FILLING CHANNEL.
Whatever authority has charge of the
maintaining of Honolulu harbor should
have it's attention called to the work
being done in connection with the
dredging of the Brewers wharf dock.
! The mud which is taken up is placed
on lighters and towed by a launch Ia
| the channel near the spar buoy and
| there dumped. The current may take
some of it to sea. but it seems cer-
lttain that it can do no good to tho

great expense, to have this mud placed
right at it's entrance. The launches

CLAUDINE ARRIVES.
The Inter-Island steamer Claudine,
from Hawaii and Maui ports, came In

large crowd of passengers. Every state
room was full and besides this the deck
accommodations were crowded with 1o4

down to go to Vancouver.

KOREA DUE.
The Korea, which it was thought
might arrive during the afternoon from
the Orient, should be off port this
morning. She will have a big passen-
ger list from this port, number OF
local people staying over from the 81

liner. She will take between $50 ano
100 saloon passengers from Honolulu
and will also take eighty in the steer
age. The latter have had their bag
gage disinfected already and will be
placed on board the steamer shortly
after she comes into this port.

HONOLULU FORTS WOULD
REQUIRE OVER 1000 men

If the plans Of the Secretary of
War are carried out for the placing
of coast defense guns and mortar bat
teries it will mean the stationing here
permanently of $50 men for manning
the guns alone, while the troops re-
CURED for the promised Notifications,
bring the number stationed on this
island to well over thousand men.
The plan of Secretary Taft, as cabled
from Washington last week, is to mount
here six 12-inch guns, four 6-inch guns
and sixteen twelve,inch mortars.
The manning details for these are
given in recent number of the Army
and Navy Journal. Twelve-inch mortar
batteries, says this authority, consist
of eight mortars grouped in pits of
four mortars each, and require man
ming detail o. III men. The sixteen
proposed for Hawaii would make up
two such batteries, requiring 34e men.
batteries OF twelve-lnch guns usually
consist of two guns, occasionally one
and three; manning detail for a
battery consisting of one 12-inch gun
is sixty enlisted men; of two, ninety
four; of three 100 men. The six to be
mounted here, would, according to
these figures, require not less than 26o
enlisted men to operate.
Eight and 6-inch gun batteries usual
lySS consist of two guns, occasionally
of one, three and four guns. A man
ming detail for one gun of 6-inch
calibre is forty-three men; of two guns,
sixty-three men; of three guns, eighty
four, and full four gun battery, los
men.

A RECEIVER FOR A TRUST.

Our government is after big game.
While 1t is batting Standard Oil it sud
denly turns upon the Tobacco Trust
and attacks that hugely grown monop-
oily In a suit for it's dissolution and the
appointment of a receiver, and with a
threat of criminal prosecution Of the re-
sponslble managers, The Tobacco
Trust has worldwide r~amiications and
aims to get complete control of the
worlds supply of the weed, together
with all the agencies for it's production
and sale. Its success would mean an
enormous power for evil. Cuba could
be ruined or benefited at the will OF
the trust. the tobacco interests in this
country could be held in subsection,
prices of tobacco of all kinds could be
regulated as arbitrarily as the Goa
Trust regulates the price of coal. The
Tobacco Trust is a national and inter-
national conspiracy and the Federal
government has not grappled with the
monster too soon.

PRESENT THAT SILVER SERVICE.

Among the bills passed by the Assem-
bly, this week the Senate should take up
without delay and pass the Tumulty
bill appropriating $1,000 to pay the ex-
pense of a formal presentation of the
$40, 900 silver service to the battleship
New Jersey. This splendid ship is one
Of the fleet that will soon proceed to the
Pacific. 1t Is possible that the ships
will sail before September, or before the
Legislature shall meet in that month.
1t would be d~isgraceful to the State
for that silver service to be left lying in
a State House vault when the battleship
New Jersey weighs anchor to depart.
1t is dlscreditable to the Legislature
that so long a time has elapsed since
the service was made and delivered
without a presentation. In fact, our
Governor cannot now appear before the
battleship officers without apology fol-
the neglect and without feeling that
there is a tarnish on the States gift.

owners. and can forbid diversion or pol
luton of the waters by the latter.
So far as control of the potable
waters in the lakes is concerned the
State appears TO have ample authority.
But the lakes are essential features of
the scenery of the State; they are nat
ural parks for the people and it is un-
natural that they should be privately
owned and enjoyed exclusive Of the
public at large. The population of the
State is rapidly growing. Improved
transportation win soon fill the north
ern highlands with teeming communl-
ties. 1t viii then be intolerahle to see
the beautiful lakes held as private fish
ponds by a few wealthy owners, and
that is the spectacle we invite by neg
lecting to secure State possession to
convert these lakes into free resorts for
the people.

Some good may come out of the pro-
tracted and rather stupid proceedings
of The Hague tribunal, but there is as
yet nothing in evidence. Each nation
has come to The Hague with its little
axe to grind, and when II cannot have
its way it won't play. The best that
could be expected of such a convention
is some modification of the rigors Of
war such as was procured by previous
international agreement, as, for in
stance, the use of dun dunn bullets in
battles on land. There is no prospect
Of agreement on principles such as that
contained in the "Drago doctrine or

THE LAKES FOR PUBLIC PARKS.

If the State is going to acquire
possession of the inland lakes by virtue
of the act recently passed vesting the
power of purchase in the state For
estry Commission, the state should
make some better bluff. than it makes
in the meagre appropriation voted by
the Legislature. Leaving out the water
supply reservoirs belonging to Newark
and Jersey City. there are los lakes with
areas exceeding ten acres and there are
thirty lakes of more than 100 acres
each.
The present titles to these lakes were
obtained from the Boards of Pro
prietors of East and West Jersey and
these titles have not been successfully
challenged, although based on shadowy
rights, the survival of the original
vague grants. Be that as It may the

THE RA1LRoAD TAX ISSUES.

The forthcoming decision by the
branch court of the Supreme Court on
the question involved in the suits by
the railroad companies to test the con-
stitutionality of the Perkins railroad
tax act of 1906 will be appealed to the
Court of Errors and Appeals. That
tribunal has already decided one prin-
clple involved in the litigation in the
Supreme Court in the opinion recently
rendered affirming the constitutionality
of the Duf1eld act and its method of
taxing second-class property by local
higher court has encouraged the pre-
sumption that both courts will favor
the cause of the State in the railroad
tax cases o pending.
There are several contentious to be
passed upon. First, the constitution
atty of the act of last year; second,
the claim by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road that by the charters of its SUBJ
sidiary companies in this state 1t is
exempt from all tax except one-half of
/ per cent, this rate having been es-
tablished by agreement constituting an
irrepealable contract. when the Legis-
lature changed the method of railroad
taxation from transit duties to per-
centage on the cost of the railroad
property. Another point TO be de-
cided is as to whether the Morris
Canal and Banking Company has a
similar irrepealable contract with the
State.
The railroad act of 1884, which was
accepted by all the railroad companies
except the Pennsylvania, was supposed
to wipe out all the charter exemp-
tiors. The Pennsylvania submitted to
the tax, but annually paid the amount
under formal protest. a shrewd device
of it's lawyers in contemplation of the
future enactment of a law for equal
taxation. This ~precaution has given
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
some standing in court.
BY the assessment of 1905 the Penn
sylvania paid 1921, 5ss.99 on main stem
for state uses and 1922, 4S1. "a on second
class property for the taxing districts.
The assessment last year on main stem
alone was $1,O77,513.1s, while the Sec
ond-class property, assessed locally,
was also largely increased in tax. The
company is playing for high stakes in
the present tax litigation. To the State
at large the stake is also great. 1t is
the difference between the totals OF
tax assessed on the main stem in 1905
and 1906, as the following comparative
table will show:
