A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce was held yesterday afternoon,
attended by President F. ]. Lowrey,
Secretary J. G. Spencer, E. L Spald-
ing, w. Pfotenhauer, A. CARVE, ]. A.
Kennedy and L. Tenney Peck.
Secretary Spencer reported having
written 10 r. NJ. match stating that it
would be impossible for Governor Car
ter to join the Washington delegation.
He had also written to the San Fran
cisco Chamber inviting it's Corpora
ton with the delegation. Mr.. Spald-
ing reported information from J. F.
Morgan of the canvassing committee
that the $4,000 voted for the expenses
of the delegation had practically all
been subscribed.
The Italian Chamber of Commerce
in San Francisco invited Hawaiian

endeavor to secure, through the Leg
islature, the appointment of a com
mission for the study of tax laws and
to present their conclusions to the
next Legislature. A bill was intro
duced into the House and Senate deal
ing with this commission but failed to
secure executive endorsement; and was
lost.
We would draw the particular at
tention of the members of the Asso-
citation to Act 50 passed by the last
Legislature in relation to suits on open
accounts; this act we believe will af-
ford considerable protection to the
merchant against attempted fraud on
the part of debtors, particularly in the
matter of disputes as to deliveries -
We here desire to record our apprecia-
ton of the efforts made in the Legis-
lature by many Representatives on be-
half of the various measures prepared
or supported by your Committee; with.
out this valuable assistance it is
doubtful whether the fOrenamed law,
or the act prohibiting the sale of
trading stamps in the Territory would
have found their place on the statute
books of the Territory.
We endeavored to secure the passage
of an act to amend the Revised Laws
of Hawaii re annual exhibits by cor
porations; this attempt failed and the
matter viii now come before you in a
more acute form than heretofore.
A useful amendment was secured to
the law relating to a tax on foreign
corporations trading in the Territory
we trust the Treasurer of the Territory
will secure the financial benefits the
act provides, so that &all corporations
trading in the Territory viii be on ID
more equal basis of taxation than they
have been in past years.
The question of the method of as
sessing stocks of merchandise for tax
alton, particularly re the assessment
of purely merchantile businesses as en-
terprises for profit was placed in the

hands of your Committeest to discuss
with the Tax Assessor; individual
eases were dealt with by the Assessor
in a manner satisfactory to the Com
mittee, but no definite general basis
of assessment of stocks of merchan-
disc could be arrived at. We respect
fully recommend that the legal right
of the Assessor to assess mercantile
businesses as enterprises for profit
be tested IN the courts this year, and
if possible adjust situation that is a
source of irritation to the taxpayer
and one of difficulty to our courteous
Tax Assessor.

To
KEEP ALIVE
Builders and Traders
Have Decided to
Revivify It.

AT a meeting of the Builders ant
Traders Exchange held last night, the
following We're present:
Messrs. Bath. Hamburg, Emmeluth
Keen, J. Mott, Jr., Clark, Stevenson
Sharp and Craig.
President Emmeluth stated that the
object of the meeting was to determine
whether or not the exchange should be
done away with. Acting on a general
suggestion he had endeavored to OBJ
tain a consensus of opinion of the
members as to whether the exchange
| should be disbanded or not, by sub
hitting a mailed query to that effect.
He said that things had been very
quiet with organization for some time
past but thought that the exchange
had a future and should continue to
exist, if only to perform civic duty
by assisting as much as lay in it's
power in the architectural beautifca-
ton Of Honolulu.
He realized that if the exchange
were to be kept together, members
would have to put their shoulders to
the wheel in a more decisive manner
than they had been doing the past six
months.
IF it is decided to continue the ex-
change" he concluded, I'VE must all
get busy and do our share to revivify
it,
Secretary Keen stated that twenty |
replies had been sent in to the Presi- |
dents questions. Ten We're for and |
an equal number against longer main |
tanning the association. Such firms as |
H. Hackfeld & Co, Theo. H. Davies |
& Co, and Levers & Cooke, were |
in favor of continuing the |
exchanges existence.
The finances of the exchange were |
declared to be in a fairly satisfactory
condition.
L. E. Pinkham said that he, for one,
would be glad to see the past glories
of the exchange revived
j. Mott, Jr., thought it would be
pity to allow the exchange to go to |
the wall. especially as it was the on
ly organization in the operations of
which trades and mechanical pursuits
had a voice.
Stanley Stevenson was strongly in
favor of the exchanges continuance.
He said that what was needed was
for members to put their shoulders to 7
the wheel and get down to
the real work of the organization.
E. r. Bath favored the views of the
above mentioned gentlemen.
J. Sharp said that it would be a
great pity if, after so many years of
good work, the exchange were to be
He thought it was a sign
of encouragement that some of the
city's largest firms were in favor of
continuing the organization. The ex-
change could still do good work, he re-
marked, and should not be allowed to
lapse. especially at this time when
needed all the help she could
get from her citizens and was becom-
ing a city in the eyes of the world.
A. F. Clark thought the exchange
should not be allowed to die.
The sense of the meeting as record
ed, was that the Builders and Traders
Exchange should continue to exist but |
be revivified, if not reorganized.
An adjournment was taken until the
annual meeting, a week from today, |
when final decision will be made.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-01-11

it certainly was not desirable to have
made public.
Mr.. Bowen thought that only bona
fide residents should have access to
these exhibits.
TO DEFER FILING.
Mr.. Paris suggested that if the At
torney General would agree to defer
calling for the annual exhibits and
give the merchants time to bring the
matter before the court, it would be
worth while. If the case fell through,
then the exhibits could be filed
Mr.. McInerny did not believe the
Treasurer would consent. On Mr..
Smiths suggestion a motion was made
by Mr.. Wakefield to refer the matter
to a committee and this passing,
Messrs. Wakefield McInerny and Har-
ris were appointed to make a report
and present same to a special meeting
next week.

dinner takes place tonight at the Ha-
Waiian Hotel.

the best arguments against Mr..
BowenS position. He did not believe
it the best thing to have private BUSH
ness affairs brought before the public
eye. He could see why Mr.. Bowen
would have no objection to filing ex-
hibits in corporations because they
are sugar plantations whose habit is
to make out complete reports for the
public gaze, and this because of the
number of stockholders entitled to the
reports. While the exhibits may not
be in detail yet competitors would
want to see what another merchant
made during the year and what his
expenses were, etc. This would tend
to discourage people from going into
business. 1t might be an American
way to handle these corporation mat
tiers but he did not believe it was en-
tirely the policy in America to have
detailed business made 50 public.
Mr.. Hagens and others agreed with
Mr.. Dillingham;.
LEAKS FROM OFFICES.
E. A McInerny said he had followed
this matter rather closely. The bill
before the last legislature was intend
ed to ameliorate conditions which the
treasurer insisted on enforcing. It was
suggested to the Governor and Treas
urer that the exhibits be only for the
use of the officials and they would be
the ones to stop any evasion. Any
official making public any exhibit
should be guilty of misdemeanor. One
exhibit was made public. Information
leaked out of the tax office and that
Information defeated a lawsuit. No
information. About a year ago some
one copied the exhibit of the Pacific
Hardware Co, and offered to sell it
to a competitor for So. That was GER
tainly Objectionable and the publicity
given to exhibits renders it unsafe to
corporations. The blanks call for de-
tails of liabilities, stock on hand, cash
on hand and in the bank, etc.
OPPOSED TO BOWEN.
w. W. Harris did not agree with
Mr.. Bowen. He believed the associa-
ton should take the matter up. Mr..
Rodiek agreed with Mr.. Dillingham;
and Mr.. McInerny. Mr. Paris even
believed the corporation exhibit law
to be superfuous.
President Smith made an able adj
dress favoring the line of argument
projected by Messrs. Dillingham; and
McInerny. None of the merchants
have tried to evade the law. There
were private matters of business which
