FEW DISBURSEMENTS
On TAX ASSESSMENTS

There viii be few tax appeal eases
this year, Acting Treasurer Hemenway
having met with much success in ad,
justing matters to the satisfaction of
the Territory and the tax paying public.
In years past much litigation, some of
it prolonged, has been oceasioned be-
cause of the tax assessments, but this
year will be distinguished by its free,
dom from recourse to the court, for a
settlement of disputes.
Hawaii is the only island from which
tax appeal eases are expected this year
and the probable eases are not numer-
Gus. The Hilo Mercantile Company and
the Kohala Railroad assessments will
probable come up for determination and
number of questions are involved.
The tax appeal court members of the
Hilo district and Kauai have been re-
appointed by Governor Frear, the Hilo
men who will again serve being E. w.
Barnard, w. Mckay and R. T. Guard.
The Kauai arbitrators are G. S. Dole,
j. III. Moragne and J. Fl. K. Kaiwa.

VARIETIES Of CORN FLOWER.
Three Hundred and Fifty Different
Specimens In Existence, Accord.
Ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower
as national institution many years
ago, the adoption coming about mere
iy by way of a popular choice. 1t Is
a common flower all over Europe, but
rather more prolific in Germany than
in any other of the countries gsaced
by it.
Botanists tell us that there are no
less than $50 varieties Of the corn
flower to be found, but the plant that
is found in profusion in the realms
Of the kaiser is said to be the most
beautiful of all. The Germans admire
it for the richness of it's wreath-like
circle of outer forets and the splen-
doris of its deep azure tints as it opens
to the sun.
At one time German scientists at
tributed certain medicinal properties
to the corn flower, and its blue bios
hons were used also to some extent
in domestic dyeing, but latterly these
properties are not so much credited
to it.
Although Germany lays claim to
the finest of the species. America may
boast also of some beautiful speci
mems Of the corn flower. 1t Is said
to have been brought to this country
first in the ballast of ships in the
days antedating the modern ocean
flyer, which carries only water bal
last. In this country it is variously
known as the Bachelors Button
Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thin
bles, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

A MILLION REVIEWERS.

Six great corporations, most of them
and the best of them here in New
England, and perhaps a dozen smaller
concerns. are engaged in the manufac
ture of revolvers. One of the six has
turned out 2,25DO0U revuivets since
1S72-the larger proportion during the
more recent years. OF the other five
leaders two have made a larger num-
Der; one, about as many; the other
two, slightly fewer. Taking all these
with the lesser folk, it would be well
within the mark to say that we have
manufactured 25,000,000 revolvers with
in thirty-five years or SO, and that the
present demand calls for 100000 a
year.
Now what do we do with million
reyolvers a year? Where in all Amer
lea do conditions exist demanding the
annual arming with deadly weapons of
a million persons? Some revolvers are
bought and laid away in the dresser
drawer as defence against possible bur-
glars. Generally when the burglar

"yELvE1" PROFITS.

The essence of a franchise is the
right to do business. Let's do not be-
come confused as to what a franchise
is for it is something that the people
of every town are frequently asked to
vote to someone. Tninformed and
more or less unhusinesslike persons are
wont to speak Of a franchise as some
thing of untold value for which the
municipality ought to be paid. or which
ought TO be taxed or which, if voted al
all, should be voted only to special
friends Franchise values are dis
cussed as tho they We're wheat in the
pit
Franchises do have values, to be
sure and some of them are valued
enormously high but in all cases their
values are good will value They are
the value placed upon the opportunity
to earn profits in excess of a fair re-
turn upon the actual money invested
in the public utility. They represent
people who have failed to bring the
rates for service down to the figure of
fair return upon investment.
! State statutes have recognized the
/ principle of franchise values in provi-
sions for municipal ownership which
now prohibit earnings from sale of wa
l., ;rJ -<,s -
/ funds The intent is to keep the rates
on water down to the figure of cost of
operation, plus depreciation plus sink
ing or bond fund. In the case of a
municipal plant the men who buy the
bonds invest all the capital. When the
earnings have paid them their interest
and have provided for retirement OF
the bonds there are no individual own
ers to rake off profits above a fair re-
turn on actual investment. There is
no franchise value. The city has sim.
ply retained for itself the right to dc
business.
And so it should be with all fran,
chises. People can we'll afford to vot'
franchises to owners of public utilize
if they will keep the rates down to TIL
point of fair return on actual invest
ment, and insure proper service an
reasonable extension of equipment
Talk of voting away valuable fran
ehises which somebody can walk OF
with and sell without cost to himsel
is idle if the rates are so adjusted tina
there are no velvet" profits. TIL
franchise will then not contain call
: ed franchise value, it will remain onl
the right to do business. The LATTER

: the three balls and one baby" stree
game and to the carnival at ever

there need be no worry about who get

STOP THE DRUG CURSE.

dubuque Telegra ph-Herald.l
On general principles the American
people are opposed to too much pa
ternalism on the part of the govern
ment, and there is danger in that di-
rection. But it must be conceded that
prohibition and regulation by the fed
eral government are very different
from those forms of restraint when
they are put into use by the states.
Counterfeiting would be common If
the states had it to deal with; but
when the government goes after the
maker of bogus money it rarely fails
to run him down and to send him to
the penitentiary for a long term.
Under state laws the sale of dam
gerous drugs has grown alarmingly
and the victims of the opium, cocaine,
morphine. and choral habits have
multiplied. The government can put
up the bars against these and other
evils and keep them practically out OF
the country; but encei admitted they
are distributed generally. 1t is stated
that the federal government intends to
do more than it has ever done to de-
crease the sales of these wreckers. The
government will go further and try tt
induce other governments to check the
abominable business that they engage
in, or wink at, for the profit there is in
it. No reform was ever more badly
needed. Stop the importation of the
curse so far as possible and then hold
every person who handles it to strict
account BY the cooperation of the
government and the authorities of the
state traffic can be so far reduced that
it will be comparatively harmless.
