TAXATION VALUES

Editor Evening Bulletin-Carried to
logical conclusions, the Supreme Court
decision in the merchants tax appeals
and its construction of the term full
cash value" make up far-reaching de-
cision as regards the future OF taxation
in this Territory. That measure of
value which applies to stock OF
goods must also apply to good
stocks" to land and Improvements as
well as all other taxable property, and
such application for the current period
would mean a reduction Of fully TWEEN.
ty per cent. from realizations for the
past year. " 'Hf.
When land under foreclosure will
not bring the amount of the mortgage
in cash on the day Of sale and has
been rated for taxation all the way
from so per cent. to 200 per cent. in
excess of such mortgage, the conclu
sion Is obvious that such valuations
are VIGOROUSLY excessive when gaug
ed by the measure of value adopted
by the Supreme Court. Gagged by
the same measure OF value the assess

IMMIGRANTS NEEDED FIRST,

Governor Carter Is quoted as opposed
10 the land booming policy until 1t Is
possible to sell settlers land from
which they can make living. What
the Governor evidently means is that
he has no intention OF holding out false
promises to settlers with the eventual
result of their becoming dissatisfied
and allowing their holdings to fall into
the hands OF corporations now in pos
session of the greater portion of Terri
torial areas.
The saving quality Of Carter's propo-
sitiCn is that he contemplates waiting,
instead of making a continuous bluff,
after the manner of the Dole regime,
but accomplishing nothing. There is
no doubt that this Territory needs
American settlers or settlers eligible
to become Americans. The Governor
in his travels found Kona to be dis
trict with many comfortable homes and
has spoken of that section as the great
home district of the Territory. He also
found the Russian settlement COM
munity worthy of approval.
The Bulletin believes that the adj
ninistration's land policy should be de-
velepode in connection with aggres-
sive work for the promotion of immi-
grafton other than Asiatic. This op-
portunity Is offered through the pro-
vision made by me last Legislature for
ar immigration Commissioner. Forced
economy has necesstated cutting Off
the commissioners salary but there is
no reason for the work for European
OF American immigrants coming
TO standstill. The great European
overflow is constantly pouring into the
Eastern ports. Hawaii needs a portion
OF this population. Some say We can't
Set ii. Certainly we cannot unless a
continuous effort is made to secure It.

Despite the claim that Asiatic labor
must be employed in the construction
of the Panama canal, the young Pana-
ma Republic has adopted the scheme
of restricted immigration which has
invariably followed American suzer-
ainity. The National Assembly passed
a law on March prohibiting the i'm
migration OF Chinese, Syrians and
Turks and imposing a fine of $500 on
steamship companies violating the law.
This law does not effect the canal strip,
but II will be remarkable state Of af-
fairs II our own established laws are
upset and Panamas set at naught by
the labor problem Of the canal.

'Hands across the sea" seem to be
wearing brass knuckles just now. Our
British brethren do not entertain so
high an opinion of us as some of us do
Of them. At any rate, this is what a
preacher of fashionable London
church has to say about American
women in England: II have great
admiration for American industry and
the ability of Americans, but the hui
man exports the United States sends
us have bad effect on the morality
OF England. The American women in
London have used their influence
against the abiding ties of husband
and wife. They have helped to reduce
love and friendship to a money value
and set an example of child neglect.
They are too busy gadding about to
study their children or educate them
properly. When with their children
they hamper them; when away they
seem to forget their existence" OF
course this preacher refers to only one
kind OF American women, and these
generally boast Of Anglo-Saxon blood,
says the San Francisco Leader. They
may neglect their children abroad.
Here at home they don't have any chill
dren to speak of.

The report has been printed in the
daily newspapers that the question
whether or not the Holy See should be
petitiOned to make one of our arch
bishops the primate of the Church in
the United States, is being discussed
among the hierarchy, and that most
of our chief prelates will soon 90 to
Rome to take part in the discussion be-
fore the congregation of the propa-
ganda and the pope, says the Catholic
Columbian. Ii a primate We're APP
pointed, he would have jurisdiction
over all the other archbishOps, the
apostolic delegation in Washington
would be abolished, and the relations
of the Church in this country with
the Holy See would be abridged. If
a layman has a right to express an
opinion in such a matter, glslvely af-
fecting the welfare of the whole
Church in this Republic, then The
Catholic Columbian will give voice to
the conviction that the creation of a
primary, not simply Of honor but also
of authority, would lead to the renew
al of past dissensions, the fermentation
of further antagonisms, and the inter-
ruption of that close contact with
Peter which is now our security for
unity, peace, justice and regularity.

to make provision for the formal ac-
ceptance Of the statute of Pere Mar
quette are unfounded, says the New
Century of Washington, ID. G.. The
Senate sometime ago, it is true, did
pass a resolution of acceptance, but
the House failed to move in the mat
ter. At that time the malign intlu-
ence of the n. T. \. was so potent as
to affect the votes of enough members
of Congress to quietly smother the
resolution. But times have changed.
The power Of that sinister organiZa-
ton has waned and it is hard to be-
lieve that to-day there could be found
among the members of Congress a
sufficient number of narrow-minded
and unpatriotic men capable of carry
ing out the beheSts of that band of I'M
American conspilators. Pere Mar
quotes remarkable achievements in
the discovery of the Mississippi and in
the conversion of thousands of say
ages from barbarism entitle his name
and memory to grateful commemora-
ton, even though he did wear the
priestly garb. AS Il work of art his
ettigy in Statuary Hall ut the Capitol

The recent utterances of Pope Plus
concerning church music, which has
created a stir in this country, does not
apply to America, according to the
views of Rev. j. ]. Loughran, ID. D.,
chancellor of the Scranton diocese,
says the Catholic Light II am con-
vinced' said the doctor the other day,
chat this applies to the cathedrals Of
1aly, where great male choirs are
maintained and where there has been
a tendency of late in the direction of
operatic effects The pope desires to
prevent the introduction Of secular
music into the services of the church."
The choirs in nearly all of the Cath
Ole churches of America are composed
mainly of female voices, and if the
pope's action is as sweeping as some
have asserted, it would be difficult to
maintain choirs in many churches.
None Of the American bishops have re-
ceived a copy of the pope's utterances,
which is in itself seeming proof of the
fact that it was not intended for this
country.

Roman curia is not specially interested
in the perpetuation of the royal brood

The Allegemine Zeitung, a Vienna

leans Is seeking divorce, and that he
has petitioned the Roman Curia for a
despensation to enable him to marry
the daughter Of a great Austrian
noble. He sets up the plea that his
present union is childless, and that
he desires to continue the royal line!
This is virtually the same reason Ma

Josephine and demanding papal appro-
