A BAD SYSTEM.

A BAD SYSTEM.
In the hearing before the board of
equalization Saturday concerning the
taxation of logs in the possession of
the O'Brien Lumber company, Attor.
ney Noffsinger suggested that the tax
alton of logs was, in effect, taxation of
the wages of the loggers; that the
value of the logs on the bank in ex.
cess of their stumpage value merely
represented the value of the labor ex-
pended upon them. Mr.. Noffsinger
was of the opinion that the board of
equalization should be most lenient in
taxing this product of labor and his ar
gument was most reasonable. But,
as observed by Commissioner Greig
at the time, labor is what gives value
to everything except land and it's nat
ural product. Timber upon land has
value, and when that timber is
placed upon the banks of stream, it's
added value represents merely the
labor which has been put upon it.
Unwittingly, perhaps, both Mr.. Noff.
singer and Commissioner Greig EN-.
phasized in their remarks the absur-
dity of the prevailing system of taxa
ton. It is plainly a tax upon industry.
A thousand feet of timber in the tree
is taxed at merely nominal valua.
ton, but the minute a man comes in,
cuts down the tree and puts it where
it is Of commercial value, the tax is
raised.
In the case of the O'Brien Lumber
company the absurdity of the prevail
ing system of taxation is most strik-
ing. This company has invested a
very large amount of money in this
county. It's operations have given an
added value to every foot of timber
and every acre of land in the county.
But every move made by the company
in this direction is discouraged by the
taxing laws. They create a market
for timber and they are taxed for it;
they build an expensive mill and they
are taxed for it; they encourage in
dustry in hundred ways and in
every way they are taxed for it. The
same is true of other industries. Let
a man come in, buy a vacant piece of
land, do nothing with it, hold it for a
few years, double his money and sell
and his taxes have been merely nom.
inal. But let a man come in, buy q
lot, build business block and thus
add to the general wealth and he is
taxed for it. Not only is the value OF
his own real estate raised, but the
value of all the adjoining real estate
is likewise raised, but he is the only
one who suffers materially. Let him
hold his land idle and it will double
in value through absolutely no effort
of his. but let him expend his labor
upon it and every dollar of value Civ
en- in this way is taxed. He may de
nothing and double his money, but the
man who doubles his money by labor
is fined for it.
AS Commissioner Greig observed
labor is what gives value to anything
Except natural opportunities. A va
cant lot will double in value through
no exertion of the owner of it, but
through the exertions of the communi
ty. The prevailing system of taxa
ton works to the detriment of indus
try. The Spectator reaps the reward
and the man who works is punished
Plainly. the situation should be re
versed.

been stated by party who is in a

been entered into which viii! call for

Don't blame any one. 1t is all of us.
We are all willing to be dirty and the
blame lies with us as a community.
There is hope that the new blood
coming into the country will not be

am sure 1t does not require more skill
and knowledge to build a good road

up on our streets.
1t does not require Kahunaism to

BASKET BALL.

The inter-class basket ball tourna-
ment at Oahu College furnished a
bunch of surprises yesterday. The
games we're fast and furious, but the
team work was poor. The first game
was between the juniors and sopho-
mores. At one time the juniors were
five points ahead but the sophomores
braced and made their opponents hus.
tie to maintain their lead. The final
score was: juniors 10. sophomores 10.
The second game furnished a sur
prise. The seniors We're slated to win
with ease from the freshmen. but the
baby class rushed things and dumped
the talent, winning by score OF IL
to 6. The play was very poor and re-
sembled a game of tiddlediwinks more
than II did basket ball.
The juniors and freshmen will bat
tie for the first laurels this afternoon.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-04-11

The Athenians dine late the year
round and, whenever the weather will
permit, in the open air. AS the heated
season advances the dinner hour is set
later and later until in August $50 or
10 becomes the common thing. Fancy
going to the theater after that. Yet
the open air performances are literally
patronized, and they do not begin, OF
course. until after dinner. The legend
Curtain rises promptly at 8" is
snare and delusion, as many for
eigner has 2ound, to his extreme an
noyance.
The out Of door dining and the sky
rooted theaters are so typically Greek
that they serve as link between mod
ern and classical times. The old Greek,
as everybody knows, was an outdoor
man, his house serving as little more
than a sleeping place and storeroom.
The Athenian of today dimes in gar
den, on his terrace or in a park. If he
is too poor to possess any of these ac-
ceSsories, he sets his table upon the
sidewalk. Many of the cheap restau-
rants appropriate the walks for dining
rooms. One is often compelled when
taking an evening stroll to dodge in
and out among dozens of tables cover
ed with reasonably clean linen and
lighted by means of candles, whose
flames are protected from the wind by
means of glass globes.-Scribner'S.

Doctors, cent Nnns.v

The "cat maps" INDUCED in by the
late DIR. William Pepper constituted a
standing joke among his intimate
friends. He had the faculty of going
to sleep at will and waking up when he
willed. He would sometimes when I'M
der n mental strain keep a roomful of
patients waiting while he slept soundly
in his private office for three minutes
or five minutes, or as long as he wish
ed. Then he would resume his duties,
greatly refreshed.
Another prominent physician has n
queer habit of mapping. although he
only takes one day and that directly
after luncheon. which with him is a
hearty meal. He repairs to his office
and throws himself in n chair at
point where the polished wood floor is
not covered by the rug. He holds
bunch of keys between the forefinger
and thumb of his right hand. which is
allowed TO hang loosely over the arm of
the chair. Then he doZes off, but it is
never more than Il doZe, for the mo-
ment his fingers relax the keys drop to
the bare floor, acting as an alarm clock.
1t is scarcely a nap-just brief re-
Taxation of the mental and bodily
faculties. The doctor calls it his siesta,
and if he misses it he says he doesn't
feel quite himself for the rest of the
day.-Philadelphia Record.
