lations OF capital were much greater
over there, and for long time the re-
sources OF the colony were developed
much faster than those OF the territory.
All this was despite the fact that the
settlers of Washington were the more
energetic and enterprising. worked
harder and were more thrifty.
The change came when British Co
lumbia entered the Dominion. and for
the first time took on a share of the
burdens OF federal government, surren-
dered its previously used sources Of
revenue. and came under tariff sys-
TEN designed for the benefit OF Eastern
Canada; while Washington. by admis-
sion into the Union, acquired the ad-
vantages OF state government, bringing
with II no increased burdens OF federal
taxation beyond those which It already
had had to bear. From that time for
ward, as conditions were reversed,
Washington's advantages Of superior
resources and superior enterprise and
energy had chance TO tell, and Wash
fngton soon left British Columbia far
IN the rear.
Having had this object lesson fairly
before their eyes. the older settlers OF
Washington know that the colonial sys-
tenn OF safeguarding colonies, having
their own revenues and their own lands
to dispose Of. is. for the people OF a
new possession. fairer and better than
the territorial system; and that those
who advocate permanent extension OF
the constitution. the federal system OF
taxation and the territorial form OF gov
eminent over our new possessions. are
advocating system which, without
statehood and full citizenship in view,
would inevitably breed discomfort and
encourage revolt.

has agreed to report a bill for the lay
ing Of a Pacific cable to Honolulu only.
1t Is said that the purpose is to extend

before work on the extension is begun
1t might be well to take note of the en-
cheering fact that a cable can be built
from San Francisco to Honolulu and
from Puget sound to China by the way
Of Dutch harbor for less than single
