TERRITORIAL BLiGARCHY.

Since when has it been the law
and the custom of Territories for the
people to turn their domestic affairs
over to certain executive officers
with the understanding that they
ore to be told nothing of the prog
Tcss Of the administration until the
deal is completed and the executive
officers are right good and ready to
AXE the public into their conf
.aucc?"
There has been more or less of it
n Hawaii -- as relic Of the days
OF the O'igarchy when We were
running Ihings" -- but nothing to
equal the folly Of the present Chief
Executives refusal tc make public
lis correspondence intended to lead
mp to the disposal of valuable public
land
II this method Or procedure Is ia
continue the Hapaa land business
will never be settled to the satisfac-
'ion Of the people during the present
administration.

The PRESIDENTS LATEST:

President Taft should be placed
among the Progressives, despite the
statement that some of the old-time
Roosevelt roOters are ready to
write him off as mollycoddle and
reaCtionary.
the income tax and the corporation
dividend tax is as radical as any
thing Roosevelt ever produced, more
radical, in fact, because 1t bids fair
to be effective.
President Taft in very brief
message points out the Importance
Of an income tax. He approves the
income tax and states plainly his
belief that the majority of the peo-
pie of the United States are in favor
Of It. lie then tells Congress that
the quickest and best way of estab-
fishing this tax is by an appeal to
the several States to secure a con-
stitutional amendment. lie reminds
the people of what a great number
had undoubtedly forgotten, that
there is now an income tax law on
the statute book. This law, once de-
Clared unconstitutional by the SUI
premC Court, has never been repeal
ed, and the bill now before Congress
amounts to merely a reiteration Of
the present law. Its only possible
value is to give the Supreme Court

LICENSE COMMISSION SECRECY.

The oahu Board of License Com
missioncrs is working the secrecy
dodge to the finish.
As a public board, 1t holds its de-
Lucrative sessions behind closed
doors, emerging on occasion TO an
nouuce to the public what has been
decided upon or possibly to listen to
the petition of some groveling son
Of the dust who humbly prays for a
few words.
The meeting at which real busi-
ness was done by the Liquor License
Commission on Thursday afternoon
was held at o'clock. This was a
secret meeting. Later public
session was held at which the posi-
ton of the Board was announced re-
Rarding the sale of liquors in res
taurants on Sundays.
The let n had already Civ
,U publicity to what the Commission
had done in its secret session. The
pogfun"tOTy affair to Inform the
PEOPLE" and had not the b u c =
tin ferreted out the secret conclave
very likely the people would have
thought they were getting 1t first
hand at 4 o'clock.
Outside the merits or dement's oil
Sunday selling of liquor the method
of the License Commission in keep
ing its sessions for deliberatlon ex'
ocutive Is utterly wrong and can ac'
compllsh no other result than laci
of public confidence.
The License Commission was ere
ated as public board. When 1t II
in session to discuss matters OF pol
icy, the people have right to bC
present at the meetings and hear thu
discussion, and know by what rea
,sOning and argument the conclu
sions of the Board are reached.
There would be just as muci
sense in the Board of Supervisors o
the city of Honolulu going into eX
ecutivc session to discuss the mum
her of officers for the police depart
ment as there Is for the secret SEES
sion of the License Commission 4

o. They don't appear to realize tina
Q Us members of the Commission the
}. are public servants.
a They have some excuse for refu'
f, ing to discuss personalities In pub
lie. There is absolutely no excus
:. for secrecy in the matter that wa
n weighed and passed at the o'cloc
1 session Thursday afternoon - tn

in Honolulu. The system Is a mi
p take. If continued It must sooner {

an opportunity to reverse itself. a
resolution calling on the executive
to enforce the present law might |
serve as good purpose.
Il is at once evident that there Is
no guarantee of the Supreme Court
reversing itself. Let the States once
declare for the constitutional
amendment. and all difficulty will
be eliminated.
After talking this good sense on
the income tax the President moves
forward to still more radical po-
sition in recommending tax on cor
poration dividends. There Is moth
ing better than his own words that
follow:
THE decision in the Pollock case
left power in the National Govern
ment to levy. an excise tax which
accomplishes the same purpose as
corporation income tax, and Is free
from certain objections urged to the
proposed income tax measure.
Il therefore recommend an amend
ment to the tariff bill imposing upon
all corporations and joint stock
companies for profit, except national
banks (otherwise taxed, savings
banks and building and loan socie-
ties. an income tax measured by 2
per cent of the net income OF such
! corporations. This is an excise tax
upon the privilege of doing business
as an artificial entity and of freedom
from a general partnership liability
enjoyed by those who own the stock.
81 am informed that a per cent
tax OF this character would bring
into the treasury Of the United
States not less than s25,0O0,000.
THE decision Of the Supreme
Court in the case of the Spreckels
Sugar Refining Company against
McClain seems clearly to establish
the fact that such tax as this Is
an excise tax upon privilege and not
direct tax on property and is with

in the Federal power without appor-
tionment according to population.
The tax on'net income Is preferable
to one proportionate to a percentage
of the gross receipts, because 1t Is
a tax on success and not failure. 1t
imposes burden at the source of
the income at time when the cor
poration is well able to pay and
when collection is easy.
Another merit of this tax Is the
Federal supervision which must be
exercised in order to make the law
effective over the annual accounts
and business transactions OF all cor
porations. While the faculty of as
Stunning corporate form has been
of utmost utility in the business
world, It is also true that substan-
TALLY all of the abuses and all of the
evils which have aroused the public
to the necessity of reform were made
possible by the use Of this very fac
ulty. If now, by a perfectly legiti-
mate and effective system of taxa
ton, we are incidentally able to
possess the Government and the
stockholders and the public of the
knowledge of the real business
transactions and the gains and pro-
fits Of every corporation in the coun.
try, we have made long step to-
ward that supervisory control of cor
porations which may prevent fur
ther abuse of power"
Effectiveness is the best term to
apply to the Presidents proposal. On
matters of constitutional dispute he
goes straight to the people for theil
conclusion expressed In the consti
tutional way. To reach the cor
porations he outlines legislation II
way that makes the average citi
zen decide that the President believes
straight line is the shortest dis
lance between two given government
tai points, so h travels that route.

Standing on the stage, In front

the pupils sang spoke and marched

The singing, under the direction
of Mrs. Brown, was excellent.
when the pupils sang "Minipo,"

the Hawaiian language very dis
