Sir: In written decision rendered
scme few days ago by one OF our cir
cult Judges in q case wherein hus-
band sues his wife for one-half Of her
property on the ground that he had
advanced one-half Of the purchase
price. the facts stated by the judge
are as follows. y
The piaintin Is an African, 45 years
of age; the defendant is Portuguese.
36 years Of age. The defendant had
been previously married and had three
children, boys: the plaintiff married
her about one week after he became
acquainted with her The evidence
fails to show that he had any money
or property whatever at the time he
was married, although he was 33 years
of age. The defendant is hard-work-
ing woman, who had in hand at the
time Of her marriage, according to
plaintiff. about $54. She also had
amounts due her from her former hus
band. possibly $3.50 and it may be
more. She had her household goods.
Still later she received from her faith
er $425. The evidence in this case
shows that she has remarkable ability
In the acquiring and taking care OF
property. Every movement made In
this direction by her seems to have
been opposed by the plaintiff. and in

We are face to faceswith the prob
lem Of being the CROSSROADS of the
Pacific in its true sense--that OF
furnishing ships with what they might
desire IN the line of commodities, that
they may continue on their voyage to
the Orient And what are we going
to do about II? Ships that call here
for coal, fuel oil, water and other sup
plies not only want but must have a
safe place to berth, and that is right
where we are up against 1t. At the
present time IL ocean-going vessels
will fill all the space available for
dockage in the harbor OF Honolulu.
and as there are from five to seven
occupying the berths along the water
front daily one can see where we are
going to fall down" when the present
war in Europe comes to an end and
the ships of the world commence to
come through the Panama canal on
their way to the Orient and stop at
Honolulu for their supplies.
E Since November II to date there
have been Is big liners arrived here
and transacted business with the port
and went on their way. These ships
all came through the Panama canal
and were in addition to the, regular
lines that make this harbor port of
call.
As to furnishing the ships with need
ed supplies after they have been
berthed the city has made some ad-
vance. Water can be furnished to
ships at nearly every wharf right
from the pipes or from the water
boat. Coal can be delivered to all
ships and fuel oil can be furnished
from eight of the waterfront wharyes.
It is the consensus of opinion of the
shipmasters that visit this port that
we are letting slip through our fingers
the greatest coup or business oppor-
tunity through inaction We know
that San Francisco is making a bid
for the very business that we should
have and will have If there is spark
of get-a-inove-on In the embers Of that
prosperity fire that at times flashes
up here and then subsidies
1t is no secret that Nanaimo, b. c.,
is making bid for the very business
that Honolulu thinks is as good as
secured. And Nanaimo is making
things hum in her endeavor to place
an attractive proposition before the
world in regard to having ships call
there for supplies. We may think of
Nanaimo as away off up in the north
some place, and would have no chance
against what we have to offer. Con-
suit the distances on the chart and
be appraised of the fact that Nanaimo
is only matter of 200 miles further
on the voyage from Panama to Yoko-
hama than from Panama to Yokohama
via Honolulu.
Hawaii Is the logical point; the
real crossroads. Shipmasters have

garding the different points on the
Pacific where ships may replenish
their needed supplies in coal. fuel oil.

ception, favor Hawaii on account Of
its geographical position which guar

the year, while along the parallels Of
latitude that embrace Nanaimo are to
be found bad weather. fogs, head winds
and other atmospheric conditions that
sea captains class as nasty" and
this at all seasons of the year.
Honolulu has but to get busy to get
"a lead pipe clinch" on the immense
amount OF business that will offer.
What is the first requisite of Honolu-
lu to place herself in position to
make a bid for ocean business, and
in the event Of capturing it. make
good? More wharf space is the ans
wer. There Is no new idea being ad-
yanced when It is suggested that Ka-
lihf bay might be employed In the
scheme of enlarging the harbor aera
to increase the docking facilities.
While the dredging, clearing and
wharfing of Kalihi bay may seem to
be beyond US in connection with our
financial status at the present time,
we cannot shut our eyes to the fact
that we have "lots of room for i'm
provement" with the area now acquir-

Panama canal opened to traffic there
have been many times when ships de-
string to transact business with the
port of Honolulu could not do so for
the want of docking facilities and
must wait for days or sail away to
another port.
What are we waiting for? The area
that would compose Piers No. and
No. 8, between Alakea wharf and
Fort street. has been dredged clear

fications made for the new piers that

nolulu needs wharfing facilities a
blamed sight more than she needs a
new road up to Tantalus. Inquiry has
brought the fact to light that with
berthing facilities a ship can call at
Honolulu, be placed in a berth, given
her demands in coal. fuel oil or water
and any other supplies that she may
want and sent on her way in the
space of few hours.
Honolulu has not seen an atom of

blown to bits. The plan worked
almost. The dog broke away and
like faithful animal, took after his
master, tin can, dynamite and all.
Verbos, panic stricken, rushed home,
the dog following. Just as Berbos
reached his door the dog caught up,
the dynamite struck the steps and
went off, wrecking the porch. The

TAXES $50 PER CAPITA.
Total Levy in State For All Purposes
Amounts to Over 81, 900, 900.

Des Moines, June ACCORDING to
a table prepared in the Office Of the
state auditor and now being printed
for general circulation in the state
there is graphic showing Of the
progress in matters Of taxation and
assessment in the state Of Iowa.
From this table it will be seen that
the taxes levied for 1914 for all pur-
poses of every kind-state, county,
schools, roads-was $47,072,369.
That is nearly $40 per capita.
The steady increase is also shown
as follows: For 1905 it was $26,O61,-
977; for 1906 it was S26,333,16
for 1908 it was S29,24S,378; for

1910 it was $4,000, O45; for 1912 ii
was s36,796, s44; for 1913 it was
$4o,744,S60.
Now as to the strictly state tax,
levied for state purposes only. While
in 1914 it was $2,7O6,3S9, it was in
1905 $1,992,932 and in 1910 it was
$2,287,633.
Slight Increase in State Taxes.
From this it will seem that while
the state tax levy was moving up in
nine years by an increase Of about
100000 the other taxes were NOV
ing up total of about $21 900, 900.
While the state tax was being boost
ed in five years by nearly 100000
the other taxes were being boosted
by over $15,0OO,OO0.
If to the regular state tax for
state purposes be added those other
taxes, the lcvies for which are fixed

by law, mainly for educational pur-
poses and for charitable purposes,
still the increase in nine years was
less than two and a half millions
while all taxes together were being
increased over S21,O0O,00O.
The tax levies that are controlled
by the legislature aggregate about 8
per cent of the entire taxes collected
in the state, leaving local taxing
boards to determine on the amount
to be collected on 81 per cent of all
taxes.
The table when published will
prove of great interest in every coun-
ty of the state for comparison. 1t
will show the exact amount levied for
each purpose in each county of the
state for 1914, and county officials
will be able to find out how they COM
pare with other counties.
