THE SCHOOL
COMMISSION
MAKES REPORT

Yesterday afternoon the School
Commission, which was appointed
nearly two years ago by Governor
Frear, filed it's report with the Gov
ernor.
The report is a voluminous one and
contains nearly two hundred pages.
There are some valuable hints in It,
and plans that would make for an
excellent school system are sketched
out in the report. For the upkeep Of
the schools, the Commissioners ad-
vocate the imposition of a tax on
real and personal property, supple
mented by fifty per cent of the in
come from public lands and water
leases and the setting aside as a Sc
parate fund the money derived from
the personal school tax, which now
goes into the general realizations Of
the Territory. The public schools
should be the first care of the legisla-
ture, and if the taxes were levied in
a way to meet the legitimate require
ments of the Department, then the
children would have secured to them
an adequate teaching force, with
thoroughly equipped and up-to- date
schools. Warnings are uttered
against the possibility of sacrificing
the interests of both teacher and pu-
pill by failure to recognize the value
of education.
The Commissioners declare that
there is a large element both openly
and covertly declaring that too much
education is being given the children
of lowly birth. In regard to the pro-
posed tax on real and personal pro-
perty the following is said
"a levy of as many mills on the
dollar of real property and person
al property as may be necessary tc
meet the difference btwen the sun
called for under the general fund of
the school budget and the total oi
the school personal tax, the public
lands income and any other perman.
ent sources of income devoted to pu-
bic schools. For instance, if the
general fund of the school budge
called for 100000, 100000 Nigh
be secured from the personal tax
$25O,OOO from the fifty per cent o
the income on public lands, leaving
S450,00O to be raised by a specific
tax of three mills on the dollar es
timating the assessed value of tn,
real and personal property at $3.50,
100000.
1t is suggested that permanent
fund be formed for the support o
schools, comprising donations of lanC
or other income-bearing property.
The salaries of teachers and othe
officials to be obtained under an ac
authorizing continuous appropriations
The Commissioners in their sugges
tons for raising taxes, have in view
the idea of securing revenue from tn,

who have none of the responsibilities
of citizenship, but whose children

been subjected to precisely the same
political or governmental conditions.
Industrially the cost of cultivating,

acre, which increase is probably about
Offset by the comparatively greater
sugar content of the ripened beet;
their available sugar content being
from 10 to II per cent, against 8 to
9 per cent in that of cane. But the
beet sugar manufacturers, from a ma
terial more difficult and costly to work
than cane, produce a sugar of quality

of the splendid growth of the beet SUI

years passed the century-old cane SUI
gar industry, lay in the quantity and
the quality of the labor devoted to it.
Attention has been cahed repeated

a decade; that cause lying chiefly in
the diminution or lack of increase in

A report sent out from Germany on
August 26 contained the following:
During the past week the weather
has been quite favorable for the beet
crop. On Friday light rain fell, but
the rest of the week has been dry,
with rather high temperatures. These
conditions ave been highly favorable
for the maturing of the crop and the
the increase of the sugar content,

FLOOD OF CIGARS

When the regulation was made at
Washington raising the embargo off
Philippine cigars coming to Honolulu,
under bond not to be shipped to the
Coast, it was predicted that these
islands would soon be flooded with
cheap Manila smokes. And that very
thing is happening. By the Chiyo,
the first boat arriving after the new
rule went into effect, there reached
this port seventy-two cases, of 10,-
600 each, or a total of 100000 cigars
of the cheap variety; and it is re-
ported that this is small lot" COM
pared to the number awaiting ship
ment at Manila. 1t now looks as though
cigars will soon be even cheaper on
the Honolulu market than they were
prior to annexation when there was
no duty.

If the stock market Saturday and
yesterday brought surprises, even old
veterans of the business must have
sat up and taken notice" at the situa-
tion this morning. II was felt in some
quarters yesterday that the hammer
ing process had probably worn itself
out, and that the particular stocks, be-
ing attacked would be left alone for
the time being But such was by no
means the case.
In Oahu, for instance, there was
further, sweeping decline. Yester
day bidding closed at $50 bid and $780,
% asked, and between boards 10, 5,
80, IS, % and 10 shares sold at 500
On the board this morning even $50
could not be had for the stock and it
was offered at $29 .S75, with no takers.
At the close $29 80 was being offered.
Another wild plunge was taken by
Waialua,- and this stock is left almost
where it was nearly a year ago. Yes
terday Waialua closed at S120 80 bid
and $122 SO asked. Afterward, on
the street, 10 and 80 shares changed
hands at $120. This morning, how
ever, came the big slump, when five
shares sold at sir so. followed by 5
more at Sill. At the close bidding

hundreds of thousands of an intelli-

and furnish them to the factories in

dered and needed. With a labor sup.
ply of like quality and quantity ap.

of the cane crop, Louisiana alone
would be today far exceeding the pre-
sent annual production of all of the
beet sugar states combined.
It possesses the soil within the linn

would be an accomplished fact within
a very few years.-Louisiana Planter
