WARNING GUNS. ?

The preparations for a. vigorous cam
paign are pretty nearly completed. All
parties have prepared their line, and
we may look for vigorous work There
is far more earnestness than was
shown two years ago, and the fight for
supremacy will be very much more
carefully conducted than it was at
that time. Men of ali classes have
learned a bitter lesson, and they more
fully recognize the necessity of work
before the election. They realize that
the work must be done before election
and that it is hopeless to attempt any
thing after,
In 1900 fairish fight was put up for
the delegateship. 1t was, however no
fight to "A finish. 1t might have been
a very much stronger fight. The ma
jOrity which seated Robert Wilcox in
the place was after all only a narrow
one, just a little over zoo in a vote OF
over 5000. 1t was no sweeping victory,
though it was herdlded as such More
thorough work could have easily over
turned that narrow majority into de-
feat for the Home Ruler and into vic
tory for the Republican,
Out of evil cdtheth good, out of the
strong, sweetnesfn..A panty may learn
more from defeat than ever it can
gain from victory. We now know the
value of the Delegate in Congress far
better than We did two years ago, We
have learned, and the Hawaiian voter
has learned that the man who repre-
sents the Territory in Washington
must be an able man and not an in
competent idler, The position OF Dele
gate calls for work, and work of the
hardest kind. The Delegate has to
represent the whole Territory and not
one section of it, The Delegate must
be diplomatic and must win friends
both in Congress and in the Admins
tration. He must work with and
through the party in power His in
formation upon the resources and
needs Of the Territory must be broad
and thorough. such is the man that

such a man, it may expect to obtain
what it wants and what it urgently

Nothing shows the necessity of eX-
tending tn saloon limits more than the
amount of Illicit liquor selling. When

practically with the Illicit selling are
fully convinced of this. Many a man

nizes, as soon as he Is Sheriff or Dep
uty Sheriff, that there are two sides to

THE INCOME TAX.

The Income Tax, which passed the
last legislature, is once more to be at
tackled 1t has been held to be con-
stitutional, but Tom Fitch feels that he
can break the law, and is willing to
make fight for it upon a contingent
fee. 1t has always been a measure
which has been earnestly fought
Twice it has passed the legislature and
twice it was SO drawn that it would
not hold water. The last legislature
passed an act which did hold water
and taxes were collected under it.. 1t
is possible that there is some flaw in
il. Tom Fitch Seems to be certain
that there Is a good fighting chance,
and others think that the tax will be
regarded by the Supreme Court of the
United states as Unconstitutional with
out the shadow of 4 doubt
The Income Tax here has always
had strong advocates upon the ground
that a large humber Of people, espe-
cially professional people escaped tax
alton. A man making $4,000 a year
from his profession, might have a
small amount to pay upon his furni-
ture and his, horses and carriage but
II he lived in q hired house, and own
ed no real estate he escaped with very
little taxation indeed. The dispropor-
ton between his, taxes and the taxes
paid by the poor man who had an in
come of from$2oO to $3.50 a year was
clearly shown and strongly comment
ed upon. The tax certainly last year
reached a number of people who had
never been properly reached before.
Taxes, however, which cause a large
amount of friction are to be deprecat-
ed, even if there is no constitutional
object to them. 1t is one of the fun
damental rules of taxation that taxes
should be such as can be easily and
economically collected, and such as
cause the least amount of friction in
the collection. If tax is objection
able to the whole community, some
other plan should be sought for raising
the necessary funds for carrying on
the work of government.
1t is no use now going into the argu-
ments which have been used in passing
the Income Tax bill through the Iegls-
lature That the reasons were cogent
is proved by the fact that it passed
such a legislature as the last. 1t was
carried in a House and a Senate which
was intensely opposed to the Governor
and the Territorial government. The
question now stands on an entirely diff
ferent basis If the Supreme Court Of
the United Statestdeul8res II unconsti-
tutional, that ends the ma tier once
and for all If the same court does not
find it unconstitutional the DIRECTORS
will have to fight the matter once more
in the Legislature, and the arguments
already urged III IFS, favor can be
brought once more to, bear. ii must
be remembered that the Supreme Court
of the United States has never decIar-
ed a state or territorial Income Tax I'M
constitutional, 1T has pronounced as
unconstitutional the, particular federal
income tax law which was brought be-
fore it.

Wray Taylors idea that essays upon

no means a bad one. Unfortunately
the fair comes during the vacation,

tunity of visiting the mainland, or the
other islands. There ought to be COM
petitors however, among those who
have elected to stay at home.

is really not a true cry. 1t is union of
parties to send a man to Congress who
viii truly represent the Territory, who
understands the needs of the Terri
tory, and who will work for the Terri
tory, that is the true cry. Wilcox is
but a feather weight in the matter.
and the utter incompetence of Wilcox
is now discovered. He and his gang
have been clearly shown to be COM
pletely self-seekng and selfish and un-
able to grasp the situation, and view
it from broad standpoint. 1t is not
anything to beat Wilcox, the man, but
it is dire necessity to beat the lack of
policy, the childishness the incompe~
which he would perpetuate. The cam
paign is not a personal one, it is a
campaign of principle.
Who cares for the personality of Will
cox. No one. But the Territory at
large does want the sound principles
of an earnest and faithful public SER
want in its Delegate at Washington.
1t does not want a time-server a fifth
class politician or an ignoramus to rep
resent it.
Nothing has done more to injure the
Hawaiian in the eyes of American
statesmen than the election of such q
Delegate as was elected to the fifty
seventh Congress and such a legisla-
ture as disgraced the capitol building
in 1901. This is realized by the young
Hawaiian party. 1t is not that the
Hawaiian is incapable. Those who
have lived with the Hawaiian for the
greater part of a life time, or who
have been brought up in Intimate con-
tact from childhood, know great deal
better. But it is that the men who
were put up to represent the Hawaii
an, utterly misrepresented him, and
made him look like child, thinking of
only childish things.
This election will remedy this, if not
completely, at all events in a great
measure. The misfortune of the error
of 1900, however, is that an impression
once made is hard to eradicate. The
first election for the Territory of Ha-
wall made an extremely bad impress
sion. 1t was the more so because there
was every reason to think that it
would be different. The disappoint-
ment of the friends of Hawaii in Con-
gress was keen. When the actions of
the legislature came to be understood
and appreciated the disappointment
was still keener.
There is, however, very evident de-
termination that this coming election
is going to show that the Hawaiian
voter is not the unthinking creature
which tie present Delegate and his fol-
lowers msrepresent him to be. The
position is far better understood than
it was two years ago. The illustra-
lions can now be drawn from fact and
not from theory. There is nothing
which can be more cogently used in
argument than fact. An ounce of fact
is worth half a ton of theory any day.
Certainly we can go into this cam
paign with far greater hopes, with
nobler aspirations than we did two
years ago. There will be general inn
provement among all the parties, and
there will be increased strength among
the Republican party.
