RELATING to Much Discussed Subject

Relating to Much Discussed Subject
In its issue of some days since the
Bennington Banner discusses taxation
reform in reply to the News com
ments. The article has been held for
an opportunity to publish 1t in full
but other matter has crowded it out
of the necessarily limited space at the
command of the News. 1t can only
take up at this time it's closing para
graph After disclaiming in sub
stance any intention OF intolerance of
the opinions of others on the subject
it says:
"The individual opinion OF the Ban
ner is something like this: 1t is pro
bale that there is as much and per-
haps more property that escapes tax
alton as there is taxed and a great
share of this untaXed half is much
more profitable TO its owners than is
the half that now bears all the bur
den. We should like to see this UNI
taxed half brought into the list. This
would tremendously reduce the rate
of taxation, cutting it down one half,
and the state could then in good heart
enter upon an effort at equalization
and exact justice and at the same
time knowing that mistakes and in
dividual wrongs in taxation will al
ways exist until the Golden Rule fin
ally and forever supplants the con-
stitution and statutes"
The News is glad to agree with the
above sentiment. Now then. how
could a better start have been made
in getting at the tax dodgers than
through the bill introduced in the last
legislature by the late John L. Bacon?
Getting the taxable property as far as
possible into the grand list would GER
tainly have been long step towards
finding out what was needed in the
way of more general equalization.
But some Of the men in the legisla-
ture whom we look to as experienced,
broad-minded citizens would have
nothing of the kind: they had their
own plan and if those could not be
carried out they were agin' any
changes in the present law. 1t is well
enough for the Banner to remember
that a man may be successful, even
eminent in his own profession, be it
engineering, law, education. insur-
ance or other callings and yet lack
the experience and qualifications
necessary to work out just and prac-
teal taxation laws
It is also possible that men with ac-
knowledged high ability in their pro-
LESSONS and regarded as broadminded
are in fact just as selfish on some
points at least as many other less
pretentious individuals 1t Is well TO
keep all these things in mind when
discussing a subject of such wide con-
Germ as the taxation question.

DAMON LOSES DOGS.
: IN A STRANGE WAY
TAKE PLUNGE INTO OAHU PLAN
TATIoN POOL AND ARE SUCKED
INTO FLUME.

Fred. B. Damon lost his two, fine,
pointer dogs by drowning in fiume
near Oahu plantation a few days ago.
The accident was q most remarkable
one, and suggests the Importance of
guards over pools from which heavy
pumping is done.
Damon had gone down to Jordan's
pineapple ranch for a day OF hunting
and was out with his three dogs-the
third animal being d puppy who stay
ed close in. In the big gulch beyond
the Oahu plantation is a narrow, long
pool from which water is pumped into
the fumes and carried upward, over
and onto the cane land. The pool is
open. Shortly after he had passed the
pool. Damon missed one of his dogs.
At first he thought little of it, but
as the dog still failed to show up he
finally became uneasy and turned back
to look for him.
The return was made to the pool,
without result Damon suspected then
that the pool had something to do
with the dogs appearance, as he had
seen the heated animal take a plunge
into it on the first visit, The hunter
went on, but had not gone a great
distance when he discovered that his
second dog was missing.
This was too much. 1t now dawned
fully upon Mr.. Damon that both OF
his dogs had plunged into the pool
near the flume and had been sucked
into it.
The hunter hurried up ana over the
hill to a point where the ftume dis
charges it's water into the cane field
and there, sure enough, found the boz
dies of both dogs piled up with the
sand.
The fiume pipe is about two or two
and half feet in diameter, and the
force of suction in the pool is, as can
be easily figured very great. The
dogs, on leaping into the pool, were
doubtless drawn directly into the
fume, before they themselves realiz-
ed the danger.
Mr.. Damon had had these dogs six
years, both being of the same litter
They were of fine breed and well train
ed
Speaking of the matter this morn
ing, Mr.. Damon suggested the impor.
lance of covering or railing all such
pools on the plantations. There is
rot only danger of fine dogs getting
into them, but it is a trap for chill
dren who, as likely as not, might fan
cy a swim in them.

MOTORCYGLING As
A SAFE PASTIME

The April number of The Motor
cycle News contains lengthy and
entertaining writeup of the recent
wheel meet at Dayton, Fla, a place
having a spring climate similar to
that of Honolulu A number of the
Worlds best motorcycle speeders took
part in the Dayton program, and sew
eral records We're broken. The fol-
lowing is said of a five mile run or
Goerke, who rode a Z hip. machine:
Five miles was ridden straight away
by Walter Goerke in the phenomenal
time of $50 1-5, which is equal to
about sc miles an hour, a speed which
1t is believed has never been equaed
by any motorcycle in the world.
OF motorcycling, as instanced in the
experience of Stubs, the paper says:

MOTOR RACES ON
KAMEHAMEHA DAY

Motorcycle riders of the city are
planning a program of their own to
follow the Marathon race of the Y M.
c. A. on June II, the stunts to be
pulled off at Kapiolani park track.
The calculation now is that the Y.
NJ. C. A. race will be over before
O'Clock, which will leave time for Sc
vera events.
One of the races talked of is TWEEN
ty mile go between James Herrick,
on his 5 hip. Indian, and Samuel X.
C'Rudy'D Berger, riding a h.p Read
ing Standard. Those who have follow
ed these men in their tryouts say that
they will make the distance in close
TO twenty minutes.
Other races planned are a one mile,
five mile and ten mile fly. There
is also talk of match race between
Rhodes YaleCalifornia and Sammons'
Harley-DavidsOn, both of these being
belt machines. There is also talk OF
a potato race of a mile, in which each
rider must stop at every quarter, dis
mount pick up a potato and slide off
again. Starting and stopping at such
frequent intervals is extremely wear
ing, forming the greatest hardship to
the race.

JACKSON ACCEPTS
KAOO CHALLENGE

Nigel jackson stated last night that
he would accept the challenge of Kaoo,
the "Waialua horse for a Marathon
run to or from Wa!alua, neither con-
testant to receive a rub down or re-
freshments during the race.
Kaoo Cor his friends) issued what
purported to be a challenge through
a paper some days ago, carrying with
it the conditions which Jackson states
that he will accept. Jackson is look
ing, however, for a chance to make
$3.50 out of the run.
Jackson is at present training two
of the young men who have entered
for the Y. M. c. A. Marathon on June
II. OF Carey, one of the runners be-
ing coached by him, he says: Carey
is as promising a young runner as l
ever say, and he will be heard from
in the coming race. He ran twelve
miles yesterday at a seven minutes
clip, and if he can keep up anything
like that in the race he will win han

KIRK PORTER MAY
WIN TOMORROW

The fifth shoot of the Hawaiian Gun
Club in the present match will take
place tomorrow afternoon, and it is
more than an even chance that Kirk
B. Porter will win and capture the
prize. He has already won two legs on
the prize, and the character of his
shooting of late has been such that
only bad break can keep him out.
If Porter does win, the series will
be cut much shorter than had been
anticipated; but it is just as well, as
the new device is at hand, or will be
in, few days, and a new style of
shooting will be in order.

PUNS AND KAMS IN
VERY TIGHT CAME

The baseball go between the Puma

from start to finish and resulted in
quite a low score. Those who went
there expecting to see the Kams wipe
up the earth with the collegers were
disappointed. however, for the bull

feature of the game was the heavy
start of the Kamehamehas. They
made one run in the first innings and
had men on the bases when the side
retired. When this was folode by
a shut out for the Puns, the sympa-
thizers of the visitors broke loose in
roar of applause. Goose eggs fol-
lowed in the second innings, but the
Punahous started in the third with
one run. This Embossed the applause
on the other side.
From the third innings on to the
end of the ninth the Kamehamehas
were held as within a wise. They could
not make a single run, nor could they
get near it. The Punahous, ON the
other hand, kept piling up one after
another until they had four in the
| last half, and the game was pau.

RICHMOND AND LOCAL OPTIC,

A number OF business men in Rich
mond are pursuing a rather novel,
and IN our Judgment an utterly iDei-
iective course, TO prevent the hold
ing of q local option election In that
city. Some $50 OF them have signed
q petition TO call massmeetiDg to
protest against the holding Of such
an election. How can any such &C
tion or any action indeed ON the
part o, any part OF Richmond's pop
ulation forestsll local option cleo
tion2 The statute under which such
elections are inaugurated is manda-
tory upon the Judge of the Circuit or
Corporation court. IL says:
whenever such OF the qualified
voters OF each msgisterial district in
q county or any magisterial district
In a county, or Of a city, as shall be
equal In number TO one-fourth OF the
number OF persons voting in the pre-
~ ~ II 'AAo~
trict, county or corporation shall. in
term or vacation, petition the Judge
OF the Circuit or Corporation court
OF such county or corporation for a
special election in such district, coun-
~ or corporation on the question Of
granting or not granting a liquor II
cense therein, such court or Judge
shall issue a writ OF election therein,
&c, fixing the day for holding such
election" Richmond, therefore, can
not exempt herself from the tide
which Is sweeping the State by any
means unless the necessary one
fourth, as above indicated, fail to
sign the petition for an election.
She might as well stand up and
take her medicine as other communi-
ties have done.
When the fight Is over, II we are to
judge the result by past performances
OF the Anti-Saloon League, look out
for q dry Richmond.
