the GOVERNMENT PHYSICIANS.

The Governor has asked the Board OF
Health to seduce it's estimates to CIV
en- figure. The Board says that 1t can
not do so; but 1t turns out that the
reason why 1t cannot do so Is because II
insists upon retaining a salaried gov
eminent physician in each district. II
these salaries are scaled down to n
minimum, except in the districts where
the population is insufficient to main
tain a physician, the Board of Health
expense can be brought within the re-
Quired estimate.
The Board claims that these salaries
should not be eliminated or cut, because
the poor will then be without proper
medical attendance.
The members of the Board are re-
sponsible men and have done good
work They, of course, believe what
they say on this point. The reason
they so believe is that their business
keeps them so closely in Honolulu that
they are not personally brought into
contact with the practical working OF
the Government doctor" law.
Under the law as 1T stands, twenty
seven doctors are paid salaries of from
$50 to 5000 month. In addition they
are furnished free with certain
amount of drugs. For these salaries
and perquisites, they are supposed TO
examine leper suspects and to gratui-
tously treat the poor.
The amount of time consumed in the
first service is nominal, and, as they
are sole judges of whom the poor con-
sist, the result, with a few exceptions,
is that the free treatment is practically
nil.
1t is not probable that ten per cent
of the drugs furnished by the govern
ment are given away. They are con-
sidered by the doctors as simply per-
uuisite of office, and are used in their
private practice as matter of course.
There are a few districts where the
inhabitants are too few or too poor to
support a physician. 1t is proper 10
substitute a doctor in each of these
districts, to enable him to live there
With these exceptions there is no eX-
cuse for paying subsidies to large
number of worthy doctors who are not
giving the public value in return for
the salaries received. Whenever the
government requires any special medi-
cal service, it can pay for 1t, as a pri-
yate individual would. The Governor
is right in this matter and the Board
is wrong.
There is no better opportunity fol
scaling expenses than in the Govern
ment doctor" item.

TWO ROADS IN pourlcs.

Senator Burton. who has been sem.
fenced to the penitentiary, is a type of
the young man who goes into poltlcs
believing that principle is not SO much
needed In that business as cleverness.
There are thousands of such novltiates.
They read the yellow papers which
group leading statesmen as rascals
and believe what the papers say. They
take for granted that Hanna was a
rogue and Mckinley his tool, that
Cleveland sold out to Wall street and
that Roosevelt is likely to do so. In
this frame of mind they enter politics
for revenue and are soon hopelessly
smeared with the tarbrush of COR
ruption. Then they wake UP to dis
cover that honesty is the best policy
even in politics. Sometimes the wax
ing comes in Jail.
II there is anything that isn't proved,
under this head, by the career of the
Burtons, Pomeroys. Tweeds, Buckleys,
Deverys, ct al, 1t is proved, from the
opposite standpoint. by the career of
Theodore Roosevelt. One OF the best
things that has come of the Roosevelt
Presidency is the lesson It has taught
ambitious American youth. The Pres
ident went into the New York Legisla
ture as young man intent upon doing
something for the public. All sorts of
pressure was brought to bear, as he
gained influence, to induce him to put
up with bad men and bad measures.
Had he done so he might have been
chosen speaker Of the assembly. He
refused to do so and made himself
INT iy, 70
politics. BY that he lost the speaker
ship, but he gained the confidence of
the American people who have larger
prizes than State speakerships TO be-
stow A weaker man, beaten at the start
by corruptionists, might have concluded
that honesty in politics did not pay.
That would not have been the con-
clusion of a Burton. But Theodore
Roosevelt did not ask the question.
Honesty to him is it's own reward; and
knowing himself to be right he went
ahead, losing indeed the office of Mayor
of New York, but gaining those Of
Governor and President.
The road of the honest man in poll
tics may be sometimes thorny but the
great opportunities for doing good are
along it and fame is at the end. The
road of the dishonest man may be
broad and alluring, and it may show
temporary successes, but its end is de-
struction. Roosevelt and Burton are
of about the same age and, perhaps,
equally bright mentally. Each had the
same chance in politics. But when the
roads parted each took a different one.
Look at them now.

TAXATION BEYOND PRECEDENT.

In his special message, Governor
Carter shows appropriations for eigh-
teen months aggregating $i,6S1 ,55O.2l,
and an estimated revenue for the same
period of $2,77S, 20l.05, or a deficit on
legislative calculations of $l,9O9, 3i9.l6.
This is a remarkable exhibit. How
long would a Secretary of the Treasury
or a Chancellor of the EXchequer hold
his office in the face of such a dis
parity of expenditures and receipts?
But the Governors showing goes
much further, and proves taxation, in
proportion to population, of which IL
may be fairly said that 1t is extremely
doubtful whether II is now approached,
under any form of government. He es-

In this Territory to foot up s2,160,OOO.Oo

torial bankruptcy. The population OF
California may be roughly estimated
at 100000 or about twelve times that
of the Hawaiian Islands. On the same
basis as our own, therefore, the annual
taxation for one year in that thriving
State would be sos 800, 100000 or, for the
quadrennial term of the Governor slOS,-
