A DAY OFF

A laughable incident occurred at the
road departments Office this morning.
Yesterday afternoon the road commit
tee of the Board of Supervisors noti-
fled Supervisor Cummins that, in view
of the bad weather, the road work
men might be laid off today and I'M
til the weather improved. Hearing OF
this some wag constructed the usual
mourning notice out of a pair Of black
pants and tied the same on the two
doors of the road office. That was
enough. This morning the laborers,
hearing of the crepe" on the door
took it for granted that there was no
thing doing in the way of work and
proceeded to clay Off" AS the morn
ing dawned bright and fair, however
it was desired to put in a days work
An hour was spent in rounding uI
the celebrating laborers and things
then went merrily on.

After referring at length to Gould

speaker came down out of the air and
said that he had attended a number OF
meetings of Honolulu's commercial
bodies and had enjoyed them very
much.
Although he did not exactly say so,
the speaker left the impression that he
favored Portugal as the best field for
labor There were more negroes in

Portuguese in all the world Brazil and

there was no possible danger of dam

becoming more particular about how
their public affairs should be conduct
ed. The times demanded that we put
as much intelligence in the running of

run it, as is done in private BUSINESS.
Upon concluding the speaker was
given a hearty round of applause.

INCOME TAX

II do not believe that the great
trainers of The consultation, the men
who were framing a government for
the people, OF the people, and by the
people, intended that all the taxes Of
this Government should be placed up
on the backs OF those who toll, upon
consumption, while the accumulated
wealth of the Nation should stand ex-
empt, even In an exigency which
might involve the very life Of the Ma
tion ITSELF"
This is the logical statement of
Idaho's junior senator when he de-
livered his great speech in the United
States senate chamber nthe subject
Of an income tax as a means of rails
4ng revenue for the maintenance Of
government. That address will be
recorded in history as one of the
great efforts of a master mind, from
one who came out of the West into
the councils OF a nation to contribute
OF his knoledge and efforts for the
betterment of governmental condi-
tions. Learned in the law, and skill
cd in the Interpretation OF the nat
ional constitution, Senator Bocab
knew the meaning OF his language
when he spoke the above words in
defense OF the income tax The bur-
den OF government rests on those who
toll, from the laborer, who earns
bis living by the sweat Of his brow 70
The business man and professional
ran in thu Ordinary walks Of ll!e.
The man OF wealth has escaped in too
many instances his share Of taxation.
He may be reached by the income tax
law and Ia able 10 meet the obligation
without feeling II as a burden.

have this faculty. Napoleon Bona

able to sleep and waken at will, and
Secretary Knox can throw himself
down on lounge and sleep for half
an hour or any time he likes. IL he
wants to catch an early train he can
waken himself at Q o'clock or at b

possible for him to explain how he
does It.
He Is an early riser by habit. He Is
usually up at 0 o'clock in the morning
