BIC TAX CASES
OVER ON MAUI

| WAILUKU, July 13.-Maui also ha
some big income tax appeals pending
The Hawaiian Commercial and Suga
Co. appeals from the action of tn
Board of Equalization in its refusal t
allow deductions aggregating $lS6,22
for depreciation of its machinery.
The company claimed this deduction
in its income as the plant had depre
ciated this amount by reason of it.
/ use during the year. The contention
! OF the Government is that while the
! depreciation of the amount returned 10y
! the company may be correct it shout,
/ have been deducted from the value OF
/ the plant and not from the income. The
/ case occupied two days before the Tan
Appeal Court here this week. Deci-
sion is reserved.
The appeal of the Waikiki Sugar Co
was from she aggregate amount of the
valuation of the property of the com
pany. The company returned the prop
erty as being worth $1,100,000 while
the Board of Equalization raised the
valuation to 81 100000.
Manager c. B. Wells was the only
witness for the company and Tax As
SCISSOR W. T. Robinson was the oniy
witness for the government.
Mr. Wells testified that the acreage
of the holding of the plantation was
fourteen or fifteen thousand acres of
which 1897 acres are cane lands, valued
at 800 per acre. 136 acres of taro
lands valued at $500 per acre, 20 acres
Of rice lands valued at 5000 or $500
per acre, 1921 acres of pasture lands
valued at 95 per acre and about $50
acres of forest lands that are value
less.
He stated that the cost of the ma
ture crop on January first of this year
was $4,000 while the Board doubled
that amount as the valuation for taxa
ton purposes. The crop of 1905 was
1928 tons while the crop of 1906 was
but 1869 tons. He showed that TAXA
ton per ton of sugar on the Wailuku
Sugar Co. was higher than on any plan
tation in the islands.
On cross examination he admitted
that much Of the land that is now
classed as cane land was formerly taro
land. In the matter of town lots he
said he had returned them as cane land
and that while none were for sale he
was offering to exchange them at the
rate of from one to three and one to
four OF taro lands with water right.
He said he reserved the water right
on the lands he exchanged and ac-
quired those rights on the lands he got
in exchange. Questioned as to the
value of the shares of the company he
stated that he had offered twenty of
his own shares at 5000 per share.
Assessor Robinson testified that he
had valued the property at $4,000, 900
but the other members of the Board
had overridden him in the valuation.
He said he had bought many pieces
of land in Waikiki, Waiehu and Wal
kapu and that he valued taro lands
in those places at from $340 per acre
to 500 per acre. He estimated the
amount of land in and around Wailuku
that should be classed as town prop
erty about thirty acres.
The testimony showed that many
acres of lands that are now classed
as cane lands are in reality taro lands.

Of the Kaiser. Councillor Of State Mar
tin. who has written several sensational

The trouble was that in his latest

also the kingdoms of the Balkans and
the empire OF the Sultan, and when
that was done. France was to be

The Kaiser is said to have read the
