MAINLAND SALARY RATES.

Citizens and legislators who claim
that high salaries are necessary to ef-
fective service in any government can
find very little to support their claim,
II the results in Hawaii are to be taken
as a criterion or comparison of local
conditions with cities. towns, States or
Territories of relative size. As mat
ter Of protection the large Territorial
salaries have proved a signal failure,
and only in the largest cities OF the
Mainland is to be found the salary rate
which some of our citizens deem II wise
to require the taxpayers to maintain.
During recent months l.. +. Pinkham
has secured reports of Mainland cities
from Maine to California giving the
tax rate, methods OF assessment and
general details of administration which
would assist in framing local govern
ment laws for the Territory. All the
cities are of about the same pOpula-
ton rs Honolulu and without eXCep-
ton the legislative officers, aldermen
and councilmen, serve without pay.
The tax rate appears in some instances
larger than the rate in Hawaii, but Is
as a rule much lower on account Of the
taxes not being levied on full yalua-
ton of property and the freedom from
license and income taxes. Massachu-
sets. for instance, requires by State
law. assessment on a fair cash value.
The Treasurer OF Springfield, Mass, In
speaking of taxes, says that in the
practical working Of the law real prop
erty is assessed at about seventy-iive
per cent of its value. A new building
Ia assessed at seventy-iive per cent OF
actual cost.
The city OF Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, with population of about $4,000,
valued its real and personal property
Tor 1901 at S33,0il,ll2. The tax rate
was $l.9S per 500. In going over the

SAYS COUNTY SCHOOL
PEOPLE ARE POLITICIANS

Editor Evening Bulletin:-Being
more OF a reader than a writer find
myself handicapped when attempting
TO express my somewhat tangled views
and opinion
Nevertheless, being interested in the
school question. and relying on your
impartiaIily. | feel positive that you
will consider my brief words.
The school question has created
abundant excitement. and its animated
argument, both pro and con, have been
rather amusing.
Being AT present employed by the
centralized school Board, and being
familiar with its effects 10 advance
education in these islands. | most EN-
phaticalIy favor the present school sys-
TEN.
The Kau politicians, no doubt aspir-
ants to the will-be-created officers, took
the initiative in bucking against the
School Board, claiming that its admin
istratiOn Is defective. Now. | will say,
that though We are living in the Goth
century nothing yet invented has at
tanned perfection, and therefore to
slight the conscientious efforts of our
School Board Is grave injustice, for
at its head we have men who are. and
have been, most ardent and sincere pro-
mOteTs of education for the last gen
Grafton. Have they spent so many
years in studying our educational needs
for naught?
can safely state that the Kau kick
schools, are unfamiliar with both the
needs and methods OF our schools. This
assertion, based on the fact that very
few or none of the parents ever visit
school, can be sustained by any cOun-
try teacher. Now, | may ask, How do
these politicians know that the schools
need and must have change? They
will answer, that out of so many child
rem leaving school every year, none
have decent vocabulary of English.
Well said, but we must first consider
! the disadvantages under which our
children are laboring. They have &c
master a foreign language, and even
bNiNi' bNlhb taught 'ht VI
same. their parents take them out OF
school to work In the cane fields.
The few Kau party leaders, who UNI
fortunately control the opinions of the
local voters, are posing as smart alexis
when they assert that the present
teachers are all pack of ignorant, in
competent fools, who were scared 50
as to sign the petitions circulated by
the Board.
DO these same kickers conscientious
ly feel inclined to serve the schools as
honorary officers or is 1t their pocket
books?
Let them examine the School Boards
of the different counties in the States
to convince themselves of the rotten
work carried on.
Can men who have never shown any
interest in their district schools bene,
fiji our methods OF education?
They can crafty their personal de-
sires, by employing their own political
friends.
