every year and that deep spirituality
was not even greater. This fact was
one which, he said, the synod should
consider prayerfully in its delibera-
tons during this session.
Church Needs Awakening.
The church needs great
awakening, he said. and prophe
sled that that awakening was
not far distant Previous to such an
awakening the church pays more at
tention to the building of edifices, rit-

delivery of sermons to the neglect of
meetings for prayer and the further
ng of spirituality There is too much
absorption in business and the pursuit
Of pleasure. AS the essential factors
in the clurch's progress he named

tive organization in the direction of the
church; second, pure. simple and heart

ing; fifth the aggressive and self-deny-
TO service on the part of both pastor
and members; sixth, special interceS.

pit at the First M. E. church yester-
day morning, speaking on the funda-

meeting of the Epworth League was
led by one of the younger members,

took as his subject, "Does Christian

evening service.
Mrs. Mack, superintendent of the

dren under her charge, led the service

day afternoon at half-past two. They
were assisted by G. j. Day and John

the only ones who pays income tax.
The laborer is said to be worthy of his
hire. Then why not let him keep his
hire instead of taking a part of it for
taxes just because he is laborer.
1.-The gross amount of revenue pro.
vided for the Territory from the prop.
erty tax at one per cent. is 1925. 600.
and from income tax S269, 900, total
of S1.544,000. Ny idea is to elimi-
nate the income tax and have a straight
property tax of LIZ per cent. with an
equable assessment. This will give a
total revenue of 1912, 900. an increase
of $685. 900. Half of the revenue goes
to the Territory and half TO the Coun-
ties. I would also give the entire col
leetiOns from licenses to the Counties
The Territory would lose 100000. If

they pay their income tax indirectly
through the company which is assessed
on its stock. Then again there are the
owners of our Hawaiian stocks, who
live away from here on incomes de-
rived from their investments on these
Islands They have their homes on the
mainland or in Europe. They make a
small payment TO the revenue on the
stock they hold but do nothing else
whatever to benefit these islands, only
draining them of large sums of money.
''The income tax has been held to be
unconstitutional in those States where
II has been tested. and my opinion is
that it is unconstitutional. Here it is
not an income tax but a tax on labor.
Men who have incomes. large incomes,
do not paw any such tax as the law
calls for. But the man who sells his
labor. even at rate of four dollars
n day. has to pay it. The clerk, the
salesman. the bOokkeeper all sell their
labor and they are the ones who have
to pay the income tax. Any man who
is earning wages is a laborer. He sells
