MORE lBO0T THE FROETA6E.TlI

A correspondent in a letter published else
where today calls attention to the remarkable
benefits obtained in California under the front
age-tax plan Of local Improvement. Richmond,
thriving young municipality, has literally
pulled itself out of mudhole. Honolulu, fol-
lowing the same plan, should pull itself out OF
the chuck-holes that now plentifully adorn
main-trayeIled streets.
In California the property directly benefited
pays its share Of the cost of improvement. This
same principle should obtain down here. It will
probably be found that some property not front
ing on the street to be improved is directly bene-
fitted by the improvement. To determine the ex-
tent Of the district subject to special tax will be
no small Job, but what other cities have done,
surely Honolulu can do.
Honolulus needs in the way of schools, city
hall, q city hospital, new fire-houses, extension
of the hydrant system, extension of the police
and hre-alarm box systems, development of the
water, sewer and stormdrain systems, TO mem
tion only q few of the most pressing wants
make it imperative, as Senator Judd has pointed
ont, that property benefited by special street i'm
proyements pay for its proportion Of the benefits
If there is a supervisor or a private citizen
with any other proposal for financing the Great
er Honolulu, let him arise and speak.

Sir: The attention of lawmakers,
playwrights and even journalists
might well be asked to recent state
ment Of Karl Pearson. head OF the
Gallon laboratory of the University
Of London. Pointing out that the
ideal Of the founder Of eugenics was
racial betterment by the scientific
study OF heredity and environment,
and then by popular movement en-
phasizing the national importance Of
these factors and urging their consid-
Grafton by legislators and social re-
formers, ne went on to say that before
his death Sir Francis Cation was de-
pressed by the failure to perceive
that much scientific progress must be
made before men started rashly to
apply conclusions. Years of patient
work.. says Mr.. Pearson, sin medico-
social observation and genetic expert
ment are needed before the laws OF
eugenics can be dogmatically stated. !"
How much loose thinking there Is In
america upon eugenics is evident to
any one who picks up one OF the re-
cent magazines giving an account OF
the .'eugenic" baby exhibition in DEN

of the 'eugenics marriage laws of

of such loose thinking was lately re-

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrl, which is
nothing but infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
