PLANNING FOR MORE WATER

A committee of the Town Council
and others of the town are making
investi cations looking to providing
a more adequate supply of water Tor
the town. The present drouth' as
we'll as periodical drouths OF past
wears. has impressed the needs OF a
more abundant supply. This al
ditional supply can only be secured
bv the expenditure of a large out
Law. but the safety OF the town and
the needs of it's residents demand
that this be done.
Asis well known, the water plant
is the best revenue producer of the
town. The water receipts for the
past year amounted to IS, l2O.O8; the
expenditures of various sorts, 81,
724.37; showing a net profit OF So
1851.
The town could easily expenC
800. 600 for additional water. Tn
additional revenue would more thai
provide the interest and a prope
sinking fund.
When reports have been mad
from the committees, some dehnii
proposition will be before the peopI

Negro Presides Over Convention of
White Republicans

Special Dispatch to The Gazette
Richmond, Va, Sept. 24-The
spectacle Of negro presiding over
a body of white men at the Republi-
can convention in Newport News
this week was made the subject of |
sensational speech by Thomas Dixon |
this evening at the Academy of Mu
sic between the acts of The Sins of
the Father" 1t was listened to by
Governor Mann. who sat in a stage
box, and an immense audience, in
Guiding the leaders in Richmond
social circles, all of whom applauded
Mr.. Dixon s remarks.
After thanking his hearers for the
flattering reception that had been
rendered to his play, the noted
author launched into a vigorous
criticism of the Newport News con-
ventiOn. 1t was blot, he said, on
the fair name of Virginia. He could
not believe it possible that body of
Virginia white men would sink to
such a depth Of degradation. What
would become OF the South's most
honored traditions if such revolving
exhibitions were permitted to con
tinue. He was glad that those heroes
who had fought and died for white
supremacy we're not alive today t.
witness the disgrace that had fallel
on the pure name of the Old Domin
. ion. The newspapers had printe
'e the news under scare headlines, ar
nouncing to the worl1 that here i
IL Virginia convention of white me
10 had bowed their cringing necks b.

BROWN BUYS
THE OLD NAVY
The Warship KaimiIoa, Star of
Rotten Row, Changes Hands
Again.

The entire royal navy of the defunct
monarchy of Hawaii passed into the
ownership of one man yesterday after
noon, and he is a iunkman. Admiral -
/" klondike' {. II. Brown, was the pur-
chaser and the Associated Oil Compa-
ny, the seller, the "navy" being the
former Warship Kaimiloa, once the
pride of the Kalakaua dynasty, and now
a mere harbor hulk, stripped of all her
former glory. In her time the Kaimi-
loa was the only warship belonging to
an Independent nation between Occi-
dent and Orient. Brown, the iunkman,
has by his purchase raised himself
from the ranks of mere civilians to
commanding rank and may soon hoist
his flag as admiral over the hulk
The KaimjIoa was fitted out by Ka-
iakaua as a warship and sent to Sa-
moa, in the hope that Samoa would
enter into union with Hawaii with
kaIakaua as the supreme monarch over
all, but the mission Of the commits
sloncrs on the Kajmiloa failed and the
WarSbp was soon set aside as useless.

WANTS TO BRING
MANY EDITORS TO HAWAII

In the opinion of Secretary Wood of
the promotion committee, the people of
Honolulu could not invest $4,000 or
$4,000 to better advantage than by
bringing the national editorial associa-
ton to Honolulu, and he believes no
efforts should be spared to bring the
1911 convention here.
He believes that not only would the
hotel interests and those who obtain
revenue from the sale of curios, etc,
benefit from the convention, but also
the larger and vital interests of the
Territory would be advanced by such
an arrangement. 1t seems to him such
visit would be equally as important
as the visit Of congressman.

our conditions on the mainland,' he
writes, land no better way could be

CORPORATIONS PAY A
THIRD OF THE TAXES

WASHINGTON, June G-The report
of the commission of corporations, IS
sued today, shows that Of the total
State tax receipts New York derives
about thirty-two per cent from corpo
rations. For State purposes corporate
taxation is by special taxes Local
taxation of corporations is by a gen
eral property tax on both realty and
personally. Thus the separation of
State and local taxation is nearly com
plete.
The ''capitaI stock tax" is quite
complex and applies TO very large
number of corporations. 1t is based
on capital stock measured by assets
employed in the Stase, and the rate
varies according to dividends, solvency
and the market price Of the stock. In
legal theory it is a tax on franchise,
or on the privilege of doing business
within the State, and not a tax on
property.
Railroads are taxed on both capital
stock and on gross earnings. Surface
lines operated by motive power other
than steam are taxed on gross earnings
and on dividends in excess Of four per
cent.
Shares of stock are hot taxed nj the
hands of holders. Debts may be de
Quoted from the entire amount of per
sonal property instead Of from credits
alone. especial franchises' (for use
of highways by public service com
panies) are valued by a State board,
but are taxed locally for local use.
These special franchises are declared
by statute to be real estate (thus pre-
venting the deduction Of debts, bond
issues, etc, from the amount of the
asseSsment). This statute is also some
what unusual in principle, as it adds to
the valuation of the physical property
the value of certain intangible fran
chise rights. Foreign corporations are
practically subject to the same taxes as
domestic companies.
The total amount of taxes for State
purposes from all sources for the wear
ended September, 1909 was approx
mately &29, 100000. Of this a little less
than one-third was from corporations
The next largest single item of revenue
was from liquor licenses, which in FIVE
months produced over S5,000.000 The
major portion Of the remaining taxes
is from inheritances (about $1,000, 000)
and stock transfers (about $1,000, 000).
The capital stock tax produced about
s., 600 600.
