PROSPERITY IS
Shown BY HUGE
TAX COLLECTION
Much Coin, No Bogus Checks,
Point to Good Times, Says
Assessor Wilder

HawaTi's present prosperity, accord
ing TO a statement today by Tax Asses
sor Charles T. Wilder. is being shown
by the returns in his office for the
haif-year just closed. These returns
so Wilder declares, are the highest
in the history OF the office.
Wilder is a veteran in the tax bust
ness, having first entered the local OF.
flee in 1904, and served continuously
ever since that time. He said today
that while only approximate figures
can as yet be reached in regard TO the
present collections, the volume of
money that has poured in during the
last few days points to good times.
I'VE have collected more coin,
says Wilder, taking into consideration
the check and cash payments. than
ever before Much cash in the pay
ments is always good sign.
in regard TO the checks | would
like to state that of some $SSI.000
collected, not a single bad check has
been found, and they have come from
all parts of the territory. That is in
deed gratifying
Coin collections have Appropriated
$S0,600 so far. Last year at the end
of May they were $60,0o0 100000
short of our present figure, and we
still have 10 days to go this month.
Roughly estimated collections this
year are between 100000 and $1,000
600 to date, which will be swelled in
the next 10 days, according to the col
leetor, who looks for at least $275,OOo
yet. The tax rate itself is higher by
only eight cents for every $1,000, while
actual property values have increased
by s6,Ge0,O00 or $S,0OO,000.
BESIDES the present collections, APP
proximately SIS. 900 was depositk
with the treasurer in April because
the territory needed funds at that
time, the money being collected ahead
of time when It would naturally fill
in May.
Taxes became delinquent on May
Is, but since hat time people have
kept coming, and the tax clerks are
about the busiest people in territorial
employ, at the present time.

ARNOLD NOT YET
OUT FORMAYOR,
MAY BEPUSHED
Supervisor Says He Has Not
Thought Of II, But Friends
Favor Him

Charles ~ Arnold. supervisor from
Eve. doesn't like the declaration made
in the morning paper that he is
grooming himself for mayor and
said so this morning. Il haven't given
"a thought to the matter" he declared.
No one could be found around the
city hall who had ever heard Arnold
say that he intended to make the race
at next election time. but there were
those who said they had heard his
name mentioned many, many times.
Charlie Arnold stands the best
chance of any member of the present
administration for reelection. assert.
ed one politician, man who has seen
many administrations come and 90
and has held on to his job in the city
hall through them all. IF there is
any one OF those in power now who
stands any show of being the next ma
yor of Honolulu il is Arnold"
A number of Arnold's friends, mem
bers of the board and city officials,
have been declaring for weeks that
when the right time came they were
going to push Arnold into the fight.
"He is the one man who hasn't got
himself in bad with some faction or
another" the say .He has made a
.good record during his time on the
board and is thoroughly familiar with
city affairs. He would make good
mayor and a good vote getter"
But election time is many months
away.

is concerned Honolulu is going very slowly.
Little dabs in the city will be improved by the

money for city hall.

The Star Bulletin favors the eity-manager plan

Many people are of the opinion
that sheep is nothing but scav-
enger that needs little attention,
but it will be found that the more
care and attention the lambs re-
ceive the greater the profit will be.
Among the items of good care in
fattening lambs the following are
worth remembering: The feed lot
should be kept free from other an
imals. Lambs should be fed with
regularity. Quiet in the feed lot
is important. Feed troughs should
be kept as clean as possible. Salt
is necessary and should be before
them at all times in a separate
trough. Lambs do not need much
shelter, but good windbreak is
necessary and an open shed where
by their coats and feet can be kept
dry gives the best results.
