Five thousand miles in a single
stretch is the record for radio mes
sages established by the Poulsen
Wireless system. controlled in the
United States by the Federal Wireless

first made last Sunday night. when
the company station at Kaneohe
talked direct TO the great naval sta
ton erected by the company for the
government at Arlington. across the
Potomac River from Washington.
The story of the triumph of the new
system was sent abroad cast from
the San Francisco Office OF the COM

words:

MORE POLICEMEN
ARE NECESSARY
ASSERTS SHERIFF

There was a general demand for
more and still more men from the
police department and from the build
ing and plumbing inspector at the
meeting of the incoming board of sup
erVisors held last hight. Sheriff jar
rett was the man who pleaded hard
est for an increase of his department
He wants another detective sergeant
to keep watch at the police station
and at least four more men for his
detective force.
In speaking of the needs of his de-
partment the sheriff told the embrio
solonS that it is impossible for him
to meet all the calls made upon the
police force. He declared that fire.
quently he has found himself all alone
in the police station at night, all his
men on 1beat or out on calls and that
Under such circumstances emergencies
might arise which he would be pow
erless. to meet. He also asked for
more men to do patrol duty, declar-
ing that his present force is not near
ly sufficient. He also asked for a
scale clerk, to do Office work as we'll
He told the solons the job would pay
for itself -.
After listening to what the sheriff
had to say the next board Of super
visors told him to go way back and
sit down." or. words to that effect.
There is no money to do any of the
suggested improvements, and the po-
lice department must struggle along
as best it may until the eXchequer is
replenished.
Mr.. Miehlstein, the city building
and plumbing inspector told the eau
Gus that he must have another inspec-
tor to look after the plumbing work
of the city. At present, he said he is
so rushed that 1t is practically all he
can do to look after the building that
is going on in Honolulu. He asked
that his request be granted as soon
as possible after the board meets. He
was also put Off
But the real clash came when City
and County Auditor Bicknell appear
ed before the board-to-be. He object
ed to reducing his staff, saying that
there is plenty of work for all. To
this Supervisor-elect Pacheco replied
that the new board is contemplating

mum because of lack of cash This
in turn would reduce the amount of
work handled by the auditor and his
Office, and. he added would relieve Mr
Bicknell of the necessity of having as
many helpers as at present.
Bicknell could not see it that way
at all He said that a reduction of
the road work would not help him
any, and pointed out that he has been
accustomed to paying laborers by war
rants which necessitates a large !
amount of clerical work. This brought |
Pacheco to his feet. with a kick |
against the present system, and the !
assertion that IF the county had been +
run properly we should long since
have been able to get away from such :
which he proceeded to :
characterize as obsolete and eXpens-
i've
BickneD promised the caucus that !
he would watch his work and as soon
as possible would cut down his staff !
to the minimum, but that at present
his office is far behind and that he ,
needed all the help he has to catch up.

ASSESSOR DEALS
BLOW TO HOPES
OF Lower TAXES

Those good people of Honolulu who,
taking the statement from Tax Asses
sor Wilder published in the Star
the assessments on the sugar pianta-
tiers of the Territory would drop sew
cral millions of dollars during the
coming year. hoped that the real and
personal taxes of the city and county
be reduced also, will have to aban-
don their hopes and prepare them
selves to pay nthe same assessments
next year that they did this.
Speaking of his statement Mr. Wild
er said this morning. 1T is true that
the taxes on the plantations will prob
1bly be lower in 1913 than in 1912. as
] pointed out last week. But | see
no reason why this reduction sould
aUply to the real and personal prop.
clty in Honolulu, for instance.
"0f course if it. can be shown that
the drop in the stock market affecting
tie prices of sugar STOCKS was a per
manent drop and so had general at
feet throughout the Territory, lower
ing the value of all property, then

Two cents a pound, every bit Of land
in the territory would feel the effects
st once and the taxable value of prop
a ty would fall accordingly. AS it is
hnwever, there is nothing in the pres
cnt state of affairs to indicate that.
"Of course it Is true in a way that
drop in the market quotation of sug
ar stocks does not affect the real
value of the plantations. but it is also
tule that if this Office attempted to
ignore the market figures and pat an
assessment on the plantations COM
mensurate with the. actual value. the
plantations would simply come back
and fight us. And what are We to
