one tonight. This committee has been
doing some strenuous work of which
Hughes does not seem to know.
THE main points we are considering
are in relation to the percentage of di-
vision of the taxes with the counties,
the drafting of measure to bring the
waterworks systems under county con-
troll. the drawing up of a new liquor
law and amendments to the school law.
We have only just received the finan-
cial reports bearing on these things,
without which We were able to discuss
them in only tentative way. We are
finding that * is one thing to discuss
these general issues on the stump and
another thing to embody the reforms
we want into concrete statutes.
Take the liquor law, for instance. II
we insert the citizen clause We will
have a tremendous fight on our hands
from the big wholesale liquor firms and
importers. To fight it big fund could
be raised. If we don't put it in we are
going to have lots of grumhgings from
that the swinging doors of the saloons
should be done away with and inlme-
diately We were besieged by the saloon
men. This liquor law is something we
have promised in our platform and
something the people showed their de-
sire for by electing us.
THE question of putting the schools
under county control gets down to a
question of finances before you go into
it very far. How to adjust the appro-
priations equally is the question. A
percentage of the taxes enough to sup
port the Oahu schools would not be in
any way sufficient for those of Hawaii,
for Oahu pays so much more into the
treasury. The Oahu schools, on the
basis of their present salary list, cost
$4,000 a month to keep up. A percent
age of the total taxes of this county
necessary to yield that amount would,
if applied to any of the other Islands.
leave their schools in bad shape. And
it does not seem possible to provide for
a different percentage in each OF the |
several counties.
Then we are encountering Difficult |
ties regarding the division of taxes on |
the grounds suggested, namely to pay |
the counties in proportion to the /
raised in each. In the matter
of income tax, for instance, what are /
you going to do about the Inter-Island
steamship Company, which does not
,onfine itself to any one county?
These are the things We are work
ng at We know what the people want
md we are working to give it to them,
put we want to know just what We are
going against before we draft our
nea sures.''
What do you think of Mr.. Hughes
,hoice for the speakership?'' Mr.. Lone
vas asked.
TT isn't the speakership that is
us half as much just now as
he janitorships,'' said Mr.. Long. I'VE
lave more applications for those JOBS

CENSORSHIP
IN JAPAN
Its Ways Shown in Re-
cent Anti-American
Furry.

| When the first kilograms from Toxic
the japanese government and people
| at the exclusion of Japanese children
from San Francisco's schools, mention
was made of the part the Toxic news
papers were playing in tanning the an
ti-American sentiment. Later it was
cabled that the Toxic papers had
changed their tone. Here is good
illustration of the power of the Jap
anese censorship.
Probably the explanation of this sud
den change on the part of the Japan
ese press is simple-the same one in
deed that accounted for the sudden
smothering of the editorial voice or
protest after the treaty of Portsmouth
was signed last year. A little note
from the premier to all the editors or
Toxic, carried by a smiling and bow
ing gendarme and delivered with many
protestations of regard, doubtless
warned the Toxic newspaper heads
that further exploitation of the griev-
ance of Japan against San Francisco
would be displeasing to the government
and that regrettable measures would
follow if the warning was disregarded.
The incident serves to explain the
position held by the press in Japan.
The widest possible latitude seems to
be given the vernacular press, but the
closest surveillance and the hardest
repression is, as matter of fact, the
condition under which the papers are
allowed to exist. That smiling, bow
ing gendarme from the premier's office
with his little note of warning has al
ways to be considered.
The Japanese have deep regard for
the power of government. The only
serious uprising against the govern
ment that has occurred during the Meiji
era was that following the declaration
of the peace at Portsmouth. 1t was
quelled by the troops in three days.
Whatever is done by that small gov
erning group, the elder statesmen, IN
reality advisers of the emperor but
having no official place in the scheme
of government, is accepted implicitly
by the people as being the law. The
doings of parliament may be assaiied
with Western fervor and the actions
of the ministry may sometimes come
under public question; but never does
= Of ia older statesmen
clothed in the orders of the premier,
find acceptance in manner other than
that of blind obedience.
The papers in Japan somtimes thun- |
der against the parliamentarians. Edi- |
torials often depart from the decorous
in their tone and denounce the acts
Of some public officer or set of officers. /
But when that close circle about |
the person of the emperor speaks. not
even the yellowest journalistic dog
barks. 1t is dangerous.
The premier of Japan may at his
discretion and without appeal from his
mandate, suspend or conf1scate any /

foreigners Upon his orders local

court proceedings.
The arrest of an editor may be ac-
by the confiscation Of his

that confiscation is impending.
n this case the culprit is tried on a
riminal charge and fine or irnprfson-
