PIE AND PLEDGES
FOR SUPERVISORS
Great Sums viii Be at Their
Command to Practise Z
Economy With.

Nearly three-quarters of a million
dollars annually will be at the disposal
of the Democratic board of supervisors
during the next two years, to be ex-
pended for the good Of the City and
County of Honolulu.
Figures compiled by Territorial Treas
urer Conkling show that tho revenues
from taxes available will total $685., 4O2
per annum, and the receipts from other
sources, such as fines and licenses, viii,
it is estimated, bring the total up to
$4,000 yearly.
While the city fathers may expend
all Of this sum If they so desire, II is
possible for them, If they wish to give
an economical administration according
to their pledges, TO end each year with
a surplus and so warrant a reduction in
the tax rate at the expiration Of their
term Of Office.
The available fund provided for tho
new board from Territorial taxes IL
itemized as follows;
For current expenses, one-half
OF one per cent tax on the
real and personal property
valuation ........,,..... s4Os,427
For permanent improvements,
One-sixth of one peF cent on
the net real and personal
property valuation ......., l34,l7g
For maintenance Of public

"The receipts of internal revenue are
$4,000, 900 greater so far this fiscal year
than they were for the same period in
the last fiscal year" said Commissioner
Cabell Of that bureau, in Washington.

of the suggestions for new faees in the
old places, from which will probably
have to move the majority of the Off
cials, big and little. Representative
elect Julius Asch is also suggested as
high sheriff, to take which position he
would have to resign from his just.se-
cured seat in the house of representa-
-tiesv. His appointment would bring
both departments of the big house on
the reef under the Asch family wing.
There are quite number of Demo

will be abolished and some salaries re-
duced There is also a likelihood that
there may be curtailment of expenses
in the clerk 3 office. That there VIII
be wholesale 'remodeling of the per
sonnet of the road department as well
as of inspectors at the fshmarket goes
without question.
Chief Thurston of the fire depart
ment, 1T is expected, will retain his of
fee owing to his long experience and
the fact that his experience has some
thlng- to do with the vast amounts at
stake in public and private properties.
While there is report that John
Wilson is being considered for the po-
sition of engineer of the road depart
melt and even as superintendent of
public works, Mr.. Wilson will probably
not be-s candidate for either position,
as he has heavy roadbuilding contracts
at present which will require his per
sonM attention for the next year. He
has recently acquired about 100000 of
roadmaking equipment.
Just what will happen in connection
with Engineer Whitehouse and Road
Supervisor Caldwell is not altogether
certain, although there are some who
claim that Mr.. Caldwells department
was too largely in the hands of Char
ley Clark and was being used for Re-
publican campaign purposes. Caldwell
himself stuck faithfully to good road
building Engineer Whitehouse may be
given an opportunity to remain in Of

lions has yet been held.

Blind SENATOR
FOR CHAIRMAN
Gore Slated to Succeed Mecombs,
Should Latter be Forced to
Resign.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-It is current
gossip in Democratic political circles
that Senator Thomas P. Gore of Ok
lahoma, the blind statesman, will sue
ceed William F. McCombs as chair
man Of the Democratic national com.
mittee. Couples with the rumor
Is a companion story that
Mr.. McCombs will resign the chair
manship on account of the condition
Of his health.
Senator Gore is said to be on his
way to Chicago. Opinion here is that
if Mr.. McCombs should resign and
William s. McAdoo, of New York,
should persist In a determination not
to shoulder any more political duties,
the logical man for the chairman
ship is Senator Gore.
"The Oklahoma statesman may be
blind" was the gist of the argument,
but he can see further politically
than most Of the men of the party
who have two good eyes,"

Breton Woods, N. H., Sept. H.
That Attorney-General Wickersham
expects to see Wilson carry Maine on
the basis of the state election returns
was implied in his answer to a ques
tion here. The encouragement, who
was leaving for his home at Cedar
hurst, L, l., said:
II do not agree with the president
that the Maine returns were more re
assuring than those received from Yer
mont last week. To me the Vermont
returns imply Taft electors, while the
Maine situation has no such aspect
Il was of course immensely pleased
to see Maine return to the Republican
column, but was vastly more sorry
to see that harmony was not preserv.
ed after the victory.

Meat Markets.
About all these have been inspect

from good to practically no good at
all. Not one has sufficient screening
and fans to protect the meat thorough

ceiling fan over the door is necessary
for absolute protection from typhoid
flies. Two or three so-called markets
are being run in stores, with poor
screening and unprotected from dust.
The meat is being handled with other
goods and often by whoever happens
to be clerking without being dressed
in special suits as required by the
regulations.
