Lively Meeting of Hawaiian
Pineapple Co. Discusses Pol
icy and Dividends
NO EXTRA MELONS TILL
FINANCIAL FUTURE SAFE
Such Is President DoIe's Atti-
tude, Backed by Heavy
Voting Strength

A vigorous move on the part OF
local stockholders of the Hawaiian
Pineapple Company to secure repre-
sentation On the directorate was a
feature of a lively and at times rather
warm annual meeting Of the company,
held yesterday afternoon at the Offices
of the company.
Discussion o; the directorate, the
possibility of an increase in capital
stock, of stock or cash dividends, of
a growing surplus and of other inan-
cial phases of the company's business,
made it an Interesting session and a
rapid fire of questions by several local
stockholders enlivened the proceed
ings, according to reports today,
Definite action on the enlarging Of
the directorate was not taken. but
President James d. Dole was author
lied by the passing of motion to
name a committee to Investigate the
feasibility and .desirability of increas-
ing the directors from five to seven.
On behalf OF the stockholders in Ha-
wall. II is claimed that approximately
16,500 shares are held in this territory
and 1850 on the mainland, but that
the local stockholders generally have
no representation, particularly the 'ht-
tie fellows" Several stockholders
said this morning that they believe
there should be at least one and prob
ably two directors representing the
smaller stockholders in the territory.
From the replies of President Dole
to questions yesterday, there doesn't
seem much chance Of an increase in
the company's cash dividends for the
present or even for stock dividend.
The point was raised that owing to
the company.s large surplus, and un-
divided profits, given as $552. .632.S4,
the dividend should be increased from
IL to / Y per cent, and that this
would mean only. an increase Of $21,-
900 in the amount paid in dividends,
leaving the company still putting away

TAXATION REFORr1 ENTHUSIASTS
MEET AND PLAN TO ORGANIZE
Prof. w. A. Bryan Heads Com.
mittee That Win Outline Sys-
TEN of Effectiveness

Following an enthusiastic meeting
at the residence Of Prof. W. A. Bryan,
1913 Punahou street, last night, dur
ing which taxation reform was dis
cussed and explained from numerous
angles, il was decided by the so per
sons present to appoint Prof Bryan
chairman Of q committee of five. to
be named by the chairman, to outline
n campaign to secure more equitable
taxation locally and to suggest appro-
pirate name for the organization. Fol-
lowing the appointment of this COM
mittee and the completion of its work.
Prof. Bryan viii call another meet
ing, probably to be held in the library
building, at which time permanent or
ganization will be effected.
While the meeting was originally
called for the purpose of organizing a
Single Tax League, ii was decided
that some other name would be more
appropriate, for the reason that the
theory OF Henry George can only be
reached through a long educational
campaign and the present desire is
for a quick system of equalization of
taxation
Prominent Single Takers and tax re-
formers read papers and outlined the
system by which they eventually hope
to secure economic freedom and ans
wered numerous questions thrust at
them by several present who were on
hand TO learn of the work Of tax re-
form throughout the United States.
Charles H. Merriam, registrar in the
bureau OF conveyances. who has made
a close study of taxation. read an in
structiye paper on The Somers Sys-
TEN of Land Valuation" explaining
that this system had its inception in
st. Paul and has been adopted by the
cities Of Cleveland, Ohio, and Houston
Texas. The latter city was taken by
Mr.. Merriam as an example of the
working Of the plan and he explained
thoroughly, but the aid of large charts,
the workings OF the system whereby
each piece Of property is scientifically
Yalued-the work Of valuation being
handled by the property-owners them
selves-and is taxed at its actual val
ration. He stated that the introduc-
ton Of the system caused a reduction
in the taxes of 5000 property owners

This plan ties no very large

But we have an abundance OF
capital, We are glad to use our
resources to bring this great bust
ness aid within easy reach Of all
who have use for typewriters.
Thousands tell us that they
bought their Oliver Typewriters
without noticing the outlay,
Here's the way the plan works:
You make small first payment
and get the machine at once.
Then save II Cents a Day and
pay monthly, exactly the same as
rent.
When you complete the pay
ments, the typewriter is yours
forever. And you pay only the
