in an intelligent manner with the
important questions OF the day. We
wish our readers and all taxpayers
to carefully observe the manner in
which the governor settles the tax
question:
The Legislature OF 1898 made
provision for the appointment Of q
Commission OF three persona to in
yestigate the subject of taxation
aud report at the succeeding session.
Mr.. William r. Castle of Honolulu,
Mr. Henry p. Baldwin OF Maui and
Mr.. Alexander 6, NJ Robertson of
Honolulu were appointed on this
Commission. Considerable prelim-
mary work was done, but the
failure OF a regular session in 1900
together with the long continued
uncertainty as to the time when
legislature would sit, led to cessa-
tion of the work of the Commission.
just before the election of last
November, Mr.. Baldwin aud Mr..
Robertson who had decided to be-
come candidates for election to the
Legislature, resigned from the
Commission.

This is an enterprise requiring for

will arise in the consideration of
such legislation that are difficult of

ture to do. We have not yet got an
X Ray in our Office or speechless
telegraph connected with the empti-
ness of the Governors brain box,

Mr.. Robertson will not call upon

THE GOVERNORS EssAGE.

Governor Dole of this Territory
has never been admired by those
who know him, for his brilliancy,
while none Of his best friends has
ever denied his success in making a
political fool of himself with or
without salary. The message
which he sent to our first Legisla-
ture on Saturday was, however, even
a surprise to the men who know
him at his best and at his worst.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-25

The Governor also states that
with our present surplus and the
monthly revenues from other
sources the government will be out
of funds" And yet this pet of the
missionaries, who have billion
with which to bribe Congress, i'm !.
pudently ADVISES increases in sala,.
les in Offices and wholly forgets
the day in June 10 1884, when he,
representing a 'loyal" opposition,
thanked King Kalakaus for. in a
royal message. urging the Legisla-
turs to economize.

Words like those have come from
those who admired the late Ali,
and who are still mourning her
death and the fate OF her country.
But any legislator would be justi-
fed in denouncing the hypocrite
who sent those words in an official
document. Dole, the arch h-conspira-
tor against Hawaiian independence,
the traitor who, while a Justice of
the Supreme Court, violated his
oath to the Aliis and foreswore his
honor, his manhood and his duty
dares to approach this Legislature
with cant and crocodile tears visi-
bic in such paragraph. His lack
OF tact has again been proven by his
reference to the young princess.
Hawaii will mourn for their dead
Aliis, for their buried flag and for
the independence of their country
without any message" from the
man, who today stands in his glory
as the spoiler and destroyer OF all
which was dear to them.

excellent document, because it deals
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-25

His message shows not alone his
imbscility, but it supports the ac-
cusations, often made against him,
OF his being time-server and yet a
very poor politician. He dared in
his Message to the Legislature to
use the following words:
Public feeling was deeply aroused
by the death of Princess Kaiulani
Her beauty and charm, the roman
tic incidents of her short life in con-
nection with her brilliant political
prospects as heiress presumptive to
the Hawaiian throne, and their
Illustration by no fault of hers, her
brave acceptance Of the new and
difficult situation, and the tact and
sincerity she displayed in her chang
ed relations with the Government
and the people, had won for her q
widespread interest and the respect
and regard of'the community. Her
sudden death coming when she had
vindlcated her superiority to cir
cumstsnces and'had with sweetness
and gentieness turned her feet to
the humber life, feeling that the
best things were still hers to live
for, and people were past recogniz-
ing her nobility OF character, was
most pathetic and at the same time
most favorable to the permanence
of tender and affectionate memories
OF her life and personal qualities.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-25

themY Should the whole area OF the
territory be occupied by such gov
ernments, or should experiments be
made in one or two localities before
going further? What will be the
approximate burden OF the aggre-
gate taxation of the city or county
and the territory on the tax psyer3
How will the small proprietor be
affected by such combined taxation,
aud by the probable greater strin-
gency of municipal reguationsY
These questions are better answered
before than after the character OF
such corporations is fually settled.
Probably the most satisfactory
method OF comforting such privileges
is by means Of a general statute,
stating the conditions precedent to
the establishment Of such govern
ments, aud the principles aud limit
ations to be recognized in their
organization, under which any COM
munity within the conditions may
proceed to acquire corporate exis-
tence whenever it ehall 80 desire.
Should the Legislature fnd itself
unable, at this session, to agree
upon satisfactory legislation in this
matter, it would dobutless facilitate
the progress of the work in the
future if it should make provision
for the appointment and adequate
pay of com mission of several per-
sons to prepare a general scheme for
both county and city government
and report to the next regular seq,
sion of the Legislature.
The flushing words of the me.
sage is very interesting. The Govern
or spring the following impudent
advice on the Legislatures:
This past with its records OF suc-
cess and failure cannot be changed.
You may 60 to it for lessons but
yours work is for the future. You
can hardly fail in your legislative
procedure to make important prece-
denis. II is in your power to create

about the first legislature of the
territory of Hawaii, the fret Ha-
waiian legislature of the twentieth
century, their verdict of your work
will be such as you now lay the
foundations for.
The Legislature has already eatab
lished one important precedent"
and that was when it hoisted the
Secretary OF the Territory out OF its
hall and refuaed to permit the
Governor and his "Cabiuet" to in
terfere with its proceeding. 'i
The message, as a whole, is weak
obtuse and poorly drafted. 1t shows
plainly that the sender of it does
not understand yet tha. the people,
not the family compact, is running

While the governor does not
make any suggestion in regard to
taxation he is of course ready to
borrow money and says: H.,
This reduction of revenues makes
it necessary that q considerable sum
of money should be borrowed for
public improvements.
The report on the financial re-
quirements for the coming period,
contain statements Of estimates OF
the Government income for 1901
both by the Treas urer and the Audit"
or-the total estimate of the form
or being $2,3l4,000, and that of the
latter, S2,175, $50 These estimates
assure the government sufficient
funds for the satisfactory conduct
of the affairs OF the Territory, ex.
cepting in the matter Of public im-
provements, unless some unforeseen
public misfortune should occur call
ing for large expenditures.
AS the authority of the Territory
to incur Indebtedness is limited and
finally subject TO the approval OF
the President it is desirable that
the Legislature should study the
question of increasing the current
revenues by methods which will
distributs the burden Of taxation as
fairly as possible and gradually re-
duee the necessity OF borrowing
money for public improvements.
The provision of the Territorial
Aot,-section SO, relating to loans,
limit the amount of indebtedness
that may bs incurred in any one
year by the Territory, to one per
centum upon the assessed value of
the taxable property of the Terri
tory as shown by the Last general
assessment. The assessmentfor the
year 1900 showed a total valuation
OF $97 ,49l l,584; consequently the in
debtedness that may be incurred in
the first year Of the next biennial
period ie S974,915.84, and the same
same amount or more for the second
year. The total loan suggested in
the Estimates is 81 ,946,900, one-half
OF which may be incurred in each
year of the coming period. $"
The message announces that the
unfortunate class, confined for the
public safety in the settlements Of
Kalaupapa aud Kalawao, it is
satisfaction to be able to report
that their condition as to their sur
roundings and the comforts of life
is improving from year to year. 1t
is probable that more can be done
to alleviate the hardships of their
situation. Legislation providing
for appeals from the decisions Of.
the District Magistrate whose juris-
diction includes the settlement,
would doubtless add to the content
Of that community. Such appeals,
except upon points of law, should
be heard in the settlement. Any
other arrangement would seem to
be impracticable under the circum-
stances. 1t is to be hoped that the
Legislature will during this session
send committee of its members to
visit the settlement aud report on
its condition.

Governor suggests that about half

mysterious source will be available

and homes, and we ask Secretary
Cooper to take a chair in the Leg is.
lature, and as one Of Mr.. Dole's
henchmen explain the meaning of
the paragraph in the message re.
ferring to the settlement of the fire
claims as being OF "the nature of
government bounty"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-25

The fire claims of those who
suffered through the wanton de-
struction of property during the
alleged plague is dealt with as fol-
lows:
The matter of awarding damages
is one of such difficulty and delica-
cy that provision should be made
for the establishment OF court or
commission composed of persons of
integrity and conservative judgment
for this work.
The project of recognizing these
in damages being one OF govern
ment bounty rather than of legal
requirement, the Legislature is not
called upon to impede the progress
of the country in its treatment of
the subject, but simply to extend
reasonable and approximate relief
to the innocent sufferers in this
great disaster.
Although the estimates cover an
aggregate amount near to the limit
"a piOSPOOG'NO iON0uutby ldTR6
part Of the item for interest on gov
ernment Indebtedness will probably
not be required, as the Federal
Government may be expected to
carry out the provision of the joint
resolution Of annexation assuming
the paym of interest on four
million dollars of the indebtedness
OF the Republic of Hawaii. This
reduction of that item will amount
to 1881, 726 SO. For the same reason
the interest paid by the Territorial
government since the 18th day of
June, 1900, in this account, may be
expected to be refunded by the
Federal Government. This amounts
to S106,069.44. There will therefore
be saving in the estimates of
$487, ,796 40, which will be available
toward the settlement OF fire claims.

CHEROKEE CITIZENSHIP

single thing connected with the
Cherokee tribal government Il the
question Of citizenship. Under
our tribal autonomy the term
citizen defines the status Of those
who will share in the final allOl-
ment Of lands belonging to the
tribe, and in the common
funds belonging to it when the d.
vision comes. It's also used TO
designate those who have enjoyed
the privileges accruing heretofore
to the Cherokee Indians.

rejected it on general principles
There is nothing to cause a change
Of sentiment in its favor, and DC
such change will come. To say
that no more agreements will be
attempted if this one fails is non-
sense, and the threat to enforce
the Curtis Jaw, that Legislative
bastard that has already been in
force over this country nearly
three years is a piece Of folly.
The Cherokees will never yield up
wilhOu, compensation so many
property rights as are asked for In
the agreement. The members Of

amending the treaty know fuilwell
the reasons for its rejection 6y the
