MUST INCREASE
APPROPRIATION
FOR MAHUkA LOT

Unless congress consents to make
an appropriation larger by about 800,
Oc0 than the sum at present authoriz-
ed by the Secretary Of the Treasury,
the Mahuka site cannot be purchased
for the location of the proposed fed.
eral building in Honolulu. This much
is made plain today with the testi-
mcny of valuation experts in the las
cf the Mahuka site condemnation
hearing, in the U. S. district court.
In the three hearings already held
jrries have decided that the owners
of the various portions Of the site
are entitled to and shall receive not
less than a total of $256.J69, 80. me
CT the Treasury authorized the dis
tr1ct attorney here to proceed to can
denim the Mahuka site and proceed TO
purchase it for a sum Of not more than
2350. 900.
Of this authorized sum only $685.
43018 will remain after the cases al
ready decided have been settled. The
last portion Of the site, however, still
remains. without value fixed by
court. 1t is the property occupied
by +, O. Hall & Son, said to be the
most valuable parcel Of the entire
lot. and the testimony OF Expert r. r.
Reidford this morning indicated that
the balance from the amount author
lied by the Secretary of the Treas
TRY will be greatly inadequate.
HeidfOrd declared this morning on
the witness stand that the present
value of the interest of the Austin
estate. which is the lessor of the
land and building, is worth today the
sum Of S155 900, in round figures, or
$156, ,069.85, in exact figures At Least
this is the conclusion he has reached
by mis- method of arriving at vaIua-
tiOnS
This does not include the value Of
the interest of +. O. Hall & Son, the
Iessees, which is not included in tn"
present hearing but will be determ-
inod in a suit coming later.
ReidfOrd figured that the exact
value of the building and land at the
corner OF King and Fort streets is

demnation suit was filed. December

other SIDE
OF PROSPERITY

Thanksgiving week found the ma
ton enjoying many reasons for a
genuine giving of thanks" says Henry
Clews of New York in his special let
ter of November 30 We have had
a period of exceptional prosperity; q
big and profitable harvest insuring its
continuance for at least another sea-
son. The stimulus thus obtained from
natures bounty is giving fresh life
to every channel of industry. Nor is
this all. Social and political discon-
tent are abating. and the country Is
ipromised rest from demagogues and
professional agitators. For this, too,
we must be profoundly thankful
so far as volume is concerned
business conditions in the United
States are eminently satisfactory.
Clearing house returns are running
ahead of last year at the rate of from
10 to IA per cent per week, the gains
being literally distributed in all parts
of the country, although the largest
percentage OF increase is usually
shown in the big crop growing states.
Railroad earnings are showing most
flattering results. In a number of in
stances our great systems have mani
tested surprisingly heavy gains in
gross returns; the result of course of
heavy traffic, stimulated by rich far-
vest. In the second week of No
vembeT thirty-seven roads reported an
increase of II per cent over last year,
and in previous weeks the gains have
been cOrrespOndingly good. Our for
eign trade returns have broken all
records, and the total for the year
promise 70 reach the huge sum Of 81
000, 900. 600. in the last ten months
new building operations have been es-
timated At 1921 ,00O,151. against $751;
0U0,0 two years ago. Many other in
stances could be added showing our
unprecedented business activity. but
these are sufficiently convincing.
There is another side to the &C
count, however. Mere activity is too
often mistaken for prosperity. The
increased cost OF living has become
quite as serious a matter Of business
life as in private life. Profits in many
cases show no such appreciable gain
as gross results, and in an increasing
number of cases profits are declining
and rapidly running toward the van
ishing point. This is strikingly illus
trated in railroad reports. which pre-
sent relatively poor net returns con-
idering the heavy. gains in gross.

The DAYls EABLE.

On a certain occasion, when several
rich men had gathered together to
have little game of poker, and when
they were in the midst of their hilar-
ity, poor man made his way into the
palatial library and stood before them
and cried out:
"Tis thus that the poor man be-
comes a worm of the dust under the
rich mans FOOT"
"Of what do you complain" asked
the man with a bob-tailed flush in his
hand.
- The rich man can play poker while
the poor man must turn to dominoes.
That is surely class distinction
ut does look like it," said the man
with two pairs. Has anyone any OBJ
lection to this poor man sitting i'm the
game?"
No one had, and he was taken in.
He had three dollars with which to
buy chips, but after three hands had
been played out he rose up and
walled:

me If that isn't class distinction

That the Presidents attitude toward
