UNFAIR CONDITIONS
SAY PORTUGUESE,
. CAUSE OF LEAVING
The (iarden Island gives the fol
lowing reasons for the departure of
nid-rcsldent Portuguese:
Two hundred nhle-budieil I'nrtu
gues?, most of them long-time resi
dents of the Islands, left Hawaii In
it rather spectacular way last week,
going off on tho Alameda with sov
i nil hundred compatriots nccoiiipany-
Iiik them to the steamer; this while
the Hoard of Immigration and the
Planters arc doing their utmost to
ictalii what there Is and securo new
population nniuiiK that nationality.
Under such clicumstanccs it Is evi
dent that the tumble lies deeper than
in mere dissatisfaction with tho
price for labor, and if one tries to
pet tit their reasons one will Rener
ally find that it is a widely dlffctent
fine.
One of the reasons that are glvon
It, that tho Administration is not
riving thorn fair play. It has given
them promise after piomlso and ut
terly falls to make any attempt to
fulfill them. Those, that glvo this as
their reason refer to the Adiulnlstra

homesteads for them and every otlt-

liousi:
30th Day I'orcnoon Session
Hepreseutatlvu long, chairman (it
the House Commttteu on Hducatlon,
made a spirited light on the Hour or
the House this morning for the pas
sage) of his hill providing a pension
fund for retired school teachers. Al
though thu matter did nut come to
i Mite, going over until Thursday ot
next week, loug made a good Im
pression on tho mombeis and the ul
timate suet ess of the measure seems
practically assured.
Long, us chairman of the lomtnlt
tte, is probably doing moio hard
work than any other member uf thu
lower legislative body. Ho Is taking
a great deal of personal interest In
the educational matters, and his
work In commttteu and on tho stdo
lias been constant and shows signs
of bearing lesults. Yesterday hu
put In most of his time winking with
1 thu Senators In an onileaMir to hau
thu Upper House fulllll thu Ucpuhll
rau party pledgu to give the publli!
school teachers a fair lompensatlou
ror their work.
Lung's principal opponent on the
floor of thu House this morning was
Sheldon of Kauai. Sheldon has In
troduced more bills than any other
member of tho liouso, tho total ot
them nmouutlng to 35 or more.
Many of them cairy nppioprlnlloii
clauses In- nil sorts of unnecessary
things, but hu dues not, of lourse,
look upon any of his measures as
measures or extravagance. llutwhen
It ciimes to providing pensions ror
teachers who hao giowu old and
feebli in thu education of tho chll
dtcn of Hawaii, that Is n different
mutter. Thu Territory cannot af
ford It.
Sheldon said tho Territory ought
to look out for policemen before it
considers such a thing as pensioning
I teachers. Ho made ono of his char-
dcteilstlc1 speeches, in which ho suc
ceeded in making no point, and, so
far as could bo observed, had no ef
fect on his fellow members.
ltlce said ho thought tho measuro
was a good one, but should not coma
up at this time, ns It looks llko u
bop thrown to tho teachers, which
could hu used hb an excuso If an at
tempt should ho made to glvo tjiem
unj thing but u fair deal In the mat
ter of salaries.
Kaleiopu niado a vigorous speech
In favor of tho bill, eulogizing tho
woik of the school teachers highly.

House Hill 11C, establishing 'n io
tlrement fund for pensioning retired
teachers of public schools of tho Ter
iltory und to regulate tho collection,
mani'gemcnt and disbursement there
of, came up for third lending.
Long, the lntloducer of tho bill,
with tho assistance of tho Speaker
and Interpreter Kuulukou, clearud
up the point wanted by Knnlho.
A curious illustration of the diffi
culties of doing business In two lan
(ittUKes was brought out. It appears
that In the Hawaiian hill no distinc
tion Is made between the words "to
tired" and "discharged." Somo dif
ficulty was experienced In making
Kuulhn sen the distinction. When
hu did, however, ho expressed hint-

A SOI' TO THE TEACHERS
"This may be a ory good bill,"
said Representative Rice, "but to
mo it looks like a sup thrown to the
tcaclicis. It would ho n good ileal
better to pay them fair salaries. I
think It would bu better to wait un
til nfter wu have passed on tho mat
ter of salailes. otherwise this nny
be taken ns an excuse for giving tin'
teachers small salaries.
SHELDON KICKS
Sheldon thought tho bill n bad
cno. "We ought to pension the po
lice officers, who alvvajs race death
in times or riot," ho said, "before wo
think of pensioning tho teachers, I
know some police olllters who have,
i-erved rnr many ycats. They am
tho ones wo should pension. Tho
teachers niu well taken caro or, ror
they are alvvn)s taking trips to Ku-

tho money out of tho Treasury to pay
ror those who can no longer work nt
their piofesslon.

rinnters Think That a Raise of the
Property Tax Would Be a
Much Fairer Meas
ure. Senator McCiuthy this morning
guvu n detailed explanation of thu
plan relating to tho application uf
part of the Income tax to Immigra
tion work, which hu hinted at yes
terday, when ho had the liicomu tax
bill luferred to thu 'n)s and Means
Committee.
"Wu know that under Attorney
(cnoral lluiinpartu'H tilling Immigra
tion can nut bu assisted by prlvntu
Individuals or corporations, but only
by Territorial funds," said tho Sen
ator, when asked what his plan was.
Wu also know that the plantations
r.tul those tomiettcd therewith are
tho ones who uru chielly benellted by
European Immigration, Thu planta
tion interests are ciultn willing to
.ny the necessary money, but under
the law they cannot do It. The only
way to have them do so Is to have
them pay in the form of a tux.
"Now, some days ago, before this
thing came up, I niado Inquiries of
thu Tux Assessor and found that if
thu exemption on income tax was
placed at $ 1,000 and the tax raised1
to 2 1-2 per cent., tho additional 1-2 j
per tent, would maku up ror thu loss
or thu tuxes from those who aro now
receiving between $1,000 and $1,000
a year nnd pav'ng a 2 per cent lii
comu tax theieoii.
"It is my Idea to havo tho Wujs
nnd Means Committee uf the Senate,
the (lovcrtior, the llnaid of Immi
gration und tho Treasurer meet
together. The (lovernor and thu
Immigration Hoard can then out
line their Immigration policy ror thu
next two )ears, to wo can ascertain
how much money wilt bu needed ror
the put pose. Wu can then take thu
Income tnx received at present, on
the 2 per tent basis, on Incomes over
$1,000 a ear. Wo can then deduct
from this tho amount which Is lost
from the Incomes between $1,000
nnd $1,000 by the raising of thu ex
emption to thu latter figure. Then
taking the remaining Bum us a hauls,
nnd knowing thu amount which will
bo needed for immigration purposes,
wu cuii Hud out Just how much thu
Income tux will huvu to bu raised to
uiako up the amount needed fur lin
Iiilgrntinn over und above the amount
rccolved ut present.
"Under this arrangement those
earning under $1,000 uro exempt,
whllo those who earn up to above
that to n tertaln amount will pay
less than before, us thoy pay nothing
on tho first $1,000. It will only be
thos.) who earn, say about $2,100,
who will have to pay moru taxes, and
(who will thus bo directly paying fur
t thu immigration work. Most people
in this uiuntry who earn such
amounts are interested in planta
tions, dltectly or Imllfcctly, while
otheiH uro merchants who nro bene
llted by Immigration of white labor
ers. "Now this Is only a plan of my
own. I havo not tousulted with thu
lloaid of Immigration or even thu
Other inembeiB of the Wnjs und
Means Committee, but I think It Is u
thins on which It would bo well to
havo n general public expression be
tore any steps aru taken, Wo are nil
interested in Immigration, in so rai
ns wu know that It is a good thing
