The whiskey men, it now seems. will
not escape payment of the whiskey tax
at the expiration of the time f which
whiskey is allowed to remain in bond
by exporting to Bermuda or elsewhere
and then bringing it back again. At
torney General Brewster has given an
opinion to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, in which he declares that shipping
bonded whiskey abroad under such cir
cupstances is not an expectation within
the law, but that the tax due upon the
spirits at the time of expectation is col.
leGtable on its return to this country.

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss-.SW. |
want to express my approval and ap
probation of the rule you have adopted
for the Press, that double column
advertisements, cuts, and large types,
will not be admitted into our columns
neither will advertisements be admitted
into reading columns at any price"
The use Of large job or handbill type,
and the waste of large blank spaces to
display advertisements, is Of modern
practice, and is in very bad taste acsthct
ically, as well as a fraud on the patrons
of the paper generally, who arc entitled
TO interesting and instructive matter in
the space thus uselcssly occupied. And
it is Of doubtful utility to advertisers
since the attraction to advertisements
IS by comparison, and if all were in.
serted in tasteful and compact style,
the comparison would be as real and
valuable as when all are displayed in
large type and open form.
This practice, of bad taste and doubt
ful utility, is chiefly modern inycls
ton. The great London Times, ail
all the prominent foreign papers, are
clear of ii.
Your "new departure" in that regard
ought to add largely to your subscrp-
tion-list, as it certainly will to the at.
tractivcncss and value OF your columns.
The practice of mixing reading matter
with quack and other advertisements,
so common in modern times, has
always been disgusting to readers gcner-
ally, who will now peruse all your
columns with additional interest.
Yours, etc,

Our Wednesday contemporary, IN his last
issue, ha, seven editorial articles, in every one
Of which there is a misstatcment or an untmth.
Ihi. is one: lie says that the auditor general
has accepted a position on the board of health.
This is not true; but he has accepted a posi-
ton on the board Of education, the accounts Of
which board do not come before him rs audi
torgcncml, and therefore he may very prop.
crly sit on that board. ddlt1ify. .5oH
nili0lo
At first glance this would seem to
be a sufficient answer to the Gazettc's
charge But a second glance shows
that the diversion is merely begging
the question. Why do not the accounts
of the board of education come before
the auditors gcneral2 There is nothing
in the auditing act to show that they
should not Section says "AlI
persons who, by any law, regulation or
appointment, arc now, or shall hsrc-
after be, charged with the duty Of col
lccting or receiving revenue or other
moneys on account Of the Hawaiian
Government, or with the duty OF dis
bursting moneys on account OF the pub.
lie service, shall become and be public
accountants and shall perform all such
duties and render such accounts rs
this act prcscribcs, and as the minister
OF finance and auditor-gcneral shall,
from time to time, direct Section s.,
showing plainly the privilege OF the au-
ditor general to inspect and supervise
the book keeping system of all depart
mcnts Of the government is as follows
"Ihc luditor-gencral shall transmit TO
the minister OF finance the name of
any public accountant or other person
failing to comply with any of the pro-
visions contained in sections I, ? and 4
OF this act, and thcrcupon, and until
such failure shall have been made good
to the satisfaction of the auditor-gcn-
cral, all salary or other moneys that
may be due and payable to such public
accountant or other person shall be
withheld, and the auditor.gcncral shall,
from time to time, communicate with
the minister of finance upon all matters
relating to the collection receipt and
expenditure of the public moneys under
the operation OF this act" There is
nothing in any section of either of the
two parts of the act from which the
above quotations have been made
which cXcmpts the board of education
from the operation of the act 1t is,
then, matter of small moment whether
the auditor-gcneral becomes a member
of one board or another; to accept
any Office other than the one he holds
as executive of the auditing act, is to
do distinctly improper thing

ment viii be quite certain to do it.
This does not apply TO a moderate
supply of small coins, for which there
is special use.
The wise man foresceth the evil,
and hideth himself; but the simple
pass on, and are punished"
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1883-09-01

But the auditorgcncral is hedged
about by specific limitations, and We
charge that he has violated the letter
as well as the spirit, of the law that
gave him Office. Section 10 of the act
already quoted from says: "1hc au
ditor-gencral shall not use, exercise on
follow any profession or employment
whatsoever during his tenure of office,
and shall be paid such annual salary as
the legislative assembly shall appro-
pirate, which salary shall not be di
minished during his continuance in
office" cor employment whatever,
is certainly specific. If a position on
the board of education is not "cm.
ploymcnt, what is it? But the auditor.
general has not only violated the law
by accepting place on the board oil
education, but has, sincohis acceptance
of office, either continuously or at in
tcrvals, carried on an insurance agency
in this city, of which. to all intents and
purposes. hItTcCn the recognized
and qualified agent. If the king and
cabinet desire proof of this charge ii
can be furnished them. Section IA
says; The king with the
advice Of his cabinet council, mayrcmovc
any auditor-gencra upon the address OF
thelcgislativeasscmbl Provided, also,
that at any time it shall be lawful for
the king, with the advice aforesaid, to
suspend the auditor-gencral from his
office for incompctency or misbehavior.
If Mr.. ]. S.
Walker has accepted Office, honestly
meaning to discharge his whole officia
duty, he will ponder these few facts.
Perhaps he may even consider the pro
priety of reading the auditing act care.
fully. If he read, al the same time,
that excellent book of political refer.
ence public opinion he will consider
the further propriety of resigning at
least one of his official positions, and
Withdrawing entirely from outside bust
ness The Office of auditor-gencral is
one that depends more on the man who
occupies ii than on the statute which
created it, Let Mr., Walker remember
that Legislative act may dispense with
the office that legislative act created

speaks of some person who has written

lleyc the statement TO be false, so far as
