Other Cabinet Officers.

There Is great official interest in the
new Attorney General, Mr. Wickers-
ham, because he will be one of the
most important of Cabinet officers dur
ing the next four years, and also be-
cause as public official he is an un-
known quantity in Washington. He
was the first of the Cabinet to be sworn
in, and, in fact, took the oath on Fri
day, after the Inauguration, the day
before most of his colleagues took the
oath.
President Taft intends to place great
reliance upon Mr.. Wickersham in out
lining the policy to be followed toward
the trusts and corporations. He has
said recently that he does not propose
to make special the libel suits in the
name of the Government which Presi-
dent Roosevelt pressed with great zeal
but that he would regard them simpIy
as cases before the Department of JUS
tlce, like many other cases there Mr.
Wickersham will probably have as
much important business to bring to
the Cabinet table as any other of Mr.
Taft's advisers.
Mr.. Frank MacVeagh, of Chicago, was
the last Cabinet officer to be selected,
and probably will be the last to be
sworn In. There is an interesting story
IN inside circles as to the care whL:h
MI. Taft exercised in selecting this Cab
met officer. who has great financial
problems to tackle during the next year
or two. As Mr.. MacVeagh in his De-
partment Will have much to do with
questions OF Government revenues up
on which Congress will be called to leg
islate. President Taft wanted the new
Secretary Of the Treasury to be accept

The Presidential Salary.

BY the agreement which was finally
reached President Taft will have a sal
airy of $4,000 year, or $6,250 a
month. 1t Is more than was ever paid
to any previous President in salary. But
Congress cut off the allowance of $685.
600 year for travelling expenses which
it has been giving to President Roose-
velt Mr.. Roosevelt did not spend all
of that amount for travelling, and 1t
will not cost Mr.. Taft, probably. half of

Therefore, all around, he gains some

day after Inauguration were the Re-
publicans of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who have as good as completed
their revision bill, upon which the fin
ishing touches are being put this week,
so that it will be ready for considera-
ton in the House next week, as soon
as the organization is perfected.
President Taft has prepared much of
his program for six or eight months.
Just as soon as the tariff bill is out of
the way he has promised to work out
recommendations for reform legisla-
ton in line with the Roosevelt politics
for the control of railroads and other
corporations. He has said within a
day or two, as demonstrating something
of his general purpose, that he wishes
to urge as few and as brief amend
ments to the Sherman antitrust law as
may be. He does not want to disturb
business by sweeping legislative
changes; neither does he want legisla-
ton SO sweeping that it will render
uselss a large body of judicial opinions
affecting the Interpretation of existing
laws. He will not encourage Congress
to touch any other general legislation
than that affecting the tariff at its ex-
ira session.

Secretary Knox.

secretary OF STATE hnOX, IKE nlOSl oI
his Cabinet colleagues, had happy
induction into office. Because of his
long Cabinet experience as Attorney
General under two different Presidents
he knew how to settle down to business
promptly as soon as he and most of
the other Cabinet officers had gone to
the White House Saturday morning,
and all taken the oath as administered
by Chief Justice Fuller.
The first man to congratulate Secre-
tary Knox was his prospective successor
in the Senate, George T. Oliver, of
Pittsburg. Mr.. divers appearance at
the State Department was the signal
for the fixing up of political differences
between him and Mr.. Knox, the latter
having favored the election of Repre-
sentative Jimmy" Burke, of Pitts
burg, for Senator. AS soon as the con-
gratulations were over Secretary Knox
and Mr.. Oliver talked Senatorial poll
tics for a few moments, and the Secre-
tary assured the prospective Senator of
support in winning the election, which
will take place at Harrisburg next
week. Mr.. Oliver had already virtual
ly won his fight. He afterward had a
talk with Representative Burke, in
which they settled their di ferences and
parted in political friendliness. This
done, Mr.. Oliver hurried back to Penn
sylvania, expecting to return here in

to take the oath as Senator forthwith
Secretary Knox has been dsappofnt-
ed because the Congress refused to au-
| thorize an Under Secretary or Vice
Secretary and also a Fourth Assistant
Secretary. He wanted those two Off
cials TO facilitate the work of the State
Department during his administration
there. The Senate voted the authority
for the two additional offices with alac-
rity but the House was stolItJv onposaI

GOVERNOR FRElR HAVING
FINE TIME On kauai

Governor Frear is having a fine time
tramping about over the pals, valleys
and plains of Kauai and does not ex-
peet to return until next Sunday, just
one day before the Congressman ar
rive.
A letter from the Governor, written
at HaIemanu last Thursday, was re-
ceived by Chief Clerk R. o. Matheson
yesterday, in which the Governor sta
ted that he would take the pail trip
the next day. He expected to meet
Superintendent Marston Campbell Fri
day evening at Wainiha and the party
would tramp along the pail coast.
The Governor expects to return to
Halemanu today and will spend several
days going about the island with n.y.
geographic experts Leighton and Men
denhall and Superintendent Campbell
on photographic business. The day the
letter was written he had spent on the
streams mauka of Halemanu.

given and the goods billed by the bust
ness house directly to the customer.
As initiating to some extent against
this view is the provision of section
1925 of the Revised Laws, that, Eek
cept as otherwise in this chapter pro-
vided, a license granted Hereunder
shall authorize the carrying oD of the
business licensed only at the place in
dicated in the license coupled with
the fact that the merchandise licenses
issued by the treasurer of the City and
County of Honolulu purport to author
ize the hcensee to do business in Homo
lulu only. On the other hand, there is
nothing in the statute itself which
limits the operation of a merchandise
license fo any one county, and, without
going into further detail, l state my
opinion to be that under all the circum-
stances the person soliciting the orders
is not required to take out merchan-
disc broker s license

Hilo Taking Odd Course.

Mr.. Dillingham; in speaking of the
matter said yesterday: "We have re-
ceived information of the arrest of a
number of representatives of local
firms for not securing licenses to solicit
orders on the island of Hawaii. Natur-
ally the local merchants are somewhat
at a loss to understand the reasons
for making such arrests without any
ir.timation first having been given to
their principals.
s'It would appear from the opinion
which has been rendered by the ats0r-
ney for the association that there is
gieat question as to whether or not
i Is necessary to secure license. As
the point has never been raised be
fore it seems exceedingly arbitrary to
take such action without first referring
the matter to the reputable concerns
of Honolulu whose representatives have
been arrested and taken before the
district magistrate. These firms GER
toin.y had no idea that there was any
violation OF the law as they continued
TO conduct their outside business as
they have always done in the past.
Association to Meet.
A meeting of the association Will
be called as soon as possible to take
this matter lii. 1t was thought best

the merchants in tomorrow morning s

understand it.

Yesterday sent to W. Il. Dillingham;,
vice president of the association, the
following letter:
Honolulu, T. H, Aug. %, 1909.
The Merchants Association. Honolulu.
Gentlemen: The question which has
been submitted to me is whether
drummer for local house which holds
a merchandise license who solicits or
ders for that house in another county
in this Territory is subject to the Mer-
chandise Brokers license under Sec
ton 141SF of Chapter 102 of the Re-
vised Laws of Hawaii.
The section referred to provides as
follows:
Merchandise Brokers.-Every per-
son, firm or corporation engaged in
the business of buying, selling, or
soliciting orders for goods, wares or
merchandise, either on commission as
broker, agent or salesman for either
the owner or eonsignee, shall pay an
annual license fee of One Hundred
Dollars. Provided, however, that this
section shall not apply to any per-
son, firm or corporation engaged SOLE
~ in interstate commerce or employed
solely by the United States.''
So far as / know the question has
not heretofore been raised, and it
might never have arisen but for the
enactment at the last session of the
Legislature of the law (Aet 151, Laws
of 1909 providing for the issuance
of licenses and the collection of license
fees by the county treasurers. And [
assume that it is by reason of that
enactment that the officials of Hawaii
county are now eontending that such
drummers are subject to the tax.
In my opinion the contention is I'M
sound. Chapter 102 of the Revised
Laws and the acts amendatOry thereof
are Territorial laws. The terms. condi-
tions and fees of the various licenses
thereby covered are and have ALWAYS
been prescribed entirely by the legis-
lature. The act of 1909 has made no
change in this respect, and the amend
ments providing for the issuance of the
licenses by the county treasurers do not
make the licenses merely county IL
censes. The provisions contained In
sections / and of the act of 1909
whereby it is provided that licenses
which authorize the lieensee to do bust
ness throughout the Territory shall be
signed and issued by the treasurer OF
the county in which the principal Office
of the licensee is situated, aid this view
And I believe that licenses for the sal,
of goods, wares and merchandise d,
operate throughout the Territory to tn
extent of authorizing the soliciting o
orders through representatives. Thi
ought to be clear where the credit j
