Ib is acknowledged by all that yon have well sustained tho' reputation of tho New Zoalami judges lor that courtesy of demeanour find thoughtful con siderateness which bespeak tho gentle man. Your high 'position would in itself entitlo you to the outward distinc tion of honour. Yet there is another honourable) distinction which is dear to all good and worthy men, namely the approbation and esteem of those amongst whom they may have sojourned during life. This tribute, which is so justly your duo, we now tender you with our most cordial good wishes, and hope that the severance of your connection with Aucklani Way not bo of long duration.'". ;" (Signed) Ghaves Aickin, Foreman of the Grand Jury, Auckland, New Zealand, 7th September, 1887.

A German Protectorate for Samoa.

When the German Squadron suddenly left Sydney on August 3 for a secret' destination we (''Sydney Telegraph ") stated, '"on what v/o believed to be good authority, that the-mission of tho squadron was the establishment of some protectorate over Samoa, iv very import ,ant passage in a despatch just received by the Governor from the' Secretary of State for the Colonies would -seem' to afford con firmation of this supposition. Sir Henry Holland, writing on July 23 (a fortnight before the German squadron left Sydney), stated with l-egard to the subject which had been discussed before the.lmperial Confer ence, : " With regard to Samoa, the confer ence approved tho proposal now being con sidered at Washington by repreßentafcives of Gerniany, the IMtedl States and this country, that one of great Powers having interests in' the group should for a term control native affairs thero." The result of the meeting at Washington of therepresentativesofOormany, England and America has not.^et beeii jnade public, but there ia a very strong reason for believing that aa the German interests in Samoa Are very larg^, it'was decided to giVe Germany control over the native affairs in Samoa, which- practically means another Gorman ppotec,tomte in. the f ;South Seas. This de cision'would probafcjy beiarrivedat within, is'few^idoys ofHsoT:dat6 of SivHeriry Hol land's despatch, and instructions to proceed to Samba 1 would be immediately cabled to the squadron then lying in Port Jackson. This might account for the hurried and secret departure, as, it may be remembered, the squadron /went) away- without waiting for the arrival of,a captain, who was sent' from, Germany to replace an officer who had died suddenly a few weefcfr befOrei This captain Was at Adelaide on his way to Sydney when the squadron'sailed, and; acting under instructions he shortly afterwards left for Samoa"by tlio Gorman steamer Lubeck, presumably to jdia the squadron. ■

CORRESPONDENCE.

Property Tax*v. Income Tax. -Mb A. Scott, writing on this subject, says:— lho advocates of an income tax generally fax the exemption point at £150. Now, it is quite evident if we take the money-lenders position as the baso of our calculations, and enact so qb not to free them from their obligations under the £600 ox- j emption in the property tax, that -at oight per cent, the exemption point ought to be £40. In other words it will take about £1,900 at 8 per cent, to give an income of £150, which is £1,400 more than £500, and in the aggregate, for aught the advocates of the income tax toll us it may allow of a good many million pounds worth of Droporty now taxed boing exempted. On the other hand, only £40 exemption is too low for the poor man. 1 think the electors ought to be told.how the difficulty is got over. Again, the income tax is supposed to catch those who have, good salaries or wages, but no property. Such, in my opinion, is only a delusion. Take the caae of those in the Civil Service. How insane would it be to talk to them as follows: IWo will givo you a certain amount as salary, but we will appoint twenty or thirty tax collectors at say £300 per annum, and you must »pay to them a stated percentage) of your, salary. If it is absurd in the Civil Servioe, it is as much so with those in a more private posi tion. 1 n short, the whole question resolves itself into the one of raising or lowering wages. Those who advocate an income tax have more show of reason when they try to catch a percentage of the income of those in the learned professions; but if there is monoyin.it the income will either be spent and circulated as it is got, or it will be invested. The land tax is supposed to break up largo estates, but I have never heard it advocated in any other way than just the present property tax with improve ments exempted. In so far, then, as caus ing large tracts of land to be cut into smaller holdings, it can have no more effect than the present property tax. But some say it will encourage the industrious man not to have improvements taxed. I cannot see it-. Money in tho bank and money in tho shape of improvements are alike pro perty, and if there bo such a person- who will lie in bed rather than improve his pro perty with his own labour because he will be taxed for it, tho very same man will take good care not to get his income over the exemption point. I think the property tax is preferable, not only because as a direct tax it is more open and above board, less inquisitorial than the income tax, but also because it could take the place which Henry George assigns to rent, and bo mode tho mainspring and regulator of the whole land question ; it goes straight for a percentage of the unearned incre ment, and I cannot see how we can ask for more, as it would cripple all pioneer work ; and besides, if we took the whole of the in crement when property advanced in vnluo, we would have to refund it if property went back in value. By-tho-way, I cannot under stand why Sir George Grey seemingly givos up all claim to tho unearned increment in his proposed land bill by fixing the rent at 5 percent, on the purchase price, and which is never to be increased at any future time' I suppose wheu the rent is capitalised, and the property becomes freehold, its taxing value can never be increased. It seems to me the increment will have to bo reached by cross principles. The only sensible way of having a graduated property tax would be to enact that every person owning more than, say 1,000 acres, would be compelled to place what was over the. amount in tho market for sale in blocks of not more than 1,000 acres, and at their own valuation pay, the fcaxjon the extras—thatwoiild show tnafr the land is for the people, and not for a favoured few."

As Mb VAILE is under engagement to read a Paper on the Srubjcct of "Leasing: or Selling Our Railways," before the Auckland Athc nroura, TO-MORROW (ThUßsday) EVENING, his Committee will meet on FRIDAY, instead of on that evening. /HUTTING-DOWN HOBSON-STREET. \J It having been circulated that I am oppo3ed to the Amended Levels for Hobson-street and have been holding back the Work, I beg to give this a most emphatic denial. I hope in a few weeks Mr Pond's labou; s will be brought to a close, and the Work well in hand. It ia about two years since the Improved Grade was flsed upon. The finisliinr; of this street, and tho re maining funds used for what is said to be the neglected portion, or for the more general im provement of the Ward, will havo my best attention as local work. The Polling is TO-MORROW, at Roberts' Flax Store, Albert-street. Jam, Yours respeptifully, CHARLES ATKIN. VOTE FOR ATKIN !
