WOHEN'S VOTES PRICED.
New zeaiand's Expesienee In seventeen

The statute extending the franchise tn
New Zealand women was passed Ia lsoS.
Since then there have been six parliaments
elected by the joint votes Of the men and
women % New Zealand. In all OF these
elections. says the Worth A msrirdn RsrfsW.
the women of the country have taken their
full share.
The proporti ion 81 women who voted at
each election compared with those whose
names were on the rolls have been almost
exactly the same a. that Of the male voters
There are not at present in New Zealand
a. many women az men, and the actual
voting power Of the women IL nearly 10
per cent, less than that OF the men. Prac
tically. however. all who can do 50 eote
at each election.
The fears expressed at the time the fran
chise was given them that the result
would he either thai the women would
vRfe just a. their husbands and fathers
n them TO vote or that the new privilege
would mean dissension IN families and the
practical degradation Of the women have
not been justified by the experience.
The women OF New Zealand vote AT cleo
tions A. n matter OF course Just a. they
partake Of their meals or do any other
ordinary duty Of everyday life. The

THOSE DELINQUENT TAXES.

Boss MCCandess has interested himself in the delinquent
taxes Of Delegate Kuhio
Having his attention centeed so positively one direction
it is perhaps hardly than natural that he should forget
any record of his connection with tax denqencieS
But the tax assessor OF the district made famous by Boss
MCCandeSs operations gives the information that Boss Nc
Candies successor to poor Hawaiian on the delinquent
tax list.
As the public understands the financial strength Of the
two men, there is much less excuse for Boss McCandess
being delinquent taxes to the amount of five hundred dol
five thousand.
Boss MCCandess is credited with being possessed Of sew
era hundred thousand dollars worth of property.
Delegate Kuho by no means man of wealth nor has he
ever been.
Boss McCandIess may make the point that as member
of land hui in Wakane there reason why he should
pay his taxes the other members Of the hui do not pay
theirs " '
If he should make this claim would seem reasonable
that phlanthrops like Boss McCandess-Who can afford
to pay for the meal tickets Of delegates to his convention
should also be able and willing to advance the taxes for the
other members of the hui and hand the tax receipt to his
delinquent associates as an expression of his aloha for the
Hawaans and of his desire to assist the poor Hawaiian to
get AND HOLD piece of land.
Having failed to do this it is impossible that Boss Me-
Candess should be cassed as either phanhropist the
great friend of the poor man that he represents himself.
Taking Delegate Kuhlo at the estimate that Boss Nc
CandIess would have the people place upon him, Kuhios
denuuenCeS would not make patch on those Of the Dem
OcratiC Boss.
Delegate KIhos taxes in some instances are dein-
quent it certain that KhiO is not allowing his taxes to re-
main delinquent while he is pouring out his money by the
barrel to get himself nominated and elected to Congress.
That is what the Boss appears to be doing.
