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, whethel
first cabin or steerage, will have to
pay "head tax of IS instead of 81
under the new immigration bill, which
will become effective on that date
; The law, which contains the literary
test" clause, was passed by the senate
over the presidents veto. - .-.
Head Tax Is Doubled -.
On the first day OF May every alien
leaving Asiatic 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 a ticket to
the United States. f..
Reading 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 foreign
steamship line, the literacy test clause
in the new law will cause the T. K.
KS agencies in the Orient a tremend-
Gus lot of additional work, as it 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 IL will cut the number down
one-half, as all intending alien pas.
sengers who can not read will not be
sold tickets. United States Immigra-
ton 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.
FiIipinos 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 If 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 now have to pay head
tax on arrival here as this territory
is classed as an insular possession of
the United States.
Head Tax Collected Here
On leaving Honolulu for San Fran
cisco, however, every alien will now
have to pay a head tax of So, j,Ist
double the present tax. This tax will
be collected by the steamship agencies
here and forwarded to the United
States immigration officials at Fan
Francisco. The increased tax Will I'M
result in loud protest from
Australians who come here on the
Makura and Niagara and go on to San
Francisco by 5Matson steamers. 1t will
have to be paid by all aliens. whether
first cabin, second or steerage.
