BRITISH BUDGET SHOWS
RECORD IN SURF

LONDON, April 2--The British bud
get for 1928 was introduced by Da,
vid Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
eXchequer, in the house of commons
today.
The chancellor was in the comfort
able position of having a nest egg of
$32, 100000 remaining from last year
This, he said, was the largest realiz.
ed surplus on record. The loss to
revenue from the coal strike has been
upward of $2,OOO,OOO.
The estimated expenditure for the
fiscal year 1928 amounts to 1891,
G25,OOO, an increase of $2S,9O5, 900 over
that of last year. This is mainly
due to the compulsory insurance ACT
for workmen and the acquisition OF
all the telephones in the United
Kingdom by the state.

SCHEME FOR PLACARDS IN BANK
WINDOWS THAT DOES ITS PART

New York Sun: 1t now seems to
be a consensus among bankers, more
especially the small town bankers,
that good strong advertising placards
placed in the bank windows play a
judicious part in bank advertising.
While the idea is practically new in
this country its gradual arrival in con
nection with the growth Of advertising
generally throughout the United
States was not unexpected
Some few years ago a merchant in
a small Western town entered INTO
the banking business bringing VITA
HIM an advertising instinct which ne
had developed in his business. Before
that time the bank Of which he be-
came president had covered its large
front windows from top to bottom
with a black blind on which the name
of the bank was painted in large gold
letters. These letters were partial!
obscured by massive iron picket
work, although the large double door
entrance into the bank itself was not
SC guarded.
The merchants selling instinct re
belled against the waste of advertis-
ing space.
I'VE too are selling something, the
use of money" he reasoned with his
cashier. Basic selling principles are
largely the same whatever the com
modify. Why should we not make this
window help us get in more money
and help us find more people to use
our money!" he asked. 81 believe that
good sane window displays will pull

Why the city and county is saddled
with this burden it is difficult to under
stand. Judged from the standpoint
of economical administration, the up
keep of this park is, without doubt, a
very expensive matter. The acquisi-
ton, or opening up by the Territory of
additional property for park purposes,
if placed under the management Of
the Honolulu Park Commission, might
result in further costly service and
other charges being tackled on to the
city's growing liabilities. If this an
nual charge is allowed to stand against
the city and county, then the Park
Commission should considerably
scale down salaries: $500 a year at
least could reasonably be saved in
maintenance expenses.
Graphic Charts and Statistical Tables,
The graphic charts and statistical
tables submitted herewith, have a con-
siderable bearing on the inefflciency
of the present administration of the
| city and county of Honolulu
| As it was necessary to obtain con-
servative basis on which to make COM
parsons of the present cost of opera
| ton of the. various city's activities,
| the entries on the books of the city
! and County Auditor were analysed by
/ departments and by years from 1906
| to 1911, together with appropria-
tons for the year 1912, based on this
six months appropriation bill to June
80, 1912.
The graphic percentages in Exhibit
l"E" clearly show the gradual rise in
salaries for all departments since
1909 to the present date, at the eX,
ipense of the road maintenance de,
apartment. The general salaries APP
ipropriated for 1912 are fifty-two per
cent of the estimated total revenues
as against nine per cent for road main
tenance salaries for the period, max
ing a total percentage of tsiXty-one per
cent of the estimated total revenue to
be paid out in salaries alone for 1912
These percentages do not include that
portion for salaries which will be eX
pended from the 1912 appropriation
for permanent improvements, and
for all sources is estimated at 1925,
1900.
In 1906, it will be seen that the dis
bursements for road maintenance
were 41.6S per cent, and for road
construction, parks, etc. 1921 per cent
of total outlays. On a similar basis OF
comparison, the following percentages
are shown: In 1907, road mainten
ance, 3744 per cent; road construc
ton, park, etc, $50 per cent: In 1908
road maintenance 44.94 per cent; road
construction, parks etc, sos per cent:
in 1909, road maintenance, 1888 pei
cent; road construction, parks, etc.
7.35 per cent: In 1910, road mainten
ance, 34.39 per cent; road construc'
ton, parks, etc, S.O4 per cent in 1911,
road maintenance, 2717 per cent; road
construction, parks, etc, S.39 per cent
The percentages for 1912 cannot be
accurately given for the reason thai
the amount which will be set aside fol
road construction out of the 1912 ap
propriation for permanent improve
ments, estimated at $125,77O for al
classes of permanent improvements, is
unknown, 1t is clear, however, tina

eut of thirty men, will cost the city
and county to maintain for 1912 the
substantial sum of S22,92O. In 1906,
the cost was $14,497, since which time
the expense has been gradually in
creasing until it is now $50 per cent
higher than for 1906. Since the early
seventies, this band has been branch
Of the Territorial National Guard, the
instruments being the property of the
Territory.
The city and county has now been
asked to replace these instruments, by
the members of the band, which are
laid to have lost their usefulness
through age This request has met
with the approval of the board OF
supervisors, which will mean a further
depletion of the city exchequer OF
$500.
AS the services of the band are
frequently utilized for the edihcatior
or departing passengers and tourists
to the islands, and other functions
which are not always local in charact
er, the expenses of the band should
| be betrayed by subscription on the

Similar bands are maintained in other
cities, recognized as resorts, the total
expense of which is borne by public
subscription; it is acknowledged, at
such places, that the music is an in

lulu should no longer be called upon
to carry the whole of this heavy eX-
pense, as there are far more pressing
needs for the use of the public moneys
at the present time. A donation of, say
! $4,000 by the city and county a year
to such subscription list would more
/ than compensate for any material
/ benefits derived by the city from the
band. The cost of maintenance of this
/ band for one year alone, which is now
wholly betrayed by the city and
county would place the present equip
ment of the city's fire department on
motor basis; the efficiency of the
fire department is a vital necessity
whereas the maintaining of band is
a luxury.

A FORGERY CHARGE
BY SENATOR DIXON
Denies He Sent Telegram to
Roosevelt Appearing in
Washington Paper.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON, March 8.-For the
first time in the present heated cam
paign a charge of forgery was made
today. 1t came from Senator Dixon
of Montana, and was in reference to
a statement in the Washington Post
that Senator Dixon had telegraphed
Col. Roosevelt a boast over the action
taken on the arbitration treaty. In a
letter sent to John r. Mclean, pub.
Usher of the Post, Senator Dixon said !:
Il cannot conceive it possible that
you were cognizant or personally had
knowledge of the deliberate forgery
of telegram, purporting to have been
sent by me to Col. Roosevelt yester-
day. which was printed in this morn
ing's Post. On the front page, first
column of the Post in bold-faced,
double-leaded type, in discussing the
action of the senate yesterday, regard
ing the ratification of the arbitration
treaties, appeared the following:
Washington, March Z.
To Theodore Roosevelt,
New York.
The senate has ratified your con-
tention in regard to the treaties. Our
Democratic friends have come to our
rescue.
Joseph M. Dixon"
mo such telegram or any other
thing of similar import was sent by
me to Col. Roosevelt. / sent him a
brief wire, merely apprising him of the
T.
personal attitude of fairness, trust
that you will see the Post make proper
amends for this unwarranted action.
Yours Very Truly,
Joseph NJ. Dixon"
