TAX AMENDMENT
IN new CHARTER
gets APPROVAL
When Fresh Draft is Prepared
Measure Will Be Ready for
Third Reading

With but little discussion, and that
only in regard TO the taxation amend
ment and the duties of the superinten-
dent OF city works, the charter report
ed by the majority of the committee
of Is was last night passed on second
reading by the members of the Chart
er Convention, leaving only the work
Of printing a new edition, showing
changes and amendments and third
reading before the charter is ready for
presentation to the legislature for
adoption.
The charter must be approved as a
whole by the legislature before il can
be adopted as the governing code OF
the city. That there win be strong
effort to induce the legislature to re-
fuse to approve the present draft is
certain.
Last night 43 delegates were pres
ent, and they worked quickly. The,
report of the committee of three, on
which are Lorrin Andrews, w. C. Achi
and w. o. Smith, which recommended
one of the most radical changes In
the new charter, was accepted. The
amendment provides, that all taxes on
real, personal and mixed property
shall be assessed by the City and
County of Honolulu instead of being
assessed by the territorial govern
ment, as has been the rule hereto
fore. 1t places limit on property
taxes of 1.5 per cent, so that no high
er rate than $3.50 on 800 can be as
sessed.
School Funds Switched.
The amendment provides that
money received by the city for school
and other taxes, which is to be spent
by the territorial government, shall be
turned over to the treasurer of the
Territory, reversing the present proce-
dure, under which the territory col
lects and turns over to the city and
county money which is to be used by
the latter.
Lorrin Andrews. D. Kalauokalani, A.
D. Castro, Daniel Logan and w. G.

WINTER.

Winter is an effort on the part Of
the climate to show how far 1t can 60
without committing murder In some
localities 1t goes too Tar. and drives
people south in droves. with their VIM
ter fiannels on. Upon reaching the
south, however, these flannels are
taken off and replaced by the white
duck pants and curtaiie6 bathing suit,
after which the wearer writes cheer
ing letters back north telling how high
the thermometer jumped on certain
date. and expressing the pious hope
that his loved ones are still free from
chilblains.
Winter usually sets in early in &C.
tober. with frost which destroys any
thing that happened to be left after
the July draught 1t is an hour Of
great discouragement to a farmer to
rear eighty acres Of bright yellow corn
to manhood, and then have 1t bitten
in the jugular vein by frost which
the weather bureau did not see COM
ing. When this happens three or four
years in succession the farmer holds
a public auction, and engages in some
business which can not be frosted by
anything but sherfff's sale.
Winter can always be told from sum-
mer by the death rate in the coal bin.

punch punctures in a stout income

society can drive holes thru the choir
