to gather this money through an in
direct tax"
The amount of money which would
be brought in by such a tax as that
proposed would be very large indeed
1t is estimated that close to 100000
barrels of oil are imported to Hawaii
from California each year through the
Pacific Oil Transportation Company
and the Union Oil Company. Coal
pays tax of two and half cents per
ton Since five barrels of oil equal
one ton of coal in cost, the tax on
oil would probably be half a cent per
barrel. This would mean that the tax
would bring in $4,000 per year from
oil alone.
When asked what he thought of the
proposition this morning w. f. Dill
lingham, representing the Union Oil
Company said:
I'm the first place I wish to call
your attention to one thing; that
practically all the old sold here is
sold under contracts which have been
made in San Francisco and are for
a term of years. How this oil could
be taxed fairly / do not see. How
about new contracts? Well, that
would be different proposition. of
course. AS far as we are concerned
it would not make much difference,
as the tax would come simply on the
consumers, as it does of course in all
cases in the end, though It may be
paid by the middleman, or the i'm
porter in the first instance. The
Union Oil Company certainly would
not dig down in its pocket for half
cent per barrel for local tax. For
that matter the raise of half a cent
per barrel would make considerable
difference in our contracts, some or
which are won or lost to the company
by that difference"
Dillingham; is in very peculiar po-
sition in the matter, as he is both the
representative of the Union Oil Com
pany and also vice-president of the
Merchants Association.

as well as to the maintenance and eX-
tension of both those public works, ten
per cent of the gross receipts must be
set aside for paying the principal OF

Governor Frear estimates that these
purposes will require the segregation
of $4,000 a year. re believes that
by economy of administration not only
can the extensions and Improvements
contemplated be carried out at early
dates, but the time of liquidatng the

although only ten per cent OF the re-

believes that savings in administration
can be made whereby larger propor-
tion of the revenue will be applied to
liquidation.

TO KILL
EDITOR SHEBA

"A man came into a barbers shop to
kill me-" Editor Sheba of the Hawaii
Shinpo stated in his cross-examination
by Mr.. Lightfoot in the conspiracy trial
this morning. The incident was
told as one of the effects of the infam-
matory articles in the Nippu Jill and
the Chronicle.
Witness said the writings were in
citing the people to kill him. All
would have been peaceful if it had
not been for those writings
The defendants had also held mass
meetings where all sorts of violent in
elements were uttered.

The next meeting of the directors of
the Merchants Association will take
up the matter of levying a shippers
wharf tax on the fuel oil imported in
this Territory. In speaking of the
matter this morning Secretary Emile
Berndt, of the association said
Since the announcement that tax
would be levied on the coal, lumber
and fertilizer coming to Hawaii for
the benefit of the sanitation and pro-
motion of the Territory, it has been
called to my attention that fuel oil
is now going untaxed. Since it stands
in virtually the same position as coal,
l fail to see any reason that it should
not pay as coal does and will call the
attention of the directors of the Mer-
chants Association to the matter at
the next meeting. r is a matter which
has been entirely overlooked and
which deserves immediate attention. ."
T. H. Petrie, of Castle & Cooke, who
has had the matter of the shippers.
wharf tax in hand made the follow
ing statement
1T seems to me that oil is a matter
which is entirely different from coal
or any other commodity which is pay
ing the tax. The oil which is brought
here is bought under contract from
California companies which operate
here under foreign corporation Ii
censea They would certainly refuse
to pay the tax. That would mean
that the plantations, which already
pay very large parts of the tax would
be directly taxed for oil they use. The
entire idea of the shippers wharf tax
is to gather money for the purposes
needed by an indirect tax In this
case it would be q direct tax on the
plantations, who are, with the excep-
tion of the Hawaiian Electric, Homo
lulu Gas and Rapid Transit compa-
nies, the only large consumers of oil

on the plantations, while the idea is

acted upon he did not know what would
happen.
Have you any more to say on this
matter?" Mr.. Lightfoot asked
Il may have something more to say
if you put the questions"
Are all the melting writings now be-
fore this court?"
1T would take me a year to tell
all that has been written o fthis char
acter," the witness answered.
An answer relating to Sheba's own
writings drawn out by a question was
objected to by Mr. Ballou with a mo-
tion to strike out,
Mr.. Lightfoot said he was Willing
TO strike the whole of the evidence on
that lines. He taunted Sheba with
trying to make a grand stand play.
Judge De Bolt granted the prosecu-
tons motion to strike out the refer
ence to the Hawaii Shinpo, saying:
1--WE are not trying Mr.. Sheba or the
Shinpo. We can only try one case at
a time"
