cite the party to appear in the Superior
Court for such examination, under Sec
ton 1854, where a summary hearing
is guaranteed to him, and all proceed
ings will be had at the expense of the
taxpayer necessary to secure the re-
quisite information for making the
proper assessment.
IF the property owner neglects or
refuses to make and return any state
ment under oath, or if, upon being SUBJ
penaed, he refuses to appear before the
Assessor for examination, or refuses
upon proper citation to appear before
the Superior Court for examination. in
either of those three cases. the Assessor
has power to make an arbitrary as
sessment, noting on the margin the
reason why it was made, and the Board
of Equalization has no power to reduce
such assessment, but he has such power
in no other case.
I'm this case the sworn statement
was returned. so that there was no
power to make an arbitrary assessment
for failure to make such return. The
Assessor did not subpoena the party to
appear for examination or cite him to
appear in the Superior Court; hence
there was no power to make an arbi-
trary assessment for failure to comply
with such subpoena or citation. and
there is no pretense that it was made
for such cause.
For false return or false testimony
upon examinati there are other and
more severe penalties-the pains and
penalties of perjury, but these can only
be imposed after due trial and con-
viction of having sworn or testified
falsely. Heree the Assessor is not au-
thorized to impose 2 penalty for false
statement or false testimony. The
power is not given to him to convict
or to punish for perjury. The only

We cannot afford sufficient money to

Hawaii we will have TO build a great many
new ships and spend vast sums for coast
defenses and big guns. England has her
magniticently equipped naval station near
Victoria and eau get there all the coal she
needs, so she does not require Hawaii for

about the status the large Chinese pop
