STRAIGHT TALK

The success of the meeting called
by the House Finance Committee to
discuss the problem of taxation was
in n large measure due to the good
sized turnout of business leaders.
The straightforward comment of
these men and the speakers generally
was of the greatest value because
sentiments were uttered before the
committee which are all too Ofen con.
fined to the back-Ofiice or the street.
corner.
The average businessman doesn't
go to legislative committee meeting
unless he is driven. lie contents
himself with giving his opinions on
the method of government to the ex-
elusive hearing OF few friends who
think as he does. Then they all COM
bine in "cusslng the government
along their special line OF thought OF
prejudice.
This ought not to be. This is what
gives rise to cliques and bad govern
ment.
Business men should "out viii
It," They should speak straight from
the shoulder and the example SHOULD
be followed by every citizen.
Thus will there grow up bette
understanding. Thus will many diff
flcult situations be bridged over b!

THE TAXATION PROBLEM.

II experience has proved that the
share of the income than the work
done by them justifles, the obvious
business policy is to turn over u lar
ger share Of governmental response
bilities 10 the local governments.
Perfect the system. Develop the
government to meet the conditions.
Don't unite in damning everything,
one side the Counties and the other
the Territory, and. while agreeing
that the Government Is rotten" de-
eide that the only cure Is to increase
the tax rate to meet the expenses of
public service!
Though this system Is not eXcep-
tiOnal, Hawaii should not adopt 1t.
All government Is rotten" in the
sense of being troublesome, since his
tory was written. They no doubt
had their troubles OF government in
the stone age.
Viewing It from that standpoint
ubtSu utlp SOlNt lut plDbithlS' IL
merely reminds us that there Is moth
| ing new under the sun.
| And the experience of the ages as
well as the immediate present proves
that perfection of the system, honest
facing of issues, and readjustment
to meet changing progressive and
y heral conditions, is the best method
reaching an acceptable solution.
The immediate duty of the Legis
AZURE is to keep within the income
consolidate Territorial departments
where possible, and pass added re
Sponsibilities to the counties an'
city.
Having gone that far, which viii
give It enough to do for the siXt
days 1t Is now in session, the Legis
lature should again provide for
taxation commission. This secont
commission should have real author
ity to go into complete study o
conditions, and after this commission
has thoroughly investigated the sub
iect, report a scheme of taxation re
vision that will more nearly fit tn
Hawaii of today than the PATCHWORK
we now enjoy.

INCOME BEARING INVESTMENTS

The gentlemen VINO do not include
public school houses In the list OF
public works that are In
come-bearing and entitled to expend-
itures under the loan fund take a de-
cidedly materlalistic view. ...
If public school buildings may not
properly be classed as an income
bearing asset Of government, why is
1t the public schools have taken such
hold upon the American people and
are today regarded as the safeguard
of the Nation?
What the average businessmen
mean by demonstrating public works
we all understand. They want to
see actual dollars and cents, interest,
coin, on the capital invested, coming
into the Treasury.
Is not good citizenship, intelligent
men and women for this Territory
the best possible interest on the
money invested in substantial
school house?
Do the business men of Honolulu
believe, for instance. that the future
generations of Hawaii will citicisC
and condemn legislators for the mon
ey invested in the Mckinley Higl
School, the Normal School, the HilC
High School, erected from LOAF
funds?
Think 1t over, gentlemen. Remem
Der that we must build for good citi
zenship as well as dollars, in al
American Territory.

ney Hepner has moved and the district
court has granted the dismissal of the
case of the state against Peter Bins
felt, whose arrest ten days ago on the
charge of obtaining goods under false

it having been alleged that by means
OF announcing himself heir to a large
estate, he had duped various mer-
chants of the city. Binsfelt still clings
to his story of being possessed of an
equity which in the immediate future
means a windfall of at least $50, 1000.
and says that he will remain in Hell

declares he has been a resident Of

Roy Mitchell, j. w. Jackson, J. II.

ter was fixed at 1000 which each fur.
nished. The verdict of the coroner's
jury does not entirely %exonerate Tar
bell and the members OF his party, nor
does it absolve them from blame, and
all are held on an assault charge. The
evidence disclosed the fact that Wood.
ley and Jackson first engaged in a
shooting match, the latter's arm being
grazed and his horse shot from under
him. Mitchell, the victim, got Jack
sons gun and started in a semi-circle
around Tarbell, but the latter shot
first, the ball going through Mitchell's
body, death ensuing Immediately.
