At the suggestion of Senator Joseph I. Sylva It was decided to have all property, except that of the United States government, in Hawaii assessed as to value by the taxation division, whether or not it Is taxable. This, the senator explained, will complete the tax maps and give a complete picture of the property wealth of the Territory. Furthermore, it will show accurately what the. government is paying in subsidies through tax exemption and will simplify the return of any property to a taxable basis should occasion arise.

Property assessments will be made on "a fair and reasonable value" rather than on a full cash basis, in accordance with the tax board's recommendations. Although the exemption phase of the real property tax bill was given detailed attention by the senators yesterday after they set to work on the measures before them, following their decision to work along the lines suggested In Senator Clarence Cooke's plan for a dollar limitation on governmental expenditures rather than a fixed tax rate, there remained plenty of room for further argument when the lawmakers adjourned at 5 o'clock last night. WILL APPROVE SCHOOLS TAX Senator Harold Rice said that he 1 would oppose the taxation of foreign language schools as being unnecessarily discriminatory. These schools, he believes, are entitled to exemptions that are given to incorporated private schools, churches and other organizations. Proponents of the tax on language schools as differentiated from other private schools contended that only those Institutions that relieve the Territory from the burden of lng children In the public schools are entitled to exemption from taxes.

Walole team room, operated in Ma-noa valley by the Salvation Army, will probably be Included among the Institutions that are returned to the tax list, senators said. They declared that all institutions coming into com petition with tax-paying businesses should be placed on the tax list. A special rate for sortie of them may be provided. Properties retained on the free list when the senators began their preliminary survey of exemptions yester day Include those owned or leased by the following: Territory of Hawaii.

Mar. 13 (Saturday) (TJJ.) The National government will never recognize the present rebel regime in Manchuria, it was reiterated here today in a statement issued by the foreign office.

He was born In Honolulu on March 12.1882.

TERRITORY MUST HAVE OWN FUNDS (Continued from Taje 1) la.ure when it again convenes, it will be necessary for the bureau to con-eider the question of withholding approval of any further federal aid projects in Hawaii until satisfactory pro vision for a territorial road fund shall have been made and the coun ties completely eliminated as the agency for providing or administering the same in any manner whatsoever." COUNTIES PROVIDE FUNDS At present the counties furnish the money with, which federal aid road funds are matched, and it Is this feature- that MacDonald desires to change. Hawaii Is entitled to $609,000 out of the national federal aid appropriation. Of this sum. 80,000 Is deducted yearly for five years to pay back the 400,000 emergency appropriation allowed Hawaii In 1930, thus leaving a balance of 9529,000, all or any part of which may be matched with local funds for federal aid pro ject, Under the provisions of the federal aid act, federal funds can be drawn upon to pay one half of the cost of all bridges, and up to a maximum of $15,000 per mile of road cost of all federal aid projects.

As a result of a recent trip of Judd and Bigelow to Washington, the federal road system of the Terrt tory was Increased from 217 miles to 531.6 miles. Up to and including 1930. the total contract price for all federal aid roads In the Territory amounted to $3,557,828.48, of which federal funds provided $1524,712.59 or 34 per cent. including all bridge. The total aver age cost per mile of these roads was $47,862, of which federal funds sup- piled $16,273 per mile.

Under the new federal road system In the Territory, the number of miles of potential federal aid highways has been more than doubled. Loss of the chance to secure federal aid money through failure of the pres ent legislature to comply with the demands of the bureau of roads would be a severe blow to Hawaii, partlcu larly in view of the chance to use this means for unemployment relief, In the opinion of H. A. R. Austin, city and county engineer, and L.

M. white house, formerly holding the same po sitlon. Whitehouse, who was a member of the governor's committee which worked out a ten-year program of public lm provements for the 1931 legislature. pointed out the advantage of having the superintendent of public works In direct charge of the allottment of fed eral aid funds and the deciding voice as to where the roads shall be con structed. WANTS POWER IN TERRITORY "At present the counties decide usually on a basis of political expe dience, where the roads shall be built, he explained.

"MacDonald wants the sole administrative power vested In the superintendent of public works who has been named territorial high, way engineer as well. "He is In a better position to judge where roads are most needed from the point of view of general territorial benefit. 'And while it is true that the federal aid requirements are sometimes arbitrary and difficult to meet, there are many times when we derive great benefit from use of their funds. In instances where we can build ade quate roads without living up to the federal specifications, we do not need to use federal aid. "In view of a possibility of another emergency appropriation similar to the one in 1930 under which we re ceived $400,000, which was matched with a like amount of federal aid money, it would be a shame for us to be deprived of any possibility of par' ticipation in federal aid funds.

This new emergency appropriation. I un derstand, would make $800,000 avail able for Hawaii." MacDonald's letter to Judd follows "No doubt you will recall our re cent discussion concerning the mat' ter of a territorial road fund under the complete Jurisdiction and control of the Territorial highway engineer so as to eliminate the counties as the source from which funds are provided for the construction and maintenance of federal aid road projects In Ha wail. Confirming my statement to you at that time, I wish to advise that there must be provided by the Territory of Hawaii a territorial road fund, which shall be available for the use in meeting the territory's share of the cost of federal aid road projects nd for the maintenance of such proj ects after constructlrn. such fund to be under the sole Jurisdiction and control of the territorial department of public works. This Is necessary in order to comply filly with the re quirements of the fe- al highway act.

"The existing legislation, including the amendments made by Act 95, Session Laws of 1931, has been ten tatively accepted by the bureau as it was not desired to insist on further leaisiation at a time when to do so might have delayed or Interfered wit: contemplated provision for relieving unemployment.

Privately owned forest lands -that were taken from the exempt list include ahout 100,000 acres valued at about half million dollars. These or. lands the owners of which have taken advantage of the present law that permits any person to fence a vacapt lot and declare ix oecicru to forest purposes. The board of agriculture and forestry is given no discretionary power in connection with lands so set aside.

The senators, upon recommendation of the tax board, decided to eliminate this type of private forest from the free list, but will continue to exempt lands dedicated to forests by transfer to the government for a stated term of years.
