IAssociated Press Cablei
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan.
25. = Governor Hiram John
son last Saturday announced
that he would veto any amend
ments made by this Legislature
to the alien land ownership act
passed two years ago. The
labor interests of the state
have proposed amendments
killing the right Of aliens to
lease lond, thus taking further
drastic action against japanese
land holding in California.
Governor Johnson's an
nouncement of his intention to
veto any further anti Japanese
legislation probably will block
any attempted action. The ad-
ministration has full control Of
both houses of the legislature
and even if a land-ownership
bill should pass, he would have
no trouble in getting enough
votes to sustain a veto.

TAX RATE I0BE
HIGHER FOR 1915,
MCCARTHY FINDS
Oahu to Pay 1855 Per Cent
This Year as Against III
Per Cent in 1914

territorial Treasurer G. J. McCar-
thy has determined the tax rate 10.
the islands fer the present year, III
every instance finding that the rate 10
materially increased over that OF 1918.
The rate this year viii be: FIRST
division. Oahu. 1.265 per cent which
means d rate of $00.Ol265 en- the ooi- @
lar: second division, Maui, L44 per
cent: third division, Hawaii, l.SSzo
per cent; fourth division, Kauai, l.5oo
per cent.
The rate In 1914 was: First division,
Oahu. III per cent; second division,
Maui. 1.2g per cent; third division
Hawaii, 1.3S per cent; fourth DIVISION,
Kauai, 1.3S per cent.
The treasurer explains that the rea-
son for the increased rate is that Ii
every county the 1914 assessed yalua-
fions were considerably lower than
thew were in 1918. The rate for this
year must be figured on the basis OF
valuations last year. On Oahu, Tor
instance. the valuations in 1913 were
sS5.664.fs7. From that amount OF
property the taxes OF last year were
raised. But the valuations made last
year were reduced from the previous
years figure to $S4.235,274. thus leay-
ing for taxation rate purposes appar-
entity about sl,42S,0 less property
on which I olevy for territorial and
county income. To raise the same
amount of money, therefore, the rate
had to be made higher. The same is
true of each OF the other counties.
The manner in which the treasurer
arrived at the 1915 rate is given in
detail below:

the task of4fooitng one another dur
ing that part OF the ceremony known
as "the feast OF fools"
A small number Of antiquarians,
however. still cling to other ideas OF
its origin and these are repeated here
for what they are worth. Some be-
lieve that All Fools Day originated
with what was known as the Feast
of HUH celebrated IN India. This
occurred on March thtrty-first. when
the chief diversion Of the people was
to send their friends on foolish err
rands. such as sending them letters to
inset certain person at a certain
point and then hiding somewhere UNI
tlk they appeared and, having aalaugh
lat their expense.
Still Others contend that the day
began with the mistake of sending
the dove out Of the Ark before the
the month among the Hebrews. which
answers to our first of APRIL. and. to
perpetuate the memory Of this deliv-
erance it was thought proper that
whoever forgot so remarkable a cir
cumstance should be punished by be-
ing sent upon an errand similar to
that Intellectual message upon which
the bird was sent by the Patriarch.
