HALEY READY 10
BEGIN WORK ON
EMERGENCY TAX
Envelopes and Forms Prepared
BY Collector, Feeling Sure
Law Will Pass

Collector "Jim" Haley and his corps
OF assistants In the local office OF the
Internal Revenue Service are ready
for the collection of the emergency
tax, which passed the house of rep
resentatiyes yesterday by q vote OF
205 to 1S9, thus practically insuring
the extension of the tax until Decem-
Der 81, 1916, ct least.
with reports coming In to us
through the papers of favorable feel
ing in Washington in regard TO the
tax we were pretty sure that Congress-
would favor the extension of the law
for another year said Mr.. Haley to-
day, "and we made plans accordingly.
Envelopes, notices and blank forms
are all ready for the first of the
year"
It is estimated that at least 1000
Iersons in the territory are directly
liable to the tax, and of this number
at least IS per cent are Asiaties.
These men, in large number OF
cases, are ignorant concerning the de-
tails of the law, and much time has
to be spent In explaining these minor
points to them during the payment
periods.
The emergency, or war tax, as 1t is
more commonly called, has been IN
existence for IA mouths. For the
coming year it will probably be paid
Ia semi-annual instalments.
In January and June.
This is to make the payments cor.
respond as nearly as possible with
the regular time of paying other tax
es. which is in June. One payment Of
the emergency tax will be made at
the first of the year and another viii
be made in the middle of the year.
When first created the payment
was made for period Of eight
months from November to June. At
the end of this time another payment
was made, this time for six-months
period ending at the close of this year.
Officials at the revenue office say
that many merchants sent In their
money in the past for the entire year,
and that half Of this money had to
be refunded.
These men," says Haley, will
probably wonder why we needed to
refund the extra money they paid,
and then come back in few months
and ask them for q new payment
The explanation, of course, lies in the
fact the payments are made on the
half-year basis"
Various articles are covered by the
tax. There is proprietary provision
covering goods in retail stores; doc
umentary provision, covering stocks
and bonds, deeds. and so on; a wine
tax for wines and other liquors, and a
special tax upon bankers, brokers and
dealers in and manufacturers of ci.
gars.

Thirty-fif Annual Session
Comes to Abrupt End lust
Before j. O'clock today

Labor saving devices were discussed
by the planters this morning, George
F. Renton, chairman of the commit
tee on that subject, leading.
Several members gave their views.
the main question seeming to be
whether II was good policy to expend
much money In developing. labor-sav.
ing devices.
Mr.. Ewart said the way to obtain Ia
bor-saying devices was to develop the
ideas OF practical men, Very often
those having ideas had not means to-
develop them, therefore il would be
well II the association took up the
ideas for development.
President A. w. It. Bottomley, at
the end of the discussion, voiced the
apparent sentiment of the meeting as
being that the committee on labor
saving devices ought to be continued
for at least another year
Thurston On Forestry.
3 l.. A. Thurston, chairman, led the
discussion on the report Of the COM
mittee on forestry, opened with an
address in which he told of tree cul.
tural experiments by various persons
in the territory for the three main
purposes OF firewood, timber for vari.
Gus uses and water conservation.
Firewood at $13 and more cord
on some plantations, as Territorial
Forester C. s.. Judd has called atten.
ton to, was one of the things the
speaker cited to show the Importance
of the subject. Reference was also
made to the wood-testing the College
OF Hawaii is prepared to do. Mr..
Thurston concluded by presenting the
following resolution, which was sec
onded by John Hind:

ssBe It resolved. by the Hawaiian.
:Sagaf Planters AssUciati0n; IN fegu-
lar annual meeting assembled. that, in
the opinion Of this. association it is
extremely desirable that systematic
Investigation and experimentation
should be conducted and the results
tabulated and published for the pur-
pose OF definitely ascertaining the diff.
ferent species and varieties of trees
which are best adapted. in the sew
eral iSlands, districts and sections, for
different economic uses.
For. example, trees best adapted:
81. For the conservation of water
and the protection Of water sheds;
'2. For the prevention of sand and
dust drifting;
"3. For the production of firewood;
"A. For the production of timber.
fence posts, railroad ties, telephone
posts. etc.
And be 1t further resolved, and 1t
is hereby suggested, that this is an
eminently proper field Of investigation
for the territorial forestry department
and the College of Hawaii. acting in
conjunction with each other:
