PINEAPPLE TAX
APPEAL CASES
Oahu Tax Appeal Court Gives
Act of 1907 Widest
Construction.

The Tax Appeal Court for Oahu yes
terday rendered a decision in the FIVE
pineapple exemption eases. BY stipu
lation the appeals by each of the tax
payers claiming exemption under the
Act of 1907, were to be decided by one
decision applying to each. This deci-
sion was rendered yesterday. It holds
that the exemption Act of 1907 ex-
empted all property used in the produc-
ton of pineapples.
The decision is in line with the de-
cisions of Tax Appeal Courts on the
other islands in similar cases. All the
cases have been appealed on behalf of
the Territory. The following is the
decision:
THE wording of the law is clear
and the court cannot go back of the
law itself to find intentions not ex-
pressed therein. Section 1923 of Re
vised Laws, as amended by Act of APP
ril, 1907, provides that for FIVE years
from December 81, 1907, all property
real and personal solely and actually
in use for the cultivation and produc
ton of pineapples (and other specified
products) shall be exempt from prop
erty taxes thereon; the only exception
to this is in the proviso-' That such
exemption shall not apply to any land
in the excess of forty acres so used by
any one person, firm or corporation in
the cultivation and production of pine
apples. Whatever the Legislature
meant this is what is said, and the on
ly question that appears necessary for
further consideration is whether the
exemption applies as claimed by the
Tax Assessor only to the raw product,
and not to canneries and machinery
used for the later disposition of the
raw product.
"The tenor of these exemption acts,
and the Legislative discussions in CON
nection with them, leaves no doubt
that they were meant to encourage
new and diversified industries for
which manufacturing machinery might
be as useful and necessary as any ma
chinery for cultivation; nor does the
term pineapple as found in the law APP
pear to demand a restriction to any
particular stage of production short Of
a finished product in the marketable
form that may best suit or be necessary
to the producers.
9 Counsel of the appellants states the
purpose of these appeals to be to Sc
cure a construction of the Amendment
Of 1907, and it is therefore not neces-

A SILLY SAYING.
art is a common but silly o,

eft is a common but silly opin
ion prevailing among a Ger.
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells CIR
hurts, the more efficacious it is.7
So says well-known English
physician. He further adds !:
For example, let US consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so often
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
We have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with its usefulness. This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all it's wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
Goa livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating a medi.
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and IA
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa.

FINE INSTRUMENTS FOR
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

Theodolites and levels for the en-
gineering department of the Hawaii
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts arrived by the Alameda and were
unpacked and examined by Marston
Campbell at the Public Works Depart
ment yesterday.
These instruments are all of splendid
workmanship and of the latest design
in such things. One of the theodolites
is probably the finest instrument of its
class ever brought to these islands.
Its vernier readings can be made as
fine as ten seconds. 1t has a gradient
attachment giving a gradient of one in
a thousand, and it has adjusting and
correcting levels. The two other theod-
olites are less expensive instruments,
though excellent ones.
