r n u r. ~.

America is readily to be believed. So
on in his days and many Solons since
have held that the small state is the
ideal state. But that the United
States, If the ideas, laws, and systems
of New Zealand should be adopted
here would find itself benefited is
doubtful"
Says the Baltimore News:
at can not be denied that the show
ing which New Zealand has made since
it has gone in for the greatest meas
ure of governmental paternalism
known in any modern community con-
stitutes a strong argument in favor OF
experimentation in that direction.
But while the argument is on its
face a strong one, and the showing
New Zealand has made is one that can
not be ignored, that is far from saying
that the argument is conclusive. or
comes anywhere near being conclu-
sive. The primary fact about New
Zealand is that while it covers a ter
ritory of more than 100000 square
miles-more than ten times thu area
of Maryland-two-thirds of which is
suitable for agriculture and grazing,
it has population of only about 800
900 persons, the largest town having
little more than $4,000 inhabitants.
! Over and above this, there is the fact
that the pulation-eXclusive of the
handful of Maoris-is remarkably ho-
mogeneous in origin, general charac-
ter, and political traditions. What
can be accomplished with such a pop
ulation in such circumstances it
would be hazardous to assert could be
duplicated in a country with the COM
plexities the concentration of popula-
ton, and the diversity of elements
which ours presents. Furthermore, it
remains to be seen what New Zealan
will develop into. That the history
of this political experimentation
will be worth watching is quite GER
tain"
The New York Evening Mail also
| dwells on the other side of this MIC
ture of prosperity. We read:
with a fertile territory as large as
Japan or Italy, and population of les y
| than million, the unemployed ough
to be as scarce in New Zealand as
they were in America in colonial
| times. It's per capita debt has at least
kept pace with it's per capita wealth.
| 1t represents burden of 1925 on every
|
| try represents a burden on every res
ident of $40. There ere those who say
that the English lender may get left
| in his investment, as Sir Charles Dixie
| notes in his Greater Britain FL
| nanced from abroad, with a surplus of
| land and with England paying it's de-
Tense bills, there may be something
transitory, if not artificial, about the
apparent good fortune of this semi
Socialistic colony"
The Chicago Chronicle lays stress
on the argument that popular govern
ment may be just as despotic as an au-
tocracy. Thus:
mo government can afford to per-
nit any of it's services to be paralyzed
by persons in its employ. This means
that If government employs men in
any field of service it must have au-
thority over them, and this authority
must not be resisted 1t therefore
means loss of personal liberty just
to the extent to which government be-
comes the employer If it becomes
thoroughly Socialistic, taking over all
capital and employing everybody, the
loss of personal liberty must necessa-
rily be complete"

MERCHANTS AGAINST
TIE EXHIBIT Law
Continued from Page 81

their exhibits public to the people. The
people were entitled to know some
thing concerning corporation affairs.
There Is In the world today an in
creased antagonism to corporations"
said Mr.. Bowen, land unless we want
to increase that antagonism, 1 believe
we should live up to every law made.
To object or evade is to increase the
distrust towards doing business in this
form"
Mr.. Bowen thought that If an objec-
tionable front was exposed toward the
law 1t would have very unfavorable
appearance for the merchants. He
believed it would be a great mistake.
OFFICIALS SHOULD ANSWER.
Mr.. Wakefield thought that the Gov
ernor, Treasurer and Tax Assessor, as
the representatives of the people
should be the only ones to have ac-
the representatives of the people,
could not trust their officials then
they should get other officials. The
present law was distinctly different
from the original law. The law had
been changed by the codifiers. He did
not believe the present law could be
regarded as the peoples law.
Mr. Brown remarked that the very
private affairs of ones business did
not come out in these exhibits.
DILLINGHAM'S POSITION.
Walter F. Dillingham; made one of
the best arguments against Mr..
Bowen's position. He did not believe
1t the best thing to have private busi-
ness affairs brought before the public
eye. He could see why Mr.. Bowen
would have no objection to filing ex-
hibits in corporations because thay
are sugar plantations whose habit is
to make out complete reports for the
public gaze, and this because OF the
number OF stockholders entitled TO the
reports. While the exhibits may not
be In detail yet competitors would
want to see what another merchant
made during the year and what his
expenses were, etc. This would tend
to discourage people rom gohig into
business. II might be an American
way to handle these corporation mat
tiers but he did not believe II was en-
tirely the policy in America to have
detailed business made 70 nuollc.
Mr., Hagens and others agreed with
Mr., Dillingham;.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-01-12
LEAKS FROM OFFICES.

e. A. McInerny said he had followed
this matter rather closely. The bill
before the last legislature was intend
ed to ameliorate conditions which the
treasurer insisted on enforcing 1t was
suggested to the Governor and Treas
urer that the exhibits be only for the
use of the officials and they would be
the ones to stop any evasion Any
ofhcial making public any exhibit
should be guilty of a misdemeanor One
exhibit was made public. Information
leaked out of the tax office and that
Information defeated a lawsuit. No
one knew today who gave out that
information. About a year ago some
one copied the exhibit of the Pacific
Hardware Co., and offered to sell it
to competitor for IS. That was GER
tainly Objectionable and the publicity
given to exhibits renders it unsafe to
corporations. The blanks call for de-
tails of liabilities, stock on hand, cash
on hand and in the bank, etc.
OPPOSED TO BOWEN.
w. w. Harris did not agree with
Mr. Bowen. He believed the associa-
ton should take the matter up. Mr..
Rodiek agreed with Mr.. Dillingham;
and Mr.. McInerny. Mr.. Paris even
believed the corporation exhibit law
to be superiuous.
President Smith made an able adj
dress favoring the line of argument
projected by Messrs. Dillingham; and
McInerny. None of the merchants
have tried to evade the law. There
were private matters of business which
1t certainly was not desirable to have
made public.
Mr.. Bowen thought that only bona
fide residents should have access to
these exhibits.
TO DEFER FILING.
Mr.. Paris suggested that if the At
torney General would agree to defer
calling for the annual exhibits and
give the merchants time to bring the
matter before the court. it would be
worth while. If the case fell through,
then the exhibits could be filed.
Mr.. McInerny did not believe the
Treasurer would consent. on Mr..
Smiths suggestion a motion was made
by Mr.. Wakefield to refer the matter
to a committee and this passing,
Messrs. Wakefield, McInerny and Har-
ris were appointed to make a report
and present same to a special meeting
next week.
The Merchants Association annual
dinner takes place tonight at the Ha-
waiian Hotel.

Messrs. Bath. Hamburg. Emmeluth.

Sharp and craig.
President Emmeluth stated that the
object Of the meeting was To determine
whether or not the exchange should be
done away with. Acting on a general
suggestion he had endeavored to OBJ
tain consensus OF opinion of the
members as to whether the exchange
should be disbanded or not. by sub
hitting a mailed query to that effect.
He said that things had been very
quiet with organization for some time
past but thought that the exchange
had future and should continue to
exist, If only to perform a civic duty
by assisting as much as lay in its
power, i'm the architectural beautifica-
ton OF Honolulu.
He realized that If the exchange
were to be kept together, members
would have to put their shoulders to
the wheel In a more decisive manner
than they had been doing the past six
months
