SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Nov. T.
The preparations for the coming hig
event at Schofield Barracks point to a
series of performances such as the
post has never yet had, for Capt. Bar
ney's program is rapidly shaping into
very remarkable proportions.
While nothing definite has been Civ
en- out yet concerning il, it is known
that it includes some really fine
stunts, a thing not to be wondered at
as the organizers have the cream of
the local talent TO pick and choose
from So.
People familiar with the service
know what an assortment of clever
stunts can be got from amongst so
huge a number OF men as the big army
post contains. -.
Apparently tae program is to be ex-
tremey varied in character, entirely
free Of anything like repetition. and
will be so ordered that there will be
not moments delay, the whole show
running rapidly through without
pause. This is necessity in conse-
quence of the length of the show
From all accounts the performances
have already unusual backing in all
quarters, every regiment being keen
ly interested, while many people here
in Honolulu are taking interest; in
fact, the question has already been
asked whether the show cannot be
repeated in the city
Certainly all music lovers will like
to hear the big orchestra, for so large
a one can ordinarily be heard only in
large cities en- the mainland.

the provisions of the assailed statutes
must once more be tested solely under
the general and pre- existing PROVISIONS
OF the Constitution, causing tho
statute again to be void in the absences
OF apportionment td) AS the pOweK'
conferred by the amendment Ia new

statute to make its provisions retroa@

the retroactive period is concerned, IL

But 1t clearly results that tbs
proposition and the contention under
II. IL acceded to, would cause one pros
vision of the Constitution to destroys
another: that Is, It would result In
bringing the provisions of the amends

apportionment into irreconcilahle con-
fiict with the general requiremenf4I
that all direct taxes be apportiol1edss
Moreover the tax authorized by the
amendment. being direct, would not
come under the rule OF unifornIfys

other than direct taxes, and thus IL
would come to pass that the result Or
the amendment would be to authorsxa8

my only hope of cure was an opera

a complete cure without operation. II

then proceeded on the merits to af-

The various propositions (alleging

herent, but rather arises from the
conclusion that the sixteenth amend
ment provides for a hitherto unknown
power of taxation. that Is, a power to
levy an income tax which, although
direct. should not be subject to the
regulation of apportionment ap-
pHcable to all other direct taxes. And
the far-reaching effect of this erron-
eous assumption will be made clear
by generalizing the many contentious
advanced in argument to support 1t.
az follows:
"(a) The amendment authorizes
only a particular character OF direct
tax without apportionment, and there
fore IL tax la levied under IT'S as
sumed authority which does not. par
take of the characteristics exacted by
the amendment, IL is outside of the
amendment and Is void as a direct tax
in the general constitutional sense, be-

amendment authorizes a tax only upon
incomes from whatever sources de-
rived the exclusion from taxation of
some incomes of designated persons
and classes Is not authorized and
hence the constitutionality Of the law
must be tested by the general pro-
visions OF the constitution as to tax
alton. and thus again the tax Is void
for want of apportionment. (c) AS
the right TO tax incomes from what
