ALIEN HEAD TAX
IS DOUBLED BY
IMMIGRATION Law
Act Effective May ] Means All
Aliens Must Pass Tests in
Reading Before Sailing

Beginning May ! every alien leaving
Honolulu for San Francisco. whether
first cabin or steerage, will have to
pay q head tax" OF IS instead Of 81.
under the new immigration bill, which
win become effective on that date.
The law, which contains the literary
test clause, was passed by the senate
over the presidents veto.
Head Tax 10 Doubled
On the first day of May every alien
leaving AAatic ports for Honolulu will
be required, before sailing, to pass
the literacy test, reading 40 words in
any language he selects. Unless he
can read, the steamship agency will
not be allowed to sell him ticket to
the United States.
Resdina Tests IN Orient
According to the shipping depart
ment OF Castle & Cooke, the local
agent for the Togo Kisen Kaisha,
which brings more Asiatics to Homo
lulu every year than any other fOfeign
steamship line. the literaey test clause
in the new law will cause the T. X.
KS agencies in the Orient tremend-
Gus lot OF additional work, as II will
be up to them to give the reading tests
to all prospective passengers.
Ii will also undoubtedly greatly re-
duce the number Of Asiatics coming
to Hawaii. San Francisco steamship
men say It will cut the number down
one-haif, as all Intending alien pas
sengers who can not read will not be
sold tickets. United States Immigra-
tion Inspector Richard L. Halsey, in
charge OF this port, said today the new
law places the examination for aliens
coming TO Hawaii on the same basis
as aliens entering any mainland port
OF The United States.
Filipincs Are Exempt
The literacy test will not apply to
FilipinOs coming to Hawaii to work
on sugar plantations as they are
United States subjects even II their
status as American citizens is IN doubt
at the present time.
Aliens coming to Honolulu from the
Orient, Australia or other foreign
countries will not have to pay a head
tax on arrival here as this territory
is classed as an insular possession Of
the United States.
HGMO y ~ k0BSSbSO ttGtG
On leaving Honolulu for San Fran
cisco, however. every alien viii now
have to pay head tax OF IS. inst
double the present tax. This tax will
be collected by the steamship agencies
here and forwarded to the United
States Immigration officials at San
Francisco. The increased tax will un'
doubtedly result in loud protest from
Australians who come here on the
Makura and Niagara and go on to San
Francisco by Matson steamers. It will
have to be paid by all aliens, whether
first cabin, second or steerage.
Arrivals Here Exempt
The new law provides head tax ex
emptions for aliens ARRIVING in GUAM
Porto Rico or Hawaii, but II any such
alien shall later reach q United States
port on the North American continent
the head tax must be paid in respect
OF him." There are also exemptions
for diplomats. officials Of foreign gov:
ernments and certain other classes.

oahu MEMBERSAT
WORK ON CHARTER

AS the members of the Oahu dele
CATION went into session at 2 o'clock
this afternoon to consider the charter
bill. rumors we're rife on the floor re.
garding probable changes in and
amendments to the measure as 1t now
stands.
One report was that the delegation
would vote down the amendment pro.
posed by the Chamber Of Commerce
giving the board Of supervisors the
power to appoint heads of depart
ments. The delegation. 1t was further
reported, undoubtedly would retain the
present system which makes all of
fices elective. but would create the of
flee of chief of police. providing that
this officer be appointed by the mayor
with the consent of the board OF SUI
pervisors. Such action would tend to
take the control of the police depart
ment from the sheriff, making him a
civil officer.
II was also learned that the delega-
tion may consider provision whereby
the mayor will appoint superintend-
ent of city works, with the approval
Of the supervisors.
1t Is reported authoritatiyely that
the Oahu delegation of both houses
has practically agreed that the charter
bill as now before the house should
stand with no other radical changes.
The principal feature of the discus.
sion this afternoon doubtless will
hinge on the, election Of supervisors.
At present they are elected at large.
Various proposals have been made thai
three shall be elected from the fourth
and three from the fifth, with the
mayor at large.
