LOCAL DISCRIMINATION.

While no doubt the explanation will
be made that there is subsidy paid for
mails carried between some of the above
ports, It does not appear reasonable that
1t should cost our travelling public So
per cent. more TO go to San Francisco
and return than it does passengers from
Sydney, in proportion to the service
rendered. Your Committee believes that
If the same relative rates were charged
to Honolulu as are now asked to Tahiti,
which would mean about 10000 for the
round trip, the increased travel to Ha-
wall would soon prove as profitable to
the local boat as the subsidy enjoyed on
the ah1t1 run. 1t may be concluded
that during the present excess of travel
to the mainland, and in view of the in
sufficient accommodation afforded by the
through steamers to carry it, If is use
less to look for relief on through boats,
or to expect concessions in rates from
them, and the matter at once becomes
a question of how to obtain another or
larger local vessel suitably fitted TO carry
passengers at rate of about 10000 for
the round trip.
If If Is correct. as your committee is
informed, that the Oceanic Steamship
Company have two available vessels laid
up now in San Francisco, and have fail
ed to attempt to relieve conditions here,
i would seem to be useless to approach
them for any decreased rates, yet it is
possible thai some inducements might
be made for them to favorably consider
such a proposal The only tangible in
ducement that can be offered is a guar
antee Of certain amount of freight both
ways If, however. a sufficient guaran-
tee Of freight can be obtained, why not
approach other companies who have a
single large vessel that can do the work?

Honolulu, June II, 1904.
! To the President and Members of the
Merchants Association:
Gentlemen: Your Committee, to
| whom was assigned the task of pre-
pairing some suggestions on the subject
of passenger rates between Honolulu
and the Pacific Coast of the United
States, submits the following, with a
full realization that there are many diff
culties in the way of its adoption, and
that strong antagonism and opposition
from influential sources will have to
be met before any radical change from
present rates can be secured.
Present conditions, SO far as passen-
ger travel is concerned, show clearly and
positively that no consideration is given
by the several Ocean Transportation
Companies, either from the standpoint
of probable expansion of their business
here or from any appreciation of the
needs of requirements of the people
of this Territory; on the contrary there
is every indication of mutual under
standing between these companies to
maintain the highest rates the traffic
will bear, and it is a peculiar fact that
at about the time the question Of tour
ist travel was being taken up for the
first time with any degree of concerted
effort, instead of supporting such pro-
posal and making some offer to render
assistance, either by advice or acceding
to the request made by this Association
through its repres entatives for some
modification of the fares then existing,
this particular time was chosen to make
an advance in round trip rates between
Honolulu and San Francisco, amount
ing to $1,000, or nearly 10 per cent.
Unfortunately for this community the
United States shipping laws serve only
to support and foster such extortion,
and in the absence of competition our

exception of one local boat, far too small
for the purpose, if moderate prices pre-
vailed, all steamers calling at this port
are through boats, having their terminus
either at Oriental points or in the Aus
tralian Colonies, and as a consequence
the trade they may or may not pick up
at Honolulu is a matter of more or less
indifference to them, or apparently so,
as they appear 10 be united in maintain
ing fares between Honolulu and San
Francisco for a round trip ranging be-
tween II per cent. and so per cent, high
er than between other ports in the Pa
cifc. The following statement, compiled
from the published schedule of the o. S.
s. Co., will substantiate this:

Francisco and Honolulu costs $I35.oo.

$o5, 100000 more than that Of the pre-

All reports have most reliable
foundation because Of the fact that
more than ordinary care has been
exercised in the gathering of the data
for the totals Several of the larger
counties have been estimated and re-
estimated until a truthful statement
of the crop was received. The grand
total of the crop thus represents a
careful and correct statement of the
work of agricultural interests for the
year.
Holden Given Credit.
To Professor Holden Is given q
great deal of credit for the great
work done. His lectures on the grow
ing of corn through the several por.
lions of the state were productive OF
the greatest good. and many farmers
were interested in corn culture as a
science rather THAI labor. This,to
gether with determined effort on the
part of the farmers of the state. has
resulted in the greatest crop in Its

spects for heavy public building ap

Conner, the Iowa member of the public
building committee. said last night
that he was quite hopeful Of an ap
preparation of about $S,000000 fol
this purpose. At the last meeting o
the public buildings committee o
the house it was determined to urge
a measure carrying something like
that sum.
While the pressure for the publi'
buildings bill is great, opposition o
the speaker may counterfeit it and il
addition the attitude of the senate II
regarded as hostile to a heavy public
buildings appropriation. In case abou
SS,O00,000 is allowed for this purpos'
