The John Hopkins arrived last
night at 1880 O'Clock and did not
get away until nearly noon today on
account of no labor, and this condi-
ton was coupled with one of the big

TESTED AND PROVEN.

TAX COURT GIVES
IMPORTANT RULE
EVA PLANTATION ALLOWED DE-
DUCTION OF SS5,3Ol Sc IN INCOME
CASE.

The Tax Appeal Court gave an inn
portant ruling this morning in the APP
pealed income tax case of Eva planta-
ton. The decision is as follows:
THE appellant in this case appeals
from the ruling of the Tax Assessor,
who disallows the amount of $50 ,3Ol. 36
claimed by appellant as depreciation
deductible from gross income for the
year 1906 and urges before this court
that such depreciation is necessary
expense in the production Of its sugar
crop, and as such is fairly and legally
deductible under the provisions OF the
income tax law of this Territory.
1T is urged by counsel for the AS
SCISSOR that the question at issue has
been definitely decided by the Supreme
Court of the Territory, more particular
ly in the case of the Rapid Transit e
Land Co. VS.. Tax Assessor (1Sth Haw
page 49,, and with equal confidence by
the appellant that the decision in the
case of the Little Miami Railway Co.
VS.. U. S. (1OS U. s. page 227) justifies
the claim for deduction made in this
case. The evidence presented leaves
no reasonable doubt that the deprecia-
ton claimed is actually a part of the
expense of producing the movable
property named in Schedule A Of the
Tax return. The wasting of steam
boiler is as real an expense as the con-
sumption of the fuel beneath it. Ar
gument is hardly needed on this point,
and no business man will dispute it.
"In the decision of the Supreme
Court of the Territory in the case OF
the Rapid Transit & Land Co. VS.. the
Tax Assessor referred to, the court held
that depreciation of property due to
climate and wear and tear is not de-
ductible under the head of leases ac-
| tually sustained or incurred" and

IS PERJURY DEFENsIBLE?

EDITOR STAR:-One cannot but
wonder upon reading a certain article
in Yesterdays contemporary regard
ing the Holt case of cattle stealing in
Wahiawa. whether the writer was an
old-time rustler himself or simply an
attorney for the defense. If he lived
where he suffered personally from the
depredations of the crowd he is trying
to defend it might change his attitude.
1t may be an art to run a market on
the basis of a small herd of cattle
whose number never diminishes and
without purchasing any additional
stock, but not an art to hold up for
the emulation of the public; the writer
himself having lost valuable import
ed COW which disappeared along with
dozens of others from Leilehua, natu-
rally looks at the matter seriously
Marks, the man in charge of the Holt
slaughter house, confessed positively
to having butchered stolen cattle with
the Dowsett brand, he and Holt are
caught butchering supposedly stolen
cattle, and upon being called upon to
show the hides hastily place them un-
der lock and key and positively refuse
to produce them, yet he has the eff
frontery to deny this in court, confess
to perjury and expect to go scot free.
What traverty on Justice! 1t goes
beyond that of dismissing the Korean
washerwoma whose recent dep"eda-
lions leave us at least 800 poorer, who
was let off with a fine OF $40, because
we could only give the exact date OF
the stealing of one article found in her
trunks.
Fortunately we are to have a
mounted police in Wahiawa and cattle.
stealing will be at least more difficult
than heretofore, but that Mr.. Marks
should be further discouraged from
helping himself to our stock, and his
principal rs well, seems highly impor-
tant to the community. We want no
false sentiment against a conviction
for perjury and we do not believe the
public will excuse any such trih1ng
with the courts as in the case referred
