GRADUATED
INCOME TAX
Plan of J.A. McC andIess
to Raise Moneyfor
immigration.

John A. McCandless, a Senator and
Minister of the Interior under the
Republic of Hawaii, now a capitalist
largely interested in the sugar industry
and other important local enterprises
is strongly in favor of graduated
income tax for raising the additional
revenue that may be needed to carry
on the present immigration policy of
the Territory.
elm my opinion Mr.. McCandless
said yesterday, ''it would be very un-
wise to raise our present tax rate on
property from one per cent.
How much money do we want for
immigration-if that is the only rea-
son they want to raise the tax rate
Whatever the amount. | maintain that
the way to get that money is out of
a progressive income tax. Let the rich
men stand it, if they will benefit by
it. | believe the Supreme Court would
stand by graduated income tax.
Il would make the first $1,000 to
$500 pay l per cent, from $500 TO
$4,000 say . per cent. or l IL per cent,
from $4,000 to $4,000 another one-half
per cent, $4,000 to $4,000 another half
per cent, and over $4,000 still another
half per cent, or sufficient to meet the
requirements of the problem. For they
can get data in the Tax Office to show
just what will be needed.
Make it q progressive income tax
and then they will have money for inn
migration. For L think no one can
deny that there is no tax more just
than a progressive income tax. An in
come tax measure has been introduced
in the French Asse mbly by the Min
lstry, with a maximum rate of 4 per
cent. The income tax is one of the
principal sources of the British revenue.
tNow | think that is what our
Legislature should do for immigration
if the planters, the well-to-do people,
wish to help in bringing in immigra-
tion of class that will make American
citizens. But DON let our property
tax levy be increased. Once enter the
wedge in that place and there is no
saying where the process will end. To
pile taxes on property would tend to
defeat one of the very objects of in
Producing European immigrants, name
ly, the building up of Independent
homes of people capable of bearing the
responsibilities of citizenship and thus
developing the Territory on American
lines.
"While I thoroughly believe that
man with an income of a thousand
dollars should pay something, still |
would not increase the tax ON small
incomes. Let those who are well able,
those who will receive the more imme-
date benefits from the Introduction of
labor, bear the principal weight of the

COURT INTERPRETERS.

Kaleiopu introduced q resolution call
ing for information regarding the eiti
zenship of the interpreters in the Cir
cult Court of the First Judicial Circuit
KANIHO UNDISMAYED.
The sustaining of the veto on Sen
ate Bill 80 was brought up again by
Kaniho, who stays with his lava flow
road bill like pup to a root. In
view of the fact that the Senate had
changed its mind and overriden the
veto, he thought the House ought to
do the same.
The action of the House had beer
communicated to the Governor and the
members debated some time as TO how
they could get that communication
back.
Pail smoothly assured Kaniho that
he was with him, then blandly asked
him how he had voted on the veto. All
the House knew that Kaniho had voted
with the majority minority" and his
motion was out of order. This Pail
pointed out, but the speaker wanted
to hear from more members regarding
this majority minority matter before
ruling. In the vote sixteen members
lost to ten under the two-third rule.
Kaleiopu wanted to know why the
House was wasting its time over this
childishness and Pail promptly moved
an adjournment.
The speaker ruled against Kaniho,
but the member from Kohala was in
no wise discouraged and appealed 70
the good sense of the House, prefacing
this by the enigmatic remark that he
knew it was useless.
Correa moved to adjourn, but Kaniho
kept on his feet and his speech flowed
on, even after Rawlins broke in on it
and wanted the Chair TO insist on its
ruling.
Kaniho pressed his appeal from the
ruling of the Chair.
The Chair failed 10 hear a secOnder.
but Kaniho kept right along. explaining
that if given a chance to put in a
word he might get a secouder. He fail
ed TO see why sixteen wasn't more
than ten and why he wasn't one of the
majority even if they had been beaten.
He pressed this point TO a finish,
pounuIno his desk in his effort to show
that the whole is greater than Its
parts, Mahoe finally seconding his
motion.
Kaleiopu moved that the motion 20
appeal be laid on the table, Rawlins
seconding.
This carried and the House adjourned.

Der from Kohala, who had been told
that the report was to come up and
who had been asked repeatedly to
come before the committee and defend
his bill.
Rawlins said that Kaniho had risen
in his place and roared because the
Judiciary committee was holding up
two of his bills and he, Rawlins, had
gone to him time after time to get him
before the committee. Then Mr.. Ka-
niho got sick and the committee had
to go on without him.
Il want to say that if there was any,
one of the Judiciary committee who
wanted to be unfair to Mr. Kaniho

sign rather. I want to say that the
