TAX COLLECTION SYSTEM

Hawaii ShinpO.-The management OF
the Waipahu plantation is assuredly
showing themselves open to suggestions
for the good of their laborers and will

may be made that commend themselves
70 the managers good judgment. In
the matter of collecting the poll-tax
from the japanese, for instance, the
Waipahu plantation has decided not to
wait until the tax IS due and then hold
out the whole amount, five dollars,
from the February wages. Instead, on
that plantation the amount will be
hele back one dollar from this month S
wages, and two dollars from the wages
Of January and February, thus max
ing up the amount at slight inconven-
fence TO the laborers. Such action is
commendable,s and the Shinpo desires
70 gratefully acknowledge it.
The system now inaugurated at the
Waipahu plantation is better and more
workable. we viii confess, than that
originally suggested by US, that of col
lecting the tax amount in equal
monthly instruments through the year.

lead of Waipahu, the satisfaction

Hawaii Shinpo has seOoped the press

only go on to the fact that there has
been signed a treaty between Japan
and America which will regulate coolie
immigration into this country, but will
also insure the territorial integrity of
China and open ports, but has the com
plete text of the treaty down to the
signatures of Kogoro Takahira and
Elihu Root. The scoop is complete. 1t
would be bad enough to be scooped by
a great newspaper Of recognized stand
ing; but to be beaten in this tremend-
Gus style by the Hawaii Shinpo-that
is the limit. The Shinpo has the laugh
on the rest of the newspaper world;
it has achieved a great triumph and is
now in the imelight; it will be regard
ed with envy by its jealous rivals
until the story is proved to be false.

PENSIONS FOR WORKOUT MEN
Seventy Great Corporations Make
Provision for Their Old
Employees.

One of the most significant develop
mcnts of the last ten years. says a writer
in McClure's, has been the adoption Of
pension plans by mere then seventy great
col porations. This is one of the most
tangible ways in which wage earners have
profitcd from the country's recent indus
trial prosperity. In 1898 the pension idea
was practically foreign to this country ;
now 1t is very much in the air. In that
year only one railroad, the Baltimore G.
Ohio, Systematically granted retirement al
lCwances;s since 1898 eighteen lines, repre-
senting one-third of the railway mileage
of this country. have adopted automatic
pension schemes. Ten years ago almost
none of Americas great industrial corpora
lions regularly made provision for their
old men; now the Lar gCst do so, or have
at present plans under way 10 that end,
Until 1900 pension funds had
not impressed our rich men as suitable
tubjccts for philanthropy: since then An
drew Carnegie alone has given nearly $20,-
10000 for this purpose.
The international Harvester company,
the latest to adopt the pension Idea. is one
of those corporate ~aggregations popularity
referred TO as trusts. AS with most trusts,
its management is a marvel OF intelligence
and enlightened self-interest. A survey of
the sield reveals one significant fact;
among corporations it is chiefly the trusts
and the railways that have most enthusi'

astically taken up the pension idea. Those
corporations and those captains of industrv
that have figured IN recent years most
conspicuously as the exemplars Of a plti-
less commercialism have appa. .ltIy de-
veloped the tendercst emotions toward
their broken-down employees.
Since 1903 the Standard OIL company has
generously treated its inactive men; II re-
tires them on half pay at the age of s. and
on quarter pay at 20.
Since 1900 many of the subsidiary com
panies forming the United States Steel
corporation have granted pensions; the
directors have now under consideration a
plan, which will probably become effective
next year. for an automatic pension
scheme affecting all their 2OO.O0O employees.
The unpopularity OF the Powder trust is
so great that its president was recently
Obliged to drop out of the republican ma
tionai campaign; this corporation. however.
retires at fair wages its usedup men. Those
forced to pay exorbitant rates for gas and
electricity in New York City may find
some consolation in the fact that part OF
the money goes to pension the septua-
genarian gas man. Bad as is Thomas F.
Ryan's Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany, its conductors and motormen are
able to look forward to the time when they
can retire at half pay. Even many of the
great financial houses and insurance COM
panies that have been recently subjected
