TAXES IN HAWAII.

Editor Advertiser: During the SEES

cradle number Of our taxpayers were
interested IN the proposition for in
creasing our revenue. Both IN the
public press and in private discussions
1t has been asserted that We are pay

that a further imposition means ruin.
1t is possible that our taxpayers are
overlooking the taxes which are paid
in other countries at the present time
The following is a portion of an article
appearing IN the New York Sun, dated
May 2, and IS worth careful reading.
The owners of automobiles ought TO
remember that the Hawaiian tax Is just
one-tenth of the English imposition.

that the English income tax amounted
to five per cent. for the year 1908, and

Letters rom

Editor Advertiser wish to say
that I am surprised. considering that
we have one of the finest beaches IN
the world. that, as a general tnlIlg'
so few people patronize it. Here We
have the finest facilities for swimming
and surfing that it is possible to nho'
while the temperature Of the water IS

beautiful Measure resorts that can be
found. and which one would think
would attract thousands nf people. But
To leave out the sports and the pleas
ure and beauty of the place, | would
like 10 speak more particularly OF the
healthfulness of the beach and or sea
bathing.
In the first place I would Ike TO
mention a few instances that nave
come under my own observation Wfers
some persons have derived great pens-
fiji from it. For instance, l know one
vo,,ng man who, so he believes, was
cured of consumption by bathing every
day in the sea for six months; ana L
know a poor, sickly little girl that was
brought from away back in the states
somewhere, that went away, aIter d
few months residence at the sedslue'
as rosy and strong add neallhy as
anyone could wish. There Is salo u

for few months, but | dad not see
him. / will say that | know OF rot
of pale. sickly-looking people, ana d
great many such children living rght
here. who are deprived of this health
giving pleasure. For instance, L know
one poor little mite who is the sweet
est Ioveliest little child / ever saw.
She * like some rare and beautiful hot

wind that blows, and from eyerythlng
| else that its parents think harn1ul'
but, sad to say, she seems to pe SLOWLY
wasting away. J.
| And it is the more sad because IT i

| people have any idea of the benehceh
effects Of the salt sea and sand, and o
the sun and fresh air, or OF the bene
fetal effect of some joyful exercise
and all of which can be had at tn

| I will say that it were THOUSAND
times better if the parents, or tn
mothers Of those children, would NOR
often take their little ones along an
see to it that they are not neglected
or deprived Of SO pleasant pastlm
and such healthful exercise.

upon very big estates is even greater
