houses, who have purchased auto
trucks since then.
The 1912 Models of the Pope.Hart.
ford automobiles are attracting un-
usual attention just at present, owing
to the magnificent cars that these
people are turning out this year. Ev-
erybody knows of the great wearing
qualities and the enormous speed
which the Pope Hartford has always
made a speciality Of The great power
of the Popes is a very much appre-
ciated feature and a virtue which
leads many people to purchase these
very popular cars When one realizes
that Pope never has to make a run
at hill, they commence to appreciate
the real value of high-class automo-
bile. The three-duarter elliptic springs
and the exceptionally high-class finish
are very predominant features this
year which show up with marked value
when considered along the lines Of
other inferior grades of cars.
Previous and present owners of
Pope-Hartford machines are the best
advertisements that the Pope could
possible have, as they are so excep-
tionall enthusiastic over the predomi-
nant features of the Pope cars.
The Won Hamm-Young Company re
ceived by the S. China one of the
Buick stake body trucks which are
so popular in the islands. This is a
different type of body to the others
which have arrived recently, being
of lighter and a more spacious plat
form. This truck is on display at the
big sales room of The Won Hamm-
Young Company, and is attracting a
great deal of attention. There are
more Buick trucks in use in the Ha-
waiian Islands than of any other
make of light trucks and they are al
doing excellent work. some of which
have been running for the last three
years. This is an excellent record and
should serve to convince anyone of
the great reliability of the Buick cars

These figures should certainly con-
vince the most sceptical minded peo-
pie as to the great advantage of the
motor truck as applied to modern com
mercialism. In this country where
horses and mules are bringing such
very high figures and the death rate
is so very high the efficiency of a
motor truck should be well looked
into by every business house which re-
quires transportation of any kind.
In every case where an up-to-date
business house or concern has pur-
chased an auto truck which was up
to-date and high-class it has never
discarded it. Amongst the biggest
business houses on the mainland it
has become proverbial that the pur-
chase of one auto truck leads to
duplicate orders Immediately. And the
duplicate order is for a quantity, as
a rule. This has become such com
mon practice that the Packard Car
Company have issued a special guam
tity discount which deals with or

The Won Hamm-Young Company
have just received advices from the
Packard Motor Car Company, giving
statistics of the cost of operation of
3-ton motor truck. These are the
most valuable and the most important
figures ever presented to the Homo
lulu public. The merchants in Homo
lulu who are contemplating the pur-
chase of big truck have been seek
ing this information for a long time
The advices go on to say that a
Packard truck is two dollars a day
cheaper when there is nothing to haul.
The greatest value of a Packard
truck is in its efficiency, whereby haul
ing service is Improved and whereby
money is often saved, and the great
est efficiency is obtained by running
the trucks with full loads as much of
the time as possible.
When a Packard truch stands still,
operating expenses cease and only
fixed charges continue. In computing
the fixed charges of a truck, account
ants now use the amortization plan.
This gives a diminishing principle as
basis for computing interest each
succeeding year:
The Fixed Charges on Packard 3-Ton

Mr.. Bishop toward the political
changes was two-fold. To him the old
institutions we're full of pleasant
memories; the former Queen had been
the companion and relative of his late
wife and a beneficiary Of her will; he
knew and was the friend Of the old
natives, royal and common; the land
was full of institutions which he and
the late Princess Bernice had built up
with the favor of the crown. These
circumstances must have given him a
sentiment averse to the new order of
things, but his practical mind saw at
the same time that only by annexation
Of the islands to the United States
could they be protected from foreign
aggression and assured of the free
trade with the American mainland
which was essential tn their prosper
ity On the side of sentiment he was
for the independence of the group; on
the side of safety and commercial
stability he was for the annexation
policy which the provisional and re-
Publican governments stood for. So
he took, no active part in the contro.
versy except that, when the first an
nexation commission went to Wash
ington, he followed with view of do
ing what he could, in the event of a
treaty, to get the Queen and her heir
the Princess Kaiulani, money compen-
sation for their loss.
MIR. Bishop had been previously urg
ed to work at Washington in favor of
a protectorate for Hawaii, instead of
complete annexation, but after con-
sulting John w. Foster and other
American publicists he declined to do
so on the ground that the United
States would not be responsible for
the acts of any government it could
not control.
MIR. Bishop has no business inter
ests in Hawaii now but watches the
advance of prosperity there with a
satisfaction which proves his contin-
ued loyalty to the old home. He be-
lieves in sugar as the mainstay of all
Hawaiian industries and, while well
coming every worthy effort to diversi-
fly agriculture, does not think that
other crops will be more than sub
sidiary to the great staple which has
built up Hawaii into the richest coun-
try, per capita, in the world.
In Calm Retirement.
The venerable fnancier is no longer
active, though he keeps an eye on the
great enterprises, educational and
pnilanthropic, which were founded in
Hawaii by his wife, the Princess Ber-
nice, and himself, and attends to the
formal duties which devolve upon him
as vice-president of the Bank of Cali
fornia. For the rest, his time is spent
in cheerful waiting and in contempla-
ton of life which has harmed no one
and which has aided and encouraged
hundreds if not thousands to help
themselves along the way and make
the most of. their Unborn talents.

and Queen Emma. The King and
Queen personally canvassed Honolulu
for subscriptions and secured enough.
The next year, 1860, the hospital was
opened to the public. Eventually Mr..
bishop built a wing for its enlarge
ment, and, few years ago, he added
$4,000 to the endowment, which was
used, with other money, to construct

than the original main building. Four

his banking business, from which Mr..
Aldrich his partner, eventually re.
signed. S. NJ. Damon and John Patty
later came in as partners, and some

mon bought out the business. Mr..
Bishop was growing DID, he was u,
and he felt the need of the more in
vigorating climate Of San Francisco.
He already had interests here and was
stakeholder of long standing in the
Bank of California, and he felt that
he could find in this atmosphere and
in fresh undertakings a longer lease
of life.

WANT POLICE PROTECTION
Circus People Want Police Protection
When kongo, Big Elephant,
is UnlOaded.

The circus people have requested
the mayor, chief of police and city
council to give them police protection
during the unloading of Kongo-the
huge elephant just imported from In
dia. He is unloaded about six O'Clock
each morning. Is considered very
dangerous, and if proper officials are
present there will be no danger of
anpone being injured. They have
also requested that all traffic upon
streets to the circus grounds, over
which "Kongo" will have to travel,
will be suspended during the hours
of six and seven in the morning. In
the event the big beast would meet
team of horses, a cow, dog, or some
animal not known to him, he might
prove too much for the ten keepers
who are employed to guard and fight
him. He is heavily chained and ev-
cry precaution is taken with the big
beast. ''Kongo" has elephant instinct
however and will accept peanuts from
menagerie patrons and is seemingly
very happy when in the menagerie
tent with the other animals. Butler,

State Highway Engineer Curtis
Hill has been invited to be present

THE SINGLE TAX.

Republished by request from our issue o
March p, 1912.
We can see no possible good which
might come to the people of Missouri
from the application of the proposed
single tax amendment.
On the other hand, under the pro.
visions providing for its adoption,
great harm could easily and probably
would result.
Its very theory, placing all the bur-
den of taxation upon one class of
property, is manifestly unjust and un-
reasonable. There is no more reason
why the real property should bear
the entire burden of taxation than the
personal property and to tax only
personal property would be howled
down by the single takers Of Missouri
as utterly ridiculous. The assessed
valuation of farm lands in Bates
county for the year 1910 was Sc, $685.
GA, the personal property So, 693, ia,
or more than one-third Of the valua-
ton of the farm lands. By compar-
ison of the figures it may be readily
seen that under the single tax theory
the owners of real estate must bear
the burden Of taxation approximately
80 1-3 per cent. greater than they are
now paying in order to raise the
same amount of revenue.
Further, the ownership of real es-
tate does not necessarily signify
wealth. On the other hand, bank
stock, notes, money and bonds do in
dictate accumulated property. ST.
O84, 1871, or nearly one-half of the as
sessed valuation of Bates county's
personal property, is in bank stock,
money, notes and bonds, substantial
evidence of wealth which should
justly bear its portion Of taxation.
Is there any reason why the farmer
or small real estate holder should pay
not only his own taxes but those Of
his richer neighbor whose wealth is
safely invested in securities?
