S.

Next To Sacramento, Is Towse's Statement Hoping to assist the city and county in preventing; further increases in its tax rate, the county and municipal affairs committee of the chamber of commerce decided late Thursday afternoon to make a complete study of the tax situation. A discussion of taxes has been scheduled for the next meeting when statistics will be presented by Oscar Goddard, director of the Hawaii Bureau of Government Research, and Campbell Crozier, assistant superintendent of the appraisal bureau of the territorial tax board. "There must be a stop to this increase of taxes," Ed. Towse, chairman, declared in starting the discussion at the committee's first meeting of the year. "It is my understanding that next to the city of Sacramento, the tax rate here is heaviest in the United States." Other Islands Aid Mayor Fred Wright, who was invited to address the committee, declared that the only way to reduce taxes is for the city and county to avoid paying "so much for the upkeep of the other islands.

"Right at this time, for example, we are paying approximately $2 a $1000 assessment of property for school teachers' salary on the Island of Hawaii, he said. Another reason, the mayor added, is that too many lands have been placed on the free list. He said that their valuations might reach $40,000,000, an amount which could reduce the tax rate materially. Mandatory claims on the city's funds through legislative acts, such as the creation of positions and increase in salaries, were cited as another reason for the increase in taxes. Members of the committee declared themselves unanimously opposed to the practice of legislative dictation.

Editor, The Star-Bulletin: At a conference in London on what to do about the -world's surplus wheat, it broke up, as us-r ual. They even eat corn bread during the conference.

Treadway To Follow Advice Of Attorney General On Legislative Provision Thomas a wa territorial auditor, announced today that he will not pay to Harold Godfrey, local probation officer, the $1000 provided in a bill which passed the recent legislature and became law without the governor's signature.

In declining to make payment, Mr. Treadway is acting upon the advice of the attorney general's department, which recently wrote him as follows: "This department feels compelled to abide by its conclusion that there lis no moral or legal obligation suf ficient to sustain the appropriation." The story behind the appropriation is that Frank Godfrey died intestate some years ago, and his estate reverted to the territory. Proponents of the legislative bill held that Harold Godfrey was entitled to recover $1000 because he had cared for Frank Godfrey In his declining years. On two previous occasions legislatures passed similar bills and, according to Auditor Treadway, they were vetoed by the governor. Mr.

Godfrey will have recourse to the courts if he moves to question the decision of the auditor. Auditor Treadway is also holding up, pending further Investigation, two other bills which the governor vetoed, and which were passed by both houses notwithstanding.
