CORPORATION
TAX PROBLEMS
Difficult Question Answered by
Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

Collector Walter F. Drake of the In
tenal Revenue department is constant
ly running up against difficult problems
since the work of collecting the returns
of the corporations as required by the
corporation tax law was placed upon
him. New questions come up about
every day, and where there Is any
doubt, they are promptly referred by
him to the department at Washington.
BY the last mail he received a letter
from Commissioner Cabell which is
self explanatory and which is of par.
ticular interest to the sugar planters
of Hawaii. The letter in part is as
follows:
"Your letter dated the 14th ultimo,
including one to you from one of the
sugar factors:
at appears that certain corporations
in your district are engaged in raising
sugar cane and manufacturing the same
into sugar which is sold in the markets,
thus producing the income received by
such corporations. 1t is stated that a
crop of cane takes from one to two
or more years to mature, and therefore
in making return in accordance with
the provisions of Section 3S, Act of
August 5, 1909, expenses incurred in
years prior to the one for which return
is made must be deducted from the
gross income.
cit is further suggested that it
would be preferable to make the return
of such corporations on Form 63S,
Miscellaneous Corporations, instead
of on Form 637.
"The products from which corpora
tions of this nature receive income are
sugars and certain by-products result
ing from the manufacture of sugar, and
not from growing aud selling sugar
cane; hence returns should be made
on Form 637.
"The raw material from which
sugars, ct cetera. are manufactured is
cane and the fact that the corporation
referred to owned the plantation and
grew the cane used at the mills does
not change the method of making the
return from that which would be EN-
ployed if the cane was purchased from
outside growers. The actual cost Of
the cane used should be deducted from
the selling price of the manufactured
products and the return made in ac
cordance with the suggestions in Treas
urv Decision 1888 -

ANTlSALOON LEAGUE MEMBERS
OPPOSE LOCAL PROHIBITION
viii Meet at Five This Afternoon to Frame
a Protest to be Cabled to
Washington.

bers of the antisaoon league and other
prohibitionists, although there are pos
sibly others who may prefer the terri
torial legislation TO federal These will
be given an opportunity to present
their views at the antisaloon league
meeting this afternoon, if they are
league members.
"Many of us feel very strongly on
this subject" said DIR. Scudder. "We
feel that if the Delegate S cabled in
formation is correct we want nothing
to do with the voting We want no
territorial law with the federal Off
cials selling their licenses and blind
pigs running free, without the power
of the authorities to stop them. We
want the federal authorities to enforce
the law, not TO have them abetting the
violators of the law, such as their col
lection of the federal tax amounts to.
Every oriental who has such tax re-
ceipt regards it as license and regards
the federal permission to sell as su-
perior to the territorial prohibition of
such selling.
"We want to take this matter up
without delay and, if the majority of
the antisaloon league so decides, will
cable to Washington at once, protest
ing against the passage of the joint
resolution in the form announced.

AntitubercuIosiS and Mosquito
Campaigns Both Actively
Started Yesterday.
DR.. SEXTON BACK FROM COAST
Thirteen Men for the Fight on
Insect Pests Added by
Mott-Smith.

Both the antituberculosis and mosquito
campaigns were begun in earnest yes.
tcrday by the board of health and from
now on war on the white plague and
the pestiferous insect will be waged un-
ceasingly until both are defeated and
driven out.
Doctor Sexton, who is to have charge
of the antituberculosis work of the
board as well as of all the other strict
ly medical work, arrived on the Man
churia and reported for duty yesterday.
He started in at once arranging his
plans and getting his forces lined up.
The mosquito campaign is to be in
charge of Doctor Pratt, with Clifford
Charlock, formerly secretary of the
board of health, as his assistant. They
will also have charge of all the fumiga-
ton, disinfection and general sanitary
! work of the board. Kirk b. Porter has
been appointed to succeed Mr.. Charlock
as secretary.
President Mott-Smith has added to
his forces eleven mosquito men and two
fumigators. Each of the sanitary in
spectors yesterday took out one or more
of the mosquito brigade to instruct them
in their duties and show them over the
ground. No active work in the spread
ing of oil will be done until Mr.. Mott
Smith is assured that the men are
thoroughly acquainted with their duties
and know just what to do and how
to do it. As he stated few days ago,
he doesn't want them spreading oil
about any mans back yard just for
the sake of getting rid of the oil.
Mr.. Mott.Smith remarked yesterday
to Governor Frear that he probably had
the most complete census of the popula.
ton of Honolulu that has ever been
taken. His records show the name, ma
tionality and address of every inhabi-
tant of Honolulu from Punahou district
to the Kamehameha Schools, together
with the sanitary conditions of the
man IS residence and other particulars
interesting to the board of health. r

MORE ARRESTS MADE
FOR HIGH SPEEDING
John Waterhouse and Richard
Cooke Caught Hitting the
High Spots.
(From Wednesday Advernser.j

Auto Officer Martin Scully has added
to his long list of arrests for speeding
by three this week and claims evidence
enough to add them to his list of con-
victons as well. The latest speeders
to fall afoul of Scully's stop watch are
John Waterhousc and Richard Cooke.
The former piloted ear No. 21l and the
latter car No. 24S on Beretania avenue
just below the twenty-fve.mile limit
where Scully caught them. Penal sum,
mons were served on them yesterday
morning and they viii answer today.
Besides the two autoists Scully and
his assistant caught John Choy Lo, a
Chnaman, riding motorcycle No. ABS
above the speed limit at the same place
and he was also arrested.
Scully's hard working in rounding up
the speeders has caused far less COM
plants to be entered in the sheriff S
office although it has by no means
stopped speeding. Kalakaua avenue re-
mains the paradise for speed maniacs
and that place continues TO be used as
a speed way on every occasion. Enter
tainments at the Moana or Seaside

CANDIDATE MOORE
GIVES REASONS WHY
He is Making the Race for the
Republican Nomination
for Congress.

The Honorable Archibald Moore in
announcing himself candidate for
Congress, sometime since said in part:
Il am candidate for Congress sub
ject to the Republican voters at the
primaries to be held in June in each
Of the counties of this district, and
earnestly solicit your vote and active
Interest. l make this announcement
after having gone carefully over the
situation, and after having been as
sured by great many Of the repre-
sentative citizens OF the district that
my candidacy was desired at this time.
have been servant Of the people
for many years. and have tried to be
a careful student of the problems Of
the people from every possible view
point. Questions Of public import
have always appealed to me, and /
have not allowed myself to be con-
fined solely to any one Of these qucs-
lions l have thought. worked. and
lived for the public, and my life is
largely the property OF the people.
The scene of my labors having
been in this district. am fully alive
to the fact that the great mining and
manufacturing interests should be
protected and conserved, and that the
workings OF the new tariff law should
be carefully observed. and. If need be,
amended in every particular that
might promote the development Of
our wonderful resources.
u believe in the integrity OF hon
est labor, l came out of the lolns OF
toll and know something Of the sting
Of poverty. and count it deep honor
that by my own hands and brain l
have earned living. feel that l
can without ostentation claim to be a
representative OF the farming classes.
My. official relation TO agriculture as
president of the Board of Agriculture
brings me into vital touch with this
wor...y class Of our citizenship. My
abiding conviction is. that when a
man has been able TO command every
faculty of his being. and has offered
them in unbIemished service at the
shrine of public interest, he is still a
feeble servant. My close relation to
the people for period OF nearly thir-
ty years, has led me into an acquaint.
ance with their every day problems Of
social, business. civic, state and ma
'tional character and consequently
