October q, 1905.
Hilo Chamber of Commerce, Hilo,
Hawaii:
Gentlemen: In your letter of Sep
tember % you touch on the matter of
| income tax [ have thought it better
| to treat this subject separately in my
reply.
Hawaii, along with the other coun-
| ties other than Oahu, has complained
about the income tax. There appears
to be much misunderstanding in rela-
ton to the matter.
The Territory is not interested in any
manner in the disposition of the ques-
ton as to where the income tax is to
be paid, for it will receive its half in
any event. The Attorney for the
County of Kauai saw fit to attack a
Territorial official as the best method
of bringing this subject before the
courts, and the Attorney Generals De-
partment, of necessity, was forced to
defend this official and show that he
had simply carried out his duty &C
cording to their Interpretation of the
law. This was construed by the people
of Kauai to mean that the Territory
was fighting Oahu's battle. If the suit
had been brought against the Terri
torial Tax Assessor on the Island OF
Kauai, the Attorney Generals Depart
ment would have had to take the same
course.
The whole question of income tax was
taken up at the beginning of the last
session of the Legislature, and some
of the members were warned that there
would be complications in regard to it.
Probably the best solution was that
the income tax be left as whole to
the Territory, and in lieu thereof.
larger portion of the other revenues
be turned over to the counties.
The entire revenues of the State of
New York, I am informed, has been
so adjusted that there is no longer any

PORTUGUESE
FORM CLUB

A new Portuguese athletic club has
been formed. called the Lusitana Ath-
letic Club
The membership is already large and
the prospects of the new organiza ton
are very bright.
Two baseball mines have already been
organized and will play a series of
games in the near future. L. M. Ma
deiros has offered handsome trophy
for competition.
The games will probably be played
on Sundays, but this has not been
definitely arranged as yet.
There will be another meeting of the
club at the Orpheum tomorrow even
ing, when several athletic propositions
will be discussed.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-10-25

J conflict as to the division of any par
| tlcular tax between the county and the
state. The latter's revenues are the
taxes on corporations, franchises, etc. :
| the county's the entire direct taxes on
| property, etc
The Legislature, however, did not see
fit to take up such a division. nor did
| they seem to comprehend the differ
ence in the law between that which
provided an income tax; the one taxes
the property where it exists, the other
taxes the income where the person or
corporation resides who enjoys or re-
ceives it. And if 1 am correctly in
formed, the Legislature took the
amount of revenue that had previously
been received on each island and at
tempted to cut UP the whole so as to
equal the former proportions.
Now, rightly or wrongly, Oahu had
previously received the bulk of the in
come tax, and the representatives from
Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, who could
have controlled the matter, so far as
1 am aware, raised no objection to such
method of proportioning the rev.
enues. The proportion proposed was
agreed upon and carried out, and now
il appears that their constituents are
dissatisfied.
This does not surprise me, for not
one of the islands would care to have
the exactions or contributions taken
from its wealth spent for the benefit
of any other county. But instead of
complaining against the Territory or
its attitude in the matter, it would ap-
pear only fair that they should blame
their own representatives.
I have always endeavored to the best
of my ability to act justly and fairly
between the islands. and l hope that
perhaps some day this will be realized
and appreciated.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed} G. R. CARTER,
Governor.

Another point (Which must be -four
teenthly"! but let it go), we can not
see that there are any General" ap-
preparations. AS we read it, the whole
section is included under the head
General" which would allow you to
select appropriations from any part Of
the section.
We hope to hear favorably from you
on these matters and, thanking you
for your attention, we beg to remain,

BOARD OF TRADE LETTER.

The letter from the Hilo Board of
Trade, which drew forth the Cover
nor's response. is as follows:
HILO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Hilo, Hawaii, Sept %, 1905.
To His Excellency George r. Carter,
| Governor of the Territory of Hawaii;
| Honolulu, T. II.
| Sir: This letter is written at the in
stance of the Hilo Chamber of Com
merce and tie opinions herein express
ed were voiced at a meeting of said
Chamber held this day. In explana-
| ton, and so that you maye know just
what we represent we may say that
| this organization is one of plantation
managers and one or two Hilo business
men. It was started for the purpose
| of furthering every effort to get clean,
good government, and also to promote
| the best interests of this Territory and
| island. eve can claim to have exer-
cised some little influence, for it was
| owing to our efforts that a vote of
censure was not passed upon your ad-
ministration at our County Conven-
ton, and our continued efforts pro-
duced a Republican majority in East
Hawaii, although overwhelming num-
bers in West Hawai- turned the tables
on us.)
So much for Introduction. In this
letter we purpose discussing very
frankly, some of the needs of the Ter
ritory in general. and of this island in
particular, as they appear to US, and
we ask you to give our points your
careful consideration; for we assure
you that we are actuated solely by our
understanding of what is necessary for
this Territory and island, and we are
not hypercritfcal or carping in our as
sertionS.
We learn from newspaper reports
that you do not intend to borrow up
to the full amount of the loan money
which was appropriated by Act VI. of
the special session of the last Legisla-
ture, because. of the necessity there is
for economy. In this course we feel
sure that you will have the support of
all citizens who have the best inter-
ests of the Territory at heart if they
will give the matter the thoughtful
consideration which it deserves from
its Importance. Undoubtedly, much of
the work for which money was appro-
priated in that Act should be county
work pure and simple-after the means
have been placed at their disposal.
But at present, in your reported Sc
lection of items from this appropria-
ton, for which you do intend to Dor
row money, we must take issue with
you as to their relative Importance to
the Territory; and to understand
our point of view you must
realize that it is our honest convic-
ton that Oahu County now gets more
than its just share of the taxes. For
instance, we can not see why Oahu
should get half Of the income tax paid
by plantations on this island. just be-
cause they happen to have an agent in
Honolulu. The property and personal
taxes might with equal justice be d.
verted to the use of Oahu County.
