CONGRATULATIONS WITH A MEANING

The attendance and proceedings at the dinner
of the City Club on Thursday evening in celebra-
ton of the recent election, and in honor Of the
fusion forces which won it, were such as to con-
firm public confidence in the success of the
coming administration and in a permanent i'm
provement Of municipal conditions. The spirit
manifested was Identical with that which ami
mated the foes of Tammany throughout the
campaign. There was no symptom of the jeal-
ousies which too often come to the surface
after the stress of conflict is over, any dis
closure of selfish motives with difficulty con-
cealed while the necessity for virtuous profes
sions lasted. On the contrary. a sense of re-
sponsibiiity which victory had only made more
keen was clearly signifed by Mr.. Low and his
future colleagues. and the response to their sig
nifcant utterances was just what it should have
been.
1t is pleasant TO note that Mr. Jerome was
quite as earnest as he was during the campaign
in admonishng his hearers and the better ele
ment' in general that there has been great
neglect of duty and opportunity hsrstofore on

EXPORTS NOT FALLING OFF.

Official returns for October just issued by the
Bureau of Statistics, should prove interesting
reading for those who have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that the nations foreign
commerce is rapidly degenerating. These alarm
lists will in their usual superficial manner dis
cover Immediately that exports were S17,749,222
smaller in value than in the same month last
year which will fully indorse their gloomiest
predictions But it Is more instructive to
anime a little carefully the last monthly
report First, it appears that comparison is be-
ing made with by far the largest months
ports ever recorded and, instead of last months
figures being light, they were only surpassed on
other occasion. December 1900 and then
by insignificant margin of $249, ,4Ol. Hence,
last months statement is phenomenally good. in
spite Of disasters abroad which have affected
certain classes of exports; notwithstanding the
steel strike that has put mills so far behind on
home orders that foreign business is neglected;
in the face of = short corn crop. that advanced
prices to point practically prohibitive for buy
ers abroad, and despite the difference of IL
cents a pound in the cost of cotton, which was
the chief item in the record breaking commerce
of October 1900.
In cotton alone the decrease in value of ex-
ports as compared with the same month last
year, amounts to S13. .S4S, ,469 or about 50 per
cent of the entire loss; than enough to
place the month far above all previous records
in other respects. This heavy decrease was
chiefly due to the fall of 173 per in averag ge
price, the quantity only 90, 900 bales less
and exceeded by large amount every other
month since 1898, when there was a record
breaking movement as to quantity on account of
the low price. In value, however last months

except the corresponding month of 1900. Next

Besides the gratifying outward movement or
merchandise October, 1901, was also note
worthy for liberal imports. Industrial activity
stimulated purchases of raw materials for
manufacture overcrowded domestic steel mills
made necessary an importation of some prod
ucts while exceptional prosperity throughout
the entire country brought in many luxuries
The value of imports in October was $S1, ,411,So
which exceeds every other month under the
present tariff with the single exception OF.
March, 1900. The only other months with
much larger total were the last under the
Wilson tariff. when enormous imports were hur-
ried forward to avoid the higher duties about
to be imposed The movement was especially
heavy at that time in wool and woollens, ana
that industry is only just recovering from the
severe depression caused by the avalanche of
receipts At the present time there is no such
danger as home manufacturing plants are fully
engaged and imports to meet the healthy

THE INCOME TAX.

The fight over the income tax is now
imminent. The question of an income
tax has been before the people of these
Islands for many years. 1t has always
met with opposition, and the opponents
have usually been found among the
ranks of the wealthy. There was
vigorous campaign in the last two
Legislatures, and much learned lore
upon the point was poured out both on
the floor Of the two Houses and in the
columns of the newspapers.
There is a popular idea that an in
come tax is unconstitutional per Sc. This
popular idea, like many popular ideas
is entirely fallacious. The tax. as
tax, is not unconstitutional, but the
the bill for imposing the tax may con-
tain matter which is unconstitutional,
and then of course the whole law goes
by the board.
The chief objection made by the
Supreme Court to the last income tax
bill passed was that it was class leg
islation, inasmuch as it had a graded
list of incomes, the larger the income
the greater percentage II paul lhS
celebrated Federal income tax law was
thrown out by the Supreme Court not
thrown out by the Supreme Court be-
cause it was declared to be direct tax
and as such must, to be constitutional,
be apportioned among the several
states the same as representation.
An income tax is not a popular tax
there is prejudice against it, but at the
same time it is the fairest tax that
there is, several of the States use it.
When people become accustomed to it
and it's workings they cease to object
to it. 1t is an easy tax to tighten a
little, it is very easy tax to increase.
Warned by previous experience. those
who drew up the present income tax
should have avoided the unconstitu-
tional points which appeared in previ-
Gus acts, and there seems every likeli-
hood Of the tax holdin~ If it does, the
returns will probably be much larger
than the calculations of the tax. office
led people to think.

Baron Hoshi, the Japanese statesman
who recently met his death through
the dagger wound of an assassin, was a
man highly thought of by his own i'm
mediate followers, and his obsequies
have been very handsomely carried out.
Hoshi was ambitious and when acting
as minister to Washington he was par
ticularly anxious to make a record with
regard to Hawaiian diplomacy. He
caused the Hawaiian government of
that day a great deal of trouble. All
his ambitions are ended now.

months OF daily caucus which took
place before the regular session opened.
The sixty days caucus produced
nothing. When the party came into
the Legislature not one Of the import
ant bills was ready. The time was
spent in pickering, and the session clos
ed down with nothing accomplished,
save an income tax bill which came
from the minority side of the House,
and the reduction of the tax upon lady
dogs which came from the majority.
No effort was made to pass any appro-
priation bill. That was the end of the
second sixty days.
Then we have had a special session of
sixty days to consider the appropria-
tions only. Besides considering appro-
priations, however, there has been
great deal of hot air let off on a variety
of subjects. But this concluding sixty
days is not calculated to give any con-
fidence in the Legislature, for the time
has been consumed and at the last
there has been a rush to get the items
passed and it even now seems prob
lelnatlcal WneIner the OILS VIII De ready
in time. Now is there any reason to
think that these men will do any better
in a concluding fifteen or thirty days
than they have done in the preceding
one hundred and eighty? Reasoning
from analogy there can be no hope of
Improvement.
Viewed in whatever light we please
the granting of an extra session to
these present legislators would be a
grievous mistake. AS far as revenue
is concerned the Territory can weather
that storm. The figures given from the
Treasury are probably considerably
within rather than over the prospective
real returns. Moreover there are
sources of income which have been lost
sight of. Under any circumstances the
legislature was we'll acquainted with
the Territorial financial conditions and
failed to consider then at it's regular
session.
No extra session should be the watch
word of all who take an interest in the
progress of the Territory. The Legis-
lature has wasted close on to 500 600 in
legislative expenses, don't let us add
to that bill.

Senator Paris resolution asking for a
duty upon coffee in order to protect
Hawaiian coffee is bringing to a prac-
teal issue the ideas which have for
mulated in the press for some time
past. The coffee growing industry pro-
missed at one time to be extremely sue
cessful' and large areas were planted.
But the steady decline in the market,
through the over production of Brazil
has prevented the planters from realiz.
ing profitably, and the consequence is
that the coffee industry has been stead
lily retrograding, till it promises to be
eXtinguished altogether. Senator Paris
resolution will bring the matter before
Congress, and action may be taken to
protect the industry which would then
revive.
