Excursion TO
HAWAII PLANNED
SAN DIEGO PAPER HIGHLY
PRAISES THE IDEA OF SEND
ING A PARTY.

The plan for an excursion from
San Diego to Hawaii should ind ia
vor. It will appeal to many from the
standpoints of both pleasure and bust
ness. A trip to the islands is always
delightful. For recreation, rest and
the general advantages of travel, few
journeys that can be taken are more
desirable. Its practical side is even
more important. Acquaintance is a
potent factor for trade. This fact is
becoming recognized more fully in
California in these days, than was the
case formerly. All over these south
ern counties there is a disposition
among the different localities to be-
come better acquainted Excursions
to the back country" such as the
recent one from this city to the I'm
perial Valley are becoming popular
1t is realized that they are an advan-
tage alike to the excursionists and
to those who are visited.
At the present time it is very de-
sirable that the people of this city,
especially the business men, should
pave the way for more extensive COM
mercial relations with the rich isl
and territory in the Pacific, and the
first step in that direction Is better
acquaintance The building of the
direct line of railway from San Diego
to the east will necessarily make new
traffic alignments. There is every
reason to believe that this future av-
enue of transportation will be utilized
very largely for transpacitic COM
MERGE. And that trade to and from
Hawaii will be diverted to the short
route between this city and the east,
will not be doubted. So in view OF
it all, the time is opportune for the
people of San Diego and Honolulu to
know each other better.
Besides, there will be the benefit OF
advertising this city. 1t is true that
Hawaii is not the place from which
San Diego expects to obtain many
home seekers. The islanders them
selves are in the field to get colonists.
Still, Hawaii is a tourist region and
this city will gain by making its ad-
vantages known to the people who are
there.
But leaving out of consideration
the sordid or business side, the ex-
cursion will be a mutual pleasure,
alike to the people who will go from
here, and to those whom they will
meet on the islands. In Honolulu the
San Diegans are sure of a cordial well
come. There has always been a GER
tain bond between the two places, ow-
ing to the fact that there is quite a
colony of San Diego people in the Ha-
Haiian city, and while they are doubt
less happy and contented there, they
are like all others who have ever LIVED
in San Diego-in all that elates to its
welfare. There is no spot on earth
equally distant from San Diego where
people of this city will find more old
friends than in Honolulu.-San Diego

tax rate and vice versa, The liking
and declaring Of the tax rate is done
by the county board.
rhe amount OF tax to be paid by
ench individual taxpayer is depend
ent upon two things: First, the total
amount OF money to be raised by
taxation with which it already has
hcen shown the assessors have no
thing to dol; and second, the ratio
that the assessed valuation OF his
property bears to the aggregate as
sessed valuation of all the taxable
property in the city.
!. IL the assessed valuation OF a
mans property bears the same ratio
to the aggregate Of all the assess
I ment that the actual value of biz
property bears to the actnal value OF
all the taxable property in the city,
then he Is paying exactly his proper
proportion OF the taxes that 1t has
been decided must be raised. IT, how
ever, his assessment is proportion
ately too high then he is paying too
much. On the 9th 4 hand, II his as
sessment Is too low then he Is pay
Ing too little.
NEITHER LOSS OR GAIN
"Ii property owner pays more
than his share OF taxes the city does
Tot gain thereby. Neither does the
city lose where q property owner
pay less than his fair share OF taxes.
Ia either case the city's total revenue
remains the same What happens is
that in thu first instance the taxpay-
er to some extent pays taxes that
should be paid by others. In the
stcond instance others pay taxes he
should pay.
These facts being stated 1t must
be apparent to any one that an as
sessor with any sense Of fairness. to
say nothing OF his oath oi Office, can
have no other purpose In mind than
TO SO assess all taxable property as
to cause each property owner to pay
his fair share OF the taxes-no more
and no less. This can not be done
by permitting assessments to remain
unchanged year after year regardless
of changes III values And in max
ing assessments assessors must be
controlled by some uniform stan
dard Of valuation. Otherwise II
would be impossible TO treat every
body with equal fairness.
