CONG
OVER TAX ROLLS
viii Carefully Examine Returns
Before Attempting to Equalize
Values.

When the board Of equalization ad.
icurned yesterday afternoon, after It's
first days session, il had made gen
eral survey Of the corporation tax re-
turns for 1914 submitted by the Kauai
eorporations-the sugar estates mainly
land had but barely begun taking up
the Maui returns for like purpose.
Today will be taken up almost entirely
with the Maui returns, and Il Il likely
that tomorrow Hawaii returns will be
looked over, Oahu returns coming on
later.
No attempt was made yesterday az
equalizing the value of the returns which
the board took up This will be done
only after the board has studied gen
orally all the big corporation returns
for the year. The aggregate valuation
of the real and property tax assess.
ments last year was, In round figures.
$175, 100000, but the returns made by
the corporations, which composed the
greater portion Of the assessments, was
in the neighborhood Of twenty-five per
cent under this valuation. The returns
this year, it is calculated, are from
|
the assessments for last year.
The board Of equalization, which met
Yesterday morning at nine O'Clock Mt
the tax Office in the Judiciary building,
Is made up by Territorial Treasurer ID.
Il. Conkling and Tax Assessors Charles
IT. Wilder Of Oahu, Robert T. Forrest Of
Hawaii, Joseph II. Kunewa of Maui
ard J. X. Farley of Kauai. The meet.
ings are public and will be held daily,
probably lasting all week, beginning
every morning at nine clock Two
sessions are to be held each day until
the duties of the board have been
finally completed.
II was stated yesterday that while
this years returns, as made by the
corporations and big estates, would not
be allowed to remain at the figures
mentioned in them, there was certainly
considerable belief that a reduction
from the assessments made last year
would be allowed. The total, however,
may equal in taxes the amounts paid
last year, for the tax rates this year
have been raised on all the Islands
which constitute the four big tax diyi.
sions Of the Territory.
Nothing definite along this line will,
however, be known until the board has
completed its labors, which consist
solely Of equalizing the returns, task
of no mean magnitude in itself. The
board does not fix the assessments.
This portion of the work is attended
to by the divisional assessors, but since
these constitute the board and the other
member is the head Of the tax depart
mont of the Territory, II may be taken
for granted, it is said, that the recon.
mendations Of the board will be fol
lowed by the assessors when they re.
turn to their respective divisions

.KONA TOBACCO
BEING BOOSTED
Broker Has Placed Hawaii Prod
uct With One Hundred and
Twenty-Five Manufacturers.

h, Georg Rodiek stated to The Adver-
tiser yesterday that the broker who
has been selling the Kona Tobacco Com.
pany's crops has visited and shown sam.
pies to over two thousand cigarmakers
and has placed bale and ease lots with
one hundred and twenty-five manufac.
turers ,..r.. ...Eaa. ,.... ..H. 49,
Z Large manufacturers have expressed
themselves as being satisfied with the
quality of Hawaiian leaf, he stated, but
have declined to buy unless assured
that their stocks could be replenished.
The quantity offered, they stated, has
been entirely too small to make II worth
their while to introduce straight on
blended goods without knowing that
enough leaf could be obtained 10 main
tain the quality and style of the brands.
Small manufacturers have given the
leaf bad name, but have continued to
use it themselves, thus indicating that
they considered that the leaf had merit,
but that they wanted to get IL at very
low prices, he said.
The data thus far secured indicates
that the tobacco will have to be pro-
duced at low enough cost to enable
placing 1t at profit with small manu-
facturers. Then when the leaf is favor
ably and widely known the larger man.
ufacturers will have to have IL.
While the burning qualities of the
1910 crop, which is the largest one yet
marketed, were very poor, the 1908,
1911, 1912 and 1918 crops showed very
good burning quality. The 1918 crop
shows particularly fine qualities, and
those Interested in this enterprise an.
ticipate good returns from it.
While correct fertilization of the to.
bacco fields tends to insure good burn,
It does not always work out In prac
tise in accordance with the theory. The
major portion OF the 1909 Pennsylvania
crop, of a good many thousand eases,
remained unsold at the end of 1918.
The tobaccos grown in Havana province
in Cuba are VIGOROUSLY poor in burning
quality, but are in strong demand, be.
cause Of their fine flavor and aroma,
to blend with poorly favored tobaecos
Of good burn. Variation in this rather
essential characteristic is experienced
in the tobacco crops of all countries.
