DOUBT IF EVER
TAX COMMISSION
Will BE
Territorial Officials Think the
Expense Would Prevent
Such Legislation

Territorial officials who have given
thought TO the tax commission ques-
ton do not believe such body is
feasible nor possible for Hawaii, ac-
cording TO statements made to the
Star-Builetin.
Such body, il is explained, would
consist of trained men who would
make a study Of tax assessments in
different countries, giving all their
time TO the work This would Of ne
cessity mean u big expense TO the ter
ritory.
The commission would act as a
board Of equalization, would make as
sessments and rules for assessments.
giving advice 20 the regular tax as
SCISSORS as is now done By the treas
IIrer.
AT present the custom OF having the
treacIrer give advice TO the various
assessors is not especially satisfactory,
II is stated, owing to the fact that the
term of treasurer is often short in du-
ration as compared with that of the
different assessors who frequently
hold their positions for many years.
This often results in a green man
trying 10 instruct veteran. The
treasurer is often busy with other
work as well and is generally spend
ing the first two years of office
Learning the ropes" OF the business
Immediately around him.
Despite these things, however, a sur
vey OF the situation with territorial
officials does not lead to the belief
that such commission is likely to be
formed by the next legislature, taking
into consideration the extra expense
1t would bring. Hawaii's tax laws are
now on a splendid basis as compared
with those of mainland states, 1t is
pointed out.

Doubtless a great many people are
not very familiar with the difficulties
encountered or the actual cost and
worth OF this big undertaking. so the

history In connection herewith will
not be out OF place. This district was
organized and known as Burieson

held that the district did not apply 10
that law because the methods EN-.
ployed tended more 10 keeping Off

early part OF January preceding this

more than twice that amount OF land
