American rule in the Hawaiian Islands was
prosperous as shown by the Government re-
ceipts and expenditures and the account OF
customs receipts for the last six months OF

Department and transmitted to the Treasury
Department The receipts OF the Government
in the islands during the month OF July last
wero S2O7,215 as against S1S470S In the
same month OF last year. The expenditures in
the same mouth were only S172.3S1 for current

Synopsis of His Recommendations
 to the Legislature.
The Message Meets With the Approval of Both Branches of the Legislature. The
 Condition of the Territory.

The message congratnlates the ter ritory on the prosperity of its mining. agricultural and grazing interests. and the valor of her volunteers in the late Spanish- A merican war. and mentions particularly the fact that in proportion to population the response to the call n arms was more quickly given and in greater numbers than by any other state or territory. It refers to this among the deeds which should he re- warded by the boon of statehood.
 It then refers to the duties resting upon the legislature in the amendment of existing and the enactment Of new laws. and calls attention the necessity of economy.
 The assessed valuation of the taxable property Of the territory is given at $3I. .473. 54O6. then follows in detail the rate at which each kind of property was assessed with the following re- marks:
 '.The valuation in some instances is very low and when values are low the rate is of necessity high. believe the system of low valuation and high rates altogether wrong and misleading and in no wise beneficial to the tax payer.
 "The rate of taxation differs in the counties but the average rate through

 The total city and county funded in- debtedness amounts to sl,634, ,O2i.J. The territory still has bonds ourstand- ing hearing higher rate of interest than five per cent. amounting to S2sl.- OOO.

 Unless congress renews the refund- ing act, no more bonds can he sold D take up unpaid warrants since January lst. ls91.
 The Governor proceeds io orecommend that all property subject by law to tax ation should be assessed. He contends that if such were done the people would be subject to less burden of taxation. He points out that the small taxpayers are the ones generally fully assured. He says:
 ''It is frequently stated that mines worth SlO0. .OOO.OOO in Arizona and which pays interest tO their owners on that amount do not pay taxes upon a valuation for all their property real and personal of $2,OOO,C0O. This is wrong and in no way can the propo-
