Of the frigid territory was practically nil when

| All the members present with two
exceptions spoke, all the speeches be-
ing in favor of endorsing Pinkham for
reappofntment. Nearly all of them paid
particular reference to the. Iwilei mat
ter and stated that for this one thing
alone he should be endorsed. Doctors
Walters. Judd. Murray and Cooper
spoke highly of the efficiency of Mr.
Pinkham in health matters, the former
stating that he had served under many
presidents during the past twenty-five
years and none of them were so cap
able and thorough as Pinkham
DR.. Waterhouse stated that he did
not endorse everything that Pinkham
had done, mentioning particularly the
batting of the Japanese as something
in which he had gone outside of the
bounds of his duty to the community
On the Iwilei matter. however, as this
seemed to be the main ground of at
tack on the president of the Board of
Health, he wished to endorse him.
There was some question early in the
meeting of whether it was best for the
society to endorse Pinkham for reap
pointment or merely to endorse his ad-
and let it go at that, this
point being raised by DR.. Herbert. 1t
was the expressed determination of the
to keep out of politics in the
matter, this being stated before the
meeting began, by practically every |
speaker during the meeting and again |
after the meeting had adjourned It |
was decided however that the reap |

TAXPAYERS AND
COMMISSION
Public Hearing Given at the
Chamber of Commerce
Headquarters.

The public hearing given by the Tax
Commission yesterday afternoon in the
room of the Chamber of Commerce,
seemed to arouse considerable interest
in the very important subject with
which the commission has to deal
There was a very considerable attend
ance and large number of sugges-
tions were made. For the most part
the matters to which the attention of
the commission was called were mat
ters of administration of the tax law,
or of mere details of procedure. Very
few of those who appeared before the
commission had any principles'of taxa
tion to present or any system of taxa
ton to advocate. One exception to this
was H. E. Cooper who urged that in
fixing the basis for the imposition of
income tax there should be an allow
ance for depreciation of the income
producing property out of the gross
income to be taxed for the year.
James w. Pratt, as a result of his
experience in the tax office, urged the
assessment of land for taxation pur-
poses by the simple and straightfor-
ward way of assessing the whole value
on the fee, independent of how the in
terests in it might be divided UP by
way of leaseholds or otherwise. By
this means the tax office would be re-
lieved of the necessity of keeping track
of all the interests into which it might
be divided. BY Ievying the taxes on
the fee, the various interests would ad-
just themselves and the burdens OF
taxation. This would avoid most of |
the misunderstanding and difficulties |
about which so much had been said be- |
fore the commission.
Byron O. Clark and L. G. kellogg |
presented the most far reaching prin- /
eiples of taxation for the consideration
IF the commission. They proposed |
that all land OF equal value, |
considered Independent of improve
nents, should be taxed equally, indie
pendent of whether it was put 10 pro-
luctive use by the owner or not. Sub
idiary to this they proposed that taxes
should be taken off of growing crops,
pecifically, and generally off of indus
ry Mr. Kellogg proposed also a
tax on large areas of land,
Is for instance that land in one owner
hip in excess of 100 acres should be
axed higher for each additional one
hundred acres. This is the principle
hat is in force in the taxation system
f New Zealand.

MEDICAL SOCIETY ENDORSES.
President L. E. Pinkham, of the
Board of Health, was unanimously en-
dorsed for reappointment by the eleven
members of the Hawaiian Territorial
Medical Society who attended the meet
action in the maIuer last night. The
stand taken by the majority of the
doctors was that PinSham's attitude
towards the medical fraternity of the
Territory demanded such endorsement
and that at this particular time, when
an attack was being made upon him
over his Iwilei policy, the attitude of
the society ought to be one of strong
endorsement and approval.
1t was stated at the meeting. and the
statement applauded, that Pinkham
had been justified in taking the steps
he had regarding Iwilei and further
justified. in view of the existence of
the Edmunds Act, of DENYING HIS
ACTIONS.
DR.. Raymond was the principal
speaker along this line, eulogizing
Pinkham for doing what he deemed the
best to mitigate the Iwilei evil, al
though he knew that the enforcement
Of the Edmunds Act in the Territory
made his actions illegal and forced him |
to speak deceptfvely as he did at the |
meeting of the Board of Health.

three parties. who had forced the Wal
ZACH issue upon the Board, to stand
by their man at the finish.
What it was that Wallach desired
to say he did not get far enough to
make known.
Motley compelled attention long
enough to show that he wished to
convict President Pinkham of having
changed the conditions of Walach's
proposed experiment after they had
been agreed upon and transmitted to
the joint political committee.
In this intended procedure Motley
was forestalled by the president, who
had informed the Board that the
stenographer had made an error in
transcribing the conditions. Mr.. Pink
hams statement was confirmed by
word for word comparison of the cor
rected agreement, referred to in the
resolution as above, with the minutes
of the Board.
Absolute silence followed the pres
ident's reference of the separate re-
quests OF Motley and Wallach for
hearings to the Board, showing that
none Of the members desired any more
debate of the. question at large.
THE PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
Mr.. Pinkham's submission OF the
matter in writing to the Board was as
follows:
In notifying, during the rush of
cholera work December 21st, John C..
