Tn new Tax Bill which is shortly 70
become law VIII allow brief time for the
public to become familiar with its require
ments before the tax returns for the present
year VIII b. called for, which the law
requires to be made during the month of
July. We cannot do morv In tins issue
than call attention to some Of the prin-
opal features Of the Bill. especially with
reference 10 provisions which are new.
The Road. School and Pol taxes. also the
percentage Of three-fouTths OF one per
cent on The value Of real and personal
property other than that subject to spse-
ifc taxes. remain the same as under the
cid law. The objects Of specific taxation
are Is follows dogs 81. carts and draws.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1882-06-28

We have shown-n several articles. ON
opinion that the benefit derived through
the Treaty has not been confined to the
sugar men and the nee growers hut that
all Glasses OF our community are sharing
in these benefits. The laborer the art.
san. the shopkeeper. the commercial as
well as the agricultural classes, the
landlord as well as the tenant. the land
owner as well as It's culhvator.
But we find II there Is any talk Of e1-
pense for supporting the Treaty. for
answering adverse arguments, or for any
Legitimate efforts to avoid notice OF ahro-
cation then the sugar men only are
looked 70. as the interested parties, who
should put their shoulders 10 the wheel.
Tins does not look exactly right There
should be q cooperation IN bearing the
burdens as well d. IL sharing the benefits.
The town Of Honolulu from It's meanest to
It's most palstial quarter. has felt the i'm
petus Of profitable business. and al its
are quite as deeply interested
IN a prosperous future as are any one or
all Of the planters.

CIRCUMSTANCES. II is said, alter cases;
when the late wicked Ministry was IN.
a finance report was considered very nee
essaIy. Nay. more; so urgent was II that
the public acc1unts should be thoroughly
and expedihously overhauled: that the
members Of the Committee felt themselves
unable TO bear the burden laid upon them:
they came before the House, and IN an
eloquent appeal from the then senior
member for Honolulu. they asked that
these mighty labors might he somewhat
hghtened- and that experts he appointed.
Recognizing the importance Of the work
q this Committee, and also the excellent
reasons there were for fastening on the
report the House granted the request.
and voted $500 10 be paid as compensation
70 the experts. We believe that the gen
tlemen called in have long ago completed
tins work. but where Is the Finance

During the last two sessions the work Of
the Legislature has been practically at a

that there viii be sailing and rowing races IN the

theattendance on the regular exercises. There is
also prospect of an early parade Of the ASrrpu1s

and all tastes. The public exercises and the PIC
mic will Be held at the grounds on the makai side
Of King Street, opposite the residence Of judge
Bickerson, where spacious lanai one hundred
feet by two hundred, and fourteen feet high Is now
being erected. SIR. Wilder has kindly consented

WIEN the late Ministers resigned they
left behind them an Appropriation Bill.
ample in its provisions generally, extrava
CANT in some directions, and the first duty
which fell to the lot of the new Ministry
was 70 introduce this Appropriation Bill
or frame another; the latter course was
chosen, as might have been anticipated,
and the Primate, having promised the
House. with as grave a face as could be
assumed while performing such farce,
that the expenditures should be -judicious
and economical retired to his Office. re-

sent for his colleagues, bid them take their
bills, sit down quickly and write a hundred
wherever they found eighty. Last week
the attention Of our readers was directed
towards the folly and danger of playing
at soldiers, this week some other extraTa-
gsnees vii be noticed First. then. we

ever does not under the new law include

Fire and Marine Insurance Companies
arp taxed one dollar on each one hundred
dollars received for premiums. There are
some good provisions for assessing part
nerskip or corporate property only to the
firm OF corporate narne, Mortgagors are
to be taxed only on the difference between
the whole value and the amount due In
! the mortgage, but they are required TO pay
the tax on the money due on the mortgage,
and be allowed the money 50 paid IN their
accounts with the mortgages, Of course
there NAV be cases where property Is
mortgsged for over its value, IN which case
under the law the mortgsgor vii have no
taxable interest.
The Bill requires that the interest OF an
owner Of real estate held in any tenancy
exceeding a yearly. tenancy shall be as
sessed the sum equal TO eight years rent
received from such real estate; other
wise. the interest Of any person IN real
or personal property Is to be assessed at
sum which such interest might reason
ably be expected to bring at a sale at
public auction All assessments are TO
be made as Of July Ist There are explicit
directions in the Bill for notice OF assess
ments Of property OF non-residents- The
Appeal Boards are to be presided over by
Circuit Judge excepting on Oahu where
the Police Justice Of Honolulu presides.
1t Is important to note that no appeals
can be heard or allowed except OF those
who have made their returns 10 the asses
sor. The public vii do well to bear this
point IN mind, as heretofore any one who
regarded his assessment as e1orbitant has
relied on his right of appeal whether be
had made return to the assessor or not.
The assessor Is required to send by
September written notice TO each owner
Of real estate describing the property
assessed and the proposed valuation.
Penalties Of treble taxation and Of fines
from SIS. to $500, are provided for any
one who shall knowingly or villfully make
and deliver any false statement of property
or any false assertion in relation thereto
