The business session of the legislature will very
be half oye and so far the progress has been small in
deed 1t is never an easy matter to get large body of
pinned down to routine work. Hawaii it seems
next to impossible. Strong and intelligent leadership
is needed but that will avail unless there pre-
walls general desire to accomplish results
One thing is certain The present legislature will have
to make very much better record than the last if
TO avoid having to fight to retain the of self
government we have The danger ahead of Hawaii
pointed out by men who familiar individuals
can be with the sentiments and methods prevailing in
Washington is that Congress will begin legislate
us, taking up the work legislature ought do. AL
ready this has been absolutely necessary the
national Legislature having had to apportiOn long and
short term senators because the last Hawaiian egsa-
ture failed to do The Mitchell commission never
mentioned the fact that all parties in Hawaii had de.
cared for county government and just electing
Legislature to carry out policy all agreed upon.
Over the heads of all the local parties, ignoring local
plans as If they not worth attention, the Mitchell
commission calmly advised that Congress pass a NUM-
cipa law for Was because the commissioners had
no confidence in ability to enact law and foresaw
another useless legislature?
1t is not very far step from this point of view the
opinion that Hawaii has too much self government,
than she is fit for. While the local legislators are
passing resolutions asking for Statehood would be we'll
for them make efforts show Hawaiis fitness to be
a Territory.
1t needs statesman to that the county act if it is
to be passed at ALL must needs precede most others Other
laws must be made to fit it's provisions If the county
bill passed and had the governors signature to-
day it might well have had by this time there would
be work enough for the of the session and possibly
for session There is enough good and needed
legislation outlined in the exhaustive report of Chief
Justice Frear to keep both houses busy for many day
If the sixty days to expire without good result the
same reasons that prevailed against session will
be good again. No matter how much legislation is need
ed what is the of extra session of legislature
that cannot accomplish any legislation?

NEW ZEALAND DEVELOPMENT.

The theory of the New Zealand land tax law, of which
much has been written and said of late is that in
country improvements should be encouraged by eXemp
ton from taxation The real difficulty settle the
unimproved value At first it contended that the
prairie value the unimprOved value 1t became
apparent that such basis would afford very little
1t then mantaner that to arrive at the unm-
proved value, the vauator must first arrive the
selling value Of the land and deduct from that the value
of the neXhausted Improvements and the difference
the taxable amount a..
This worked unequaly in various directions, because
the neXhausted improvements difficult of definition
but the necessity for raising the money recOnced the
farmer to the inequality of the burden though it seemed
to vary not ohyWith the district but with each change
OF Government vauaor 1t may be roughly stated that
the unimprOVed value generally held to be about
twohrds of the market price of the land. The farmer,
under the property tax had paid the General Govern
ment Id q cents in the pound setering ga $500 the
total value of his property and stock with exemption
up to $500 2433 Under the land and income tax, he
pays Id in the pound the unmpOved value of his land
and his stock goes free of taxation.
The average result was thought to be little better for
the farmer and he enjoyed the consolation of seeing his
tIess nelghbor taxed as highly as he was without
and reference to his profitable Improbable occupancy
The farmer also felt that the large andhoder under this
system bound either to improve, and thus advance
the interest OF the whole district suffer in his
Thus the principle of taxation the unmproved value
grew in favor 1t soon came to be felt that the
system applied TO the towns might show substantial
suits 1t was contended that much land held for
speculative purposes, and that, if the city rates were
levied on the land only holders would have either to sell
5 or build.

LIQUOR DEALERS in 1T
WabaSSO Dealers Charged with Violating
the Sunday Closing Clause Of
Penal Law.
A Bunch of Witnesses Summoned to APP
pear Before Grand Jury-Re-
turns this Morning.

The liquor dealers of Wabasso are
on the toasting irons of the Crane
jury, and it is probable that wher
that body makes its preliminary re-
port to Judge Weber this morning
nearl y every one of the dealers o.
that town will have one or more in.
dictmpnts returned against him OF
them.
The grand jury investigation has
been scheduled for some time past
Rumors have been coming to the
ears of County Attorney Howard
to the effect that practically all OF
the dealers of that town were in
open violation OF the law prohibit
ing the sale of liquor on Sunday,
and that most any person, even the
ministers might haye got in on the
ground floor and obtained their
booze . on that prohibitory day, If
they had so desired.
County Attorney Howard asked
his informants, after the first infOr
nation was impaired ia him, to take
certain steps with the view of Sc
curing evidence that would not be
contradicted. This evidence was
placed in his hands prior to last Sun
day, and on Monday morning Mr..
Howard and Deputy Sheriff Scott
took an early whirl across the coun-
try to Wabasso, having in their pos
session a large number of blank
subpoaenas. They spent a couple
of hours in the town, and before
they left they had service on large
number of tie important witnesses
against the liquor dealers. AS a
result udge Webber's court was
we'll tllod at the opening yesterday
morning. and as soon as the grand
jury was given the law by His Hon
or the work of hearing these wit
nasses commenced and it was con-
tinued all afternoon.
In case the indictments are re-
turned this morning bench warrants
for the liquor dealers will be issued
during the noon hour aud the deal
ers will probably be arraigned to-
morrow morning. There may be
more than one indictment in each
case. Whether the dealers will en-
ter pleas of guilty or not during
this term remains to be seen.
So far as known this is the most i'm
portant work of the grand jury at
it's present session.

Fat People and Precipitation.


Fat people are less able to resist the
attacks of disease or the shock of in
juries and operations than the mod
erately thin. In ordinary everyday life
they are at a decided disadvantage.
Their respiratory muscles cannot SO
easily act. Their heart is often handi-
capped by the deposit on it, and the
least exertion throws them into a per-
spiration. This last fact is curiously
misunderstood. 1t is almost universal
~ looked upon as an actual melting"
of the simultaneous fat and is consid-
cred to lie natures method of getting
rid of the superfuity.
But this is not correct. for in spite of
it's greasy appearance sweat only con-
tains a trace of fatty matter. rarely
more than Oh per cent. and this comes
of course from the cells Of the sudor-
iparous glands and primarily from GER
tain constituents in the blood. A per-
son whose limbs and body are covered
with adipOse tissue is in the position of
man carrying a heavy burden and
too warmly clothed.-London Hospital.
