A. NJ. Liebling and his family had
narrow escape from death early to-

The building was badly damaged,
but the presses were uninjured and
none was hurt Two bombs were ex-

The bombs seemed placed to do
more injury to the Liebling apart
ment, over the newspaper plant, than
to the presses.
Union labor and politics are each
being blamed for planting the bombs.
Liebling was a witness for the state

The Bowman Dairy Co. boosted
the price Of its milk to nine cents a

It is believed that the smaller COM
panies will now boost their price.
The Ira J. Mix dairy will raise their

Californian Smilingly Admits
He Has "Many Things" to

REFUSES TO MAKE ANY
DEFINITE STATEMENTS

Present Officials

When United States Senator James
d. Phelan of California was about to
board the Great Northern this morn
ing for the return trip to the coast ne
made no definite promises concerning
his recommendations to the president
relative to the administration Of Ha-
waits government, but he admitted
he had considerable information to re-
port to Mr.. Wilson, and his general
manner indicated his reports will be
favorable.
The senator was loaded to the ears
with leis and surrounded by friends as
he made his way through the crowd
to the steamers side, not moment
too soon. He was about the last pas
senger to climb the g-plank and
to the last two reporters were at his
side, and may it be said that they both
received his attention even in those
last hurried moments.

ment TO prominent official here that

tinue the present governmental in

He did not deny, however, that such

Senator Phelan has ben a recogniz-

important afaifrs, including the Santo
Domingo affair and 1t is generally un-
derstood that his recommendations to

There are few things think

with grim smile.
A happy aloha" was his last word
as he scrambled up the gang-plank.
No attempt was made by the local
Democratic party to influence Senator
Phelan in any recommendations he
may make regarding Hawaii, says
Prof. W. A. Bryan, chairman of the
territorial central committee
so far as / am aware there was no
effort of this kind" Bryan says. The
party had but very little time to
even entertain him. His address at
Aala park was a very clear one o.

There were three charges on the

BIGCHANGES IN
TAXLAWSUNDER
DISCUSSION NOW
Territorial Commission Is Con-
sidering Plans That May
BE Proposed
TALK OF AB0LISHING
TITLE OF POLL TAX
Suggestions Will Probably Be
Put to Public in Formal
Notice

Radical changes in the tax system
of the Territory of Hawaii are under
consideration by the territorial tax
commission, it was learned today, and
though no definite suggestions Will De
proposed to legislators until after a
careful study on the matter, several
plans which have come up for consid-
Grafton are getting the careful study
of the commissioners.
Whatever changes are to be pro-
rosed to the coming legislature Will
not be given until the plans have been
given out in a formal manner for the
people, so that any objections to GER
tain of them can be brought before
the commission in meeting.
Massachusetts" Savings Tax
One of the plans proposed for
consideration by the tax commission
is that now used in Massachusetts OF
taxing the money deposited in. savings
banks, the tax being paid by the banks
themselves and being at low rate.
The suggestion has been made that
the commission take over practically
the same law in this regard as the
Bay State uses and apply 1t to Hawaii.
Poll Tax Changes
Another proposal, and what is said
to meet with considerable fayor,gfs the
abolishment of the poll tax Of 81 a
person and changing it to road tax.
At present, besides the 81 poll tax,
there is a school tax of 50 and a 81
road tax.
If the proposed plan should go
through, it would mean road tax Of
SO and school tax of 81. 1t is pointed
out that while there would be certain
advantages to this, it would be hard
ship on sparsely settled communities
which must depend for their road
money on the distributive poll tax.
Change Collection Method
Still another suggestion that has
been made to the commission and one
vitality important to corporations is
that corporation taxes shall be assum-
ed by companies having interest in
them. This would be done by striking
out a portion of Section 1241, which
gays, There shall be deducted there
from the value of shares held in other
Hawaiian corporations"
1t was pointed out today by one Of
the commissioners that there exists a
certain corporation in these islands
valued at 100000, but which pays to
Hawaii through it's taxes only $500,
which sum is for office furniture and
such tangible assets. The rest Is paid
on investments on the mainland. II
the taxes were to be assumed by the
companies holding shares in the cor
poration it would come to fill the ter.
ritorial Golfers instead of those of a
mainland office.
1t is understood that plans for
changing the method of taxing auto
mobiles so that horsepower or gas
consumption instead of weight shall
be used as basis are also proposed.
