desirable as regards Canada. and other
countries, and its establishment appears
to the Senate advisable, we may safely
count upon the ratification of the Treaty
with US.
The delay has not been damaging thus
far. and certainly cannot be assumed here
as indicating disposition to reject it. 1t
will be brought forward soon, if we may
credit the avowed purposes Of its friends,
who are ready to push it forward at the
first favorable moment.
The news by the last mail, only con-
firms what we have always maintained,
that the prospects are fair, and only the
news of the final vote upon it, will place
the matter beyond the limit of mere con-
lecture.
Meantime its summer-friends here are
more intent, in verifying their predictions,
that only failure could come of the effort,
than on holding up its merits steadily,
while few, whether Intentionally or not,
by discussion of side issues, by injudicious
writing, and covert attacks, strengthening
their talk by claiming to represent Ameri-
can sentiment, are rendering the nego-
tiation more laborious, than it ought to be-,
to those who have it ip hand.
1t is curious commentary on our CLIQUE
politics and personal prejudices, to observe
how some labor to prove that tie govern
ment do notdesre the ratification, while so
far, it has persistently and generously fol-
lowed up the progress of the affair, and
consistently stood by its policy, and the
Treaty is desirable both for Hawaii and the
United States.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1868-07-22
THE ASSESSMENT.

The appointment of the several assessors
of the kingdom, has been made by the
Minister of Finance, in accordance with
law, and on or before the first day of
September, they must make a faithful
assessment of all taxes, imposed by law
in their respective districts.
In a large district like that of Homo
lulu. the time is short for making up the
lists. and we see that already the assessor
is distributing his blanks, and notifying
the inhabitants of the different settle
ments, to meet him and make their retruns.
The forms this year are made up, to
include the qualifications for voting, and
however clear the annual income may be
to the foreigner, it is by no means easy,
to show the Hawaiian that the law does
not mean, a clear cash amount of seventy
five dollars, over and above the cost of
living for the year. He cannot compre-
bend that the cultivation of his loi, yield
ing taro, has an equivalent expression IN
money value, although he does not get
cash for it, or that, what has been expend-
ed in food or clothing, can be counted as
having possessory value, as the basis Of
political rights and privileges.
Hence the reply of many, who support
themselves and perhaps families, to the
assessor viii be that they do not have an
income of the required amount, and only
by inquiry into their employment and
habits of living, will he be placed in a
position to judge of whether to enter
their names or not. II viii be his duty,
not only to get reply to the simple ques-
The Hawaiian gazette., 1868-07-22
TAXES,

BY Section 5l3 of the Civil Code, the
following persons are exempt from all in
ternal taxes: His Majesty the King; the
Diplomatic Agents of foreign countries,
and their Attaches, duly made known to
the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The following persons are exempt from
personal taxes; Clergymen of any Christ
ian denomination, regularly engaged in
their vocation; all teachers of youth en-
ployed in public or private schools for
more than six months of the year; all
members of the Fire Department of Ho-
nolrla, or elsewhere, if regularly organized:
6remen, in addition, being entitled to two
horses each free from taxation. The per-
sonal taxes, are the road, school, and poll
tay, but, excepting two horses each for
firemen, the persons named above are not
exempt from the specific taxes levied upon
horses, mules, dogs, and carriages.
Real and personal property belonging
to the Board of Education, for the use of
schools to Incorporated or private schools;
to religious societies for church sites, bury
ing grounds, and houses of education, and
to literary and benevolent societies, are
exempt from taxation.
Real estate includes all lands and town
lots, with the buildings, structures, and
other things erected on the same.
Personal property includes all animals,
household furniture, and chattels not spe-
officially taxed goods, wares, and mer
chandise /; all moneys in hand, in the banks,
and loaned; all mortgages, public stock,
stocks in corporations, Exchequer Bills,
and every other species of property not
included in real estate, Persons, the as
sessed value of whose property is less
than one hundred dollars, are not liable to
the property tax.
Persons returning real estate are author
lied to deduct from the assessed value
thereof, all mortgages upon the same, if
due within the Kingdom; and all personal
property is entitled to have the debts due
upon it deducted from its value, if the
debts are due within the Kingdom. Debts
due without the Kingdom, upon property
within the Kingdom, are not entitled to
be deducted from the property, whatever
it may be, as such property has the same
claim to protection as all other property in
the Kingdom, and should contribute its
proportion for that protection.
The above extracts from the laws and
the instructions to the Assessors, embrace
all that is necessary to both Assessors and
taxpayers for proper making up of the
assessments.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1868-07-22

ton. bat to explain, go that the question
may be answered intelligently. By the
law in California we observe that every tax
payer, must give in his returns, under
oath, and undoubtedly this is the only
proper method, to secure the state from
loose construction of the statute, by those
whose interest it is, not to overrate them
selves. No r9an can be expected to give
the worth of his property to cent. or
that his own valuation, will be free from
criticism, if appealed to the judgment of
his neighbors, the law does not contem-
plate ascertaining absolute worth, but
such fair valuation, as every honest man,
makes to himself, when looking into his
affairs, to know his own standing. Hence
an oath, according to the best of his
knowledge and belief, is no more hardship,
than the simple statement to the assessor
ought to be, without an oath. Our law
leaves it to the discretion of the assessor
whether or not to require an oath, and
the usual practice is, to receive the tax
payers statement without being sworn to-.
The Konohikis or those having charge CT
lands, are required by law to furnish the
assessor with list of all animals, running
on the land, their own and others, speci-
flying to whom they belong. The necessi-
ty of their lists, to the intelligently work
of the assessor, makes it highly desirable
that they should be given in, without
delay.
1t is advisable that every person should
make his returns as early as possible, after
receiving notification. This not only dis
tributes the burden of the assessor, more
equally over the time allowed for making
up his list, but may save the tax payer
some annoyance, during the last few days.
1t is not the duty of the assessor, to go
after the tax payers, after notifying them,
and such as do not make their returns
before the first day of September, must
be content with such valuation as the
assessor may impose, from his own infor-
nation and belief. A stricter adherence to
this rule, would in few years quite cure
some of our negligent taxpayers, and ma
terially tighten the work of the assessors.
