MARCH FIRST IS LAST day
TO REPORT ON INCOME TAX
COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVE-
NUE. ISSUES NEW RULES
Of Material Importance to Taxpayers
of All CIasses-AlI Corporations
Must Submit Reports as Well
as All With $4,000 Income

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.-With the
time rapidly drawing to close for the
; submission of the second years re-
turns by corporations under the in
come tax levy, Collector of Internal
Revenue Carter announces, number
of recently promulgated regulations of
material Importance to taxpayers Of
all classes. Returns on income tax
are due on or before March 1.
The gist of these rulings follows:
Individuals desiring to file claims for
exemption with Withholding agents
must do so not later than March 1. The
law is mandatory on Withholding
agents, and if they have in their hands
sums due other persons of a taxable
amount, they must withhold the nor
NAL tax, and must withhold on the
total amount unless claim for exemp-
ton is filed within the time specified.
Unlike the law governing the pay
ment of city, county or state taxes, re-
turns mailed prior to the closing hour,
not received by the collector before
that time, will be considered delin-
quent. The mere mailing does not
constitute a filing.
All corporations, except those spe-
officially exempted by law, must submit
a report, whether there is an income
to report or not. Requirement is not
based on income, but is mandatory as
to a report. The exemptions specified
by law are as follows: Labor, agricul-
tural or horticultural organizations;
mutual savings. banks without capital
stock represented by shares; fraternal
beneficiary societies, orders Or assocl-
atoms operating under lodge system
or for exclusive benefit of the mem
bers of fraternity itself operating I'M
der lodge system, and providing for
the payment of life, sick, accident and
other benefits to members; domestic
building and loan associations; GENE
terry companies for mutual benefit to
members, and all similar institutions.
All individuals who have a. net in
come in excess of $4,000 must submit
a report, even if the person be married
and is entitled to $4,000 exemption.
The administrator or executor of a
person whose death occurred prior to
the calendar year must submit re-
turn for such decedent from January
| to the date of DEATH and if the re-
turn shows a taxable income, the tax
is collected as with living persons.
A person who marrieS during the
year must make return as married
person, as the status at the close of
the year determines the status for the
year-therefore husband or wife dying
within the year leaves the survivor as
a single person at the end of the year.

IN FIRST TWO WEEKS

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.-At the
end of the first two weeks of the new
year, $4,000 motor cars were registered
in California. The owners of these

tire year of 1914. The reason for the
receipts now being equal to those OF
1914, with 10000 more cars to be
heard from, is the new formula for
the rating of horsepower.
Southern California is leading the
northern part of the state by more

mento for the upper half Of the state
were 41,OOO cars tagged, while at the

WAR AMONG PLANETS
CAUSED ITALY QUAKE

LYNN, Mass, Jan. 19.-Prof. Elihu
Thompson of the General Electric
company, in an address here, explained

three planetary bodies we're pulling on
the earth through the force of gravity
in three different directions, causing it
to crack.
Prof. Thompson, besides having es-
tablished a reputation as an inventor,
has large private observatory on his
Swampscott estate, where he devotes

Device Bars Rail Wrecks

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-An old loco
motive on the Long Island railroad
was run at a speed of twenty-eight
miles an hour toward another locomo-
tive. The engineer had instructions
not to touch the throttle. He didn't,
but the locomotive stopped.
The hating of the locomotive was
the testing of a device invented by
Anthony j. Casala, formerly of Ma
pies, and former telegraph operator
in Italy.
The device, which is based on the
block signal system, sends a current
through the locomotive if a train is in
the block ahead and shuts off the
steam and applies the air brakes.

LONDON, Jan. 18.-As result Of a
protest from the National Council of
Trained Nurses that incompetent wo-
men are serving at the front and in
hospitals, Lord Kitchener, the war Sec
rotary, has called on the council for
detailed report.
The press some time ago directed
public attention to the fact that many
eager young women, either wealthy
or socially prominent, were clamoring
for positions as nurses.
While the motives of these young
women are to be commended, it has
been said that their meager training
has hardly been beneficial to the
wounded.

MEMORIAL SERVICE

a special service in memory of
the late Hon, Jacob Hardy was
held at the I.ihue Union church on
Sunday last. Rev. !. NJ. Lydgate
in charge By special invitation
the Hawaiian Congregation parti-
cipated in the service. Mr.. J. X.
Lota acting pastor representing
that congregation, in addition to
which they contributed most ac-
ceptably to the music.
The main address was made ty
Mr., Lydgate, who spoke in part
as follows:
Strong personality is a compli-
Gated matter. 1t is somewhat like
a cable, 1T is made up OF manv
strands that twine in and through
one-another so that it is difficult to
sort them ont and tell specifically
just where the strength lies, or to
vary the figure 1t is like a strong
face, where it is difficult to tell
which is the dominating feature
which gives the strength.
Accordingly the Interpretation
of the character and personality
of Judge Hardy which l give, bas-
ed on more or less intimate re-
lation of nearly 20 years, is vet
tentative and inadequate.
To nv mind the out standing
quality which dominat' all others,
is that of absolute Integrity. His
character suggests to me the quail
ties of the old colonial type of
architecture, simple, massive. solid,
durable There is another type of
character as we'll as architecture,
widely prevalent II these days
which tends TO the ornate, runs
to ginger bread work. A type that
is ornate at the expense of solidity.
By and bye the ornate wears off
leaving poverty and shabbiness be-
hind it. Some o f these ornate
houses are hard to live IN, COM
forts and conveniences are sacri-
feed to looks. So some ornate peo-
pie are hard to live with. Very
charming on first acquaintance,
but very tiresome on more intimate
knowledge.
And these qualities of character
bear all the significance that the
figure suggests. The absolutely
essential thing about a house is
the fl ame-work, the solid, simple,
substantance of the house. The

A HUNDRED MILLION
GALLON WATER system

For the past week, one hundred
million gallons of water have been
flowing daily through the excel
lent iriigating system now COM
pleted by the Lihue Plantation.
The formal opening was held
last week, when President Isen-
ber turned the clock which open
ed the system.
With Mr.. Isenberg were Mr..
Weber, MIR. Cropp and Mr.. Robert
son, all of whom are interested in
the completion of this latest irriga-
ton project.
Kauai now holds the record for
possessing one of the longest COM
pleted tunnels in the Territory,
which forms the main part of the
system. This tunnel extends five
thousand nine hundred and twenty
six feet through h dividing
range between Kilohana and Koloa.
The foresight of the Plantation has
never been more strik:ngly dis
PLAYED than in the selection of the
location of this tunnel. In little
over mile, the necessary slope
for the water has been obtained,
ten miles of the practically level
country having been cut off; which
long course would have had to be
used, had the tunnel not been con.
structed.
