JAPs MUST Pay DUTY ON FISH
CONTINUED from page l,


As yet no action has been taken for
the collection of duty upon fish brought
in by aliens, and I shall first secure the
advice of the United States Attorney.
courts of my right to collect this duty,
and j wish to be certain before going
ahead. My opinion Is however that
under the ruling of the department
fishermen not American citizens must
pay one cent per pound upon fish
brought into the islands"
Mr.. Breckons when questioned as to
his view in the matter, yesterday. said
that Collector Stackable had not as
yet referred the letter to him, though
he had seen the ruling of the depart
ment. He was of the opinion that duty
should be collected upon fish brought
here by aliens, though he was not pre-
pared to express a positive opinion I'M
til after looking up the authorities. He
said. however. that fish caught in
American waters in order to be entitled
OF exemption from duty must be caught
in American vessels, and to have such
standing, the fishing boat must be own
ed by an American citizen.
Not only would the enforcement of
the law regarding alien fishermen have
an important bearing IN Honolulu, but
it would be of even more serious i'm
port upon some of the other islands.
Fish could be brought into the islands
only through regular ports Of entry, or
after having first passed the customs
authorities, at some such port of entry.
Fishermen, not American citizens,
could not land Unfortunately at any
place upon the islands, and to bring
fish ashore at other than ports of en-
try would be smuggling within the
meaning of the law.
Probably of most importance in the
enforcement of the Jaw, would be it's
effect upon the supply. of fish. The
duty of one cent per pound upon fish
caught by japanese, who furnish the
great bulk Of Honolulu's fish supply,
would naturally result in a correspond
ing increase in the price to the con-
sumner. for the Jap would require the
purchaser to pay duty imposed upon
him. and also for the additional ex-
pense and trouble he must go to in or
der to comply with the regulations of
the Treasury Depar, ment.
1t would on the other hand greatly
stimulate the sctivity of American
fishermen for the discrimination in
their favor will equal the Oriental S
cheaper mode of living, and other
points now aiding them to maintain a
monopoly OF the business.
Bray the man who first raised the
question, has left town, having been
unable to successfully fight the Orien-
tai fishermen, and he will therefore
not be able to derive any benefit from
the departmental ruling.

THE FISHER ES RULING,

The ruling of the Treasury Depart
nent in the local fisheries case Will, II
sustained by the courts, put the bust
ness of fishing here into other hands
than those which now control 1t.
The local supply of fish comes chiefly
from Orlentals whose junks spread
their lights along the reef every night
when the weather permits. They have
forced the natives and the white men
out of the business. The last white
man who tried to compete with them
Captain Bray-left the country between
sunset and sunrise, victim of the ORR
entail trust.
While the Chinese and japanese could
pay the duty of a cent n pound which
the Treasury ruling imposes, IL that
We're all. and still keep their monopoly.
the additional expense and delay of en-
tering their catches at the Custom
House must, under competition, force
them out Of the trade. The way is
opening, therefore, for the return Of
Hawaians to the fishing industry and
Tor the organization, both by them
selves and white men, OF productive
hshing corporations.

GOOD THEN; why NOT NOW?

The discovery by the Home Rulers
that the Republican party has always
been hostile TO Hawaiians contrasts
rather sharply with their other discov-
cry of two years ago that 1t was the
party they ought to join.
When Wilcox asked his party to call
themselves Home Rule Republicans he
explained that the Republican party
was the one which gave the Hawaiians
their franchise and would be most In
strumental for good in their cehalf
Even now the platform he is running
on commends President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration, thanks the Republican
Congress for giving Hawaii "a Just APP
portionment' and credits the Executive
and the chiefs OF Departments with co.
operation with the Home Rule Repub-
llcan Delegate. To turn from ali this
ana denounce the Republican party as
the enemy OF Hawaii is TO square the
circle or inconsistency. IL the Republi-
can party was good enough for Hawaii
When the present Home Rule platform
was framed, month or so ago, II 10
good enough for Hawaii yet. IL II was
good enough In the last Congress for
an Hawaiian Delegate TO act with, ID
may be safely trusted by another Ha-
wallan In the next Congress.

POLITICAL FIDELITY.

II the Democrats accept wilcox they
will not get n Democrat but a Home
Ruler; and this irrespective OF what
platform they may give the candidate
to stand on. The political theory upon
which Wilcox acts Is to use parties as
means to an end and that end the per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT of himself. Elect
ed to a Republican Congress he insist
ed on adding the name of that party
to the titles of his own but when
something led him to suppose that the
next Congress might be Democratic he
wiped off the Republican label and left
himself in shape to be called Democat-
ic in case the political complexion OF
the House should change. Nevertheless,
as way of bridging the gulf between
him and the old camp, he had the
Home Rulers adopt platform plank
pledging their loyal support to the ad-
ministration. Should the Democrats
control the next House, Wilcox. If elect
ed. will be one of them for the time
being: IL not and he finds 1t in any
way to his interest to act with the 9TH
er side, he will train with the Republi-
cans, pointing to the platform plank as
a guarantee Of good faith. Neither side
can depend on him. His politics Is
bounded like one OF the old Spanish
grants-by wild hog on the north, a
swarm of bees at the south, by the
weather on the east and by the pot at
the end of the rainbow on the west
the amplitude being great and the sur
yey uncertain.
Tie Prince, on the other hand, I'M
equivocally enrolled himself as a Re
publican before his nomination. There
was no Endorsement OF Kuokoa can
didate, the Kuokoas not having nom
mated, nor even yet reached decision
as to their course. They are not even
an organized political body. They were
and are n political club. If the Prince
is elected he will be party
man, irrespective Of where the House
stands politically. This is but one Of
the differences between him and Will
cox which rebounds to his personal
credit but 1t is one of great Importance
IN "A government which is controlled by
parties.

THE REPUBLICAN LEADER.

That Prince Cupid would be able to
help Hawaii in a material way at
Washington may be inferred from his
character and the use he would make
of his opportunities.
He is a man of sound judgment and
good ideas; and nothing could avert
him, least of all private opportunities,
from doing his duty by the Territory.
Such a man commands the good will
and support of his associates and of
the party with which he acts,
Power in Congress is gained in sew
eral ways-by honesty and zeal; by So
cial methods and by membership in a
national party. The social side is very
important in that il enables a new
member to get wide and notable ac-
Guaintance among the men upon whose
aid he must depend in passing bills We
venture the prediction that the enter
tainments which the Prince and Prin-
cess would give in Washington could
hot fail to clear the way for him in
the House and give him chance to
impress the Departments with the
needs of Hawaii. And when public
business called him to the front, he
could be depended on to act sensibly
and effectively.
In short. the Republican party has
hot only found good candidate in the
Prince but the Territory would ind Il
useful Delegate.

AMERICAN HOLDINGS Of
CUBAN SUGAR LANDS

Washington, June Truman G..
Palmer of Chicago continued his state.
ment on the subject of American hold.
lngs of sugar lands in Cuba before the
Senate Cuban Committee.
Summarizing the entire presentation
he placed the number of Cuban es.
tates held by Americans, individual
and corporate, at ii2, with a total
acreage Of ownership amounting to
81, 4S2,S0l. OF which 330,S46 acres are
cane producing. The annual cane ca.
paclty of this land he placed at $50 ,445
tons, but he said that the lands were
not producing to their full capacity
and some of them not at all. These
American ownerships have war claims
against the United States amounting
in the aggregate to $4l,335.S03
Some OF the American factories for
which claims for damages have been
presented" he said, "undoubtedl,
have not been rebuilt, but neither the
Spaniards nor the insurgents coult
have destroyed the land which was IN
cane. The cane undoubtedly was dc
stroyed, but the land must be in better
condition to grow cane after years OF
idleness than II was several years ago
when Cuba produced over million
tons Of sugar per season.
Whatever additional scaling down
may De done on the statements sub
mitted on the basis of inaccuracies OF
misstatements on the part OF the
claimants for damages, the fact must
be patent that the holdings by Ameri
can cii2ens of land in Cuba which IL
or has been in cultivation are OF suffi
Cient area to produce as great CroT
as the entire island turned out this
year, and this Is less than onefourtl
lof the total area owned by American
CITIZENS and corporations"
In this connection Palmer said there
were other large acreages of Cuban
lands owned by outsiders which he
mad not included in his list. In thi,
excluded list he referred to the $50. 90,
acres OF land which Sir William Var
Horne had informed the committee h,
had come INTO the possession of.
The Cancellation Committee, repre-
senting the beet sugar Senators, hel,
its second meeting with the Republi
can members of the Senate Committe,
on Cuban Relations today. The effor
to reach an understanding on the Gu
ban reciprocity bill was continued, bu
no agreement was arrived at. III
positive announcement was made aft
er the conference that the difference
are now no nearer adjustment than be
fore the first conference was held.

Davis, who resigned as assistant Sec
