plan, if carried through, will powerfully
discourage forestry.
The New Hampshire study has been
undertaken in the belief that it will help
solve what is undeniably knotty problem,
A forest-taxstion law which is both wise
and practica BILE is by no means easy to
draw. In Pennsylvania, a state which ap-
Importance OF foresighted action to pre-
vent non-agricuItural lands from becom-
ing worthless wastes, law passed in 1905
providing for rebate of taxes levied upon
forested lands was pronounced unconsti-
tutional by the courts because il destroyed
uniformity of taxation.
On the other hand, the state OF Michi-
gan has one-sixth of its area on the de-
linquent tax list because the land is
worthless for any purpose but growing
forests and is taxed too high to be held
by the owners for this purpose. 1t is not
easy to draft law which is worka BILE, fair
to all property owners, and in the best in
terest OF the state, as this is involved in
keeping its forest lands productive.
One OF the guiding principles to be
recognized, however, the government g
foresters point out, is that it does not pay
any community to tax one Of its produc-
tive industries out of existence. II is
much better to have timberlands pay a
low tax steadily than to have them so
numbered as lose practically all their value.
The heavy tax advocated in Maine, for
example. will probably, il carried through,
drive great deal of capital out of the
State. This capital is now invested in
standing timber. At present the owners
have shown that they wish to cut con-
servatively, protect their holdings against
fire, and plan for growing as heavy future
crops as possible on the same land.
But tax OF per cent. year on young
timber, they say, sets premium on its
destruction. powerful incentive is
given the owner to reduce the value of his
property by cutting off everything in
sight. II this is true, it will not help the
citizens of Maine in the long run to tax
heavily for short time property which
can and will quickly get away, leaving
only a waste behind.
1t is the old fable of the goose and the
golden egg over again. The forests are a
valua BILE asset to the State of Maine, not
only for the timber they grow, but also
Tor the support they give to other indus
tries, and he money they bring in through
the expenditures of sportsmen and tour
lists. Putting disguised bounty on cut
ting them off will, in the opinion of for
estry experts, lower the tax-paying power
OF the state and throw heavier burden
on the very persons who are hoping to de-
crease their present taxes by making the
wild lands pay more.
The farmer who is discontinued because
woodlands are assessed so low should
remember that he does not himself paw
taxes on standing crops, that half loaf is
peter than no bread, and that it is better
for man to ioon before ne leaps than to
ma too late that he has landed in a hole.

BURIALS IN AND ABOUT HOMO.
LULU.

Resulting from the ancient customs
prior to the introduction of civiliza-
ton, as might have been expected, we
find in Honolulu a large number Of
remains of the ancient inhabitants
buried throughout the town, and this
practise probably continued TO a COM
paratively recent date. certainly later
than the PRONUNCIATION of the Consti-
tuition of 1852 and the publication Of
the Civil Code of 1859. Within more
recent years the laws regulating
burials have been more carefully OBJ
served in Honolulu, and it is likely
that a large majority of interments
have been in cemeteries, But, as viii
be seen from the footings in the table
of the total number of interments, all
of the deaths in Honolulu since IS40
can not possibly be accounted for in
the cemeteries, making it probable
that in fact there have been many
more interments thar the committee
has estimated.
