Question an Old One.

E. Faxon Bishop said every Hawai-
ian Legislature faced situation where
there were more demands on the treas
ury than could be met. No other Leg
islature had proposed TO raise the tax
rate, however, other Legislatures max
ing what they had go. He said the
legislators now were laying down at
their work in not making available
funds do and acknowledging that they
couldn It work out a policy of working
on what they had.
From what cause had the condition
arisen, he asked, and inquired if the
committees had looked into the ques-
ton of where the money was going
and see if the county system was a
success or not If it could be shown
it was not, then the counties ought to
be cut down. What the statesmen
ought to do was to look around and
see where money can be saved and not
be looking for information as to where
more money can be raised.
Every member comes wanting some
thing for his constituency and asks
for it. That is his stock in trade. 1t
has always been that way. Gentle
men, those wants have to be scaled
down. As Mr. Gear has said, the poor
folks have all they can stand and we
have all we can stagger under ~
Mr.. Bishop was applauded when he
sat down.
Chairman Rice asked Mr. Bishop if
he favored bonding the Territory for
public works Mr.. Bishop said moth
ing should be borrowed, but there was
not revenue producing enough to meet
interest charges. It was good bust
ness to construct revenue producing
works.
"Reduce expenses, concluded Mr..
Bishop. 81 am told that there are
thousands of children sent to our pub
lie schools of six and seven years old,
sent there for nursery purposes. You
must cut your expenses. / know it
doesn t go in politics. That's why I
am not a success as politician. "
Get More for the Money.
Auditor Fisher said the situation
was not surprising. The people had
more now than ever before, schools
were bigger. roads were better, reform
schools. public institutions were bet
ter equipped and all called for more
money.

isIature he had beer member of had

Norman Watkins asked if the finance
committees were taking it for granted
that the counties would continue to pet
90 per cent. of the taxes. lie thought
the added functions of the Territory
now We're such that the counties were
getting more than their share. He
realized this was poor politics, has
thought it was good sense.

this should not come until the people
10 use them We're in sight.
The other bill to abolish the in.
come tax and raise the property tax
to II per cent. was wrong. Income
taxation was equitable and put the
burden on those best able to nav. while
tn oNerassessments now would be cut
down in view of the increased rate
The principle of the graduated income
tax appeared to him best if something
had to be done, although he believed
the Legislature should strive To bring
the expenditures within the income and
not have any increase in taxes at all.
Shingle read>a statement from the
Treasurer to show that under the new
assessment for 1909 the income tax re-
eeipts would be considerably larger
with the present rate and exemptions.
In 1905 the tax yielded Sa7S, 1874. while
IN 1909 under increased assessment,
there should be $353.a34. The prom
erty tax last year. per cent. on
1929 ,5S6.003, was 81, 295, 500. Of which
$3l,1l7 was delinquent This year it
should be Sl,342.1 ISL. a rate of 10
per cent. this year would yield s. .o6S.-
700.

Ubiquitous System.

L. Penney Peck stated that the
idea in the Senate was that there was
now a l per cent rate on real and per.
sonal property which should be i'm,
posed on all property on a full cash
value, but as there was difference in
the assessment on unit basis, or based
on a profit-bearing basis, in one in
stance the rate works out to about a
10 per cent, rate on income
The principle underlying the enter,
prise for profit tax is iniquitous and
anbearable, accepted only at a time
when the government had to have a
certain revenue and have it without
delay. Taxes should be imposed
equitably on all, said Mr.. Peek.

ment that Kleinman on the night of
the crime about GAO O'Clock saw Miss
Rosen going south on Jefferson street
in front Of Dutro's grocery and $50
feet behind her was seen the prisoner.
Kleinman stated he could positively
identify them both as the parties he
passed, and stated that both were
walking at about the same speed. Up
on cross-examination by Attorney HUN
ter the witness was made to acknowl-
edge that he had never seen the dead
girl or the accused negro before the
night of the crime, and that the only
assurance he had that the two persons
he saw were the dead girl and the ne
gro was the way they were dressed. At
torney Hunter brought out the fact
that many people dress alike, and on
the whole seemed to have the witness
at his wits end to qualify his pos
tive statement.
On redirect examination, however,
the prosecutor came to his rescue,
when he brought out the fact that the
Dutro store was lighted at the time
and that Junkin's face was made dis
cernible by the defendant havinNpuf-
fed on cigarette Just as Kleinman
passed him.
Kleinman's testimony was complet-

The fear that Junkin after selling
the stone would do harm to the pur-
chaser or would come back and force
the witness to give up the stone, caus-
ed Mr.. Redman to use little tact on
the night of the sale. He testified
that generally he kept his store open
until about o'clock, but upon the
night OF February 16 he feared the pos
sible return of the negro, and telling
his wife and family that he was sleepy

park maintenance is necessary, as
the expense of developing and car

WOULD CRIPPLE
CITY HEALTH
RULES
Spokane Health Authorities
Oppose Senate Bill
by Myers.

A state senate bill by Myers
calculated to cri0ple municipal
sanitary inspection relating tc
meats and food generally, is at
tracing considerable. attention in
Spokane. where a determined eff
fort is being made by the health
authorities to secure the adoption
of a system of inspection that will
guarantee the consumer food in all
respects fit to be eaten.
The bill names bakeries and all
sorts of food factories operated in
cities. but does not prohibit the
basement bakery evil. against
which an unsuccessful fight was
made in the Spokane council. 1t
makes provision for keeping such
places clean, but places all inspec-
ton with the state food commits
sioner or his deputies, who alone
are empowered to make inspec-
tons or complaints.
The Spokane idea is to have all
civic authorities empowered to
take up such matters before a
court, and also that private citi-
gems be permitted to file COM
plants where unsanitary condi-
tions are noted. The visits of the
state inspectors are too rare 70 be
considered in connection with eff
fective regulation.
The house bill introduced by
Buchanan of Spokane is regarded
as the measure that will accom-
plish the desired results. This
makes unclean carelessness with
food products unlawful and pre-
scribes it as the duty of every
authorized official to seize tainted
products offered for sale without
further ceremony, following this
action by filing complaints. Expe-
rience in sanitary food inspection
has proved this method to be the
only one that can be depended
upon to properly protect the
public.
