Dredging work at Pearl Harbor is not
only going ahead steadily but will be
rapidly increased in the near future.
The dredgers Governor and Reclamation
are already at work on projecting points
IN the proposed channel-way, and the
dredger Pearl, which has been under
going reconstruction will be sent down
from Honolulu this week and put to
work on another point. The new big
clam shell dredger is practically in the
finishing stages and this will also be
put to work, probably close to the bar
or entrance.
The company has also sublet two of
the points to San Francisco firm and
the big dredger Pacific, which was used
on the Honolulu harbor contract a few
years ago, will be sent down here from
the Coast to dig. The Pacific is a sea-
going vessel and had great power as
dredger. This indicates that in a few
weeks five dredgers will be grinding
away at the coral reefs which obstruct
the present channel. The aggregate
result of all this work is to make a
channel almost straight from the bar
est portions of the work will be to cut
off section of Waipio Point.
1t has generally been understood that
only 100000 was appropriated to start
the big job, but additional information
runs this amount up to close to mil
lion that is available to meet the vouch-
ers of the dredging company. After
the million is used up, Congress is ex-
peeted to appropriate amounts to meet
additional vouchers until the contract
price, which is between two and three
millions, has been worked out.

Leave Tea and Coffee Untaxed.

In the multitude of propositions adj
vanced to increase the income of the
United States, which will fall far behind
the expenses of the current fiscal year,
there is a suggestion that tea and coffee
be put on the dutiable list. The Repub-
lican party once made strong appeal
to the people in favor of free break
fast table" 1t can not very consistently
turn its back upon its own record
So far as coffee is concerned, il is
true. there are elements in the situation
at present which did not exist when the
breakfast table was made exempt from
taxation. Today the United States has
lnsular possessions on the east and the
west, and from both of these there is a
request that a duty of 5 cents Il pound
be laid upon coffee not connected in any
way with the United States. The Phil
ippine coffee growers, it is under
stood, are anxious for the same aid, ar
Suing that they need it because OF the
setback they have received from the sp-
pearance of d parasite whose depreda-
tons, however, are now no longer
feared. The export duty imposed on
coffee by Brazil is urged as a reason for
rctaliatOry tactics by the United States,
though why the fact that Brazil has put
an arbitrary tax on the consumer Of cof-
fee should be looked upon as an incen-
tive to the United States to do the
a conundrum that even a Hawaiian mil
lionaire plantation owner might find it
difficult to answer
SO far as the tariff system of the Unit
ed States is concerned. it would be well
to modify it wherever it imposes bur
denS upon the people of the new posses
sions; but to establish for their benefit
a protective duty which American con-
sumers would have to pay would be as
stupid as refusing them free entry to
American markets is unjust.
There is reason for believing that the
most powerful influence in favor of tax
ing tea and coffee is domestic, and
wholly selfsh-that the suggestion comes
from importers who have large stocks
on hand and who think that the value
of these would be enhanced if a duty
were laid upon imports. Some close OBJ
servers believe that the Porto Rico and
Hawaii lobbyists are merely stool
pigeons for these shrewd importers.
It is always bad policy to lay taxes
on articles of daily consumption, where
of the working classes contribute the
majority of purchasers. This tends to
enhance the cost of living, and thereby
operates in antagonism to the extension
of the country's trade. 1t was largely
because of this argument that the extra
tax placed on beer to meet the expense
of the war with Spain was removed
soon after that war had ceased. Tea
and coffee are beverages which by many
people are regarded as necessaries of
life Tea affords 1.-The cup that cheers,
but not inebriates. Coffee is eXhilarat-
ing without being intoxicating. Used
in excess either may do harm to the
nerves; but both are blessings to the
world, and wel-nigh Indispensable to
civilization. The people of the United
States would not approve the taxing of
tea or coffee. Let there be economy in
expenditure, and if additional taxes must
be laid let them fall on what is delete
rious or superfuous.
