GOVERNOR
SINGLE?

There are all sorts of stories rum
ring around about politics, one Of
them to the effect that Bob ShingIe
will be the next Governor 1t is said
that the Wyoming Senators and the
rest of Wyoming folks are working
for him. There are some affirma-
tions and many denials; and, when
John Hughes asked Bob about it, the
latter was too busy to talk. 3
1t is said with some particularly
that McClellan's name was up for
Governor but that both sides went
against him. Mcclellan is credited
with having started the rumpus
about an agent" or commissioner
coming here.
Meanwhile Joe Cooke is taking
things coolly, looking wise and doing
a powerful lot of work towards maxi
ing tomoTow's primaries interesting.

ROAR OVER
PRICES OF
MAKIKI LOTS

A good deal of comment has been
occasioned in real estate circles by
the high valuation which has been
placed on the Makid Heights lots
which the Territorial government IS
about to open. The price in some
instances runs considerably over
$4,000 per acre, or about 20 cents per
square foot. Whether or not this
price will be asked, or whether there
will be certain residence and build
ing conditions imposed upon purchas-
ers which will be considered as equi-
valent to a part of the value, has not
yet been announced.
1t is understood that various real
estate lnen were advised with in ar
irving at this valuation, and there is
criticism being made on this account
some of it from real estate men.
In the past the real estate men have
been disposed to grumble when the
Territory placed on the market real
estate at nominal price, on the
ground that the government was in
terfering with private business and
disturbing values. No such kick can

Honolulu, April A. 1912.

Honolulu, April a, 1912.
Editor Star: l have no desire to get
into any newspaper controversy with
Mr.. II. Gooding Field, concerning his
report submitted to the Chamber of
Commerce as to municipal matters,
but as in the morning paper he still
insists on making comparisons be-
tween the legal work of the City and
County of Honolulu and that of Shell
by county and Memphis, in the state
of Tennessee, and still insists upon
making Misrepresentation as to the
legal machinery in Tennessee, his
comments call for brief reply.
The attitude of Mr.. Field is, that
the Tennessee prosecutor in Shelby
county, with the salaries of his office
less than the salaries of
mine, does considerably more work.
The department of j. n. Estes, who
IS described by Mr.. Field as attorney
general of Shelby county," has placed
upon it under the laws of the state
of Tennessee the duty of prosecuting
viola tions of the criminal law, in what
is designated as the Criminal Court"
According to Mr. Fields figures, the

SESSION STILL MOOT QUESTION

Governor Frear was asked this
morning if he had read the report Of
the sanitary commission. He replied
that he had not had time to do so, but
that he would read the bulky docu.
ment as soon as he could find time.
81 presume it is a very valuable re-
port" said the Governor, "but all l
know about it Is what Mr.. Carter stat
ed at the Commercial Club lunch. The
report appears to have been prepared
with conscientious effort, and hope
to read it with a great deal of inter
est"
When asked if there would be a
special session of the legislature, the
Governor said that nothing is decided

yet, and that it is impossible to tell
at present. There are many things
to consider, and this morning | have
been working on certain matters"
said the Governor.
In response to a question as to
whether there was anything in thu
Tumor that Gooding Field might go
through the bookkeeping system of
the Territory, the Governor said that
the Territorial government would
have no objection to the expert going
through the books.
Today being Good Friday, the Gov
ernor had but few callers. He was
therefore able to do some work with
out interruption.

Big Price on
Makiki Lots

Land matters are quiet just now,
but Commissioner Tucker is working
on lot of details in connection with
reports that he has to turn in to the
governor.
The Makiki lots that were adver-

price of the residential lots is a stag.

dollars an acre frightens people.
There have been inquiries about
the Aiea pineapple lots, and the indi-
cations are that they will all be taken
up rapidly.

THE. REVOLUTION IS BOOMING
CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA

T. M. Eliot, general secretary of the
Chinese Y, M. G. A. at Hongkong,
paid visit in Honolulu yesterday and
while here was the guest of Paul SUI
per, secretary of the local associa-
tion.
Mr.. Eliot, who is on his way to
the States, expressed himself as much
pleased with the work done by the
Honolulu Y. M. c. A. and incident
ally discussed what had been accom-
plished by the Young Mems Christian
Association in China.

Just what the Bristow amendment
to the Underwood free sugar bill is,
and how it was worked out, has been
a matter of much discussion and dis
agreement in local sugar circles dur
ing the past few days. The several
cable dispatches on the subject have
given but the barest outline of the
measure which may mean so much to
our chief industry.
The Washington special correspond
ents, not being familiar with the po-
lariscopic grading of sugar, missed
some of the important features of the
amendment. The Stars dispatch on
Wednesday was the only correct one

why" said one man this morning,
"the rate is higher than for almost
any residence property in the city.
Values along Wilder avenue, for in
stance, range about Is cents per foot,
or perhaps about $65OO per acre, and
it is about twice the price of property
on upper Nuuanu avenue. which from
residence standpoint should GER
tainly be worth as much as Makiki
lots"
'The government has let some real
estate men who have property of
their own to sell appraise those lots, -
was the way another man sized up
the situation. Sure, they would boost
them as high as they could, for their
own property will sell better by com
parison."
The lots in question are supposed
to be destined to be exceptionally
CLASSY" or fashionable" and the
high valuation is calculated to have
a tendency to maintain an exclusive
ness" which might not otherwise be
possible.

Under the heading of CITY and
County Treasurer" Fl. Gooding Field,
in his report to the chamber of com
merce, offers the following remarks:
Merchandise Licenses.
Section 141S G of Act SO of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1907, provided that an
annual fee to retail goods, wares and
merchandise" should be $500, which
was amended by Act 20 of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1911 to read that the
annual license should be based on the
gross receipts of the business so trans
acted, There have been delinquent
for such licenses since July 1st 1911
eight concerns doing business in the
City and County of Honolulu whose
refusal to pay the license, has been
made on the ground that they sell
services" and not goods, wares and
merchandise" within the meaning of
the act; these licenses amount to
5000. An attempt should be made by
the proper authorities to bring these
matters to an issue and collect the
outstanding liability.
Emergency Loans.
Under Act 146 of the Session Laws
of 1911, tax receipts will be paid over
to the city treasurer by the Terri
tory at periods of some six months
apart. The city and county, in order
to promptly meet its warrant Ha-
bilties, will be compelled, whenever
without available cash, to register it's
warrants. Since the passage of the
above act, the city treasurer has al |
ready been forced to take such ac-
tion. This official was able to arrange
for the registration of warrants to |
aggregate $4,000 with one local
bank, at the legal rate of per cent !
