NO HOLIDAY
TOMORROW

Good Friday is not a legal holiav OF
any other kind of a holiday for the
City and County employees This is
the dictum issued from the Office Of
Mayor Fern 1t was called to his at
tention that Governor Frear had given
permission to the heads of the various
Territorial departments to close their
offices tomorrow if they saw fit and
that the rule under Hustace had been
to give the same instructions to the
county officers On looking up the law,
however, it was found that the City
and County offices are required to be
open except on Sundays and legal holi-
days. Since Good Friday is not le-
gal holiday the City and County en-
ployes will work as usual.

tea and ship it to this city by the
first steamer, in order TO get it to
the United States before the new tariff
bill went into effect.
In the last fe wdays, however, the
plans have gone astray, with the ca
Diagrams from Washington which
states that the House of Representa-
tives has decided to leave tea on the
free list. The merchants who tried to
corner the tea market now find them
selves with an overstock on their
hands, for part of which they paid
higher than the market price, while
still more is on the way, the news or
the change of sentiment in the House
coming too late to allow countermand-
ing of the orders. The result is liza
BILE to be a slump in the price of tea
in which some of the Chinese mer-
chant may lose considerable money.
1t is understood that the same sit
uation prevails in San Francisco In
regard to tea, that exists here, and
that the premature announcement or
a prospective duty on tea caused
number of importers in that city to
buy heavily and sent prices booming.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-04-08

There is wailing and gnashing Of
teeth among the Chinese merchants of
the city, as the result of the recent
Congressional decision to allow tea
to enter the United States free of
duty. Fine schemes by which they
would make small fortunes through
the imposition of an eight or nine per
cent per pound duty on tea have drift
ed far away and the only remaining
thing to do is figure losses, which will,
however, be much smaller than the
anticipated profit.
No sooner did the news arrive by
cable that Congress was considering
the imposition of heavy duty on tea
than the local Chinese merchants
started to corner the supply on hand
in this city. All Leong is said to
have been the leader in the attempt
ed corner and to have made the lar
gest purchase. No sooner was his
motive discovered, however, than 9TH
ers came in on the game and in a
short time it was impossible to buy
tea at any reasonable price. In ad-
dition to this, so it is stated, orders

BY the departure Of the Mauna Kea
on Tuesday last Honolulu got rid of
one of it's undesirable characters in the
person of Lopez, the professional jail
breaker and all around bad man. His
escape from the Oahu Jail. which was
followed by a long term of freedoni
in which he kept the officers of Waia-
lua and Waianae busy with his num-
erous depredations, is well remember
ed here. Now he has returned to Hilo,
the scene of his first crime and the
Honolulu officers are breathing a long
sigh of relief What the Hilo police
will say when they receive Lopez in
their midst may be easily imagined.

unwise and eNtrayagant expenditure
of moneys, and are led TO believe that
all moneys requisite and necessary for
the internal Improvements of the va
riOus counties should be raised either
by the issuance of county bonds, or
an increase of the tax rate sufficient
to raise the necessary funds, the plan
of increasing the tax rate for sucn
purpose appeals to your committee,
especially if such extra tax is res
tricted to the purposes OF internal inn
provements, and is safeguarded
against squandering by means of sal
aries and other devious methods OF
wastefulness.
Under the present system of raising
revenue for internal improvements, a
general loan bill is an invitation for
the people Of each county to grab all
it can from the common pot. Theo-
retically it is wiser to make EACH
county responsible for its expendi-
lures and the payment OF its obliga-
tions. No one county or municipality
should be developed at the expense
of another; otherwise there is no In
Centive for any one community to
conduct its affairs along the lines Of
good business policy, when, Indirect
ly, it must share the burden of extra
vagance or incompetenoy of another
community which is run by incompe-
tents.
Under the proposed plan of coun-
ty taxation the provident counties will
not need to increase their taxes and
they should serve as arguments against
the extravagant tendencies of other
counties.
when all the land or property
holders of each county are directly
taxed for their county improvements,
inefficient and eXtravagant boards OF
supervisors will no longer be popu-
lar.
"Under loan bills the burden is not
personally felt by a large number of
our taxpayers as it will be under an
