Startling S atisiics

l. j. j. estimated by reliable sta
tics that each American saloon has
an average OF 80 customers, lO,OO0,-
O1J people steady drinkers, who
spend on an average Of 500 per
year for drink it amounts to total
OF ~ 600 600 GOO a wear
If each Of the 10000, 900 stop
drinking liqlor and buy one pair OF
shoes costing - 80 this would make
market Tor S25 900, 900 worth more
Of shoes.
If they buy each, a 81 80 dress
or pair Of trousers, costing total OF
s25, 900, 900, this would boom wool
en- goods.
If each should yearly consume
one more barrel Of -four than for
merly, al - per barrel, $50 600 600
more would be spent for flour.
One dollar more each year Tor use
iul literature would be 1900, 900,
AMI 81 50 each year FOR underwear
would be $4,000, coo, aud - 30

S25. .uOD 900 for heaiwear.
la the abjvs calculation we have
expended only Sl5 for each Of the
ten million drinkers, whose demand
for these useful e DDS would create
a supply without overproductIon.
They need the goods. This leaves
$50 each to be laid out for meat,
fuel, furniture, bedding and other
home comforts, costing SS5O,OOO,
600 more, all Of which is now paid
away for drink.
Now TO spend one billion dollars
for twenty Of the leading necessary
comforts Of life in production to the
amount Of each produced during
the last census taken, will make a
demand on the farmer by the man
uiacturer for S490, 900 900 worth OF
raw material.
The same money spent for liquors
requires only one fifth as much
from tie farmer; here is g-in OF
500 .O0O. 900 TO the farmer, which
at an average Of s39l-as per last
census produced by each farm year
ly-would give work to ,O24 Az
men on the farms.
To manufacture the raw material
would require 372, ,S36 MEN. But
to produce one billion dollars worth
Of liquor requires only 50,l19 men.

NEW BUILDING
FOR PUBLIC USES
THE LEGISLATURES WILL PROB
ABLY PROVIDE FOR AN ADD
TIONAL GOVERNMENT BUILD
ING.

The question of what quarters the
Senate shall occupy i'm the coming ses-
sion was the subject for "A meeting
which was called for this morning by
Senator Isenberg. The call was not
received in time by some of the sem
ators who are IN town and the meet
ing was not held at the hour stated.
Isenberg decided to send out another
call.
The Senate will probably decide to
make the best of whatever quarters can
be secured in the Capitol, without NOV
ing out the Public Works department
as was done for the last session. To
move Holloway's offices, now that new
fixtures have been placed i'm them,
would be a large and expensive job, and
the senators are disposed to put up
with inferior quarters rather than force
such a job to be carried out. Either
the upper hallway or the secretary's
office will very likely be fixed up for the
Senate session.
Provision is to be made during the
session for new government building
if some of the Oahu senators have
their way. This will be a building to
contain the various government de-
partments, leaving the Capitol TO the
executive and the Legislature. Some
of the members of the Legislature favor
having the building on the Capitol
grounds, while others would locate It
somewhere i'm the center of the city,
where it is more accessible to business
men.
"There should be a building in which
the various departments and their bu-
reaus can be kept together" said SEN
ator Isenberg this morning. "Superin-
tendent HOlloway's bureaus are scat
tered all over under the present ar
rangement, and it would save much
trouble if they were all i'm one place.
The same is true of the tax Office and
treasury department and the attorney
Generals offices should be i'm the Judi
ciary building"

DISAGREES
WITH ROTHWELL
LARRY DEE'S IDEAS AS TO HOW
TO REFORM THE TERRITORIAL
LIQUOR LAWS.

l.. II. Dee, the liquor man, expresses
his views of the license question as
much opposed to those of j. G. Roth
well of Peacock and Company. Dee
denies the charge that the beer saloons
all sell hard stuff, contrary to their
licenses and declares that one of the
great troubles of the liquor men is vio-
lation of their licenses by wholesale
men, who sell in retail quantities.
LAS to the violations by beer men,
said Dee, Il will say that i'm the Palace
saloon. of which l am manager, I do
not sell spirits of any kind, and stay
to the letter of the law. As for the
Protective Liquor Association the re-
tail liquor men are not members, but
we have an association of our own. 1
put it that the dealers have been i'm a
way making it hard for a retail man to
get along in as much as you can buy
six bottles of beer for one dollar or
bottle of whiskey much cheaper from
a dealer than full liquor licensed man
The six bottles of beer for one dollar
means $12 per barrel for which we pay
80. go leaving 80. so profit on 70 bottles.
SO much for the beer man.
"Now for the liquor man that is the
retailer. The jObbing house or dealer
as it is called you can go to and buy
single bottle much cheaper than you
can from the retail man who pays his
thousand dollars. ! see there is no
distinction made by Mr.. Rothwell be-
tween the retail and saloon license.
This would have a tendency to close up
the saloon i'm favor Of the jobber. Is
the retailer to be connected with the
iobber? If so, good-by saloon. If the
dealer can do the bottle act why not
take out a full license and be done with
it?
My idea of licenses is that the whole
saler and iubber stay as they are and
the letter of the law be carried out in
regards to the quantity they are allow
ed to sell under their license. The
license TO sell retail liquor i'm the isl
ands should re five hundred dollars
payable quarterly i'm advance. Say
1925 IN advance every three months,
and this license be granted to every
body with the exception of a man that
holds a retail or wholesale license"

STRIKE ON kauai.

LIHUE, December 12.-An abortive
strike of japanese occurred at Eleele
on the McBryde Plantation on We'd
nesday of last week. OPP Tuesday night
the representatives. of the cane cutters
went to Manager Stodart and demand
ed that he raise the price from Is TO 20
cents a ton for cane cutting. This he
refused to do and the man at once
started to form a union. Every Jap on
the Eleele side of the plantation was
warned to quit work, even the house
servants of the manager being includ-
ed. The strikers knew that It had
been intended to start grinding on
Wednesday and expected to use this
as "A lever. Stodart however promptly
put Chinese and Portuguese to work in
the mill and grinding pegan as arrang-
ed on the cane already cut. As the day
wore on the Japs began TO see that
they had no show ana they made over
lures TO accept 10 cents. This was also
refused. Finally the mill hands, who
receive better pay saw their Jobs van-
lshing and they counselled the field
hands TO go back TO work, refusing
further support This broke the back
OF the strike and on Thursday morning
the laps had concluded 10 be- good

OFFICE HOLDERS
MAY WITHDRAW
AGITATION FOR REORGANIZA-
TON OF REPUBLICAN PARTY
COMMITTEES CAUSES RESIGNA-
TION TALK.

As a result of the agitation started
by John Hughes and others to remove,
office holders from the Republican Cen
trial Committees, some of the commit
tee members who are i'm public office
have signified their willingness to drop
the political positions they hold. Henry
Vida, chairman of the Fifth District
Committee, is one of those who has
apparently fallen in line with the sug-
gested new rule. Vida has expressed
himself as in favor of the proposition
of keeping office holders off the party
committees and ready to resign his
Craftsmanship without a contest.
There is little apparent opposition to
the new plan and so far none of the
office holders have come out with any
fight i'm favor of their remaining on the
committees. 1t is believed that they
will leave it generally to the other
members of the committees to decide
whether the rule shall be adopted or
not
The adoption of the rule will make a
lot Of vacancies in the Territorial and
District Committees. Under the rules
these vacancies viii have to be filled by
the remaining members of the commit
tee.
