To COLLECT
POLL TAX
County Sheriffs Clerk
Wants Warrants of
Policemen.

The Sheriff of the county of Oahu,
constituted himself a kind of deputy
tax assessor for the correction of poll
taxes from policemen. It is a touch
ing instance of regard for the integ-
rity OF the Territorial collections.
''Some little time ago." said County
Treasurer Trent yesterday, Harry
Murray came to me and asked me
whether it would be all right if he Sc
cured the warrants of all the members
Of the police force, took them to the
station, had the men sign them, then
on the back, got the money and took
it over and paid the men there? He
said that he wanted to aid Tax AS
SCISSOR Holt TO collect rne poll taxes of
The policemen. The plan was to hold
out two dollars per month from each
mans pay until the poll tax was paid.
'Of course I said that I had moth
ing to do With it, the matter of the
issuance of warrants oeing in the
hands of Auditor BicknelI. If a war;
rant comes to me properly drawn and
properly endorsed, l viii pay it.
have no discretion in the matter"
The scheme had already been taken
up with Auditor Bicknell. who is said
not to have looked upon it with favor.
It was taken up with him again yes
terday, and he is said still not to have
regarded it favorabl In fact, it is
doubtful whether under the law, the
Auditor has power to issue to one man
the warrant for the salary of another.
In the celebrated blanket warrant
case the warrants for the pay of the
men employed in the Garbage Depart
ment were issued to the head of that
department. but the Police Depart
ment is a little different in that the
must approve of the ap-
of police officers
Anyway, it is a scheme that Will
bear watching. 1t is not the business
of anybody in the Police Department
to collect poll taxes. If a policeman
does not pay his poll tax he can be
discharged from his employment, and
if he understands that he will be dis
if he does not pay, the chances
are that the amount Of the tax will
speedily be forthcoming.

+ L0OKER-ON IN IOWA !

Allison, March around Belmond
several farmers last fall thinking their
corn crop not dry enough to crib, plac-
ed common drain tile lengthwise in
their cribs. To make sure, they ran
three rows at the bottom of the crib,
covered that with, say three feet of
corn, then more drain tile then more
corn, etc. The result is their corn has
dried out, is now sound and worth 5
to cents bushel more than prevailing
prices for damp corn. Furthermore,
they can hold it Indefinitely. thus MAX
ing probably good price next summer
This was new to the writer, maybe to
the reader. and is reported to be quite
a common practice back in Illinois"
The regular grain dealers are not so
sorry as they might be over the exper-
fence, the farmers cooperative socie-
ties are having this year, in handling
damp corn. Regular dealers omit the
final letter of damp. when referring
to their own experience. Some of these
regular dealers claim to know that one
CO. operative society is $4,000 on the
wrong side of the ledger. on corn alone
And some optimistic regular grain
dealers say this damp corn will bust
up several cooperative societies. One
thing is sure this damp corn has lost
money for everybody that has handled
it-farmers and dealers alike. And
now to save the corn in the crib from
becoming completely unstable it will
have to be handled over and Sorted
quite a job in regulation shaped
wire, slat crib. In bank the other
day, the owner of the farm was telling
the renter a few things. One was he
must sell his corn and pay his rent,
$500, "long past due And the rent
er talked back and replied Il can't
sell it, the grain men don't want it,
at any price till it dries out"

never too old to learn, and that old
swindle is always new to some. The

MURDER OR "xILLINe3"

When the old west lay beyond the
boundaries of statutory law, where
men held their rights after the primal
fashion, and violence was common, the
phraseology of the time differentiated
between shooting up" a scoundrel and
taking the life of the innocent. Murder
was swiftly punished. A Killing
where the provocation to violence had
been great or continued was justified
and in cases applauded.
A case in New York City where a
young girl is on trial for murder Will
lead most persons to wish it might be
settled under border law. 1t appears
from the evidence elected that in the
New York underworld a cadet sys-
tenn" for supplying vacancies H. the
ranks of the demi- moral exists. 1t is
said that the male agents of this sys-
tenn prowl about the shops where the
girls exist on starvation wages. haunt
the paths of school girls AMI by per-
suasion, drugs and even force, accom-
plish the ruin of young women with the
single purpose Of supplying the
bagnios with inmates. Once in these
dens of vice by consent or triakery
their captors share in the proceeds of
their shameful vocation. Thousands
of such slaves we are told exist in New
York City and thousands of scoundrels
live in luxury on the shame Of their
hapless victims
Bertha Claiche, one Of these unfor-
tunate girls, killed the man who had
become her master. The system was
protected by the police. 1t was useless
to appeal to them. So the girl killed
him and now she is being tried for
murder, and may be convicted. Her
mode of life is against her and the
system from which the New York po-
lice gets most of its graft is in dan
ger.
The general opinion will be that the
girl ought to have killed him sooner.
Lacking that, some one else should
have killed him. Men like him have
no more right to live than has a rabid
dog. The old west with its somewhat
elastic code had some advantage over
more thoroughly organized society and
its rude justice, some advantages over
the statutes made and provided.
