The Hawaiian Islands have a eli

degrees during the entire year. from

Is a constant crop OF sugar and
pineapple and no limit to the pros
perity these Islands afford.
They are fortunate In having at
their head a man OF unusual knowl-
edge OF industrial and agricultural
affairs. Gov. PinkhAm is filing the
post In way which does credit TO
this country.
The roads on the islands are es-
pccislly fine. They are made OF
stone or asphalt and have been built
entirely by convict labor.
The Mormons have a colony and
own 10000 acres under the sugar
cultivation.
The natives OF the islands are a
fine looking. good sized race OF peo-
pie; peaceable and poetic rather
than energetic. They have never
been ambitious for money and their
land has supplied them bountifuily
with all their needs.
With the white came the Chinese
coolie and also rum. The former
brought leprosy into the islands and
the latter the Ills which follow in
the liqnor wake. so far the natives
have not been greatly influenced but
their traditions are being broken
down by the influx o. foreign greed,
and no one knows how long they
osn retain their simple purity OF

A MongreI Tax Bill

The special committee appointed by
the legislature to frame taxation
measure have brought forth a mong-
rel which they admit is only a com
promise bill, they not being able to
agree among themselves as to the best
system Of taxation for Vermont
| The mongrel, however. is likely to
receive much petting and fondling
from the rich class that deal largely
| in stocks and bonds and are money
lenders, but that do not own much
| real estate.
II proposes to put real etsate into
| the list at full value and taxed at the
local rate which averages in the state
about two dollars on q dollar of the
grand list: but the intangible person
al property such as notes. bonds,
stocks. etc, it proposes TO tax at only
seventy cents on a dollar, no matter
what the local rate may be.
Ii proposes to allow a seyenty-hyc
per cent Offset on tangible property.
1t would abolish cheaper rates OF
interest by repeating the law exempt
ing from taxation money loaned at
five per cent
II that bill should become law,
who would pay for the improvements
in town, the rich stockholders and
money lenders or the men who have
bought farms and are trying to pay
for them? Suppose It became nee
essary TO buy two or three iron bridg
es and to build school house or two
and 10 put an extra amount of money
into highway improvement, who woulc
foot the bills? Not your rich stock
holder, for he would pay only his sew.
enty cents on the dollar just the same.
But the real estate owner would have
to bear the extra burden. He would
have to pay the local tax raised, and
il might be even four or five dollars on
dollar Is there anything right alb
out this?
BY repeating the clause exempting
from taxation money loaned at five
per cent, the Legislature of 1915 will
be going right back to the system OF
double taxation against which there
always has been so much kicking UNI
til 1912 II will also make it almost
impossible TO borrow money from an
individual, and banks will not loan II
for less than six per cent. 1t certain
ly will not encourage young man to
buy or build home.
The limited Offset feature will as
sist nearly everyone to dodge paying
his just taxes, because so many will
abuse the privilege. and 1t will en-
courage one to never get his debts |
paid up.
The old law was not satisfactory to |
taxpayers: the present law is not sat !
isfactory to certain classes of individ |
uals; but the proposed law can hardly |
be satisfactory to anybody. 1t is try |
ing to cater little to all, but is real |
ly favorable to none except the banks !

tax instead of LIS per cent. he has
been paying in Burlingtonafor examp-
lie, or even a higher rate in some 9th
e. places, it looks as though the only
real gamer from the proposed changes
would be the money lender.
The most striking fact OF all, how
ever, is that the honest money lender
will get the big reduction in his tax
burden without any lowering of his
rate of interest or even the necessity
OF loaning his money in Vermont 10

A BET ON THE WRONG HORSE
Some Reflections on Past British
Diplomacy

England fought one war and inter.
vened in another to prevent Russia
from reaching Constantinople. Yes
terday the British foreign secretary
announced that with Russia's desire
for access to the sea England is in en-
tire accord. 1t is q confirmation of
the famous remark OF the late Lord
Salisbury that in supporting Turkey
England had put its money on the
wrong horse"
Undoubtedly England to some ex-
tent Is making a virtue of necessity
At the same,time there can be no
doubt that a great change had come
in the relations of the two nations i;
the time of the signing OF the Anglo
Russian convention over Persia eight
years ago.
Russia had been England's tradition
al enemy on its Indian border. Kip
ling's earlier stories are full OF the
Russian danger that was felt by the
English in India and his warning
against the bear that walks like man
was the expression of the public senu-
meut of the time A Russian Con
stantinople was regarded as an intol-
TO British communication with India.
But il was discovered ten years
back that there was room enough in
Asia for both England and Russia, and
the two nations were able TO settle
their differences as to Afghanistan
and Tibet Then when they agreed
on their spheres of influence in Persia
and jointly paid the expenses of the
new sha's coronation, the source of
good share of the ancient rivalry dis
appeared. England was convinced
that the Russian occupation of Con
stantinopie would not be nearly the
peril that it had feared.
This tardy discovery doesn't bring
back the lives lost in the futile Grim
can war which was waged to keep
Russia ont of the Turkish capital. II
dosen't wipe out the blood stains in
Macedonia that followed British inter
vention in the Russo-Turkish war.
II does disclose the futility of se,-
fish diplomacy which is ready to sac
rfice lives to solve questions thar
ought to be settled on basis of reas-
on. One of the tragedies of the world
is that diplomatic bet on the wrong
horse is usually paid in the blood OF
men who had nothing to do with lay.

Result of War Uncertain.

Most Americans have predicted
that the allies would eventually win
the European war, but there have
been some dissenters among those
who have been close to the theatre of
operations in continental Europe. In
win Cobb, one OF the most interesting
writer's among the war correspond
ents, on returning to this country,
said frankly that he did not know who
would win. Rear Admiral ~ Bowles,
who resigned from the United States
navy to become president of the Fore
River Shipbuilding company at Quin-
cy, Mass, came home recently after
a two months stay in Germany firm
in his conviction that the Germans
would be victorious He Is quoted as
saying in Boston: "The probable sit.
uation is that all the allies are now
ready to quit. and that means not on
ly France and Russia, but England;
that Germany is ready to make peace
with Russia and France, but never
with England The possible conse-
quences of such situation are easily
observable, and merit the most seri
Gus consideration by the people of
the United States. The chance of "A
successful invasion of England can

The statehouse newspaper repre-
sentatives now figure that il will be
possible for the legislature to COM
plete its work and adjourn some
where about March rs. This will be
creditable record if the work due
can be accomplished. Contrary to ex-
pectation this legislature has not had
the amount of business before it that
has faced the legislatures of the past
few years. In number of bills this
legislature has so far had nearly
three hundred less than the legisla-
ture of 1912, far less than the legis
latures of 1908 and 1910 and fewer
even than in 1906. With this
smaller number of bills and about
the usual proportion of bills of little
the legislature of 1916
should be able to complete its work
in somewhere from rs to SO days

hopes that the legislature will not ad.
journ until it accomplishes some
really constructive legislation. To
merely kill proposition because it
isn't easy to solve the problem pre-
scented is not sufficient

is. In successful use over
SO years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms !;

A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
