from a Business Standpoint as fol
lows:
Successful study OF problems first re-
quires clear statement. All known con-
ditions must be accurately presented.
The liquor problem, however, has alwa Us
been difficult of solution. While there
| is a large amount of the known, in con-
nection with it's business, the unknown
factors that occur to ones mind seem so
| numerous as TO discourage any attempt
at solution. Those engaged in the liquor
| traffic fully realize that it might not be
| to their interests to be very open in re-
| gard to their affairs. Hence it often
proves thoroughly unsatisfactory to read
! the tabulated statistics tina: are often
carefully prepared for the purpose of eX-
posing the business as such. As busi-
ness it is very far reaching. Like other
| businesses, it affects the Individual the
! trades the home, and the whole CON-
munity, but its influence in these drec-
tions is not of the same character as
that of the other businesses Generally
speaking, it is so interviewer with af-
fairs governmental, through the neces-
sity for police stations, jails, insane asy-
lums, houses for correction and reform,
lying-in hospitals, houses of ill-fame, in
ebriate asylums, aims houses, and other
similar institutions, that, as far as. its
effects are concerned, it becomes exceed
ingly difficult. if not impossible, accurate
ly to measure and state its responsibility
To one attempting it, it frequently be-
comes necessary TO supp V some missing
link in the chain of evidence by the in
sertior Of som ,thirg Oh the estimated
basis, and then its value becomes impair
ed. While in a court of law, inquiry on
a purely hypothetical basis is permissi-
BILE, together with inferential reasoning
therefrom, yet We have found from prac-
teal experience, that the most carefully
prepared and conservative estimates Oft
en- prove unreliable and satisfactory.
1t is therefore our purpose in this paper
to avoid estimates, and present estab-
lished facts.
Our subject naturally divides itself into
two departments.
First-"Our Liquor Problem" with en- |
phasis upon the "Our." We take it that |
this affords opportunity briefly to devel- |
op, or state. our local situation, both as /
% increasing and decreasing conditions.
.Second-"From a Business Point of |
View" Here, we understand, we are
to present the view that may
be taken from the standpoint
If general business
Our local conditions may best be shown
rom latest official reports as follows:
1. Increase in observation-disclosures
Annual for 1902 reports custom house

The total of As (of 1900 divided by the
total IS (of 1886, for Honolulu, shows the
larger number to contain the smaller two
and two-thirds times, or an increase in
the five years of 166 per cent.
Again divide the total IS, for all the
group in 1901 by g. the total in 1896. and
we find that the larger number contains
the smaller three and six-sevenths times,
or an increase of nearly 2S3 per cent.
But taking the other Islands alone, the
total of 40 for 1901 divided by the total s,
of 1896, and the larger number contains
the smaller eight times. or an increase of
200 per cent in the five years.
Recently in conversation the Collector
of Customs unofficially remarked that
the increase in the importations of liq-
uors is not keeping pace with the in
crease in our population" In view of,
this statement would it then be fair to
ask: Can it rightly be regarded that
the large increase in number of saloons
is in order 10 keep pace with the increas-
ing thirst Of former consumers?"
Were we to attempt to show the bust
ness end of the liquor traffic to our Ter
riorial government. we would on the one
side state the income to be:
81 Licenses to wholesalers and
dealers at $500 .....-..-.....-.. $4,000 90
IS Licenses to spirits retailers at
1900 -..:....-.......... $4,000 90
80 Licenses of beer and wine, beer
and ale dealers at $3.50 .-...... 1850 90
1 License to brewery at $50 go. $50 90
121 Licenses at a total income of s66,65o 90
And on the disbursements side must be
placed the expense that comes through
the police and police stations, jails and
jail keepers, courts and employees all
necessary to provide for the thousands
of cases of drunkenness. officially re-
ported by the Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court. Also must be considered
the expense in prosecuting the hundreds
of cases of Illicit manufacture and sale
in protection of the licensed ones. 1t
must be remembered, in this connection.
that whatever of duties are collected
from imported liquors now goes to the
Federal government. Hence, we believe
we may legitimately infer that from our
local government point of view. there is
not only no benefit derived from the liq-
uor business, but instead. the balance is
the other way, viz, deficit.

BUSINESS MEMS MEETING.

The discussion of the saloon question
in Castle & Cookies Assembly hall at 4
O'Clock was along practical lines sug-
gested by business men. The hall was
comfortably filed with well-known peo-
pie interested in church and philan-
thropic and temperance work. F. j.
Lowrey of the firm of Levers & Cooke,
presided at the meeting. One of the
most important addresses was that
made by Governor Dole, in which the
position of the government was clearly
stated. w. A Bowen read a paper on
the saloon from a business standpoint;
Z. W. Campbell presented a carefully
prepared paper on heredity as related
to the drink habit. the meeting con-
Guiding with a paper prepared by War

Statistics and Experiences
Chairman Lowrey opened the meet
ing with a few remarks relative to the
saloon question and what action would
be taken in the future regarding il. He
said the employers of labor were anx-
ious TO know what action would be ia
ken, and it was his earnest hope that
the campaign of temperance education
would result in legislative and execu-
tive action to restrict it.
GOVERNOR DOLE HEARD.
Governor Dole said in part: 81 some
times feel in thinking over the liquor
question and of the earnest work OF
the temperance reformers and of their
knowledge of the injury which liquor
does to men, and the indirect injury
which it does to women and children.

the 30l difference between the total o.

| ing three or four payments of specia
| tax from one saloon, where changes In

| Each known change, or addition of new
blood in ownership, requires full payment
| of the annual tax, without regard to the
! fact that that place may have previously
paid its special tax, or that there is but
| a small portion of the year left.
As a warning note to our sugar 2Sea-
| cies, it may not be out of place to state
that purchasers of say alcohol for plan
tation requirements may subject them to
the special tax to the Federal govern
ment under the classification of liquor
dealers. 1t depends upon two things-1st,
the quantity, and End, the way 1T Is
bought, billed and booked. Safety in
avoiding classification as liquor dealer
would require that it be bought in the
name of the plantation, as agents for

ing. While it is true that the number of
those paying a dealers special tax is in
creased in the way described, it may no
doubt also be true that the strictness of
internal revenue laws does in fact dis
cover places of liquor selling not requir-
ine. license under Territorial law.
4.-Increase in Drunkenness. From the
latest published official report of the Su-
preme Court for the five years to Janu-
airy 1st, 1901, we extract as follows:
There were zoos cases of drunkenness in
1867: 2,192 in 1883, and 2.2S1 in 1900, and
in these cases there were 1852 convictions
in 1867, 2.07S in 1889, and 2,1S3 in 1900.
There were more cases of drunkenness
during the one year 1900 than during Ell
Their of the two preceding biennial periods
AN increase of more than 100 per cent.
The convictions for drunkenness in Homo |
ulu alone numbered 1,S45. There is very
little drunkenness among the Portuguese |
md Asatics. About nine-tenths of it. |
including all the enormous increase of |
900, is among the Hawaiians and other |
aces. BY nationalities. the convictions |
# drunkenness are divided as follows:

Totals ..... s125197 90 s14S092 90 s2732S9 90
The increase of the second six months
over the first six and one-half months
cannot be regarded as large, and is most
ly in wines. But it would appear as If
the total, s273, 2S9OO, was a large sum for
our small island community in a year of
time. This is, of course, in addition to all
the beer produced by the brewery in the
same time.
2Increase in Licensed Saloons. AS
we prepare this paper we have before us
a complete list of licenses granted for
wholesale and retail spirit, wine, beer. ale
and malt businesses established through
out our Islands. Dates of license, names
of persons to whom granted, names OF
saloons and addresses are all given. 1t
was obtained by the recent superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, the Rev.
L. NJ. Hartley. We understand it to
be from the governmental records. 1t

ed saloon situations as follows:
