HAWAII HAS AN INCOME TAX.
Two Per Cent Collected ON All Earnings
Over $1,000 n Year.

San Francisco. Aug. 19.-John Emme-
luth, leader of the Hawaiian home rule
party, is here on his way to his old
home in Cincinnati. where he will make
a short visit. In an interview, he said /:
I'VE want a regular territorial county
government, which will induce white
people to come and settle among us
with the knowledge that they Will be
protected in their liberties and their
rights.
Il am chairman of the tax commits
sion, the legality Of which body is now
a matter of contention. The present
system of taxation is based on real es-
tate and improved property and every
sugar plantation is assessed on it's ac-
tual cash value. There is also an in
come tax Of per cent on all incomes
over $1,000. This system needs much
remodeling and many amendments, and
it is for the purpose of inaugurating
these reforms that the commission has
been created"

SAYS STRIKE IS LOST,

Struggle.

Iron Reviews Views of the Great stce.
Struggle.
Cleveland, O., Aug. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review, discussing market and
strike conditions this week, says:
Events Of the week have made it
clear that the steel strike is lost fight.
The uncertain elements are the num-
Der Of weeks that will be required to
weary the men of idleness, and how
much of it's organization will remain to
the Amalgamated association when thu
end comes. The failure of the FEEDER
alton of Labor to give more than SYM
pathy in aid Of the strikers and the
refusal of western members Of the
Amalgamated association to violate
their contracts at the order of their
president have been serious blows TIC
the hopes of the leaders. Gains have
been made by the strikers at McKees-
port and in the Wheeling district. but
it is already plain that the strike spirit
has reached high mark, and that the
news from now on will be of gradual
OBJECTIONS.
1T appears now that the action OF
President Shaffer in signing an agree
ment at New York, which he and his
associates failed to carry out, was one
occasion of the western detection and
has caused discomfort in other direc-
tons that may bring early breaks IN
the strikers ranks
1.-THE stoppages of the week hal.
been at plants of the National Steel
company and the National Tube com.
pany. Production of steel is consider
ably curtailed. At Wheeling the fin.
fishing mills are also idle, and at Nc
Keesport the butt and lap weld depart
ments were closed Wednesday, Bel
laire, Mingo Junction and Newcastle
steel plants Of the National Steel COM
pany are idle. but shipments of Bes
semer iron are still taken by the United
States Steel corporation with some
changes in the destination of the metal
Little Bessemer iron has been pur-
chased for September delivery. Should
the present status continue into that
month merchant furnaces in the valley
would be under the necessity Of piling
iron or banking. The threatened strike
of valley furnace workers has not come
the leaders probably coming to an APP
probation of the little effect it would
have upon the strike under existing
conditions.
"As matters stand the production OF
steel is now closely adjusted to the re-
quirements Of the trade and pig iron
production is more nearly in line with
steel works consumption. The advances
in price that have come in the week
are in muck, bars, skelp, sheets, tin
plate, bars and billets. ,Importations
of black plates have already been made
and it Is understood that the tin house
workers of the American Tin Plate
company will not refuse to dip them. "

MORE YANKEE THAN BRITISH.
Shamrock II Closely Rescmbles I.gst
Years Gun Detcpder.

Years Cup Defender.
New York, Aug 19-Shamrocls H.
went into dry dock yesterday and
American experts had their first chance
to study her lines. AS q matter of in
terest, it is worth noting that not only
is the model of the new Shamrock
Yankee" but nearly all the wrinkles
n the rig and blocks have been derived
from American sources. The sails are
American cotton duck; the .nainsail
laced to the boom. Il recent concession
to American methods. II is matter OF
fact that Shamrock II. has more Amer
lean wrinkles" in hull, spars, sails and
rigging than are Indigenous to Great
Britain. She Is more than two-thirdS
Yankee"
The cup challenger resembles the Co
lumbia very much SO far as her under
body and fin arrangement. That the
Shamrock is dangerous opponent was
conceded by the experts who saw her
FROM her easy entrance forward to her
clean run aft there is power and speed
in every line. All the curves are true
and easy and there is nothing crude or
coarse In any of them. Mr.. Watson
evidently took the cutter Britannia. his
best all-around boat, as the basis of his
model. In improving upon the Britain
MIA, Mr.. Watson evidently had the Co.
lumbia in his eye, for the mid section
of the Shamrock II. is the practically
that OF the conQuerOr of Shamrock /.
This fact was pointed out by experts as
showing how yacht designers on each
side of the Atlantic have been converg-
ing along the same lines to such an cx-
tent that practically they have come
together, and there is no marked differ
ence in types such IS existed in the Ga V
of the Puritan Genesta contest
1t would be hard to distinguish be-
tween the Columbia and the challenger,
so far as their underhodies are cor
cerned Their fins are practically alike.
The Shamrock II. is a more graceful
craft. The beauty and cleanness of the
run and the sharpness of the forepart
of the fin are the principal points of
the new Shamrock. When the larger
sail plan is taken into consideration
she must be adjudged to be an oppo-
nent worthy to be met. With a foot
less beam than that of the Constitution
and a slightly larger sail plan she is
an ideal fine weather boat, well adapted
to meet the usual run of early autumn
breezes off Sandy Hook However that,
the Americas cup is in danger OF being
lifted by Sir Thomas Upton this year
is by no means the opinion of conserva-
tive yachtsmen who have looked upon
the Shamrock Ii. That she has intrin-
sic merit and will doubtless be hard to
beat was admitted, but everything
about her hull that is meritorious has
been gathered from American sources

RAILROADS VALUED AT $4,000, ooe
South Dakota Board OF Equalization
Raises the Assessment &18i.

Pierre. S. D., Aug. 1.-THE total rail-
road valuation of the state as equalized
by the state board is ST., 1926, 003, which
is an Increase of 1854 over. the
valuation of the roads last year. This
increase is practically all represented
by new mileage, as the other changes
In valuation were very Slight and the
increase where 1t was made was prac-
t1cally balanced by the slight reduc-
tons on branches.
The roads are subject to local taxa
ton by counties and as the average
rate over the state last year was %
mills on the dollar and will probably
be about the same this year, the total
taxes paid by railroads will not be far
below 100000.
At the average rate of taxation the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul will
be called upon to pay nearly SIPS, 900;
the Chicago & Northwestern over $75-
600, and the Great Northern nearly
100000. The balance will be made up
by the smaller roads and terminals in
the state. The smallest tax will be
paid by the Forest City & Gettysburg
road, which at the average rate would
pay $780,

An Americas officer who has just re.
turned from Cuba says that the politi-
cal parties of that island have the pro-
pensities Of all the Latin races. That
Is, they cannot have a two-sided fight,
but, instead divide up into three or
four factions. Thus in Havana there
are four parties, each with different
shade of principles and u different
leader. Among Latin races, as l have
studied them in South America, it APP
pears to be a question Of leaders more
than of principles. A new man comes
to the front, with an engaging per-
gonality, proclaims himself leader and
n man of destiny, and the crowd falls in
behind him. The idea Of a battle Of
principles or OF issues as brought to
them from the United States is new to
the Cubans. and ! believe it will take
them many years to accustom them
selves to it."
