The INCOME TAX

What Is TO become OF the income
tax amendment to the constitution?
Somehow, II IL not attracting wide
spread notice. Press associations do
not handle the news Of 1t as Of great
Importance or very wide interest, and
from the returns that are slowly
making their way to the public, there
seems every prospect that the powers
OF wealth are quietly but positively
crushing the life out of the whole
proposition.
New York's Legislature refused to
Approve the proposed amendment.
and under the title OF "A Test OF
Honor" the New York World sounds
the alarm in the following manner:
THE defeat OF the income tax
at Albany may foreshad-
ow Its rejection by the country at
large In It's present form. Tech

lions voiced by Governor Hughes.

"As you LIKE IT" 'i

College, presents that famous Shakes
pearean comedy '1s You Like It," on

The cast was selected after a very

Since Il Ia admitted that the pro-
posed amendment is clumsy in its
phraseology, why should not Con
gress correct Its blunder and resub-
init the proposition in new form?
Honestly disposed to carry out its
obligations. that body could correct
Its error in an hour and clear the

down as II now is with formidable
legal dispute. its fate Is sealed, per-
haps treacherously. in advance,
THE pending amendment was a
part of the tariff compromise of last
summer. IL was fathered by the
President and the leaders of his
party. Mr.. Tafts good faith is not
In question, but so much can not be
said OF some of his ADVISERS. II there
is any capacity for political manage
ment In Washington, II there is
enough party honesty in that quar-
ter to equip ward convention in
the gashouse district. 1t would seem
that Congress- would be compelled
very soon to submit an income tax
amendment in language of which the
meaning will admit of no disagree
ment."

NOTHING HARMFUL IN COCA.
COLA.

The past few years has seen re-
markable growth in temperance ideas
In all parts of the United States.
And as a consequence there has been
considerable falling off in the con-
sumption OF spirituous liquors. One
OF the chief substitutes for intoxicat-
ing beverages which has brought
about this change of front Is COCA
COLA. 2.
II is counted as one OF the chief
auxiliaries of the temperance move
ment. Largely on account of the
increased use of COCA-COLA. a per-
fectly harmless beverage, the soda
fountain has supplanted the saloon
In many places. COCA-COLA is now
not only made by the parent COM
pany In Atlanta, but also by branch
houses in Philadelphia, Chicago.
Dallas. Tex. and Los Angeles, Cal.
In the fall of 1907 the War De-
partment. upon representations that
had been made to 1t. issued order
directing that the sale of COCA
COLA by Army Post Exchanges he
discontinued, The CoCA-CoLA peo-
pie naturally objected to this ruling
and the War Department turned over
a sample of CoCA-CoLA to the Bu-
reau OF Chemistry of the Agricul-
tural Department for analysis. From
the chemists report 1t appears that
the beverage contains no appreciable
quantity OF alcohol; that It contains
no cocaine and but small quantity
or caffeine. The result of the inves-
tigation showed that the original Or
der OF exclusion was unjust and was
at once revoked.
Perhaps the most conclusive evil
dence that COCA-COLA is a harm
less beverage is the action taken by
the authorities In Pennsylvania. DIR.
u. II. Warren, the Dairy and Food
Commissioner Of the State, caused an
analysis to be made and reported as
result OF caseful analysis: mo CO.
caine detected"
Or. w. b. Burney, OF the Chemi-
cal Department OF South Carolina
college; DR.. w. II. Taylor, OF Rich
mond, State Chemist of Virginia;
DR., Louis Schaefer, President of the
schaefer Alkaloid Works, haywood,
N. j., a chemist of worldwide repu-
tauon, and many other eminent
chemists, agree that CoCA-CoLA is
absolutely harmless. 1t is not only
harmless. but is genuinely good to
the taste and an aid to digestion.

Good Sugar Prices.

Good Sugar Prices.
Sugar prices have remained about
the same. Centrifugals have been
very firm and very stationary at
aga. Beets have fiuctuated consid-
erably, but no weakness has been
evidenced.
Willett s& Gray's circular OF May
8, published in the Blu lett n OF
Wednesday. contained this very sig
nificant statement: The upward
turn of prompt beet sugar from las.

close being at las. 10 I'D, the high
est point OF the current campaign.

probably lcok cheap when that time

II viii be noted that las. 10 1-2d.
is the present beet quotation. and
although centrifugals still hold at
4.24. the same sugar circular draws
attention to the purchase OF Javas
for July shipment and September de-
livery at an equivalent of 400.
The same authority also predicts
that the drouth In Cuba has been so
extensive that II can not fail to eff
feet the 1911 Cuban crop.
In addition to the favorable out
look for continued high price this
year and very good one next. pri-
vate advices from Europe strength

will not be very materially increased

There Is not a man on the
list prohibition one hundred)
who can be accused of a selfish
motive In engaging in the cam
palgn to wipe the saloon out OF
existence In Hawaii" - Adver-
tiser .s.
The Blu letin " not attempt
TO pass upon the motives of the men
whose names appear on the list OF
the Prohibition committee OF one
hundred. That job would puzzle a
Philadelphia lawyer.
This paper is certain. however,
that II the gentlemen of that COM
mittee wished to enter n campaign to
wipe out the saloon in the Territory
Of Hawaii there Is absolutely no ne
cessity for them to seek the medium
of Prohibition to accomplish their
purpose. The present law OF the
Territory enables these men to close
every saloon in the Islands, IL pub
lie opinion supports their cause.
Consequently. so far as the saloon
Is concerned, while there may be no
occasion to impugn the motives OF
members OF the committee, there is
nothing to suggest superior judy
ment in their alignment with an al
legged movement for Prohibition.
- And what OF the measure of hon
iesty contained in the alleged de-
mand for Prohibition? In going
over the list Of the committee of
one hundred II is at once apparent
that there are men there who have
no idea Of becoming total abstain
els. Not few of them use as much
or more liquor than many OF the cit
liens who oppose Prohibition.
This must mean that these gentle
men do not believe and do not In
tend that the Prohibition law for
with they are supposed to be work.
ing shall prohibit. They do not an
ticipate or intend that the law shan
interfere with THEIR importation OF
liquor for private consumption. Their
philanthropy extends entirely to the
other fellow. who they are certain
needs reforming.
Thus 1t is possible to forecast at
, the outset the farce OF Prohibition.
The whole opposition has. does and
will breed hypocrisy aud deceit.
Under the Prohibition that Is pro-
posed. the total abstainers of the
committee OF one hundred may be
credited with being entirely consist
ent. The remainder on the list will
get their whiskey at the drug store.
and import their beer and wines
; from San Francisco or patronizt
various forms Of blind pigs. They are
not workers for temperance.
That style OF Prohibition may i'm
prove the morals of the town ant
decrease the death rate, and dlmin
ish evil generally, but It has not hat
that effect In other portions OF tn,
/, United states. and the Territory o.
Hawaii will be no exception.

Merchants OF the city and the
country continue to be considerably
wrought up over the order issued to
the plantation stores to sell list OF
goods at cost. As matter OF fact.
the opposition among the independ-
ents is the result of q steadily in
creasing feeling that many OF the
large plantation interests are going
into the merchandise business to
an extent that will eventually run
the independent Honolulu wholesaler
and retailer out of business. Not a
little private correspondence between

ton and members of the Merchants
Association has been carried on in

cost order merely In some instances
barred an old sore.
