AFTER JAPANESE
FROM PLAN ATIONS

It was reported yesterday that ac
tive recruiting for emigrants has been
started by the hotel runners at some
of the Oahu plantations, those particu-
larry worked being the Eva and Wal
pahu plantations. Whether this is in
connection with the coming of the $.
S. Indiana or for some other emigra-
tion hui is not known. T. X. Maxine,
who is engineering the Indiana project,
is emphatic in his statements, up to
the present time, that he is making no
effort whatever to induce any of the
laborers from the plantations to leave
the Territory, rather discouraging them
on the contrary. He states with equal
emphasis that he is in position to
get all of these laborers that he wants
and intimates that should the Planters
Association attempt to put any stumb-
ling blocks in his way he may change
his mind about taking them.
Maxine is in receipt of a cablegram
from a Vancouver attorney advising
him that there is no provincial law
respecting immigration and no statute
on the provincial book requiring any
show money from immigrants. This
cable is misleading, from the fact that
it makes no reference to the Dominion
law, which requires the
showing of $50 by all immigrants be-
fore permission is given them to enter
the country. The japanese VINO leaves
here broke, relying on the eabled ad-
vice, is going to be held up by the
Dominion officials.
1t was expecte'' yesterday that cablad
adviees from Vancouver would have
been received regarding the reception
of the Kumeric. The vessel was due
to arrive there on Tuesday night and
tie fact that No word vas received
Yesterday is taken by some to mecn
that she has either been put into quar-
antine or that there is some trouble
with the immigration authorities and
none have been allowed to land in or

a straw stack belonging to another

straw, the charges of disturbance
against Mrs Puahi, the disappearance
of Edmonds' ducks. a case against Tam
Pong before the Federal jury, in which
the Edmunds act figured and many
other things which have happened in
Waikiki of late, are all said to be
evidences of a little neighborly IN

The Tax Commission has received
the following anonymous letter:
To the Members OF the Tax Commits
sion, for the Territory Of Hawaii,
at Honolulu.
Gentlemen: In compliance with your
request TO the public for suggestions
that might be Of assistance TO your
committee in framing amendments TO
our present tax laws, / take the liberty
Of presenting an idea, which, if adopted
by the Legislature, viii tend TO reFo-
lutionize our system of taxation.
I beg, then, gentlemen. 10 call your
attention to an article in the June
number of Harpers Magazine, by Pro-
fessor William H. Pickering, of the
Harvard Observatory. In this article
it is proven beyond shadow Of doubt
that the Moon was originally part
of the Hawaiian Islands. For instance,
on page 126. he says that the density
of the Hawaiian Islands, according TO
tests made by z. d. Preston of the
United States Coast Survey, is very
high: in fact, exactly the same as that
of the Moon, based purely on theoreti-
cal grounds. Mr.. Preston's tests were
made, proba bly,, by examining the
members of the Legislature, who are
responsible for the creation of your
august body This should be conclu-
sive with you.
Again I quote from pages 12S and 129
Most of the smaller Lunar craters
with which we are acquainted, and
these probably number more than
per cent. of the whole, have
smooth, rounded, concave floors. Many
examples Of this class are found in Ha-
wall, upon the slopes of Mount Huala-
Lar Numerous other curious for
nations seen upon the Moon are now
found to exist also in Hawaii and there
is scarcely a lunar feature which does
not have its counterpart somewhere in
this interesting newly acquired posses
sion of the United States" ST

account of this subject, see papers in

SOME IDEAS FOR THE
LOCAL TAX COMMISSIONERS

taxes on the same? Your question,
gentlemen, is only another example Of
/ the density, previously mentioned, pre-
vailing in the islands. 1 will admit
that prior TO reading Professor Pick
: ering's article. I had been under the
impression that the Moon was made
( O" green cheese. 1 had no other infor-
nation on the subject, except the ru-
NOR that a COW had jumped over it.
( This story has since been pronounced
/ q fake by President Roosevelt. AS one
I of your members has just been APP
/ pointed Governor by the President, it
would seem useless TO pursue this
( branch of the subject further.
/ NV suggestion in a few words is this:
/ As the Moon is part of the Territory
of Hawaii, we have a right TO collect
revenue from the rest of the world for
the light emanating therefrom. Con-
slider how much they owe US.
/ I quote from the same magazine ar
ticIe: The human race owes far more
to that body than we have ever before
placed to its credit. If the Moon had
not been formed at all oun
race could then hardly have advanced
beyond the intelligence of the present
''deep-sea. fish, That is to say, most
of US would be in the Aquarium now,
with a sign out on the front gate-'See
the What You May Callems.''
What would the world be like with
out moonlight? Think of the back
taxes. According to Professor Picker
ing, it is more than several thousand
million years since we lost our dear
departed. The details could be easily
worked out on a scientific basis, by
using a Single Phase Wattmeter. I
refer you to the manager of the Ha-
waiian Electric Company for a solu-
ton of this problem. He knows what's
Watt.
OF course, there are some complicat-
ed legal questions involved. For ex-
ample, the right of courtesy of the
man, and the right of dover of the
lady in the Moon. Whether or not the
lady in the Moon is entitled to dover
is a delicate question, which should be
referred to the United States District |
He seems to be specially |
gifted in that line of investigation of |
late.
have no doubt, gentlemen, that by |
this time you have come to the con-
clusion that am, as l sign myself,

Hay stands third In value and inn

the crop or any deterioration In its
quality will be felt in thousands Of
feed yards during; the coming year.
Prices are bound to run high and the
crop is short livery man who has az
acre OF grass land should take care
that it is secured in the best possible
condition and have it put under wa
ter proof shelter, so that none Is
wasted. Many are careless and very
wasteful when putting up hay. Grass

clean. set the sickle bar low and get
rs much of the stem as possible. Don't
get caught with four or five acres down
and a shower coming up. Work close
to the mower and If there is any time
when overtime will count, 1t Is in he
hay field. This is a. good year to put
up the hay in cocks. Cap them out
nicely, and don't leave stacks open over
night. Either top out the stacks, so
that possible showers will not injure
them, or provide a big stack cover and
spread It over the ~half-formed stack
