NEW TAX
METHODS

Besidea being rs sure ms death, taxes
have the added disagreeabieness OF
falling upon their victim more fire.
auently. Under amendments to the
tax law made at last session OF the
Legislature, taxpaying dates have been
increased almost to a confusing degree.
Notwithstanding that the declared OBJ
ject OF the authors was the humane
one OF dividing the burden over the
year. Yet there appears to be Gu
mutation of delinquent taxes on Mo-
vember 10 which is liable to make thar
date one to be dreaded.
A portion of the new law Will not
come into force this year. BY no.
tice OF Assessor Holt In this issue it In
made clear enough that this years
property and income taxes viii be-
come delinquent on November is, aft
er which they will carry a. ten per cent
penalty. This Is according to Section
IA of Act SO.
Section of Act 81 provides that
income taxes shall become due on the
first day of January of each year and
on May 10 following shall become de-
linquent as to one-half OF their
amount. The other half does not be-
come delinquent until November Is.
subject not only to 10 per cent penalty
but to interest at one per cent
month after fifteen days from delin-
quency.
Then, Section IA of Act SO, again,
makes all personal taxes DELINQUENT
after March 81. and half of all' real
and personal property taxes delinquent
on May 10, and the other half on Mo-
vember 15 with penalty OF 10 per cent
and, after Is days, interest of 10 per
cent per annum additional charged
Thus next year three classes OF taxes
are liable to cumulate in delinquency
upon the neglectful or the pinched
taxpayer.

WOMAN STRUCK
BY EXPRESS CAR

An elderly Portuguese woman was
knocked down by the Wells; Fargo ex-
press car at the 18th avenue on the
Waialae road late Wednesday after

which DR.. Moore stitched, but was not
much hurt otherwise. The woman had
suddenly stepped on the track to avoid
a cart, and being deaf did not hear the
ear gong. The motorman fortunately
had time to slow down before the cor
ner of the car hit the woman and
bowled her over. Having assisted in
carrying the injured woman into James
Carty's house. the motorman held the

GOOD WORK BY
GOVERNOR JACK

Acting Governor Atkinson spent his
last day In the gubernatorial chair In
strengthening out the last details of the
work he, has done since Governor Car
ter left, July LIST. Among the matters
he has been busy over are the inaugur-
alton of county government, organizing
the immigration board and forming
plans to Americanize the islands
throughout, the starting of more
liberal policy of cutting up land for
settlement, the question Of domicillng
all plantation labor. the selling of the
last bonds and the making of Nuuanu
park and the one on Hotel and Rich
ards streets. All these matters he will
report to Governor Carter as either
achieved or well under way.

CRUELTY To
A HUSBAND.

Now and then, in the local divorce
courts, the long chapter of cases Of
cruelty of husbands to wives is varied
by case where the weaker vessel is
charged with making life a burden TO
the man into partnership in whose joys
and sorrows she voluntarily entered.
The Camprido case now pending
seems 20 be specimen of this excep-
tional class.
Judge De Bolt yesterday partly
heard the suit for separation of Fred
rico Freitas Comprido against Maria
Rodrigues Comprido. s. F. Chilling
worth appeared for plaintiff and Leon
M. Straus for defendant. A score or
Whereabouts of the Portuguese colony
were in attendance as witnesses, NOT
counting babies. The court continued
the hearing, all witnesses being ordered
to return, until 10 o'clock this morning
for the purpose of settling the matter
of custody of three minor children, the
separation being as good as granted.
Mr.. Chillingworth had mentioned
that decree of separation would
leave way for reunion if reconcilia-
tion between the parties might happily
take place in the future.
The parties were married by Father
Clement on August z, 1897. For cause
of separation the husband alleges a
course of ill-treatment of him by his
wife for two years prior to the bring
ing of the suit. He says he is baker
working long hours and having definite
and limited times for his meals, but
his wife had systematically neglected
to prepare his meals for him in due
season and, "instead of so acting as a
good wife she has been in the habit of
gadding around among her friends and
acquaintance" On numerous occa.
sions, when demonstrated with for
violent temper and used improper Ian
guage toward complainant.
1t Is also alleged that she had been
in the habit of visiting at a certain
place in Honolulu, "much to the chag-
rim, annoyance and worry of plaintiff"
as he "did not think that the people
there residing were fit and proper as
sociates for his wife, and such visits
were extremely Objectionable to him.
Yet, when he frequently demonstrated
with her for such errancyI only ebulli-
lions of temper on her part resulted.
On June IL, 1905, when he remon-
strated with her for her actions and
begged her to stay at home with their
children, she abused him in violent and
improper language and said to him
that the people she was visiting were
better people than he, and she would 60
where she liked and stay as long as
she liked. The same day she deserted
their home, taking with her the two
younger children, and had ever since
refused to return home and bring with
her the children, and had refused to
give the children up to plaintiff,
"who,' as he says, ''desires the asso-
citation with them as delight and
pleasure after his arduous labors of the
day, as is natural with any father who
loves his children"

THE CABLE
TAXATION

Il VIII take up this question OF tax
ing the cable stored here by the Com
mercial Cable Company with Governor
Carter" said Acting Governor Atkin-
son yesterday. "If there is any possi-
BILE way of avoiding taxing them we
shall find 1t.
II am In favor of doing anything
in our power to show the cable COM
pany consideration. Untn saw the
articlesin this mornings Advertiser, /
was not aware Of any Territorial tax"
Attorney General Lorrin Andrews
said yesterday that he had before given
an opinion on the matter. "The aues-
ton of taxation of their reserve cable
was brought before me and this office
found that the same law holds In many
states We could not legally see how
1t could be treated differently from any
other corporation and the companys
own attorneys. after looking into the
matter, instructed the company to
pay"
Superintendent Gaines writes:
Honolulu, August 81, 1905.
Editor Advertiser: Your article this
morning referring to Restorer and taxes
We have never, of course, paid any
taxes to the Federal Government, nei-
Their have we been requested to do so.

CARTER AND LOAN
APPROPRIATIONS

The first matter to require Governor
Carter's attention on his return will
be the appropriations from the loan
bill. Acting Governor Atkinson stated
yesterday that he had great mass of
material ready for the Governor IS con
sideration.
"Each item must be taken up sep
arately,' he said, land treated almost
as if it were a new subject. A cut will
have to be made and each item must
be gone over carefully to see whether
it is really needful or whether all the
money in the bill will be necessary at
once.o

After transacting some business the
committee approached the matter Of a
change in the official staff. and Mr..
Boyd left the meeting. Before cciDg
so he stated that he considered. in
view of the .valos of tie pas. week,
that his formal connection with the
committee under former election,
should end. The work of the commit
tee, however. was Of primary impor-
lance, and nothing must be allowed to
interfere with its prosecution. He said
he considered the work greater than
any man or set of men, and that every
good citizen should be ready to make
a sacrifice for it. In spite of per-
sonal feelings, he declared, he was
ready to do what majority of the
body might ask, in the way of carry
ing on the work until the arrival of
Mr.. Wood, closing: "And no one will
make his administration of this Office
success, than will l."
