KAHULUI HARBOR
IMPROVEMENT
CONFERENCE ON THE SPOT BHTw ENGINEER
DWELL SUPERINTENDENT CAMPBELL
AND REPRESENTATIVES, UFKAHULUt RAILROAD COMPANY
PLANS ARE OFFERED BY BOTH COMPANY AND GOVERNMENT.

Captain Otwell, of the U. S. Engineer
Corps, returned from Kahului this
morning on the Claudine. He mas been
at the Maui port for the purpose Of
holding a public hearing in relation
to the establishment of permanent
harbor lines There were few in at
tendance at the meeting, among these
being H. P. Baldwin, J. N. S. Williams,
Hugh Howell, Ferdinand Hons, Judge
Kepoikai and Marston Campbell.
There were only two plans brought
out, one of TIese being that of the Ka-
hului railroad and the other offered by
the Superintendent of Public Works,
Marston Campbell, for the Territorial
Government. The railroad cOmpany's
plan expressed the wish to build
wharves along the proposed harbor
line on the easterly side of the harbor
and the objection offered to this was
that if the harbor should be improved
later on these wharves would shut OF
completely the most valuable part OF
the protected water. As a temporary
structure it would be all right but as a

permanent one very much out Of place.
Campbells plan consisted of build
ing a bulkhead out about two hundred
feet from, and practically parallel to,
the present shore line. The harbor
line would parallel this, at a distance
of six hundred feet, turning a little
north of west to a point one hundlTd
and fifty feet from the breaIlwater and
following parallel to that structure at
the same distance to its end.
Superintendent Campbell wished to
place a wharf to the west of the pres
ent structure at a point where the
channel is now nearly twenty-nine feet
deep. This structure would be a gov
ernment wharf, for which an appro-
priation was made by the legislature
of 1907, but vetoed by George X. Car
ter, the then Governor.
Mr.. Baldwin stated that he would
welcome the building of a public wharf
and that there was no objection on the
part of the railroad to such a move.
Further plans will be submitted to
Captain Otwell in writing.

Within ten days the water leaking
from the reservoir has risen from

of the old Gear & Lansing stables

The Tax Commission, which holds
its final melting in the Chamber Of

building, commencing at o'clock, will
have a large attendance. Among those
whom the members of the commission,
Messrs. Perry, Judd and Peck, expect
are c. M. Cooke, p c. Jones, Il. c..

be brought up, some of which are en-
tirey new and others of which have
been fought oyer for many years.
In speaking of the matter today one
of the Commissioners said:
The equalization of taxes is the
main point which we have to fight for.
For instance take the poll tax. That
is the same for everyone and it IS hard
to make any valid excuse, but when
it comes to the property and income
taxes it is a different matter. The
question of a graduated property tax
has been brought to our attention by A
V. Gear and the graduated income tax
came up before the last legislature.

tax on foreign corporations. We un-
derstand that Il. c. Brown, of the
Dearborn Drug Company, will have
something to say on this subject. If
you remember, the act of the legisla-
ture regulating the tax on foreign cor
porations was passed to protect the
local firms doing business here, that a
firm from the mainland might not send
down a drummer once year. who,
paying no taxes, would skip around the
7rritory and undersell the local firms
which carry their large stocks on hand
and pay taxes on them.
The complaint is that this is hardly
fair in the case of a firm which, though
a foreign corporation, has a branch
here and keeps a large stock of goods,
on which it pays taxes, on hand all the
time. This is true, l understand, OF
many firms here, among them the one
Mr.. Brown represents. This law is
lodged by other firms who turn their
agency over to local concern which
does little with it, but the mainland
firm sends a drummer down here once
or twice a year who handles the husI-
ness and then goes back, acting while
here as a representative of the local
firm, though in reality no such thing.

things for the organization we're

meeting in December. 1867, the ques-
ton arose as to the feasibility OF
creating an order for charitable as
we'll as social purposes. The idea
met with general savor, and 1t was de-
cided to form society with broader
scope and nobles purpose. A
committee of seven was appointed
with full power to provide constitu-
ton, ritual, by-lays and name for
the new order. The committee con.

Forty years ago, il small room of
a house at II Delaney street, New
York city, the Benevolent and Protect
i've Order of Elks was born.
1t is to the stage and the people of
the stage that the Elks owe their exist
ance. The founders had no thought
that the order would ever reach it's
present gigantic proportions, and
although it has long since outgrown
the limitations that made members Of
the theatrical profession alone eligible
for membership, the organization has
ever been in sympathetic touch with
the people Of the stage.
The excise laws that were passed by
the legislature Of New York in 1866
led incidentally to the founding of
the Elks. Actors, as rule, are q
jovial, free-hearted set, and with a
rigid enforcement of the excise laws
they were deprived of one of their few
sorces of amusement. Sunday was
the only day in the week the actor at
that time could call his own, and as
his mind demanded relaxation from
the cares of the week he generally
sought the companionship of kindred
