If Enrico Caruso, the celebrated
Italian opera star, we're no better as
a singer than he seems to be as a man
he would not be able to earn more
than day laborer. Having in mind
his monkey house episode and "soul-
mate" business it would seem that he
might with advantage spend some
time in trying to get his character up
to the level of his voice. One trouble
with such men is that they insist that
they are not to be judged by the same
moral standard by which others are
measured. and there are people foolish
enough to agree with them.

AS the bill for the segregation of

COELHO'S BILL TABLED.

Taking up Coelho's bill TO increase
commended that it be laid on the table.
The same course was taken with Sc
nate bills relating to income tax rate,
relating to inheritance tax, amending
the County Act with reference to tax
alton and providing for a specific tax
of two cents a share on stock trans
ters.
Robinson and Coelho saved the bill
relating to exemption on personal and
property taxes for reading and con-
sideration.
Coelho moved it pass second reading.
Fairchild, referring to the Christmas
tree they had been loading for several
days, thought it was not expedient to
raise the exemption on property taxes
from $500 to $5UJ.
Coelho spoke of raising the income
taxation for persons able to pay such
a tax and refusing to grant this pro-
posed boon to the poor man.
Robinson said if this bill pass it
would not increase the revenue one
dollar. Decrease, you mean" quoth

THE TAX LAW.
Resuming consideration of the tax
bills in committee of the whole, Sen
ator Chillingworth in the chair section
IL providing for the separate assess
ment of each persons interest was, on
motion of Mccarthy after discussion,
deferred.
Section Is on exemptions was amend
ed to bring in various charitable insti-
tutions and hospitals. Robinson strug-
gled to have Malulani Hospital named
with the rest, but was overborne by
the sense of the Senate for the reason
that being government property the
Waikiki institution is not, never has
been nor ever will be, world without
end amen, subjected to taxation
On the proposed amendment of Sec
ton 1245, r. L., on how assessments
are made, Mccarthy said that a con-
! ference of some members at recess de-
cided that provision for a board OF
equalization should be made in this
section. He moved that the section be
deferred Carried.
Fairchild on the section of penalty
and interest, moved to strike out the
words providing a penalty Of ten per
cent and to change the annual rate OF
interest on delinquent taxes from ten
to eight per cent. Carried.
Assessor Wilder, in answer to a ques-
ton by Robinson, said the practice fol-
some years had been not to advertise
delinquent taxpayers for personal tax.
es alone. If one owed any property OF
specific or dog tax besides, the amount
was added to the personal tax and .ad
vertised.
When the reading had been conclud
ed, Robinson moved to insert a new
section repeating section 1886, r. l..
relating to the board of equalization.
Fairchild suggested that provision
should also be made for a board of ap
| peal. In fact he was having a section
therefor drafted by Attorney Robert

XX/HO PAYS For The ADVERTISING?
wv There are still a few non-adversng con-
Germs in this enlightened age that claim
they give better value than others because
they do not spend money in advertising. Itwould
be just sensible to say that they give better
value because their trade requires only one sales
man Does advertising add to the cost of selling
goods or reduce it? Let's see
A shoe store paying $40 per dayfor
rent, and selling ten pairs of Shoes
would have to charge you 81 per pair
for rent alone.
IT, by spending $40 per day add-
tional for advertising, the store
can sell 100 pairs of shoes instead of
10 pairs, then the rent and advertising
combined would cost only zoe instead
Of ST. per pair.
1t is volume of sales that reduces the cost Of
selling. And the quickest and easiest way to get
volume, when you have the right kind of goods, is
by advertising.
