distributed by Secretary Redfeld Of
shipping men, dealing with the danger
Of fires at sea. The secretary says;
Recent developments while inyesti-

issue this letter of admonition and eau.
ton to all concerned regarding the
great care which should be exercised
by shippers and carriers in packing,
shipping, and slowing infammAble or
combustible materials, whether in re-
stricted or exempted lists or not, as it
has been most clearly demonstrated
that fire, the most dreaded of all the
hazards, can be averted and prevented
by the exercise of possible precautions.

in each roll of which was a can or
canister Of paint with benzene as an
ingredient, was carried in large guam.

Of dangerous practises which should be
promptly and permanently corrected
with a firm determination to carry out
the necessary principle of safety

lessons taught by experience may not

Arriving yesterday at sne O'clock in
the afternoon from Antofagasta, the
four.masted schooner William B. Olsen
is now of port undergoing fumigation.
She will enter at nine o'clock this
morning and probably be docked at
Pier IL. The master refused pilot
and came to the anchorage himself,
shortly before the liner Venezuela
sailed and the Siberia Maru came in.
II was then found that the Olsen
had anchored directly across the mouth
of the channel. A pilot was sent out
to her and her master explained that
he had mistaken can buoy number two
for the bell buoy. The schooner did
not change her anchorage, there being

|" Grinding Face Of the Poor

ITIAWAII has one practise that smacks tyranny,
u i namely the practise of penalizing the nom
payment of taxes to the extent of ten per cent,
with other costs as trimmings ',a
This hits the small man but not the corporation
the kuleana-owner but not the big land owner,
for the very simple reason that corporations, big
ranchers, planters and merchants pay their taxes,
on the dot and when due. -'E. "a
1t costs the government practically nothing
above the cost OF accounting to collect ninety per
cent OF the revenues. The other ten per cent be-
ing paid by individuals, small merchants, small
farmers and citizens to whom tax money" means
an abnormaly high ratio of total earnings for the
year. 1t is this "underdog" ten per cent of the
tax payers that is penazed, by the addition of ten
per cent overcharge advertising costs court costs
special levy and sherif's sale, expenses, and by
the additional sdrcharge of ten per cent interest
on the sum due until paid .. @@r
Taxes are one Of the items of cost of production
which every large producer prepares to pay.
Not So however the small taxpayer who neither
keeps an exact account of income and expenditures
nor accumulates liquid capital by means of which
he can meet this extra burden. .@|
The only reason why the small men have to pay
this penalty is because when the tax is due thew
actually have not the money with which to pay.
Hence the penalizing of this class of taxpayers
is grinding the face Of the poor" 1t is meanness
personihed. o H. 90 ,HfE.,
In the words of Kahuna Nu it is case of Hit
i'm agen; him got no fren." -,.. MI
A three per cent penalty for the non-paymenll
of taxes when due would be enough to deter any
from defaulting while six per ccutI
interest on over due taxes--sthe legal commercial
interest rate ought to be sufficient. "A
When small taxpayers once get behind year,
or two on their taxes, the only recourse is to die,
emgrate, or go bankrupt. Any one OF these alter
natives is unpleasant.
Is there not some member OF the legislature who
will take this injustice up and remedy it by an APP
propriate amendment to the tax law?

which give a thickness of nine and a
half inches Of wire, but at the muzzle
there are only IA layers. Over the
wire the gunmakers shrink on steel
rings at white heat. When they cool
they contract and grip with immense
force. The filing of the barrel is an
automatic process-an example of
wonderful mechanical ingenuity. When
the gun is finished experts test the
accuracy of the rifling with plastic

remarkable machine in our Ac-
counting Department a machine
which adds and subtracts, tells the
date, keeps our books and gets out
monthly statements. It does all
this work much faster than any
bookkeeper could, and has never
been known to make a mistake.

ATLANTA STREET CAR WAS
BESTED BY AUTOMOBILE

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb S.-For the
first time in the history of traffic, an
automobile has bested a street car in
a knock down and drag out fight. JIM
my Greene, a newspaper poet, asserts
that the other automobiles at Five
Points laughed until their carbure-
tors were choked with gasoline
Be the laughing as it may, the traf-
fic cop and line crew are puzzling
ever the miraculous outcome of the
collision, for by all theories of states
and dynamics, and by all the lessons
Of experience, the automobile should
have been reduced to scrap iron and
the street car should have proceeded
on it's journey undisturbed.
Instead, the street car was knocked
into Decatur street and the automo-
bile was not dented.
