MAY DISPENSE WITH
LARGE sum YEARLY

One Of the most important measures,
from an administration standpoint, in
troduced into the house at the after
noon session was an act introduced by
A. F. Tayares of the third district, re-
pealing chapter 101 of the revised laws
with its various amendments, compris-
ing sections 1898 to 1920.
Tine measure was introduced by rea-
son Of general opinion finding com
mou distribution that the stamp duties
are obnoxious and unfair. Whether
this feeling survives the legislative
routine remains TO be seen, but it is
hardly probable that it will be viewed
with any equanImlty ON the psrt of the
administration.
Tavares states that he doesn' Il ex-
actly expect the measure to go through
as introduced, but thinks that it might
do SO in mqlifed form, reducing the
duties. The income from this source
of revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1910, was $5s, 1880 and for
the six months ending December 81,
last, was $15,266.50. The estimated
revenue from the bureau of convey
anees for the next biennial period is
$4,000 which is about sixty or seventy
per cent of the entire revenue derived
from stamp duties.
Need the Money.
eve need all the money we can
get, !" said Governor Frear, discussing
the matter after the bills introduction
in the house. eff that revenue is cut
out it will have to go on somewhere
else.
THE property and similar taxes are
county revenue, while the stamp duties
and their kind are territorial realiza-
tions. While the county revenue is a
fixed one, the stamp duties and other
territorial revenue, such as the inheri-
lance tax and income tax huctuates,
large at one time, small at the next.
The stamp duties should hardly be tax
en- away"
Exempt Prom Duty.
The second clause Of this bill pro-
vides that all deeds, documents and
instruments executed prior to the date
Of the taking eject OF. the act which
have not been recorded or stamped
shall be exempt from the duty.
This, probably, viii result ia falling

registrar Of eonveyances' office, as
those instruments now prepared for
registration win be held up to large

Few places have impressed Madame

standards. with scenery AZ superb, In
he own way, ns that found in Uthor
attractive countries, and above an with
a public appfeeiativo Of music.
The diva has been in raptures over
Honolulu and is extremely happy over
the fact that being a woman, she was
privileged to change her mind twice,
and because she did so twice, that is
the reason she isaat present. IN Homo
lulu. tai191auas Q. shohi,
When she cabled w. d. Adams OF Ho.
nOlulu, that shB would stop OFF here
and give a concert If he could arrange
one, she felt that she was about to
embark for an island in the middle Of
the ocean, where civilization was still
in somewhat primitive stage She
became i'll and was really glad to
change her mind and cable to Homo
lulu cancelling her engagement. She
Immediately made plans to return to
Europe via the Trans-Siberian railway;
but the following day she received a
cablegram from Mr.. Adams expressing
the regrets of the people of Honolulu
that she could not come as he had
arranged for two concerts. This start
ed madame to thinking, and, when she
WAS better, she suddenly announced
that she would go to Honolulu and
convince the people that she was really
thinking of them and would sing for
them after all. She found that the
Manehuria was to sail in a few hours,
and there was a hurrying around to
pack trunks.
The pianist was disgusted He would
not 90 to Honolulu, not he. He packed
and left for Europe. Madame and Sig
nor Gasparri caught the boat and ever
since their arrival here they have never
regretted that the second change of
mind had been made.
Madame Calve confesses that she be-
lieved in coming here she was to sing
before an audience, small in numbers
and provincial, but, capricious, she had
made up her mind that Honolulu should
not be disappointed whatever it might
be.
And Honolulu has not been disap-
pointed. Neither has the diva, for the
welcome accorded here ON her first
night touched her heart and she will
always keep warm spot there for the
Hawaiian Islands.
Honolulu will hear Calve again. She
states that on returning to Europe she
will make grand tour of America
and possibly Of South America, and
viii visit San Francisco and then Ho-
nolulu on her way out to Australia
again.
There is but one thing she regrets
and that is that she has not French
chef with her. Both the diva and Sig
i nor Gasparri have to be rather par
ticular about what they eat, and are
particular to be chary of greasy edi-
bles. AS Signor Gasparri expresses it,
greasy food turns their stomach and
takes the enthusiasm out of their voices
and with voices lacking enthusiasm
their audiences fail to respond. Ergo,
greasy foods have no place in their
menu.

This is the problem which The AdSeI
