DICKEY'S INCOME
TAX MEASURE
A Mechanic Protests Against
the Minimum Figures
Set Down.
Hamakua, March %, 1901

Hamakua, March o. 1901.
Editor Advertiser have noticed
Dickey's bill for a two per cent income
tax upon all incomes above $1,000, and
I consider it the worst measure that
has ever come before the Legislature.
Does not Mr.. Dickey know that this
bill will strike the mechanics and the
poorer class of the white people with
the greatest force? Does he not know
that it takes every dollar of this 900
to keep white family in food and
clothes, and they can barely live in a
decent manner then? Is he eager to
cut away every thought of ambition
of the working class and to spread in
it's place squalid poverty, misery, and
crime? Is Mr.. Dickey eager to pose
as the evil genii of this present Legis-
lature-as a man devoid of a true
knowledge of the true ends of legisla-
ton?
Is Mr.. Dickey ambitious to go down
in history as a man devoid OF sympathy
to that great class who more than. any
other bears the burden and heat of the
day, ana to whom the nation looks,
more than to any other class, when in
her dire necessity? Does not Mr.. Dick
ey know that the true end or 1egisla-
ton is to produce equality among it's
people, and not to make laws which
will gorge the rich and impoverish the
poor? We are of the opinion that if
any such law is necessary. $4,000 is
even too low, to say nothing of $1,000. L
remain, yours truly, MECHANIC.

Also Kicks at Music.

We don't remember the name of the
Hawaiian philanthroprst who has in
troduced bill providing for a con-
servatory of music in Hilo. Verify we
shall feel obliged to look 1t up and
see that grateful town ipscribes it
on tablet of brass and puts 1t in a
public place. The jealousy that will be
caused in Honolulu by the establish
ment OF such an institution would be
well worth the cost of the tablet. Hilo
would indeed be well on the way to
become the Boston of the Pacific. Out
side of the purely sentimental and am
bilious features of the case we can
not say that a conservatory of music
is particularly needed. There is too
much singing here as it Is, especially
on Saturday nights. and in an instru-
mental way Klondike Dan supplies our
every want. We need new water pipes,
wider streets and a recorders office a
vast deal more than we need a con-
of music. We, that Is most
of US, are destined to spend all our
time in the next world drumming
