NO REFINERY ABOLISHED
BY THE SPREcKELS' ACT
(Continued from Page d. !

No refinery is going out of business
and the Crockett refinery, owned
largely. by the Hawaiian planters, will
have the same competition as ever to
meet - that of the Western Sugar Re-
filming Company's refinery. And the
fact that John d. and A. B. Spreckels
have filed the petition for dissolution
of the California company does not
necessarily imply that the Spreckels
are giving up their sugar-refining in
terests, although it was reported here
some time ago that they were desir-
Gus of drawing out of the business
All that the news amounts to is that
the California Sugar Refining Com
pany having been dead for some time
is now being quietly buried. E. D..
Tenney this morning succinctly
sketched to a Star-Bulletin reporter
the history of the company about be-
ing dissolved.
You will remember" said Mr.. Ten
ney, that back somewhere about 1890
the old American refinery in San
Francisco was bought by Claus Spree
kels, who organized the California SUI
gar Refinery Company, under which
the plant was operated. Afterward
Spreckels joined hands with the trust,
forming the Western Sugar Refining
Company. This company leased the
refinery from the California company,
this then becoming merely holding
company for its interest in the West
ern.
Some time ago the Spreekels
bought out the interest in the trust,
since when the trust has been out of
the refining business on the coast. AS
the Spreckels now own the Western
refinery, there is no need for the con-
tinuance of the California company.
That is all there is to the dissolution
of the California Sugar Refining Com
pany. 1t does not make particle of
difference to the sugar-refining bust
ness of the Pacific coast"

THE MILITARY RESERVE

No less military authority than Maj. Gen.
W. ii. Carter, U. s. A., has lent his formal in
dorsement to the creation of a new volunteer
force to provide the reserve that now seems to
be called for on all Sides Writing in the North
American Review, he takes up the question at
some length -
at is certain, he declares, ''that We must
increase the available national forces or de-
crease the necessity for widely-dispersed garri-
sons Our obligations in the Philippines, Ha-
waii, Panama. Porto Rico and Alaska, so far
as maintenance of garrisons is concerned may
be regarded as of indefinite duration. The
trouble in China may be regarded as an occa-
sional incident. The demands for troops along
the Mexican border are not likely to diminish.
After providing for these fixed obligations in
the way of garrisons, the number of regiments
of the mobile army remaining available is net
sufficient for an expeditionary force in any
probable campaign 1t is now positively deter
mined that the organized militia is not subject
to call in such contingency, and therefore some
method must be adopted to provide reserve
which may be modified even though war be not
formally declared. The necessities of the sit
uation demand a greater force than can pos
sibly be provided by extending the enlistment
for regulars to embrace period of reserve obi
CATION. There seems only one course open and
that involves the organization and maintenance
during peace of a considerable body of United
States volunteers separate and distinct from
the state militia and with others appointed by
the President as now provided by law. An ideal
arrangement would embrace in this volunteer
force the young and enthusiastic element of cit
izen soldiers, who later should pass into the mi
litia along with those whose family ties and obi
cations might prevent them from seeking serv-
ice other than in the state organizations.
~That the obligations of citizenship may be
fully recognized, the volunteer force should be
recruited in every congressional district, the
number allotted to each being as nearly in pro
norton to the whole force as may be prac-
ficable. having due regard to units of organiza-
ton. In this way no one locality may ever

tary obligations. Such troops would be subject
solely to the call of the President, and may very
properly be paid for attendance at drills and
camps Of instructions This volunteer force
would not be subject TO the antagonism some.
times displayed toward the National Guard and
militia by labor organizations. On the con-
trary, labor unions would probably encourage
their members in joining this war force if for
no other purpose than showing that antagonism
to the militia does not arise through lack of
patriotism The volunteer force would afford
field of usefulness to many now allied with
the National Guard, but would in no wise be
an obstacle to maintenance of the latter"

CRACKING THE CANAL NUT

The Panama canal question, which has
now resolved itself into the definite question Of
whether or not the United States should dis
criminate in favor of American vessels in charg-
ing canal tolls is beginning to upset diplomatic
equilibrium. 1t is a hard nut to crack.
Great Britain's earnest protests against such
have been lightly regarded by
some of the cornerstone statesmen in the House,
and as has been previously commented upon by
the Star Bulletin, the Democratic members of
congress are making a sorry spectacle of them
selves in dealing with the canal. They seem to
regard the opening and operation OF the great
waterway purely as a political matter
Senators Root and Burton speak on the sub
ject with the voice of authority. One of them
the foremost legal light of Congress and fully
conversant with international obligation, the
other grizzled veteran in Uncle Sans legisla-
ton affecting such matters they agree that the
United States should not discriminate in favor
of its own shipping
Submission of the controversy to The Hague
tribunal, while not beyond possibility, would
still be an unfortunate course to- pursue. The
United States, as has been well emphasized,
would be placed at an. immense disadvantage
by such action Not alone Great Britain, but
every maritime nation of the world would profit
hv decision i'm favor of a free canal to ships
of all flags If the matter should 60 to The
Hague, Judges would have to be chosen from
nations without maritime interests such as
Switzerland, and even if an impartial tribunal
could be obtained, it might not be technically
competent to settle the serious problems in
volyed The United States would be opposed
by such powerful princes of the sea as the Unit
ed Kingdom, Germany and France, all OF whom
would reap millions Of profit from "free". q ca
nal
Hawaii's interest in the canaltoll question
has hitherto been centered upon the fight to
give free passage to American ships whether
railroad-owned or not. This territory has gone
on record in favor of ian open door to the Pa
cific" for American vessels of all kinds.
The larger question is certainly one OF the
most momentOus before the world today In It's
bearing on future industrial and diplomatic re-
lations. It's settlement will be watched with
extreme interest the world over, and nowhere
more closely than in Hawaii, where the results
of the canal opening are already counted as tan
gble commercial assets.
