SEVEN-CENT FARE
To PEARL HARBOR
Report Has 1t That 0. R. & L.
Is tO.Cut Rates and Move
Its Depot.

With the extension of the Oahu Rail
TO the Pearl Harbor reservation comes
the rumor that along with the 12-min-
ute service between town and the
Naval Station, there will also be a re-
duction in the passenger rate. In addi-
1 ssion there is another rumor that the
company viii bring its line further in
to town, across the Nuuanu bridge and
establish a passenger station close to
Nuuanu avenue.
As to the passenger rate it is said
that for the benefit of the navy yard
employees, officers and men, commuta-
tion tickets will be sold and by this
means the rate will be brought down
as low as seven or eight cents for the
single trip, either way.
This may mean that the Oahu Rail-
way company means to fight for its
passenger business in view of the pro-
posed competition of the Rapid Transit
company which announces that it will
build a track from it's present Fort
Shafter terminus direct to the navy
yard. equipping the system with the
finest rolling stock.
The only traek-laying work neees-
sary for the o. R. & l.. Co., to do is
TO lay a spur from the main line to
the reservation, or about 700 or 800
feet. The Rapid Transit company will
have to lay an entire new track upon
a newly built roadway from town to
the reservation.
1t is also within the realm of possibil-
ity that the railroad company may
parallel their steam system with an
electric one as far as the new navy
yard, if the competition demands more
frequent runs than the steam trains
can make. Such an undertaking would
not be a great task; the right-of-way
is secured and surveys made and build
ing material could be dumped without
trouble and a minimum of expense at
any point desired.

TARIFF THE

Other Legislation Put in the

WASHINGTON, November 3O.-Tar-
iff! tariff! tariff! Congressman are in
town. More are coming by almost
every train. Meet them and talk with
them at the Capitol; in the corridors
or IN the committee rooms. They want
to talk about nothing but tariff-tariff
and schedules, revising up or down,
mum.
In the departments, at the desks of
the "big-uns," the same words and
phrases well forth in the conversation.
Tariff! tariff! 1t supp1ants other
themes. The city is full of visitors.
The hotels are reaping harvest. The
visitors, too, talk of tariff and sched-
ules.
All this at first glance might seem
passing strange. The Congressman are
not coming to town to revise the tariff

sion, at which a billion dollars in ap-
preparations must be voted One would

And at present all the legislative at

the framing of the tariff bill. The
Ways and Means Committee is in daily
session, taking up schedule after sched

ducting keen cross-examinations, re-
viving the controversies between the
advocates of high protection and low
tariffs, and fighting over the hundred
and one battles that are preliminary to
revision. Such legislation touches
in some degree the welfare of every
living person in the United States

that no one is mentioning the short ses-

siderable money will have to be spent

It is likely also that in the near
future one. and possibly two powerful
launches win be sent here for the army
quartermaster, for use in carrying lines
from the transports to the wharves, and
for carrying army officers out to arriv-
ing transports. There are many rea-
sons why such launches should be sta
toned here.

PLANTERS THREATENED
WITH CURSE OF GOD

'fStrike or be lazy" is the way the
editor of the Nippu Jiji advises his
countrymen in an editorial of last
Wednesday, translated for the Eng
lish editor of the Hawaii Shinpo yes
terday:
"Higher wages for the Japanese is
regarded as foregone conclusion with
our labOrers. They are believing that
1T is coming 'by the order of the Gov
ernment.' That is not so but it tends
to show how they believe in it. The
voice of the people is the voice of
Cod says a prOverb. Let us say
therefore that this demand for higher
wages is the voice of God.
eff the planters turn a deaf ear to
our opinion, which is an echo of the
voice of God, the curse of just God
will be upon them.
''But the laborers need not wait for
any curse of God that may fall upon
the planters. They have within their
power the way to revenge themselves.
If their just demand is denied to them
they can force it either by quitting
work or by working less. Strikes are
the weapon of labor and are iustified d
by President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft.
"'The editor. however, does not ad-
vice the laborers to resort to strikes
right away. for he says sit might be
equally detrimental to the interests of
Both employers and employees. He
adviees laborers to work less, until
better wages be paid by the planters.
He says: Japanese are paid only
third of the wages paid to Portuguese
and Porto Ricans and should net be
expected to do more than a third of
the work done by the other races. IF
the japanese work more they are
nothing but d-m fools -

A letter from President Roosevelt,

clared himself a lukewarm supporter
of women's suffrage, produced a good

posed the fact that Senator Foraker had been

the peace pact which had been patched up be-
tween Foraker and Taft was shattered, and
Foraker retired from the national campaign.
Hearst also accused Gov. Haskell, of Oklahoma
of being an agent of Standard OIL and that
