RAILWAY COMPANY
MUST PAY LAND TAX

Some degree of Impotence is evinced
by the Supreme Court regarding the
importantly of Oahu Railway & Land
Co. in trying to avoid the payment of
taxes on its land interests Deciding
the corporations latest appeal, being
the third time to the same effect, the
court hands down it's opinion through
the medium of the clerk.
Justices Hartwen and Wilder and
Circuit Judge De Bolt tried the appeal
Castle and Wilmington represented the
taxpayer and NJ F. Prosser Deputy
Attorney General, the assessor. The
minute of decision adopted contains the
following statement of the case and of
the law:
This is an appeal from the tax ap-
peal court of the first taxation division
sustaining an assessment of $500, 600
upon it's interest in certain lands leased
to the Eva Plantation Co, Ltd. This
is the third time that this assessment
has been before this court, the con-
tentions of the taxpayer having been
twice overruled in Is Haw. 564 and II
Haw. 163. The facts are not substan-
TALLY different from what they were
then and therefore need not be re-
stated.
There is no merit in the contention
OF the taxpayer that the assessment is
invalid and void because contrary to
the statute and to the federal consti-
tuition. That question was disposed of
in Il Haw. 1853
The claim of the taxpayer that this
court has changed the settled law that
this contract was not taxable has no
application to the facts of this case,
because the interest which is taxed is
an interest in land and specifically
made taxa BILE by the statute
The evidence shows that the amount
of the assessment is not too high. The
decision of the tax appeal court is
affirmed.

Senator Dickey's
Local Option Bill


The Anti-saloon League having re
quested me 10 write upon this topic, it
is a pleasure to comply. First of all it
is well to gain clear idea of what
this bill is. It reads thus:
Be it enacted by the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii:
Section l. At every general election
held in the Territory of Hawaii after
the passage of this act the question
of the prohibition of the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors shall be presented to the
voters of each election precinct. The
ballots to be used at such election for
this purpose shall be of such color and
size as shall be selected by the Secre-
tary of the Territory and shall read as
follows:
shall the sale OF intoxicating liquors
be licensed in this precinct during the
next two years.
Yes Observation-Disclosures. ..........
No ...-..--.--....... '.-.......'.''
And the voter shall indicate his OPP
ton by making a cross in the space on
the right side of the ballot prepared
for that purpose. The rules and regu-
lations for voting for members of the
Legislature shall apply to voting on
this question as far as practicable.
Section .. If a majority at any such
election in any precinct shall vote
Yes" the general laws in relation to
licensing the sale of intoxicating hq-
uors shall have force and effect in
such precinct, but if a majority at such
election shall vote mo" then it snail
be unlawful for the Treasurer or other
authorized officer to issue any license
to sell intoxicating liquors within that
precinct during the next ensuing two
years.
Section 3. This act shall become a
law from and after its approval.
An admirable feature of this sug-
gested law is it's simplicity. 1t needs
not one word of explanation to make
its provisions clear to the average citi-
zen.
The bill also proposes practically
costless method of settling a great ques-
ton. In Hawaii taxes are already suf-
ficiently high. Anything that will add
to this burden is naturally an object
of suspicion. The present law which
authorizes an appeal to the voters is
very unjust to the opponents of saloons
because it entails upon them the ex-
pense of a canvass. Inasmuch as the
liquor business has been placed by the
Supreme Court of the United States
beyond the pale of the constitution and
has been stigmatized by this the high
est authority in our land as a danger
Gus occupation, it is not right for it's
opponents to be forced to bear the
heavy expense made necessary by our
present law in ascertaining whether
the people of any locality desire sa-
looms or not. Senator Dickey's bill cor
reefs this evil. The only cost involved
by it is the printing of the ballots-a
mere bagatelle
a very strong point in local option
is it's fairness to all. Those who OPP
pose the liquor traffic must remember
that saloon keepers and manufacturers
of alcoholic beverages have rights. So
ciety has created a demand for them,
has trained them to believe their bust

Miss KfeM sU0noM

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, f1atulency, nerv-
business, sleepleSsness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Wood bridge,
n. J., writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
- Restored health has meant so much to me
that I cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
=" For long time | suffered untold agony
with female trouble and Irregularities
which made me physical wreck. and no one
thought would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strong, and
feel it my duty to tell other suffering women
what a splendid medicine it is
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham,
has under her direction. and since her
decease, been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.
