An Act to regulate Taxation.


There is much in this law which does
not relate directly to assessment and tax
alton. A portion of it is merely explain
atory-a portion applies directly to taxes
"a portion applies to labor-a portion
applies to the former prohibitory SYSTEM
portion is simply instruction, and por-
ton is direct law.
That part which simply dispproves of
certain evils is instruction merely. If a
penalty is affixed, that is absolute law.
Respecting the Poll Tax.
There shall be two forms of taxation in
the Hawaiian Kingdom; the one IA Poll
Tax to be paid in money, the other land
tax to be paid in swine. These shall be
the standards of taxation, though in case
of failure in these articles, other property
will be received. The amount of taxa
ton shall be as follows,
For Man, One Dollar.
For Woman, Half IA Dollar.
For a Boy, one Fourth of Dollar.
For Girl, one Eighth of Dollar
This is the ratio of taxation for adults and
for children above fourteen years of age.
But feeble old men and women shall not
be taxed at al.
In the back parts of the Islands where
money is difficult to be obtained arrow
root will be suitable substitute: Thirty
three pounds of good arrow root will be
taken for a dollar. Cotton, also, will be
another suitable article. Sixteen pounds
will be accounted equal to dollar. Su-
gar is another suitable article, also fishing
nets.

money at the time when every man is to

a. Act prescribing the manner in which the
Laws shall be promulgated.
The subsection of the people to the
Chiefs from former ages down is a sub
oc well understood; so also are some Of
he ancient laws. That subsection and
,bo,e laws are not now discontinued as a
matter Of course, but there are many new
au. at the present time, and it is well that
he people should all become acquainted
rti those laws. 1t can be done in no
Mbcr way so well as in writing, wherefore
In council of the government the follow
n.acts were passed.
|. Hereafter no law of the kingdom
hall take effect without having been first
printed and inculcated at large.
}. Copies of the law shall be given to
the following persons:
To all The Chiefs belonging to the Le-
Isature.
To each person of the Representative
)odv
To all the Judges.
To all tax officers.

3. Should the purport of any law be
Doubtful, or should the Judges hesitate for
want of clcarness in the law, they may
then ask explanation of the Supreme
Judges, who will make known the true
meaning.
Should any two laws be at variance with

row root, nor cotton, nor sugar nor nets.
until the specified months of payment
have passed. viz. December, January and
February, and if the last days of Febru-
airy shall have passed. then every man
thus deficient shall be fined the value of
two dollars. And the same rate of in
crease shall be observed in relation to
those whose taxes are less than those of
man.
The fine shall be paid in some property
that can be sold for the value of two dol
lars, but not in property subject to imme-
date decay or death.
g. Land Tax
The following is the rate of taxation for
plantations, and for farms included in
plantations. There shall be no state,
county, or district tax, but merely the fol-
lowing:
A large farm-a hog lathom long.
! A smaller iarn-a hog 81 of a iathom
long.
A very small larm--a hog yard long.
If not a iathOm hog-tcn dollars in
money. d,
If not 81 fathom hog-scven dollars
and half in money.
If not yard hoy-fve dollars in mo-
ncy.
If neither lathom hog nor ten dollars,
then two yard hogs, or if failing in these,
then four cubit hogs, or if not these, then
some other property of equal value with
iathom hog. Or if none of these, then
inquiry shall be made, both of the land
lords and the tenants, and he whose is the
fault shall be dispossessed of his right in
the land. Or If the fault is common to
the landlord and tenant, then they shall
have three months to put the land in good
order, at which time they shall all leave
it, for in that case the land is truly valua-
bic, but the landlord and tenant neglect to
pay the taxes. This is doing a real dam
aGc-it is downright lazincss, wherefore
in the same manner as these persons are
fined and then dispossesscd, so also shall
those be fined and disposscssed who hold
small farms included in larger ones.
But those plantations which have no
farms in them under the direct taxation
of particular chiefs, and have never had
during the remembrance of any of the
people now alive, they shall be taxed as
follows in this new assessment.
A large plantation-two fathom hogs.
A smaller plantation-one fathom hog.
A very small piantation--a Sd fathom
hog.
The above shall be the rate of taxation
and conditions of dispossession of farms.
1t is furthermore added, for the purpose
of clcarness and equality in taxation that
if the tax officer and the owner of hogs
cannot agree as to the size of the hog.
then the tax hog shall be weighed, and a
fathom hog shall be considered as weigh
ing 33}3 pounds-a 81 tathom hog $50
pounds, and yard hog l67 pounds. In
the system of assessment this shall be con-
sldered as the regular weight of all tax
hogs.
If the weight of the hog shall exceed
that which is prescribed for the iaihom-
3D. fathom, or yard hog, then the tax Of
ficer shall pay for the excess above the
proper weight and SO also if the wcioht
OF the hog fall short of what is prescribed
in the law, the land agent shall pay The
deficiency.

eral Islands all notify his ma jcsty of all
the lands which are annually forfeited
and he shall give them out again at his
discretion, or lease them, or put them into
the hands of those who have no land at
his discretion.
3. Respecting the Labor Tax.
Hereafter tax in labor shall not be re-
CURED on every week in the month. On
two weeks, labor shall be performed for
the King and landlords, and two weeks
the people shall have wholly to them
selves.
The first week in the month the people
shall work two days for the King and one
for their particular landlords the second
week they shall work one day for the
King, and two for their particular land
lords, and the next two weeks the people
shall have entirely to themselves.
BIT i there is important public pork 10
be done ~hich is for the benefit OF the people
at large, then there shall be tcelre vorkimg
days IN a month. The people shall mork
three days on each Of those meeks chich
belong especially TO themselves, and ,chcn the
,cork is finished or cnded then that rate of
labor shall cease. But as regards That kind
Of labor uhich is merely for The prirate IN
lerests Of The chiefs, or omners of counties,
towns, districts, plantations and turms, each,
cren including The X ing, shall receire the
benefit only Of his omn particular days Of
the meek. The people shall 'cork only on
Fridays or Thursdays for the landlords,
and the landlords shall be eract to require
their portion only The days.
And so also the tax officers shall be
particular to appropriate only the kings
days to his labor. If the landlords or in
ferior chiefs see proper to appropriate
their days labor to the benefit of the king
in the performance of any particular Ia
Dor, then the king shall return as many
days labor as he has received from the
landlords.
And in the same way there may be an
exchange of days with the common peo-
pie.
IF the king is in particular need Of la
Dor, or if the landlords should be, it will
not then be proper for the people to re-
fuse to exchange days. They shall ex-
| CIluIlSt, dIlil oll tIIC ABOVE COnultIOIlS.
| Though any man may refuse to exchange
when it shall be of special disadvantage to
himself.
The same privilege of exchange shall
also be granted to the people. Whencv-
er they are in slaughtered circumstances,
and shall wish to be absent from the Tues
day and Friday labor, they may exchange
with the tax officer or landlord, and it
shall not he proper for them to refuse,
though if any man should be guilty of
downright falsehood, and should in real
ity be in no strait, that shall be considered
the same as absentlng himself from days
labor.
Those landlords and chiefs who are
guilty Of appropriating to their own use
the labor Of the people on those days
which do not belong TO them, and do not
return an equal number of days to the
people shall be fined thus: the tenants
shall be freed for six months from work.

them.

people who do not go TO the public labor

Once bore heart as young, as warm,
AS full Of idle thoughts as mine.
And each has had his dream of Joy,

And each could tell his tale Of youth
Would think Its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since:
