In my opinion, conditions would
be far worse under the operation of
prohibition law than under the licens-
ing system. If the people do not want
saloons they can wipe them out under
the present law.
While was Deputy Sheriff on
Kauai during period of absolute pro-
hibition there were more arrests for
drunkenness than there have been under
the operation of the existing statute.
The Hawaiians would club together
and send for key Of wine, and when
they started in to drink they would not
be content until they had finished the
supply. 1t would be the same now
under prohibition law
The importation of liq uor cannot
be stopped, and the enactment of
prohibition law would practically
amount to class legislation.
Kauai is satisfied with the present
law, and | believe the voters will sup
port it.

POSTAL REVENUE
SHOWS INCREASE
G. P. Grandfield, First Assistant
Postmaster General, Sub-
mits Yearly Report
Urges Granting of 80 Days AM
nnal Leave to Carriers
and Clerks

WASHINGTON, Jan. As a busi-
ness institution the postoffice depart
ment, next to the United States treas
ury, is the greatest in the government.
According to figures submitted by
Charles p. Grandfield. first assistant
postmaster general. for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1909, made public today
in his annual report, the gross rev
enue of the postal service reached the
enormous total of s2os, ,5S2,SS3, an in
crease of s12.0S3,720, or 6.S1 per cent
over the preceding year.
There were 1.444 postoffices estab-
lished during the year and 2,004 were
discontinued, leaving a total of 60,144
postoffices in operation June 80. 1909.
Concerning the routine of his bureau
Grandf1eld says:
The retention of fourth class post
masters during satisfactory services
has become the established practice
of the department, and the policy of
recommending the reappointment of
presidential postmasters who have
proved efficient has been followed con-
sistently, with highly beneficial results.
There should be a maximum and
minimum salary for assistant post
masters fixed by law
Grandfield makes a strong argument
in favor of 30 days annual leave for
clerks and carriers in first class and
second class offices.
