tive statesmen, who have never taken kindly
to the vagaries of extreme Cobdenism are
highly gratified. and are declaring that this tax
will never be repealed with their consent.
Englishmen are fancy, beginning TO get
tired of the class taxation imposed upon them
by the CObdenite school. It has always seemed
to be one of the gravest defects of the sO-called
free trade system that its burdens are unequal
~ imposed upon the people. Certain sources
of revenue arc worked for all they worth
indeed, they are overworked, to the grievOus
oppression of certain classes of the people
while Others just as legitimate, are wholly neg
lected. There is no equity in taxing tea and
coffee to the very limit and letting corn and
wheat go free. There is no justice in weight
ing down the income tax TO the breaking ONT
and at the same time letting commerce go I'M
taxed. Doubtless II would be happy state Of
affairs If all taxation could be abolished. Until
that millennial epoch dawns upon us, however,
the rational and equitable system is one that
distributes the burden of taxation as widely
and as generally as possible, making all classes
Of the population bear it in due proportion to
their ability. That is what is being effected in
England with this registration tax and in other
features of the reaction against Cobdenism, and
it is something that will benefit the people and
will commend to popular support and favor the
statesmen responsible for ii.

BRITISH CORN LAWS.

WANTS
THE TRANSPORTS
WANTS TO DO THE FEDERAL
BUSINESS BETWEEN THE MAIN
LAND AND THE PHILIPPINES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-The bid
of the Boston Transportation Co., for
the transportation of troops, officers
and supplies from Seattle to the Phi
lippines is acting as a challenge to all
San Franciscans who are interested in
the commercial welfare of their city.
Seattle is evidently making an immense
effort to secure all the transportation
work of the army, endeavoring to
eclipse San Francisco, which by geogra-
phical position, size, wealth and ad-
vantages should be the natural depot
for troops passing to and from the
Philippines.
Ever since the acquisition of the
Philippines in the summer of 1898 near
ly all the troops and supplies have been
shipped from San Francisco. Some Of
the supplies and a handful of troops
now and then have gone via Seattle
and the Sound City, with all her mer-
chants and politicians to back her, has
been making every effort to throw San
Francisco out of the field and acquire
allpthe transportation for herself. Her
opportunity came in more positive
form when the War Department adj
vertised for bids for the transportation
of men, passengers and supplies, allow
ing all the commercial lines to enter
into the competition. The idea is of
course that if the transportation can
be done more cheaply by a CONNER
cial line, the transport service as a
Government institution will be abolish
ed.
The bids from the commercial lines in
San Francisco have not yet been made
public, but a telegram from Seattle
states that the transportation company
whose headquarters are in the ambi-
tious little Sound city has put in an eX-
traordinarily low bid. The regular rate
of freight transportation is IS a ton, but
this company offers to do it for $3.50 a
ton. The extraordinarily low prices of
800 including subsistence, for first class
| passengers, have also been offered.
These figures seem to indicate, it is said
that the transportation Company is be-
| ing backed by the merchants, who have
been trying for the last four years to
| pull the transport service with its
millions of dollars of annual eXpendi-
ture from San Francisco.
The figures of the transportation COM
| panies, whose headquarters are in San
Francisco are yet to be heard from, how
ever, and no one believes that this city,
whose commercial ascendancy has been
undisputed for so long, is going to al
low the smaller city of the north to UNI
derbid her.

PUNAHOU.
TAKEN TO HIS MOTHER.

L. Montalvo, the legless Porto Rican
whose care has caused the local au-
thOrities some trouble, was sent to Ca
hu plantation yesterday. Montalvo's
mother sent word to the police that she
would take care of her unfortunate
offspring. Montalvo's limbs were cut
off close to the hips. He has a pair of
false legs but he states that the use of
them causes him much pain. He takes
his legs along with him wherever he
goes however, and tries to walk with
them at intervals. The authorities
have not yet decided what disposition
to make of the man. His case was laid
before the immigration authorities at
Washington, but no ruling has been
received from them on the subject. In
asmuch as the mans mother is taking
care of him, he probably can not be de-
ported on the ground that he is likely
to become a public charge.
