President Pritchell of the Massachu
sets Institute of Technology has been
making calculation as to the future
population of the United States at it's
present rate of increase. Given that in
1900, the population is 77,472,0O0 ten
years advance would put it at 81, 67S, 900.
Fifty years advance will reach $780,
74O 900, one hundred years would see the
population 3S5,S6O,OOO, and in 1900, when
the calculator stops he has reached
4O,S52,273,0OO. Fortunately for the world,
disease and war tend to keep down the
disasters may therefore be really bless
ings in disguise for the human race at
large.

The millennium must certainly be on
it's way hither, coming by way of Maui,
and not as some have believed with
yawning graves and general catacla-
sym. But gently, as a soothing spirit.
Listen! 1t is the flute-like note of the
Maui News and not the blast of
Gabriel's trump:
with the impulse of material devel-
opment which has come to Waikiki, it
is gratifying in the extreme that there
has also come a revival of social inter-
course. Old differences, real or imagin-
airy, have been relegated to the nine
teenth century. Eyes that looked ask
ance now look into eyes and meet an
encouraging smile. Hands formerly
withheld now grasp hands in friendly
greeting, and the people of Wailuku,
forgetting old differences, are uniting
to form a delightful and enjoyable So
ciety worthy of our growing town.
This is quite as it should be- and any
merit which the News may claim for
having directly or indirectly helped to
accomplish this should be its proudest
boast"

The Research Club is to be congratu-
lated on taking up the subject of the
REIMBURSEMENT of taxes and taxation
This is one of the most important sub
jects to come before the Legislature.
This is a peculiarly opportune time for
Hawaii to thoroughly consider the
whole subject of revenue and taxation.
No class of legislation can do as much
harm or as much good to a country or
a community as legislation in regard to
taxation. The subject of taxation is
engaging public and legislative atten-
tion in probably half the states of the
union. A number Of states have lately
appointed commissions to investigate
and report on this subject, among them
Colorado. 1t seems probable that much
of value to Hawaii could be gained
from the reports of these commissions.

The Investigations which The Star
has made regarding the Porto Ricans,
shows very clearly that in coming to
Hawaii the Porto Ricans have vastly
bettered themselves. In a strange coun-
try and exposed to the inconsistencies
which comes to all, they yet express
themselves as satisfied with their life.
Taking the most roseate views of the
wages received in their native land,
which any of them express, it is clear
that they will now receive as their
minimum pay as much as their maxi
mum was in Porto Rico. In other
words, they are beginning here with
large opportunities for improvement,
where they left off in their own coun-
try having reached the end of their
opportunities there.
1t is to be hoped that in the balancing
of advantages the territory will gain
as much from them, as they will from
the territory.

IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS.

Two interesting and important labor
experiments are in progress on the
island of Maui, one being with the
much-advertised Porto Ricans and the
other with the negroes that have just
arrived from Tennessee. In both cases
the experiment is to be rpeated on
larger scale, for already there are about
500 men, women and children on the
way from Porto Rico, and it is said
that Waikiki plantation will take
thousand more negroes, if terms can
be arranged with Colonel Bean, who
brought those now here.
The negroes want betted living than
the other classes of labor They will
not sleep on floors and they want some
chairs and other furniture in their
rooms. They also expect to eat more
meat. 1t is calculated that the Hawai-
ian money wage rate is about equal to
what they receive in the South. where
800 month is about an average, for
the class of people coming here, and
where the workmen have to pay for
rooms fuel, etc. In the south they do
not work all the year round, while in
Hawaii they will be able to keep en-
ployed constantly.
The twenty-one negroes are working
at Waikiki but their wage rate has
not been decided yet They were not
engaged at any definite rate, but were
brought here by Colonel Bean as an
experimnt,, manager Wells speaks well
of them, and has been negotiating for
more.
Colonel Bean, like other investigators
who have been here lately, thinks that
the territory of Hawaii is a splendid
place for workmen of the class now
being brought here 1T is the best la
Dor proposition that ! know of for such
people" he said.
Colonel Bean expects to leave for
home on the China next Friday. He
will probably take with him an order
from the Planters Association for two
or three thousand negroes, for various
plantations.
The advent of the negro adds an
other race to an already large number
of races at work on Maui and makes
Lahaina and Waikiki the homes of a
population of much diversity. Pioneer
plantation has Japanese, Chinese, ma
tives, Portuguese, Porto Ricans TIA
lians. negroes and South Sea Islanders
at work. besides white men of various
nationalities. The Japs are in a majo-
rity numbering about two-thirds of the
total force, but this condition is slowly
changing, and the change is a very well
come one. There is no doubt that many
planters regret the large influz of ia
panese, who have proved very trouble
some lately and anything but indus
trious.

A NIICROCOSNI.

Another steamer line added to those
We already have, is proof of the pro-
gress and development of the territory.
What with the new steamers of the
Oceanic Company, the monster freight
ers of the Hawaiian-American line and
the steamers of the new Seattle line, it
is probable that we have seen pretty
nearly the last of the round the Horn
sailing fleet. Though for a time there
may continue to be some cargoes of
sugar go around the Horn by sailing
vessel, more and more of the crop will
go by steam either to the coast or
through the Straits of Magellan. The
completion of the Nicaragua canal
will completely end the round the Horn
voyages.
Hawaii has seen many changes in
the course of Ocean traffic. In the very
early days there was a considerable
direct trade by sailing vessels with Ma
Mia and Mexico. This trade gave way
in time to the growing trade with San
Francisco and the steamship route from
Hongkong to San Francisco.
In the heyday of the whale fishery
these islands We're the rendezvous of
the whale fleet, and commerce peeu-
liar to this trade grew up that made
many rich, though it has left its effects
and some of them not altogether happy
ones, on the islands.

railway was built, much of the passen-

THE NASH|NGTON DECISION
NO OFFICIAL COPY YET RE-
CEIVED.
1t is cited In Argument Before Judge
Gear-Circuit Courts Need Rules of
Procedure.

The case of Refs VS.. the Oahu Rail-
way Company, an old action tnat was
decided over two years ago, was
brought up again today IN Judge Gears
court by the plaintIit, on a motion Tor
a new trial, based upon the rendering
of a verdict by eIeven jurymen. rom
Fitch appeared for the pIainuff and
made the contention that IN view of
the recent decision of the United States
supreme court that the constitution
applied here during the Transition
PERIOD" the verdict was illegal. Judge
Gear said he would not give any deci-
sion based upon the recent Washington
decision until an official copy of it was
received SO far no copies have been
received here, newspaper reports beng
the only ones avallabe.
Judge Gear, however, declared his
OPINION that the Newlands resolution
itself extended the constitution to Ha-
wall. This is a question that was de-
coed by the COurts of hawaii the
other way. The court minated it's
readiness to uphold the contention that
the constitution was in effect and that
Nvlulv,s UusnC to nave been by twelve
jurors ever since the passage of the
Newlands resolution, but the defend
ants raised the point that a motion for
a new trial made about two years ago
upon new grounds.
Hatch and Fitch argued over the
point for some time, and it was taken
under advisement. The fact that the
circuit courts are without rules of pro-
cedure except those of the Republic of
hawaii, which are of doubtful applica-
ton, was brought out Judge Gear
said that some of the circuit judges
had discussed the matter of forming
Inn
so yet. He hoped they would adopt
rules.
The motion will be decided when the
supreme court decision arrives from
Washington, and the court has reached
conclusion on the points regarding
revival of the motion for a new trial
Judge Gears order has been filed al
lowing the Carter minors an increase
of allowance to $3.50 a month each.
United States Judge Estee this morn
ing adjourned court till Monday, there
being no business before the court.

THE HOUSE GIFTS THROUGH
MEMBERS DIsGUSTED WITH THE
SENATE.
The Current Expenses Bill Passes THIRD
Reading and Senator's Action is Now
Waited For.

The House finished it's work this
morning, except as the Senate may
force it to go over the work again I'm
til the senate does something there is
now nothing before the house except
letter from Superintendent of Public
Works Boyd, regarding an appropria-
ton for the draining of Kewalo. This
was lost in some way until too late for
an item to be inserted.
The current expense bill passed
third reading, and then Boyd's letter
was read. 1t asked for 1926 600 TO drain
KewalO, but as the bill was passed it
was too late to insert any new items.
Some of the members Contended that
the item was already in the bill, others
claiming that was not and a recess was
taken till two o'clock this afternoon, be-
fore the matter was decided
There is great disgust in the house
at the action of the senate yesterday in
tabling the house salaries bill, upon
which over a months work was eN
pended. The Home Rulers are discour-
aged at the divisions shown in their
own party, and the Republicans and
Home Rulers who have ceased to follow
the Mossman-P rendergast banner are
discouraged at the poor prospect of
finishing and going home.
One of the most disguised men is Ma
kekau, who began as a warm Home
Ruler. He says the Home Rulers in the
Senate and those in the house are fight
| ing like two different parties, and that
| it is not much use to try to do anything
now. I'VE worked a long time to pass
a bill and then when we passed it they
/ laid it on the table without any discus
| sion, and started to raise salaries" said
| Makekau sorrowfully, adding that the
Senate Home Rule leaders were res
! ponsble.
The senate has also deeply offended
|
by putting appropriations back to the
governors estimate figures. "If we
wanted to pass bill like that" said
| one member. I'VE could have got
| through in a few days. We might just
as well have taken the estimates and
! put them in a bill and that would have
settled the matter. The senate makes
cuts on two readings and raises sala-
! ries on the third. The house has done
| it's duty now. 1t has passed both APP
preparation bills and is waiting for the
senate"

TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES
THE HOUSE JOURNAL \ VERY BIG
BOOK.
over Three Hundred Thousand Words
In the Record of Clerk Meheula.
Calf Bound Copies for Mckinley.

Work has been begun on the house
journal. 1t VIII be very large book,
though stenographer Avery's notes are
not to be included in it. 1t is estimat-
ed that it will make a book of 1850
pages, about the size of the ordinary
law book. This will mean a book about
three inches thick which President Nc
Kinley may read with delight when ii
gets to Washington.
The pages of the Journal average
about $50 words a page. This means a
story of 81 800 words. Tie senate will
have another journal not quite so large.
In each case all the minutes are in
cluded as they stand approved.
The house has decided that the copies
of it's journal to be sent to the presi-
dent shall be bouL,. in calf, like ordinary
law books. Other copies will be more
cheaply bound. They will be useful re-
ference books for many people.
The work of preparing the house jour-
nal is being done by clerk Meheula, as
sisted by Avery. The printing has on
ly just begun, and several months may
be required to complete the job.
The minutes contain records of every
motion made and every vote taken, with
the ayes and noes where ayes and noes
were taken. Discussions, etc, are left
out, the only records of them being in
the stenOgrapher' records OF the two
houses.
