NEARLY ALL CONE
Only Ten Per Cent of Taxes for
Three Months Bills.
State May Draw on New Taxes
in December Settlement.

Drafts were drawn on county treas
urers today for 1898, 996-virtuaIly
ten per cent of the total taxes for the
year-which will be used by the state
to pay its September bills. That will
leave about $345, 900 available for the
payment of the states bills during the
remainder of the year. Under these
conditions there is little doubt but
that the state must levy on the new
fall tax collections for the payment
of December accounts.
In round figures about three and
one-haIf million dollars was levied
last year for the payment of the states
bills during the present year. Some
of the money was drawn last Deem
Der when the state treasury account
was at low ebb and now there is little
chance that the state can escape max
ing a levy on the new taxes.
Every administration has for years
talked about making a levy sufficient
to meet the states shortages near the
close of the year. But when the time
came for making the tax levy, some
one always looked ahead to the next
campaign and no one dared to raise
the levy sufficient to meet the deficit.
AS a result the state has borrowed
from the new taxes to pay old bills.
Even in view of the fact that an in
crease in the state tax levy was or
dered this year, the same situation
faces the present administration. Some
of the money raised for next years
use will doubtless be required to pay
When the drafts were issued today,
about $6S0,O00 in state money was
available for the remainder of the wear
-four months.

DIR. p. p. WOmer Delivers First
Address at Washburn.
New College President Makes
Very Favorable Impression.

The necessity of the church and the
college working together was emPha-
sized Sunday afternoon by Dr. p P
Women, new president of Washburn
college in his first address to the stu
dent body President Wo,ner made a
distinctly favorable impression On the
large attendance that heard him
speak. The address was delivered as
the first of a series of vesper services
that will be held during the year.
The increasing need of Christian
colleges as the nation grows CONNER
cially was emphasized by DR. Womer,
who spoke on The Mission of a
Christian College"
College Is a Community.
"A college is = community that has
, for its supreme object the preparation
of the youth in the trucSt and broad
est sense for the larger environment
in which he is to live and serve the
new executive declared.
Dr. Womer told Of the work that
the Christian colleges of the middle
west are doing ard the gre at loss that
would result if it were possible to take
out of the life of this country their in
fluence He called attention to the
fact that twenty years ago 2,ooo grad
yates from ten of thess- colleges were
occupying as many pulpits in the mid
die west and that 10000 others from
these colleges were teaching in the
public schools of the same section.
Work Inscparablc.
In summing up Dr. Womer said:
In & word it may be said that both
education and religion stand for the
enrichment of the individual, the COM
munity. the nation and humanity. And
under God the church and the college
are instruments to meet these ends.
Accordingly. the church and the col
lege must work together and not at
cross purposes. Each must strength
en- and help the other"
President Womer will leave the
latter part of this week on state
wide campaign in the interests of
Washburns 100000 endowment
fund, and his address Sunday was the
last to the student body for some time.

LOSERS in TAX
APPEAL CASES

In decisions which have been handed
down by the supreme court. the HaWi
Mill and Plantation Company and the
Union Mill Company, both Of North
Kohala, Hawaii, are losers in their
appeals to the local tribunal from the
findings Of the West Hawaii tax appeal
court. When the Hawi Mill Company
returned $4,000 as being the aggre-
gate value Of its combined property,
Tax Assessor Ollie T. Shipman assess
ed IL at 81 zoo, 900. The company took
the matter to the tax appeal court OF
the third judicial circuit, and this
court fixed the value OF the property
at $500, 900. An appeal to the supreme
court from this finding was then taken
by the company, and the local trib-
anal sustained the tax appeal court.
The procedure In the case Of the
Union Mill Company was the same as
that taken by its neighbor. The COM
pany was the same az that taken by
its neighbor. The company returned
the aggregate value Of its combined
property at 100000 but the assessor
raised it to 100000, the raise being
sustained by the tax appeal court, and
also by the local supreme court
