LORRIN ANDREWS

Honolulu, H. l., January 20, 1908.
Mr.. w. w. Dimond, for Committee
of Merchants Association.-Sir 1 am
of opinion that purely mercantile
corporation or business enterprise, as
w. w. Dimond & Co., is not an enter
prise for profit within the meaning of
Section $50 of the Civil Laws, and Is
not required to make a return under
Section 81 of the Civil Laws, nor to
return Schedule IT,
The Tax Assessor ought to receive
your return as ordinary property, and
should not reject the return if Sched-
ule 'T'' is not filed out. In case he
may do so without authority of Law (,
your right of appeal is still good, al
though it may have to be enforced by
mandamus proceedings.
You 90 not lose your right of appeal
as to the property returned under the
conditions stated.
I advise that you decline to sign
Schedule IT.
1 enclose memorandum as to the law,
and also as to the reply to be given
the assessor Yours very truly,
w. AUSTIN WHITING
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-01-27
MERCHANTS
DO NOT AGREE

In conclusion 1 would call your at
tention to the fact that this return only
applies to those corporations or persons
whose property consists of real and
personal property or several kinds of
personal property which combined are
made the basis of an enterprise for
profit and does not in my opinion apply
to retail merchants who are carrying
one line of goods merely, such as gro
ceries, dry goods, hardware. etc. This
last point, however, has not yet been
passed upon by our Supreme Court, not
having been raised by the tax assessor,
although it is collaterally touched upon
in an appeal by May & Company which
is about to be argued in the Supreme
Court.
Yours respectfully,
LORRIN ANDREWS.

To j. W. Pratt, Assessor for the
District of Honolulu, Island of Oahu
Sir: We claim that our business Is
not an enterprise for profit within the
meaning of Section $50 of the Civil Law
and that we are not required to make
the return called for by Section 81,
and that Schedule ~ which you re-
quest to be returned, does not apply
to our business and property.
Dated, Honolulu, H. T., ....... 1903
When the report had been read Pres
ident Macfarlane said that he had had
a conversation with Assessor Pratt in
which he had been told that the off,
Ger held that the law required the MAX
ing of the returns and that it must be
complied with while it was on the stat
spite of the fact that there was a nat
uraI Discrimination on the part of mer-
chants to make public their business.
there was still this fact, that while the
Assessor made up his tax list through
the two statements, one of the assets
of the companies and the other as to
their business and its returns, the
effect of Schedule Il" would be To
make taxation less, for this year, be-
cause of the depression through which
the Territory had passed.
Mr.. Helm raised the point that the
filing of the return called for in Seized
uIe II" would mean that there would
be double tax, owing to the fact that
the net returns of the business of the
corporations and firms was set out and
tax paid upon it in the income tax.
Mr.. Steiner said that Schedule ''I''
applied only to corporations, but Mr..
Porter replied that he had offered the
returns of his firm, which is simply
partnership, and had been told that he
must fill out the disputed schedule.
Mr.. Wakefield said that he thought it
an injustice that there should be the two
statements as to assets and as to bus
mess, while the taxpayer was not Civ
en- the option on which he was to be
taxed.
Mr.. Macfarlane explained that he had
taken up the matter of publicity with
the Assessor, and had been assured that
there would be no more publicity in this
connection than there would be in regard
to the books of a business house, the
separate list being prepared so that any
one calling for a tax return would not
be privileged to see Schedule Il"
Mr.. Cation thought the facts of
Schedule r. were included in the cor
poration exhibit, and Mr.. Montana said
that with the return of assets, of the
business done and the profit, and the
revenue for income tax. there seemed
to him to be three kinds of taxation on
the business mans profits, which he be-
lieved was not constitutional.
Mr. Dimond called attention to the
fact that there was a difference be-
tween the opinions as to their applica-

FROM LINCOLN TO ROOSEVELT.
An Interesting Story of a Custom That Has Prevailed in the House of the Chief Executive Throughout
 Eleven Administrations.

That custom, despite the strenuous trend of the times, is not dead in the United States. is proven by one of the collection of tales out of school just pub llshed by Captain Pendel, chief doorkeep- CT and usher. and oldest employe of the White House. He cites a singular colnci- dence in which all the ten Presidents whose habits he knew so well were of one mind This Is a story of the one thing besides soap and water which all the Presidents used in common. 1t was a little thing, but 1t is Just such trifies that impress upon us the fact that great men are but human. It was a toilet article. There have always been many revivals of this particular article, but, curiously enough, all the Presidents from Lincoln to Roosevelt have had an iden- ticaI idea concerning the brand of their choice. The Presidents of thirty years ago and their successors used 1t. as did all persons of refinement in their time. Reference Is made to Dr. Lyons Perfect Tooth Powder. Today, as though the habit were presidentially inherited, one of the familiar blue enamel boxes contain- ing the powder stands beside every tooth- brush in the bedchambers of the Roose- welt family. As the package is metal 1t will not break, and as 1t has a patent teescopie measuring tube 1t Is always corked. and is, therefore, a convenience in toilet bags of travellers as well as luxury in the boudoirs of stay-at- homes. General Grant carried 1t with him on his tour around the world.

BIG CATFISH WAKES UP.
Takes Light Breakfast of EeIs or
 April 4, It's First Meal in 2 Months.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 The big Mississippi river catfish at the Aquarium, which passes It's winters in a state of Information, took its first food this year on April 4. which Is earlier than usual Tn 1902 1t ate for the first time after its winter period of repose on April 2S and in 1901 on April S0
 The big catfish took It's last food in 1902 on August 15 so that it's period of abstention for the winter season of 1902-3 was seven months and twenty days, which Is about the usual duration; for, while 1t began eating this year somewhat earlier than usual, 1t began its fast last year, rather earlier than usual.
 In its river home, this big catfish would bury itself in the mud in winter and there lie till spring came. Here 1t settles on the bottom of the tank and lies motionless sometimes for weeks on a stretch. It may at long intervals scratch itself a little on the gravelly bottom of the tank but commonly, like a carved fish, 1t lies motionless.
 Then. when the water begins warming up again. with the return of spring, the big fish wakes up and is ready for break fast. It's inaugural meal for the season of 1903 was a pound and a half eel.

THIRTY-FOURPOINTS
 OF ERROR ALLEGED
Defendants lake Appeal in the
 Celebrated Merger Case
MANY EXCEPTIONS MADE
Principal Point Is the Finding as to the Facts In the Formation and Ob- jects of the Northern Se-
 curties Company.

St. Paul. Minn., April 2O.-Thirty-f points of error are alleged by the coun- sel for the Northern Securities company and other defendants in their appeal from the decision of the Circuit court.
 Exceptions are noted to every paragraph in the decree, and the court Is said to be in error in rendering every decree save one for dismissal of the petition and pro- ceedngs.
 The principal exceptions noted are those referring to the courts findings as to the facts in the formation and objects of the Northern Securities company
 Purpose of Organization.
 The exceptions in each case take the ground that the court erred in finding that the Securities company was organ ized for the purpose of controlling the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington roads; that the exact amount necessary to buy the control of them was made the amount of capitalization. and that those stockholders not interested were persuaded to sell to the Securities company by those interested.
 Another important point on which ex- ception Is taken. Is the decision of the court that all contracts and combinations tending to restrain trade, are in them selves Illegal, even when they don't ac- tually restrain interstate commerce. The defendant, likewise excepts to similar construction of the antitrust law relat- ting to the requirement. of a parallel and competing road by another, or the placing of two such roads under one ownership or infringement.
 As to One Management.
 The defense takes exceptions to the find- ingsof the court that the roads are really under one management; that of the Se- curities company despite the fact that separate boards of directors are main tained. Similarly the decision that the final control of a road rests with the shareholders and not with the board of directors.
 Another important point raised In the bill of exceptions, is the denial of the courts assumption that the law reguat- ing interstate commerce covers the own ership and sale of shares in railroads The courts finding that the states incor- not exclusive control in this matter, is also excepted. An exception is also taken to the finding that the formation of the Northern Securities company gave to few men the control of three competing roads, and that it was formed for that purpose.

PRISONERS TRY TO ESCAPE.
John McGowan and Jesse Grant Make
 Desperate Attempt.

Columbus. O., April 2o-A desperate but unsuccessful attempt was made by John MeGowan, life prisoner, and Jesse Grant, sten-year man. both from Cleve- land, to escape from the penitentiary this afternoon. It was first thought a general outbreak among the prisoners had been planned and a riot alarm was sent to police headquarters. A squad of vatro imen were hurried to the prison, but their services were not needed. Me Gowan and Grant both had revolvers, whicE had been smuggled into the prison. Walking into a room in the stamp shop, whcre they had seereted a ladder, they ordered the half-dozen "trustys' en- ployed there to lay down; all but Charles Farmhouse. five-year man, complying, and he was knocked senselsss with a Hammer.
 The two men compelled one of the trusty's to carry the ladder to the wall nearby. As they were about to scale the wall guards appeared and fusilade of shots swere exchanged, none of which fcolc effect. McGowan and Grant were iaken into custody and placed in solitary confinement.
 It is not Sbelieved Parnhouses injuries are serious.
