Ex-Governor Plllsbury of Minnesota

EXPENSE AND CITIZBN8IIIP.
To demonstrate the enormous ex
pense of clt) and county government
for Hawaii the Advertiser quotes in
part from aluable statistics publlslu)
in the World Almanac. The Bulletin
joins the Advertiser In commending
these tables to citizens of Inwall for
stud). Bearing In mind that Hawaii
with Its tax rate of $1 on every $100.
nnd that all property Is assessed on
Its full valuation so far ns possible,
the reader will discover that of the 110
cities for which statistics are given
only -S lev) the tax rate on the full
valuation of assessable property.
The percentage of actual value on
which the bo-called high tax rate Is
levied averages about 40 per cent.
Peoria, III , for Instance, Is cited b) out
contemporar) ns having n tax rate of
S ID on the hundred. With its usuil
regard for the truth the Advertiser falla
to quote that this rate Is levied on oulv
ten per cent of the full valuation of as
sessable property.
Property owners of this Territory ire
onl) too well aware of the eagerness
with which the tax assessor rolls up
the valuation of their propcrty.ns exem
pi I lied by the price he paid for It or ns
established by the price some wealthy
puchascr may have paid for an
adjoining lot. The man buying a home
can afford and usually does afford a
larger purchase price than he who bu)ii
for Investment or speculation Tho
wealthy citizen who sees a plot of land
that suits his fancy does not hCBltnte
nt the price. Ho can well afford to pay
the purchase price or tho tux rate on
Its full valuation Tho neighbor, how
ever, not blessed with a supei abun
dance of this world's goods over an I
above his home, finds on the arrival of
the assessor that his property has sud
denly advanced In value so far as taxes
nro concerned. Should he go Into tho
market however, he would discover
that the full valuation thus established
is n fictitious one Ho finds further
more that he Is palns inoio for tho
maintenance ot a government In the
Tenltory of Hawaii than tho tonl
state, count) nnd clt) tax of the resi
dent in the nverage Mainland city
