Dear Sir: Enclosed please find draft
of an act amending sections 1912 and
1925 of the Revised Laws of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, relating to the rate
per cent for property taxation
/ ask for your careful and earnest
consideration of the said proposed Act
and urge the following reasons for
its adoption:
(a) 1t would shift the burden of
taxation from the shoulders Of those
who can least afford to pay to the
shoulders of those who can best carry
it, President Roosevelt says in his
last message to Congress: AS far as
possible we should tighten the burden
of taxation on the small man."
CD 1t would be an encouragement
to the middle classes to acquire and
own their own homes. eve should put
a premium upon thrift hard work, and
business energy! Roosevelt
in his message.
(c) Progressive taxation is the fair
est and most just taxation in both
theory and practice. President Roose-
welt adopts the principles o progressive
taxation when he says in his message
to Congress: There should be a pro-
gressive inheritance tax on large for
tunes
