MERCHANTS ASK WHY

Mr.. Kepoikai replied that this was SO,
but that the receipts were coming In
very slowly. OF the estimated re-
ceipts for February ($77,0OO) there
was $4,000 still to come and 1t was
already past the middle Of the month.
For the past ten years, the receipts
for February had never fallen below
$4,000 but he was afraid that they
would go below this for the present
yea.
Continuing, Mr.. Kepoikai said he
could see why the bankers had refused
to take the registered warrants. The
question Of the validity of the appro-
priations had naturally arisen. There
was vast difference Of opinion as to
what basis should be taken for the ap-
preparations and was natural for the
bankers to ask: Where are we at?"
"There is but one course to pursue"
said Mr. Kepoikai. "A test case must
be brought and when basis is decided
on the banks will be willing to ad-
vance the money. can then go to
them and get $l5O,0O0 In cash and

HOLLOWAY READY
At ONCE
TO BUILD STABLES

AS soon as possible. work will be
started on the new government stables
III Kakaako, the site chosen being
close to Lord & Belser's stables. The
plans have all been prepared and all
that binders now is the state Of the
weather.
The stables are to be 353-150 feet
and provision will be made for 40
stalls for mules and horses, besides
sheds and other necessary buildings.
II is the present plan Of the Super
tendent Of Public Works to join the
garbage and road department stables
into one Just as he has combined the
two offices running these respective
departments. Mr.. Holloway is certain
that this will result In a great saving
OF money to the government.
Mr.. Holloway stated to Bulletin
reporter this morning that he had
planned to have the hall Of records
placed where the road department
stables now stand. He does not think
that this is proper place for the arm
ory Of the N. G. H. and that the hall
OF records 10 much more important
and therefore should receive the very
first consideration. The plans for this
building are now being prepared by
Architect Traphagen.
As to site for the new armory, Mr.
Holloway said he was living In hopes
that the government would be given
back the present site for the military
It was perfectly adapted to the pur.

In the proper light at Washington. the

ties and liabilities as his predecessor,
and shall collect all taxes then unpaid,
and shall carry on any proceedings
commenced by his predecessor" "All
taxes then unpaid" Is a phrase too
clear to need definition or explanation.
Another question is whether the tax
books or assessment rolls were cor.
rectly admitted in evidence In support
of the plaintiffs case-Section SO of
the Act of 1896 &c. L.. Sec. sS9) an.
swers this In the Affirmative. That
section reads: "The assessment or
tax lists; tax books and copies thereof
and delinquent lists showing unpaid
taxes assessed against any person or
property, shall be prima facie proof of
the assessment Of the property and
person assessed. the amount of taxes
due and unpaid and the delinquency
in payment, and that ell forms Of law
in relation to the assessment and levy
of such taxes have been complied
WITH"
The third question Is whether the
plaintiff can recover at all, the conten.
ton Of the defendant being that the
debt Is due to the Government and not
to Mr.. Keola. either in his individual
or in his official. capacity. Section 80
Of the Act already referred to &c. L..
Sec. 1922 provides that. IF any tax be
unpaid when due, the assessor may
proceed to enforce the payment of the
same. with all penalties as follows:
(2) BY suit or action In as.
sumpsit, In his own name, on behalf OF
the Republic Of Hawaii. See also c.
L., Sec. $50. BY Section 40 &C. L..
Sec. 843) deputy assessors are given
with exceptions not material In this
case, the same power and authority
possessed by the assessor. This &C
ton was brought by the plaintiff as
deputy assessor of taxes in and fol

the declaration or summons is, thai

fully indebted to the plaintiff, In his Of

1t was said this morning that unfor-

that further investigation was neces-

he could hardly expect to pay IS for :,

shared this view Of the
Treasurer.
Mr.. Lowrey asked further what the
during the year would
probably amount to. Mr.. Kepoikai re-
piled that he could not say as to that.
Heads OF departments could go ahead
and authorize the expenditure of some.
thing over 100000 although he had
given warning to keep within 100000.
Mr.. Lowrey wanted to know II there
was any reason to suppose that the re-
ceipts of 1904 would be as large as
those of 1908. He did not think this
could be and therefore, the $52s.OOO es.
innate of the Treasurer could hardly
be relied on. He gave as his reason
for being sceptical the depreciation In
real estate and other values. Mr.. Nor.
gan agreed with Mr.. Lowrey, saying
that there would be more appeals In
the Tax Appeal Court on account OF
the hard times and the anxiety Of the
people to pay only what they absolute.

err than being assessed at the value at
which they might stand. This would
make considerable difference in val
| uation and hence'in the taxes paid In.
Mr.. Wakefield asked about the re.
ceipts from income taxes and Mr..
Fisher replied that he did not believe
there would be much Of change.
Continuing, Mr.. Fisher stated that
1 the present financial condition OF the
Government was due to cover appro'
priations by the Legislature. For years
back, on the first day of January there
was always a substantial balance on
hand to start in on. The Legislature
had appropriated beyond the estimated
revenues of the country and the pres
ent year started out with nothing In
the Treasury. One thing the Legisla.
ture did was to insert an appropriation
of $3.50 900 for the Hackfeld wharf In
the Current Expense Bill instead OF
putting It in the Loan Bill, where II
properly belonged. This shortened
the balance at the beginning OF the
year by just SO much.
Mr.. Fisher, continuing, stated that
the Governor was the only brake on
the heads of departments. II war
rants from different departments, In
strict accordance with the appropria
ton law, were sent to him, there was
no alternative. He would have to sign
them.
Asked a question as to the nature OF
the warrants being issued, Mr.. Fisher
stated that SO far as expenses were
concerned, he was not issuing any war
rants except for money authorized by
the Eighteen Months Bill. This he
would persist in until the return oil
Governor Carter, when the test case
matter could be brought up.
AS to payment under the six months
bill, the Auditor replied that he was
going according to the authorization
Of the Governor and Senators who
met with him, the understanding being
that the Attorney General should bring
a test case into the Supre meCourt az
soon as possible.
