Able and Willing to Learn.

Rev. Majola Ag Bebe, of Lagos, Afri-

the Washington Suffrage Club in the
Galbraith Memorial church, on Sixth

with an accent decidedly different

He made an appeal for funds for the
education of his people in Africa, stat

them in his books, but able and willing

SAYS THERE
WAS No LOSS
Brief Filed in the
income Tax
Appeal.

The brief filed for the assessor in the
Hawaiian Commercial Company income
tax case in the Supreme Court sets out
many points of general interest to the
plantations. The assessor contends that
the abandoned property cannot be de-
Quoted from the incomes. THE Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Company
has not lost any income by erecting i'm
provements on it's plantations the
brief states, neither has it's property
as a whole deprecated in value by rea
son Of these improvements. On the
contrary, it's property has been improv-
ed thereby to the extent of the value of
the added improvements, and it has
thus put itself in a position to increase
it's income, and we contend that even
forced abandonment of property does
not constitute a loss within the mean
ing of the statute in question. To con-
stitute a loss the injury must have ac-
crued by reason Of some act or circum-
stance not done or created by the own
er of the property.
I'm this case the use of the old prop
erty was voluntarily abandoned by the
because by such abandon
ment the company evidently considered
that it would enhance the value of its
property as a whole, and eventually in
crease the profits.

tute a loss in any reasonable sense of
the word"

PEACOCK CASE
SET FOR TRIAL

The case of the United States VS.. w.
c. Peacock for the forfeiture of the
Julia E. Whalen will be tried by Judge
Estee alone, and not by a jury. When
the case was called up originally Pea
cock asked for a jury and yesterday
Judge Estee ordered Clerk Mailing to
draw a panel to hear the case, imme-
diately upon his return from Hilo. Mr..
Highton then agreed to a trial by the
court, remarking that Judge Estee, in
his decision, left little for the jury to
try. To this Judge Estee replied that
the answer of Peacock admitted nearly
everything, and that only the question
of the value of the Whalen appeared TO
be left. The case will be heard by
Judge Estee on January 10.

4 Note of Dissent.

The claim of certain Hawaiians for
town in Honolulu in the efforts of the
health officials to stamp out the bu-
bonic plague in that city, which is now
before the committee on territories of
the House of Representatives, involves
an interesting question. That is,
whether the United States government
shall be held liable for expenses in
CURED by the government of our insu-
lar possessions in the performance of
their duties. This claim has been re-
ferred to a subcommittee on terrific
ries composed of Representatives Pow
ers of Maine, Cushman of Washington,
and Robinson of Indiana, and these
Congressman have been busy giving
hearing to the claimants and their wit
nesses. This subcommittee will pre-
pare it's report at the conclusion of it's
labors and on their report will depend
the action of the full committee and
probably of Congress.
The matter is being watched with a
great deal of interest, especially among
Democratic members of Congress.
These say that if the claim should be
acted on favorably it will result in the
bringing forward of similar claims
against the Federal government by in
habitants of the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico for damages sustained by
them in enforcing the quarantine reg
ulations If Congress should pass this
claim it is not easy to see how it could
discriminate against claims of a similar
nature from our other possessions.
Democrats say that the insular govern
ments ought to be held responsible, if
anybody is, for such claims, and they
purpose to see that this shall be done.
