Court of Customs Appeals
Discussed by W. l. WempIe
at Meeting of Librarians

/ Every one pays taxes; and, with few
exceptions every one pays both direct
and indirect taxes" said William l.
Wemple. assistant attorney general of
the United States, in addressing the
American Association of Law Libraries.
at it's session this morning at the New
Ebbitt House, on The Functions and
jurisdiction of the Court of Customs
Appeals"
Continuing. he said that nearly every
one feels that his taxes are an impo-
sition, not only in the legal sense. but
in the colloquial also. Nevertheless"
he said, Il venture to remark that
there is greater ignorance of how
taxes are imposed and what remedies
are afforded against unlawful IMPOSE
tons, than of any other matter with
which men come into daily contact.
And fthis be true of ordinary direct
taxes is in much greater degree true
of customs. which are. except for the
importer. only remote and indirect
assessment
The speaker said the customs appeals
was originated in 1907 by the Payne
Aldrich law. He described the proceed
ings Of court matters, and in conclusion
he said the court has abundantly justi-
fed its creation and proved a great public
benefit.

LESSONS and by the very low percentage
of actual failures among library school
graduates LAS Guardianship increases in

WIN ANOTHER
BALL CONTEST

The Punahou Academy reserves
won their third game OF the second
team series yesterday afternoon on

The playing on both teams was ragged
and the game slow and uninterest-

The Academy players had a new

the box instead of Austin, the regu-
lar. Gay pitched steady game and
did well considering the fact that he
had never pitched in a scheduled
game before. In the seventh inning
Austin took his place.
Hee, the pitcher from Manoa, twiri-
ed d first class contest but was given
such poor support by the rest of the
infield that the Puns put over the
majority Of their runs on errors. Hee
was taxed for total of ten hits. r.

home on a nice hit by Austin. Hind
