VERY FEW
TAX APPEALS
OAHU AND KAUAI TO GIVE THE
COURTS NO WORK-HAWATI MAY
HAVE ONE CASE.

For the first time in the history oc
taken from the decisions of Tax AS
SCISSOR Wilder. This fact has caused
good deal of rejoicing in the Attorney
Generals department, as in former
years considerable time has been taken
mp with these cases, many of which
have been carried through to the high
or court in prolonged conflicts. APP
peals were noted by several parties in
this tax division, as a measure for the
protection of their rights, but in all
cases the Tax Assessor and the parties
concerned were able to reach an amic-
able settlement.
Kauai is also free from all trouble in
the courts over tax appeals, which is
a new state of affairs in the Garden
Island. Attorney -GGneralr rTreasurer
Hemenway also states that he under
stands that there are no tax appeals
on Maui but to make sure of this he
has written to Tax Assessor Kunewa
for a definite statement on the sub
ect.
On Hawaii the situation is not quite
as good, but still very much better than
it has ever been in the past. In one
case, that of the Norris Ranch, there
| is sure to be a contest, for the dis
pute is over the value of the property
and neither side cares to give in. There
/ is no question of law involved. There
are two other cases, both of which in
volve rather a mixture of questions oi
law and facts. One of these is that
of the Hawaii railroad, at Kohala, and
the other that fthe Hilo Merchantile
Company. Attorney General-Treasurel
Hemenway states that he rather doubts
if these two cases will come before the
tax appeal court after a full under
standing has been reached on the sub
ject by both sides.

back to work ON the plantations.
There are mutterings in plenty, to
the effect that Maxine had better be-
ware of promising too much of what
he cannot fulfill.
There are among the strikers many
who will be satisfied with nothing but
to return to work on the plantations
at higher wages; there are others who
will take the substitute of an oppor-
tunity to get out of the country II
employment is offered in South Ame-
rica or elsewhere; and there are still
others who are not particular whether
or not they return TO work, being sat
isfied with the long holiday they are
enjoying, with nothing to do but eat
and sleep, smoke and talk, and take
in the sights of the city, Honolulu
being a curiosity to a great number
who came here from Japan to go di
rect to the cane fields and who have
since seen nothing more exciting than
a sugar mill in operation and have
never viewed the wonders of the Rap
id Transit power house or loafed along
the waterfront to watch the shipping
COLLECTIONS NOT CERTAIN.
So far the strike committee has been
able, through persuasion ana threats,
to gather considerable money getting
house-b6ys, hotel employees and other
Japanese workers in town TO dig up
considerably out of proportion to their
pay. But this cannot last long and
the police, too, are beginning to take
notice of certain possible cases of un-
due influence in the matter of getting
funds.
At a comparatively small cost the
strikers in this city. in the camps at
Palama, Moiliili and Kakaako, are be-
ing fed with rice, tea and a little meat
and vegetables, a la Japanese, but even
this arrangement has its disadvan-
tages
COOKS WANTS TO BE FAID.
Those of the strikers who are de-
tailed as cooks and walters, in the city
camps of the strikers, are restless for
financial reward. If they cook and
wait ON strikers that have no further
exertion to make than to chew, they
think they should be paid. Relieving
the kitchen watch, taking turns at
cooking and waiting, is successful to
some extent, but the capable cooks are
not numerous and the turns come
around rather frequently, with the re-
suit that these chefs are demanding
remuneration for their services. TO
pay them means to reduce the funds
for food and the problem is not well
come.

TERRITORY
WINS OUT
JUDGE ROBINSON HANDS DOWN
DECISION IN IMPORTANT IN
HERITANCE TAX CASE.

The Territory won an important vic
tory this morning when the decision
of Judge Robinson in the matter of the
estate of Mary Dame Hall was handed
down. The. decision was i'm regard to
the payment of an inheritance tax, and
while the present case involves mat
ter of from So 500 to $4,000 this is only
part of the money which the Territory
will receive if the decision is upheld by
the higher courts
In the Hall case the question involv-
ed was whether stocks transferred by
will to a nonresident should pay the
local inheritance tax, the stocks men
toned being of a corporation organiz-
ed in this Territory. The matter came
up under the filing of the final accounts
Of the ancilary administrator, with the
will attached The attorneys for the
estate held that the deceased, being a
nonresident the shares of stock were
not property within the Territory"
and therefore there should be no tax
assessed against the transfer of the
property mentioned.
The Territory, on the other hand
held that since the stocks were in a
Hawaiian corporation they were sub
ject to the inheritance tax regardless
of the residence of the deceased. Judge
Robinson based his decision mainly on
a New Jersey case, which was very
similar in character, the laws of that
state being also very much like those
in force here.

Sheriff Jarrett this afternoon re-
turned from Kahuku plantation where
he went to maintain order while the
fifty discharged men were being paid
off. These men have not left the plan
tation premises, though ordered to do
so as soon as they had received their
money. They are expected to get off
tomorrow. AS for the rest of the men,
the strikers who have not been dis
charged from the plantations employ,
numbering about 400, they will be paid
tomorrow, which is their regular pay
day, and whether they are ordered Off
the premises or Will return to work
is still uncertain.
Word from Waialua and Eva this
afternoon is to the effect that there
is still no sign of the men returning
to work. At Kahuku there are signs
of weakening.

The latest development in the strike
situation, if it may be called a devel-
opment, is the report that the plan
tation interests claim the strikers are
weakening and may soon return to
work on this island, and the talk of
the strikers themselves, or their lead
ers, that they will never give in; that
if the men on Oahu go back to work
they will strike the plantations of Ha-
waii and so keep up the fight indefin-
itely.
At Kahuku, where trouble has been
feared, an effort is being made to get
the strikers back to work and to keep
the leaders of the strike away from
the plantation.
This is the chief anti-strike work
now in progress, missionary work
among the strikers in an effort to
show them that the men who have
induced them to strike are not their
friends and are injuring the prospects
of the Japanese laboring class in Ha-
waii.
MAKING MUST BEWARE.
Fred Maxine, acknowledged leader
of the strike, declares this morning
that the planters may content them
selves with the idea that they will
win out, but that they have failed to
realize the full significance of the
scheme of the strikers and that they
will fully appreciate the plans of the
strikers within a short time when the
final move is made by the strikers and
the planters are then forced to give
in. Maxine, however, will not say
what this bound-to-be successful
scheme of his is, if he knows.
Inasmuch as Maxine is being i'm
portuned by representatives of the
strikers who want to know when it is
that he is going to force the planters
to surrender, Mallino's latest talk is
probably sample of what he is Civ
ing the strikers, to gain time, and
take the long chance of the planters
offering concessions to get the men

BIG SUIT At CHEYENNE
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
Hon. a. !. Boutwell, Wants Damages
For Loss of Handsome Ranch
Property.

CHEYENNE. Wyo, Nov. 23.-The
most important civil case that has
come IN for trial ia the United states
court here for some time. is interesting
all sections OF Wyoming today, having
begun IN Judge Riner's court this
morning. Il is that of Hon. A. J.
Boutwell,, a cattleman. against ne
fSderal government. for damages ag-
gregating nearly a quarter of a mil
lion dollars.
Mr.. Boutwell, is owner OF one Of the
finest, or rather what was one Of the
largest and best cattle ranches and IT.
rigatcd farms in the state, located in
the valley of the Sweetwater river, in
central Wyoming but which was in
undated by the reservoir created by
the great Pathfinder dam constructed
recently by the federal government,
and which dam is the second largest in
the world.
The board Of appraisers spent weeks
investigating the ranch and in look
ing up titles. land values, etc, and
awarded Mr.. Boutwell, the sum OF $780,
900 damages, which sum the govern
ment refused to pay, and the present
suit is to compel Uncle Sam TO reim-
burse Mr.. Boutwell,
The property was not only one of
the finest of its kind IN the west. but
il was the home OF Mr.. Boutwell,,
where he had spent over a quarter of
century, and where he had endured the
trials and tribulations and hardships
of frontier life. being far from rail-
way communication, and aside from
this monetary loss, ha was left with
out a home, and he was compelled to
witness the approaching waters of the
government reservoir inch by inch
cover up his irrigated fields, fruit or
chard. and finally his barns, corrals
and at last his house. in which he had
spent many happy DAYS. All he asks
from the government is reimburse
ment at market values for land and
other property.
The case is important because Il is I'm
this nature OF a test, for IL Mr.. Both
well wins or loses there are many 9TH
ers who will be affected and whose
property has also been submerged by
the government irrigation project
