CONKLING AND HEMENWAY ARE
INTERVIEWED IN WASHINGTON
ANO TALK ABOUT THE ISLANDS

ed to this country, the islands have
paid into the United States Treasury
in customs duties alone nearly $751;
100000. The whole state of Wash
ington, with its great cities of Seattle
and Tacoma, has paid into the Golfers
of Uncle Sam only $4,000 more in
customs than the Hawaiian Islands.
Last year Hawaii paid into the
Federal Treasury duties and taxes
amounting to $1,772,S69, according to
a report made by Secretary Mac
Veagh. This is more than was paid
by Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, Delaware, South Caro-.
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Iowa, Colorado, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho, Wisconsin, Kansas, and other
states and New Mexico, Arizona
Alaska, Porto Rico, or the Philip
pines. In 1910 Hawaii ranked thir'
teenth in the collection of customs
being excelled only by New York
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Florida, Louisiana, Ohio, Michi
gan, Illinois, Missouri, California and
Washington.
"The sources of revenue in Hawaii
are similar to those of any Of the
states. Customs duties form large
part of this revenue. The corpora
ton tax produced last year $124,0O0
in Hawaii, and this year it will reach
several thousand more. These fig,
ures merely go to show the import
ance of the Hawaiian Islands to this
country, and their value compared
with the other insular possessions OF
the United States"

persons in the East know so little
about Hawaii" remarked Territorial
Treasurer David L. Conkling of Ho-
nolulu, who has been a recent visi-
tor to the United States national cap
itol. There is an erroneous impress
sion in many places" continued Mr.
Conkling, that Hawaii is only one
island, when, as a matter of fact,
there are eight islands in the group,
Hawaii is the largest of the group,
but Honolulu, the capital, is on the
Island of Oahu. Hawaii is growing
at a rapid rate, and Honolulu is
spreading into big city Its area
now extends several miles beyond
what it was a few years ago.
There is no part of the United
States that has better, if as good,
roads than Hawaii" said this enthus-
iastic Hawaiian booster. There are
probably 500 miles of belt roads in
the Islands, and they are the finest
highways, better in many instances
than the streets of some of the cities
in this country. These roads are of
macadam construction, built of crush
ed lava Recently we have been oil
ing the roads, and find that this has
a good effect, making them almost
as solid as asphalt streets, the oil
carrying off the water without TAX
ing any of the road bed with it. The
heavy rains, of course, have been one
of the most destructive factors in our
road problem. The attention we have
given to the improvement of our
roads has been profitable, for the
knowledge that there are good roads
in Hawaii has induced hundreds of
persons to visit the Islands for their
vacations, taking along their automo-
biles. 1t is cheaper to ship machines
from the Pacific coast than it is to
hire them in Honolulu, costing less
than $50 for each machine
