4 SCHOLARSHIP FOR
CHINESE CHRISTIAN

Bishop Nichols has offered certain
scholarships at the Divinity School at
San Mateo for students sent from Ho-
nolulu and he lately wrote asking for
a certain Chinese young man here
whom he desired to train for work
among the Chinese in San Francisco.
ALI of this goes to prove what 1 said
at Washington in 1903, that one i'm
portant part of our work here was to
prepare workers for China. The oppor-
tunities here are such that the Chinese
Christian can, as Bishop Roots and his
party said, advance further in a gener-
alton than they can in several gener-
ations in China. Our people who go
to China take with them minds en-
lightened by contact with the Western
people, and by the superior privileges
and opportunities which they enjoy
here. In this lies in great measure the
Importance of our work.-Bishop Res

Consideration for
His Views.

Editor Advertiser: Noticing the ar
ticle on page of today's issue of the
Advertiser in re '.Cable Taxation, l
would respectfully request space for
reprint of an article from the pen of
Leo Tolstoy, the noted Russian writer,
on the subject of taxation of land
values, and just TO hanu.
1t is about as concise statement OF
single tax principles and their applica-
ton as / have yet read and which, as
stated in his closing paragraph, lis
practicable all over the world.
Were that system in force in this
Territory, not only cables and cable
ships. but industries of all kinds COM
patible with the development of our
natural resources, would be in a -four
ishing condition and hard times would
come again no more.
The highest duty to which the civil
federation or any other publie-spirited
body of citizens could lend their ener-
gies at this time would be the reform
of our taxation system.
Thanking you for the courtesy,
Yours truly,

IT WAS UNDER DISCUSSION
The Presidents Railroad Policy al
Boston Dinner.
Judge GrOsscup Sees Danger In
Whole Question lnless
Handled Delicately.

Boston, March 1.-THE presidents
railroad policy was the general sub
ject of discussion at a dinner of the
Economic club of Boston. The
principal speakers were Judge
Peter S. Grosscup, of Chicago:
President David Wilcox Of the Della
ware & Hudson River Railroad Co..
and Interstate Commissioner Charles
A. Prouty. Each defended the pro-
posed national legislation, and refer
ring to the criticism that legislators
were not always competent business
men. said that while a certain amount
of expert knowledge was necessary in
the proper regulation of railroad tar
ifs, the questions to be decided,
though requiring good Judgment. were
not difficult of comprehension to one
habitually engaged in hearing them.
Mr.. Wilcox vigorously opposed the in
reference of the government in the
rate question. and declared it impos-
sible for a small body of men at Wash
ington TO properly dictate what the
railroad rates of the country should
be.
in conclusion Mr.. Wilcox said:
THE remedy lies in the vigorous
enforcement of existing statutes, which
will prevent rebates and discrimina-
tious action by the only branch of the
directly to the courts without dilatOry
preliminaries, so as to secure expedi-
tious action by the only branch Of the
government which is qualified to adj
minister justice and determine rights
of property. This will prevent unjust
determinations and undue or urrea-
souable preferences. So far as con-
Germs reasonableness of the rates. 1t IL
obvious that the present method under
which the commission has power to
pass upon existing rates has been eff
fectual. But governmental future rate
making would play havoc generally,
and business by lawsuit would be in
tolerable"
Judge Grosscup said that he saw Sc
rious danger in the whole question un-
less It was handled delicately. not only
by President Roosevelt. but by the
railroad men. The latter. he said, while
insisting that there should be no con-
fiscation of their property or supervi-
sion that in the long run would
amount to confiscation. should join
with the president in establishing
tribunal through which the nations
power could be honestly exercised.
