Chief Legislation for Which Session
Was Called Found to be Unnecessary
Revenues Will be Sufficient Since Corporations Will Probably Pay Two and
Half Times Much Taxes This Year, Teachers Salaries to Wait
and Foreign Language School Legislation May Not Reported Upon
Until Regular Session.

Little of the legislation for which
the special session of the Legislature
was chiefly caused will be enacted is
the indication in the reports coming
from Honolulu. After the legislature
had assembled information the Cover
nor had not previously had was secur-
ed to the effect that the income taxes
would be more than $1,000,000 more
next year than it has been this. The
finance committee of the house has
reported against the passage of the
bill to increase the revenues which
was to permit taxing of amounts paid
on income taxes to the federal gov
ernment.
Other legislation which promises to
go over includes Increases in pay to
the teachers and the foreign language
school measures. The house commit.
tee has decided to delete the appro-
priation in the school bill by $751;
600 and allow the $224,000 required to
meet this years deficit. The senate
favors full investigation of the
foreign language school situation and
the various bills looking toward their
control or elimination and a report on
the bills at the regular session.
Governor is quoted
Relative to the sufficiency of rev.
enue next year Governor Mccarthy is
quoted as saying:
ION the day the special session
opened, l was given certain figures
which came from one sugar agency
which showed the amount of money
that ageniy's plantations has paid
during 1920 to the territory as income
tax, and which also gave an estimate
of what they expected to pay as in
come tax in 1921. These figures shJw-
ed that in 1921 they would pay appro-
Ximately Two and one-half times os
much as in 1920. If these figures
had been given to me earlier, it is
just possible that there may not have
been a special session of the legisla-
ture.
I'm April" the governor continued,
II received a statement from the audit
ing department showing that the eX-
penditures of the territory amounted
to about $750,000 more than the rev.
enues. This amount being only for
nine months, it showed that we would
be short about a million dollars for
the calendar year, or approximately
$2,000,00O for the biennial period.
1920 Income Tax
"The tax assessor at my request
furnished me with an estimate of the
income tax for the calendar year of
1920, which amounted to approximate
ly $857,000. When these figures were
shown to the treasurer, he stated he
believed they were too conservative,
and desired, to go into the matter him
self. After he had taken up the mat

Expert on Mentality
OF Children Coming

DR.. E. B. Hoag, whose studies of
juvenile delinquencies and mental de
ficiency have attracted wide attention
in Honolulu and Kauai and who is
now on the Big Island, will be on Maui
during the week from December to
December 10, according to advices re-
ceived this week. He will conduct
studies and investigation on those sub
jects here in the larger schools of the
Island, arrangements for which will
be made by committee prior to and
at the time of his arrival and it is
hoped he will address the Woman's
Club and the meeting of the Teachers
Association which will be timed to be
held during his visit.
DR.. Hoag is a mainland student of
and expert on child mentality and has
conducted wide and searching investi-
cations into abnormality an subnor-
mality and the best methods of hand
Eng such pupils. In the coures of
such Investigations juvenile delin-
quency has come in for wide study
and suggestions from him will be op-
perfume when Maui is seeking to Sc
cure detention homes and salaried pro-
baton officers here.

Teachers Disappointed
In Hopes for More Pay

Teachers on Maui, as in other parts
of the Islands, are outsponken in their
disappointment over the action of a
house committee in eliminating from
the school appropriation bill $157,000
for salary increases. In some instan-
ces Superintendent MacCaughey is be-
ing blamed for putting into the budget
from which the bill was drafted ap-
preparations for school buildings,
equipment, and play ground equip
ment, which the teachers complain,
could have been left to the regular
session for action.
Reports from Hilo say that some
of the teachers on the Big Island are
threatening a walkout or strike as an
expression of their dissatisfaction but
nothing of the kind is talked of on
this Island. Another Hilo report is
that numbers of the teachers will give
up their positions the first of the
year unless they secure assurance of
salary increases at the regular ses-
sion which will open in February.
Honolulu reports which quote the
Territorial Treasurer as saying that
warrants for the teachers pay will
have to be discounted by the banks
has been another source OF alarm,
some of the teachers wondering If
they would lose the amount of the
discount the banks would be expected
to charge.

Trial Term Is Delayed
Court Fund Too Meager

Owing to lack of funds the jury
term of the Circuit Court has been
postponed to the tentative date of
November 20 awaiting passage of a
bill at the special term of the legisla-
ture and subsequent appropriation of
money for court expenses by the board
of supervisors.
AT Saturdays meeting of the super
visors the county attorney rendered
the opinion that the board is without
authority to make the appropriation for
the costs of the proposed term of
court asked by Judge Burr because
such appropriation would bring the
total appropriation for the court for
the year in excess of $4,000. He cited
decisions in support of his opinion. 1t
was tren determined to secure the
necessary authority from the legisla-
ture and the county attorney has
drafted and sent to Honolulu a bill
which covers the situation. AS it is
emergency legislation speedy passage
is expected. When advised of the
passage of the act Chairman Kalama
will call the board into session and
pass the appropriation.
When court was convened on Mon
day Judge Burr announced the jurors
We're relieved from duty until the
tentative date of November 29.

Body of Engineer is

was in a good state of preservation
Sheriff Crowell went and secured il
and attended to its shipment TO Ho-
nolulu in the Mauna Kea Monda,
night. Reminglon's watch had stop
ped at seven minutes after five o.
clock, thus determining the time of
his death.
Before leaving for Honolulu last
Friday, Engineer James e. Stewart Of
the photographic survey told of the
events that Immediately preceded
Remington's death. The two had come
TO the stream. which was running very
swiftly but was not deep at the ford.
He recognized the danger in attempt
ing TO wade the stream, He believed
his horse could make it but feared the
mule could not. being lighter and
smaller animal He told Remington
to remain with the animals until he.
Stewart, had crossed over the foot
bridge, then TO turn the horse loose
and if that animal made it safely to
send the mule across.
Then you ID not think the mu'a
can make it?" inquired Remington and
Steward replied that he did not think
I could. He did not specifically .oll
Remington not 80 attempt to RE
across, thinking he had made it clea-
he was to follow aver the foot bridge
There are three theories as to how
Remington met his death. One is
that he attempted 10 ride across. The
second is that he waded into the
stream to force the mule to make the
attempt and was himself swept away.

ter, he made a report that the re-
ceipts would be more than million
dollars. The actual receipts for the
fiscal year ending June 80 amounted
to $1,O5O,OOO.
Gas l stated in my message to the
special session, the estimates made
and presented to the last Legislature
were on the basis OF $2900,00O in N
come taxes for the two years, or ST.
$4,000 for single year. AS shown
above, the actual cash receipts for one
year were 100000 below the estimate.
The treasurer of the territory has
no means of knowing what the pros
pective revenue of the territory will
be until the month of February, when
most of the corporations hold their
annual meetings, and when reports are
made as to their financial standing.
in the meantime, any estimate that
the treasurer should make is merely
guesswork, and in making these guess
es he necessarily must be very con
servative.
Shortage in April
In April Of this year | gave for
publication 4 statement that the ter.
rltory was experiencing a shortage IN
revenues AM suggested as a method
OF raising the necessary funds that we
amend the income tax law so as not to
allow deductions of taxes paid to the
United Stfles.
Ihls was no new thing at the time.
one OF the newspapers objected edi-
torlally to the plan on the ground of
It's legality. took this matter up and
found that there was no question as
to its legality
up to the time of the opening of
the special session, no statement had
Deen made to me or other officer of
the government that the revenues of
the territory were likely to be improv-
ed On the day the session opened
was given certain figures coming from
one susar/agency. These showed the
amounts the agency's plantations had
PAID during 1920 to the territory as in
come tax; and gave an estimate of
what they expected to pay in 1921. It
was shown that for 1921 they would
pay approximately two and one third
times as much in 1920. II these
figures had been given me earlier, it
Is Just possible that there may not
have been special session.
Then, again, it is probable that
what applies to the one sugar agency
in question may not apply all along
the line, taking into consideration the
fact that l have the estimates of only
one agency covering five plantations.
UP to the present we are in the dark
as to what increase, if any, in income
taxes will be paid by the other coz
porations."

Funds for Sanitarium
and Hospitals Provided;
Bill Passed by Senate

For the purpos OF providing suffl
cient funds for the proper upkeep,
maintenance and Improvement of
kula Sanitarium and Maui's county
hospitals without diminishing county
funds so that road upkeep and i'm
provements would suffer. Senator
Harold w. Rice introduced Senate
Bill 13 at the special session of the
legislature and it is one of the first
senate bills to pass third reading and
go to the house. 1t provides that the
tax assessor of the second taxation
division shall, commencing with the
year 1921 and each year thereafter, in
crease the tax rate on real and per-
sonal property in said taxation divi-
sion over that provided in any other
law to an extent sufficient to provide
the annual sum of Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) which
shall, when collected, be paid to the
treasurer of the County of Maui and
be held by him IN a special fund for
the use with other moneys made
available by the Board of Supervisors
and by the Legislature of the Terri
tory of Hawaii for permanent i'm
provement, maintenance and equip
ment of the Kula Sanitarium and the
County Hospitals of the County of
Maui.
If the bill pass the house and meet
the approval of the governor it viii
add AZ to the tax rate of the county
provided valuation of real and person
al taxes is unchanged The measure
is the one Senator Rice mentioned to
the members of the Chamber of Com
merce at the last meeting Of that
body. Until now the county has been
able to care for the sanitarium and
the hospitals from the general funds
but to make the necessary improve
ment and the increasing costs of main
tenance would deplete the countys
general fund and cause cessation of
other work unless a remedy We're
found such as is offered in the bill.

Indictments Returned
By Grand Jury Held to
Be Valid as to Form

Motion to quash the indictments
against Ned Nicholas recently hand
ed down by the grand jury, which
would have had the same effect on
all other of the recent indictments by
that body, was denied by Circuit
Judge l.. l.. Burr in an opinion which
he handed down on Thursday. The
indictments We're endorsed by "E. r.
Bevins, County Attorney" and not by
"E. r. Bevins, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral," the words deputy attorney
general" having been stricken out
and the words county attorney" writ
ten in by Mr.. Bevins.
Eugene Murphy, as attorney for Nj
cholas, raised the point that the sta
tutes provide for prosecution by the
attorney general and though the coun-
ty attorney is by statute made a dep
uty attorney general, that when Mr.
Bevins declined TO act as deputy
attorney general he made the indict-
ments null.
Judge Burr in his written opinion
cites section II of the Organic Act
which states who shall prosecute, the
rule prior to the adoption of such act,
passage of the County Government
Act, the provisions of the laws of 1915
as to who shall prepare indictments,
and quotes from the case of Castle
VS. Atchison. Judge Burr reaches the
conclusion that it must be the attor-
ney general or a deputy who is the
officer, that the county at
torney is by law a deputy attorney
general, cannot waive so being when
acting and willy nilly is for all pur-
poses of the indictments such deputy
under the provisions of the law Hence
he denies the motion.

Foreign Language School Bills
May Produce Prolonged Session

Foreign language schools are sub
ject for legislation in several bills in
troduced in both houses at the special
session of the legislature In the sen
ate the first sentiment was for inves
tigation only at this session with re-
porting of bills out at the regular seq
sion in February. In that body there
appeared to be some unwillingness for
action at this time as expressed by
Senator Tavares who was quoted as
saying:
In the first place, it is gong to
precipitate a lengthy debate that may
Keep this special session going in
definitely, and in the second place,
while the Japanese on the Islands
know very well whCt is going to hap
pen, | believe it is hardly fair to cut
on the language schools suddenly.
Let's give them a show. There's no
need to rush the thing through"
The bills introduced by Senator
Baldwin as chairman of the commit
tee selected to intooduce administsa-
uon measures in the senate went to
committee with a clear express. on Of
sentiment for full investigation and
against an early report. Such senti-
ment appears to have changed with
the introduction by Senator Baldwin.

which event the session may be some

The text of the last bill introduced
follows:
Section 1. The term foreign Ian

Forty Per Cent Saved
By County for Bridge

Between $4,000 and $4,000 has been
saved to Maui County by having Hoa-
lua Bridge in Makawao built under
the direction of the county engineer
instead of by contract The saving
has been approximately 40 per cent
OF the figures given by the bidders
whose offers We're turned down.
Two tenders for the construction of
Hoalua bridge We're rejected The
lower tender was for $S697 and the
higher for $933S. The sworn state
ment of A. P. Low, county engineer,
shows the work has been satisfactor-
