SALARY WARRANTS
ARE To De HELD UP

Thirty-odd salary warrants of terri
torial employees are to be held up this
month because the employees have not
paid their taxes. A statement to this
effect was made yesterday by Deputy
Auditor Meyers, who says he intends
to make a strenuous effort to make the
government IS servants help to pay
their own salaries.
Section 118 of the Revised Laws pro-
yides that sin case any officer, agent,
employee or other person in the public
service shall be isdebted to the Terri
tory, or to any of the departments
thereof, his salary or compensation
shall be withheld by the head of the
proper department, or the officer au-
thorized to settle his accounts, until
such Indebtedness shall be fully paid
and discharged. -
A copy of this section has been past
ed on the front of the counter in the
Auditor S office, and it is intended to
enforce it to the last letter. Only
about thirty warrants will be held up
at the end of this month, but there
will probably be more next month.
The Deputy Auditor says he hopes
that the example of the Territory in
trying to collect it's dues from its own
servants will be followed by the City
Fathers. The city and county benefits
equally with the Territory in the col
lection of taxes, as half the taxes go
to the Territory and half to the county.
The harsh insinuation has been made
that perhaps one reason why the SUI
pervisors show no great eagerness to
pay any attention to the repeated re-
quests by the territorial authorities
that they make their employees pay
taxes is that some of the Supervisors
themselves are sadly delinquent in the
payment of taxes. In this, however,
| they are not alone, as a large proper
| ton of the legislators at the time of
| the last session were found to be de-
linquent in payment of taxes. One
| member even went so far as to try his
| best to have the garnishee laws
abolished, but was unsuccessful.
| Those whole salary warrants are to
be held up viii probably appear in the
Auditor, office in great tribulation
i this afternoon or tomorrow and want
to know why. They will be referred
to the little notice pasted up in the
| Office.

Governors Figures Show Large
Increase in All Bank

The total amount of deposits in the

wall for the year 1908 on given date,
according to figures included in Gov

this total, the sum of $6,270,911.16 rep
resented commercial deposits and So
1922 27.79 savings deposits.
The figures of this portion of the re-
port, though formidable in a table, are
interesting when analysed. Governor
Frear gives, for instance, the average
and total deposits in savings banks, by
races, on date of June 3d. 1909. Of the
$4,000 japanese, gu had savings de-
posits, aggregating $S3, 637.01, an aver
age per person Of $124.60.
Of the $4,000 Chinese, SOC had depos-
its, aggregating 173,257.S2, an average
of $214.96. The Hawaiians were either
less thrifty or less fortunate, for of the
80, 700 of that nationality, although
tuele were 4oI0 oopoolCo, Lotd1lAS
5000, 418.22, the average per person was
but 1926. All others, estimated at
$4,000, had 1878 deposits, aggregating
1856, 514.74, an average of $359.17.
The Governor gives the total popula-
ton as $4,000, of which II ,474 had
savings bank deposits totaGng $685.
827.79, and averaging $2S9.61.
The increase in the commercial de-
| posits for 1908 over those for the same
date in 1907 was $1,256,933.65. The
increase in the savings bank deposits
| for 1908 over those for 1907 was $734,-
| 104.92, making total increase in all
| bank deposits for 1908 over 1907 of
| &c per cent.
