RICE MILLERS
START RATE WAR

The rice mills of this city, which
number about seven or eight, have
started cutting prices in the milling
of rice. Day by day the price of
cleaning rice has dropped, and today
as a welcome TO the new rice mills
that have lately started up, H. e.
Walker proprietor of the Japan Rice
Mill, is milling rice free of charge.
How long this condition of affairs
will last is hard to say. In an
swer to the question, Mr.. Wake
said Il am quite satisfied to mill
rice free of charge, and l don't expect
any charge to be made this year at
least, what is my loss is somebody
else's gain; so I'm satisfied"

I mended by the tax commission and
by the judiciary committee, was read
second time.
President Smith came down to the
floor to question the advisability OF
what he deemed 4 radical change
from the present law. While the tax
commission made the lien on real pro-
perty for three years the House had
made it five years. The bill went
even further and placed a tax lien
on personal property. He was oppos-
ed to the bill. While making taxes
a lien on property was one way of col
Letting taxes, to make income tax
es a lien on property as this bill did
was going too far If it was pro-
perty taxes alone, a purchaser of pro-
perty would only need to inquire
about the taxes in the county where
the property was situated, but to make
delinquent income taxes a lien on pro.
perty wherever it was found through,
out the islands was liable to cause
great hardship. He moved that the
bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mccarthy saw the force OF the OBJ
lection but did not think the whole
bill should be indefinitely postponed.
| Knudsen did not see why the incom,
taxes should not be a lien on the pro
lperty of the delinquent taxpayer TIL,

HIS EPITAPH.

Secretary Cortelyou was celebrating
his recent epigram. Politics are a
duty" Win a smile he said:
Il don't mean by politics spoil hunt
ing and Office seeking. Politics is a
good and honorable word. 1t is a
shame to have degraded it. We should
try to uplift it again to its right place. ."
He paused. then went on:
I'VE don't want the word politics to
evoke the pictures of such a man as
Hilary Hardness.
Hillary Hardness was a politician
Of the lowest type, and unsuccessful
at that. His whole life was devoted
to Office seeking; he spent thirty
years vainly seeking a $4,000 office
hours 10 till 2-while his wife and
daughter supported him by keeping a
candy shop
well, Hilary died at last. A mo.
dest shaft was put above his remains
and the executor asked the editor tC
suggest an epitaph to go upon tn,
shaft.
The editor thought a moment Thel
he smiled, and slipping a sheet Of pa

five-year period was none too long, as
it was a protection against forced sale
in a dull time within that period. He
did not see why everyone should not
be compelled to pay his taxes.
Smith thought the provision of the
present law, of lien on property,
was protection enough to the revenue.
The bill was deferred until tomor-
row.
The House notified the Senate it
had failed to concur in Senate amend
ments to the bill relating to insanity
