The Democratic papers are now de.
ploring the fact that the great cor.
porations in this State are to be taxed.
Before the fall election they were
charging that the corporations were
to escape. They then were bowling
for the taxation of the corporations,
but since these corporations are to
be taxed, and since they have found
it out, these same Democratic papers
are wailing because the corporations
must pay their proportion of the tax
burden. They exempllfy the jumping

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July S.-The
officials Of the Athletic Department
of the Yale Summer School were call.
ed into executive session yesterday TO
decide the momentous question as to
whether the University should take
stand in favor of promiscuous bathing
in the Yale gymnasium tank. The
men and women students Of the sum.
mer school both want to learn to swim
and they are anxious to learn at the
same TIME in the Yale tank. When the
curriculum for the school was ar.
ranged to include Lessons in swim.
ming, II was expected to have women's
hours, but this was overlooked. Some
one suggested that the University
dispense with ceremony, and that oy.
erybody, regardless Of creed or color,
get into the tank together. There
was opposition on the part Of some Of
those who held that Yale should take
a stand with few of the summer re.
sorts where promiscuous bathing is
frowned upon.
Others held that II the Yale men and
women wanted TO swim together, the
university was not called on to rule to
the contrary, so this morning, the
tank for the first time in its history
was thrown open to all those who
wanted to take plunge.

Since the lot at the corner Of JEFF.

closed up to them, the country peo
pie who do their trading in the city
suffer more hardship than they are
prepared 10 endure patiently. Sew.
eral prominent people of the nearby
rural communities are considerably
worked up over the matter, and are
making vigorous complaint. One
lady. who supplies many families in
Fairmont with country produce, was
heard to say yesterday that she
could easily enough dispose of ev
erything she could raise, and do her
trading in the oil fields at much less
Inconvenience. And she further
avowed that there were plenty of hel
neighbors who were of the opinion, as
was she. that, much as they liked to
trade in Fairmont, the lack Of con
venience for. hitching was going &c
leave them with no alternative. but
to take their business elsewhere. II

FOR RURAL
RESIDENCES
Lands at Kaneohe to
Be Opened--Kalihi
School Site.

Five pieces of government land near
Kaneohe village on this island are to
be opened for homesteads or country
residence sites. They will be laid off
in tracts of little over nine acres.
J. w. Pratt, Commissioner of Public
Works, expects to have surveyor
at this work next week. Some appli-
cations are on file for homesteads of
this particular type.
Mr.. Pratt is conducting negotiations
on behalf of the Board of Education,
with Frank S. Dodge, agent of the
Bishop estate, to acquire a site for the
proposed new kalihiwaena school AS
there is an appropriation for a $4,000
schoolhouse at that place, {. good site
is wanted There are three public
land remnants in the locality but they
lie apart and neither of them is large
enough for a school of such conse-
Quence.
Sites from others are available Tor
cash but there is no cash available for
the purpose, hence the bargaining With
the Bishop estate as the only land
owner that will make a swap.

BY AUDITOR
He Holds Up Contracts
Because Cash Is
Not Here.

Auditor Fisher has put his back
against a rock-as he takes it-and is
holding up loan fund contracts against
the opinions of the Governor, the Su-
perintendent of Public Works and the
Attorney General. Unlike Roderick
Dhu's rock, the one upon which the
Auditor braces his spine is not surely
impregnable. For the Attorney Gener-
al may drill a hole in it and put dyna-
mite cartridge in the hole, and then
the Supreme Court may explode the
charge and blow the monolithic defense
into macadamizing metal.
One of the contracts is that of L. M
Whitehouse for the Nuuanu reservoir
system improvements. There was an
appropriation of $4,000 in the 1903 loan
bill for the works, and there is one of
$500, 900 for them in the 1905 bill. Bids
We're advertised for, to construct the
big reservoir on May last. The bids
wers to be submitted on or before the
18th of June. On May 90 the Legisla-
ture had passed a new loan appropria-
ton bill, to take effect Immediately, for
the biennial period beginning July 1,
1905. The contract was awarded June
% to Whitehouse, a condition being
that no payment Hereunder could be
made until July 23-or one month after
the date of contract-when so per cent.
On work performed would be payable.

GOVERNOR AND SENATOR
EXCHANGE SENTIMENTS

Senator McCandless having, under
date of Saturday last fired off his re-
ply to Governor Carter's letter in an
swer to his communication, with petit
tions enclosed, on the subject of the
Loan Act. the correspondence was
yesterday released.
Governor Carter exhibits his message
to the Legislature in which he stated
that he signed the loan appropriation
bill with certain reservations, in keep
ing with the fact that loan appropria-
tfons have never been expended to the
dollar within the periods for
which they were passed, and that he
had done so because a large number
of country members desired to return
to their homes by the then next weeks $
steamers and could not be gratified in
that desire if he held the loan fund
bill long enough for thorough examin-
alton.
Senator McCandless in reply merely
reiterates his previous contention,
made here and sent to President Roose-
welt. that the Governor has no author
ity in law to interfere with performed
legislation beyond either approving or
vetoing a measure passed by the Leg
islature-the veto in the case of ap-
bills being applicable to
separate items without affecting the
rest of the measure.

ginger and, apart from the
