REIMBURSEMENT
OF TAXATION
Subject Ably Treated By the
Members Of Research
Club.

BY request of many of those present
at the meeting of the Young Mems Re-
search Club at the Young Mems chris
tian Association building last evening, lie
proposed subject of Taxation" was
changed to 1.-THE REIMBURSEMENT OF Tax
ies."- While the audience was small, 1t
was representative one, and each speak
Ier was enthusiastically received.
Mr.. P. l.. Weaver was unable to be
present, so contributed a paper contain
ing hints on taxation on the Islands
which was deeply appreciated. He stated
that before the Organic Act went into
effect the revenue obtained from taxa
ton amounted to $3,954,231, and the ex-
penditure reached the sum of S5,196,5i3,
showing profit to the Treasury of $751;
SIS
This. he claimed was not a healthy
state of affairs, for the profit in the
Treasury must be taken out of the peck
cts of the people. MIR. Weaver urged
greater care in the future and suggested
letting the people bear the burden of tax
alton in proportion to their strength.
w. r. Castle defined taxes an en-
forced contribution for the support of the
Government, and to defray the expenses
of government. He explained at some
length the amount of taxation per cap
tia and the discrepancy between differ
i nt countries.
An interesting paper was read by 1
McCants Stewart, who explained In de
tail the various methods of appeal il
event of over-taxation. Stewart stated
that the general impression mere was
assessments were not uniform, and claim
| ed that the statute must be amended 81
as to provide equality.
| He said it was not fair or just to make
a small portion of the population pa,
for the majority. Stewart quoted large
ly from authorities, and concluded b,
saying that he was in favor of the en-
actment of a law by which all incomes
over $1,000 should be taxed. The JUS
/ tice of the income tax is self-evident,'
said Stewart, "and would be a source O.
great revenue to the Government"
Mr.. Stewards speech was well received
and was Immediately followed by al
| open discussion of the subject in hand.

MANY CHANGES MADE.
1t. Col. French Expected to Visit
This City In April.

| During this week there have been some
very extensive changes made among the
big men of the Salvation Army In the
United States, affecting nearly al the big
divisions, including the Pacific Coast di-
vision, of which the Islands form a part.
Lieut.. Col. William Evans, whose visit
to the Islands a couple of years ago will
doubtless be remembered by many, is
transferred to Boston and placed in
charge of the New England province.
The new commander of the Pacific Coast
province will be Lieut.. Col. French, late
of Chicago, where he commanded the
Northwestern province. The new COM
mander is a most efficient officer with
great organizing and executive ability.
His stay in Chicago has been marked
with all-around advance and great ,htngs
|are expected of him by the Army people
on the Coast. Major Wood has been
given to understand that visit may be
Expected from him in April, and without
doubt the Honolulu corps will extend to
him a hearty welcome.
To show the extensive nature of the
changes it is only necessary to quote a
few. Colonel Sowton of New York goes
TO Chicago, Brigadier Clifford from Phil
adelphia to New York, Lieut.. Col. Cozens
of Boston to Philadelphia. The big
guns of the Army evidently have to
just the same as the lesser officers. Ma
jor Wood gave as reason for this that
the Army had proved that for the prop
er and successful carrying forward of its
work, these periodical changes and the
infusion of new blood and ideas was very
necessary and worked admirably. The
field or corps officers stay in an appoint
ment generally average seven months, a
divisional officer two years and provin-
cial officer three or four years.
! The Major, who has just returned from
a three weeks tour on Maui having
gone around the Island from Lahaina to
Hama, expressed himself as very pleased
| with the work being done. Meetings have
been commenced in several new places
since his last visit, and while in the ISL
i and he opened a new hall in Waihee.
Next month he leaves for a tour on Ka-
uai and will then dedicate and open the
new hall and property in Koloa.

TUSCALOOSA.
City Interested in Locating Dispensary.
 Death of Aged Citizen.

Tuscaloosa, October 24-(SpeciaD-The meeting of the city council the first Wednesday night in November is looked forward to with much interest as at that meeting the council will decide the question of the location of the dispen- sary for next year and will also probably elect an assistant dispenser. The city has three store houses in the city hall but one of these Is leased and the other two stores can be leased to the present tenants at an increased rent for next year. Some of the business men, how. ever, in that section of the town are said to be raising a fund to present the city in order to secure the establishment of the dispensary in one of the city hall store houses. This money will equal full years rent. It is reported that in one other section a location will be offered the city free of rent for the coming year. The question of an assistant dispenser is also eliciting a good deal of inter est, as the position will pay $50 or $6O month. There are already nine or ten avowed candidates for the position, with the list liable to increase before the night of the sixth of November.

PLAGUE IN coNsTANTINoPLE.
Twenty Cases Have Occurred in Spite
 of Preventive Steps.

Washington, October 24.-The United States sanitary commissioner at Con- stantinople has made a report on the plague in that city, which he says has been prevalent since last April He re- ports that twenty cases have occurred, although the local authorities. following the example of the Sultan, have shown much willingness in taking necessary preventive steps. He says the disease has been of a mild type as compared with the epidemic in China and India where the plague death rate reaches 80 per cent and more.
 The Sultan has appointed a sanitary commission of experts, whose instruc- tions immediately on the manifestation of bubonic plague are to take all neces- sary preventive steps without being obliged to report to any official authori- ty whatever. He arraigns the prefecture de la vile for carelessness in many steps, including establishment of hospitals.
 The Ottoman government. because the result could not be obtained in ten years has not accepted the commissioners pro- posal to get rid of the plague by open ing large streets abutting the baolx-to- back houses and improving the sewerage system.
