INHERITANCE TAX
Law soon UP
CoNsTlTUT1oHALIIy OF
LAW WILL BE TRIED.
Answer 10 Briei Of Anucllants in
Mary Dame Hall Estate Filed
Today - Supreme Court Will
Soon Rule OH Important Point.

The Territory today filed It's pa
pers In answer to the brief of the
appellants In re the estate of Mary
Dame Hall, who appeared to the SUI
preme Court Of the Territory charg-
ing that Act 1872 of the Session Laws
OF 1905 Is unconstitutional. This
act IL better known as the Inherit
ance Act.
The point made challenges chicny
the constitu;ionality of the follow
ing passage: IAN property which
shall pass by will or by the intes-
tate laws of the Territory, or which
being in this Territory, shall so
pass from any person who may SO
die while not n resident of this Ter
ritory shall be and is subject to u
tax hereinafter provided"
The appellants claim that shares
of stock in domestic corporations
owned by non-residents at time of
death are not tangible property and
not amendsble to the laws. The
ptosVsu'ioh WV ~"
covers all and makes no distinction.
THE only reason" says the an
swer, advanced for argument that
the Inheritance Tax Is unconstitu.
tional Is that uniform taxation upon
all similarly situated is not provided
because the statute imposes n tax
of five per cent on the value of sue
cession of collateral heirs in excess
of $500. and n tax of two per cent
on the value of succession of lineal
heirs in excess of $1,000. II is
therefore urged that both the fifth
and fourth amendments of the Fed
eral Constitutional are violated.
THE Territory contends that
there is no lack of uniformity of tax
alton nor denial of equal protection
of the laws under the statute because
collateral kindred are taxed ut u
different rate and allowed differ
ent exemption from limited heirs so
long as the classification Is reason
able and all persons in the same
class are treated alike under the Ha-
waiian statute, the constitutional re-
quirements are satisfied"

According to the strikers statisti-
clan, there are remaining In Honolulu
about seven hundred and seventeen

opportunity to find something to do

According to reliable information, 10
is said that the strikers who have
been holding positions as plowmen
and other important jobs In the field
before the strike, were refused the
same kind of work by the managers.
This Is accounted for by the fact that
the Hawaiians and Portuguese strike
breakers have been given these posi-
lions and found to to be reliable and
efficient In their work.
1t is said that these men who are
claiming to have been driven out of
the plantations were frightened away
by the Portuguese when they returned

testimony supported the contention
of Sutton's mother and sister that
Sutton did not seek the fights with
Adams and the other officers. In
attacking his credibility, Major
Leonard, iudge-advocate. went into
Kennedy's record and showed he
had been disciplined on several oc-
casions in the service.

Kennedy said he had been reluct-
