Valley Grange.
At the opening of the afternoon
session the program was continued
musical duets by Ethel Nichols and
F. A. Dinsmore, reeitations by Ernest
Hilton and F. A. Dinsmore. Then
came the question for discussion Re
solved that inasmuch as a large part
of National and State appropriations
for agriculture are being expended to
expenditures are to the actual detri-
ment of the farmer.p Speakers who
took a part were H. B. Ellis, A. s.

E. Merry, S. F. Emerson, Kate B.
Ellis, F. A. Dinsmore, A. w Reed, j.
S. Blackwell, Mrs. H. B. Whipple. 1t
proved one of the Pomona's most in
teresting discussions. Thoughts
were expressed on the part of some
advocating more scientific inyestiga-
| tions. demonstrations and expert
ments, calling for larger appropria-
tons. while others made protest be-
lieving that we do not receive a cor
responding benefit for the amount
expended and the result therefore
detrimental TO the farmer Supply
and demand govern prices and large
farm crops do not promote prosperity.
II the supply Is above the demand.
prices go down and the farmer loses.
A piano duet by Carrie Adams and
Ethel Nichols closed the exercises.

A Courageous Struggle Meets
interruption

The destruction of the Savage pa
per plant by the fire of last Tuesday
morning is matter of universal re-
greet. Mr. E. l.. Savage. whom Show
hogan people have known as the NOV
ing spirit in the enterprise, has made
wonderful showing. Any man
with plenty of capital can cut quite a
swath in the business world. Mr..
Savage tackled a business which is
supposed to require hundreds OF
thousands of dollars for its success
full operation. His capital was chief
ly intimate knowledge of the business
and keenness for adapting means to
ends that is rarely possessed by any
man. With this knowledge, few
thousand dollars, and such sympathy
and encouragement as could be given
him by his brothers. who are also eX-
pert paper men, he started in to re-
habilitate the old Lyon paper plant
He could not buy the machines he
wanted but was always able to get
something that would do the job he
had at hand Machines that other
manufacturers had failed to make
work found a usefulness under his
quickening ingenuity. When the fire
came he was producing paper TO the
value of $500 per day and had orders
on his books for four months to come.
Mr. Savage meets an actual proper
ty loss, above insurance, of many
thousand dollars. His loss by inter-
ruption in business is even greater.
The Town of Skowhegan, unless the
works can be replaced is the chief
loser. He is a genius in his line.
We do not know what he may require
as to capital to help get into the game
again. but, if he needs backing 1t
should be forthcoming.

The many friends of Rev. Frank
Kingdom of Harmony, will be sorry to

work He will remain in town it is
hoped, and all wish for him a speedy
recovery of his usual health.

ORDINANCE Will
MAKE PROMOTERS
FIX UP STREETS
New Measure Goes Through
First Reading Without 0p-
position BY Supervisors

II an ordinance introduced by Super,
visor Arnold at last nights meeting
of the board passes its third reading,
as It did its first, there will be less
trouble over the laying of new roads
for future boards than there has been
for those in the past, in the opinion
of some of the members of the board.
The ordinance provides that any per-
son or firm laying out new subdi-
vision Of, or addition to, the city OF
Honolulu shall file with the mayor
and board Of supervisors a plat show
ing the proposed location Of sidewalks,
streets and curbings, with specifica-
tons Of material and methods of con-
stTuction to be used.
The board is TO have the right TO
modify the plans in such ways as 1t
may see fit. After approval of its
plans the real estate company must
carry them out exactly and erect mon.
uments to perpetuate boundry lines.
Stiff Fine 70 Penalty.
The penalty for a violation of the
terms Of the proposed ordinance is a
fine Of $25 to $500.
In the opinion of Mr.. Arnold and
several of his colleagues this is the
only way to assure future lot buyers
freedom from onerous Improvement
taxes "A property owner who has a
little shack way out in the country,
approached me the other day and de-
manded that get road put through
his district" declared Supervisor
Logan, in discussing the BILL
I'm paying taxes and what do
get for them he asked me-" continued
the supervisor Il told him that he
and all the rest Of the property own.
ers in the district did not pay enough
taxes in 20 years to pay for road.
Small property owners will not pay
big improvement tax after buying the
property, but they will pay it in the
first cost of the property This bill
provides for that" - II

A request from a representative of
the property owners of Pupukea that
the roads in that district be repaired
was referred to Andrew Adams, dis

an appropriation of about 800 a

SUPREME COURT
finds FRONTAGE
TAX EQUITABLE
Not Confiscatory, Says Highest
U. S. Tribunal, in Decision
Bearing on Local Case

Two recent decisions found in the
United States Supreme court advance
opinions, 1915, by Capt Edward K.
Massee, Acknowledgement, Hawaiian
Department, indicate that the sys-
TEN of frontage tax adopted here for
paving purposes is legal, in the opin-
ion of the highest court in the United
States. :.~.. 49,. --....
In the case OF Wagner vs.. Lesser,
where a special assessment for paw
ing purposes was protested on the
ground that Il confiscated property
without due process of law, the su.
preme court held that:
"A special assessment levy. -. upon
property benefited by improving paw
Ing, does not take property without
due process of law, contrary to Unit
ed States constitution, 18th amend
ment, because the special benefits for
which 1t was levied had long since
accrued"
The contention of some property
owners in Honolulu that the frontage
tax was confiscatory seems to be
elassed as incorrect by his decision.
The decision classes all property
benefited by improved paving" as
land properly taxable for paving pur-
poses This would make the districts
formed in Manoa valley and other
places, where property not fronting on
the street to be paved is assessed,
properly taxable for improvement pur-
POSES.
The other decision was made in
case where property was taxed for the
purpose Of draining land in drain.
age district, The decision says:
The levy of a tax of Is cents an
acre. upon all lands within a drain
age district, duly organized under
court order under legislative authort
", does not take without due pro-
cess Of law ...... the property of
owners of land within the district
which may not be benefited by the
completed drainage plans" ...zs
