
on the Y. NJ. c. \. property show what
firm stand he takes against The
slightest trend towards sectarianism.
The Minister justly recalled the eNpe-
rence of the past when grants of funds
or remission of imposts were made to
sectarian bodies for the distinct pur-
pose of buying votes or of obtaining
an influence both in and out of the
Legislature. 1t is bad plane to put
any religious body on. 1t creates dis
content and rancor, and in however
a specious guise requests of this kind
may appear, and however hard it may
be to refuse them, still they should,
in the interests of the State, be re-

be made they must be made i'm other
directions, and there is no doubt that
considerable economies can be made.
That the government of this coun-
try is expensive there can be no
doubt. The Minister of Finance is
always trying to keep the expenses
down, but there is no doubt that
though in some places the force is in
adequate, there are others where the
force is more than adequate. From
our insular position it is impossible
for us to concentrate our work as il
is concentrated in other places, but
an effort will have to be made to re-
duce our enormous pay roll, and put
our money to better purpose in Inn
provements that win lead to making
wealth for the country.

PROSPECTS.

The recent storm will dig big hole
in the treasury. Estimates vary from
100000 to $15O,0O0. Such estimates
are, as a rule, rather in excess of what
will be the actual cost, but when we
begin to consider the number of brid-
ges washed away, and the amount CT
damage to roads, the lower sum may
very easily be reached. The proba-
bility is that a full list of the damages
with the consequent expense will be
prepared by the Executive and laid
before the Legislature.
Whatever the damages may have
been, the improvements of the coun-
try must not be. nterfered with. The
new roads required on Hawaii and
Maui are vital necessity, and moth
ing must be allowed to delay them in
the least degree. If economies are to

Safe Subjects.

AS Honolulu grows in i'm
pOrtance, more commerce calls
at this port. Only a few days
ago, it was announced that the
steamers Of the Pacific Mail
Company would, in the future,
all call here enroute. Owing
to the prominence given to
the question Of annexing these
Islands to the United States,
the attention OF the whole
world has been called to Haw-
ali, and whether we are annex
ed or not, the strangers com
ing to Hawaii during the com
ing year, will be more than
ever before. While everyone
is glad Of the increased bust
ness it will bring, other things
must not be overlooked. The
rowing element which seek
homes and fortune in a new
country, contain a larger per-
centage Of the criminal class,
and it is only necessary pru-
dence to keep temptation out
of their way. Realizing this,
we have anticipated the de-
mand for Safes, and imported

INCOME TAX.

One conuot clearly see the objec-
tions which so many people have TO
an income tax. All writer's on taxa
ton agree that there is no tax SO
just, and it stands by the law of tax
alton which calls for equality of sac
rifce. Moreover it is a tax which
suit business men. The property tax
is merciless, it takes its pound of
flesh whether the business is doing
well or i'll, whether the merchant is
running his business at a profit or at
a loss, and there always will be bad
years which have to be tided over
The income tax. ON the other hand
asks little when the business is de-
pressed and takes largely at just the
time when the business can best af
for it. "Practically," as Ely says,
before the Baltimore Tax Commits
sion. ut places a heavy burden when
and where there is strength to bear
it and lightens the load in case OF
temporary or permanent weakness. 1t
is thus the fairest tax ever devised
Large property does not always I'M
ply the ability to pay taxes. because
it may be unproductive. If it were
practicable to substitute an income
tax for the whole of the property tax,
it would save many man from bank
ruptcy."
The words are well worth remem-
bering. Professor Ely is "A man of
great mark as political economist,
and has given especial attention to
the subject of taxation in the Ameri-
can states and cities.
The effect of the income tax is di-
rect. 1t especially reaches the profess
sional and wealthy classes. Without
an income tax many people amply alb
le to pay large taxes escape altogeth-
er. Even certain forms of Investment
escape. If | invest $1,000 in a farm,
l at once am taxed upon it; but if l
invest 5000 in a high class education
which enables me to earn an income
three and four times as large as can
be obtained from the farm, ! escape
taxation altogether Now this is en-
tirely unjust, and yet it is the form Of
injustice that people will cling to be
cause they have been accustomed to
it and they fear the income tax as a
sort of Mumbo Jumbo which will
swallow them up.
Despite the objections of the Cabi-
net, and despite the array of foes to
fhe tax elsewhere, the effort to pass
a small income tax will be made at
this session. and from indications
there seems every chance of its being
able to pass both the House and the
Senate. There should also be a tax
commission appointed to report at
the next Legislature. When that
Legislatures meets we will be in
position to completely review our an
tiquated system of taxation, pull down
much that is useless and unjust and
adopt a plan of raising revenue more
in accord with the scientific methods
of modern taxation.
