Honolulu Concerns Have Made
Fine Record in Handling
Large Funds

Although trust companies have ex-
listed in Honolulu since 1898 and have
successfully demonstrated their use
fulness, yet the average citizen has a
somewhat indefinite impression as to
the character of the service which
they offer, and the important place
they occupy in advancing financial IN
forests, of our community.
Because of the varied character OF
its functions. the trust company has
been styled "the most modern mechan-
ism in American financial develop
nent"; and as such it has become a
greater power in guarding the wealth
of individuals, as well as corpora.
lions. than any other class of financial
institutions.
Over Million
1t will surprise many familiar with
local affairs to state the fact that on
January / last, the combined capital
and surplus of the five trust COM
panies was $1,O42,93875. This large
sum represented the amount of wealth
which composed the assets OF these
companies, anu all of it is pledged by
them as security to protect the trusts
that have been confided to them. OF

confIdsnce 10 the SITUATION i

Justified
Z Many people refer to prospective
conditions, az compared with the days
OF 1900, when the bubble broke. There
is little II any similarity. Hawaii is
in astrong position today
In 1900. Hawaiis prosperity and ac-
tlvities were based wholly on futures,
and its ability to borrow money in
large sums from the mainland.
In 1900, Hawaii owed money by the
millions OF dollars to mainland in
vestors.
In 1900, Hawaii's plantation pros
perity was in a great many instances
based on hopes and assessable stock.
Bond issues to get the money for de.
,elopment schemes were the rule.
The whole community was in debt.
Under the circumstances the people
we're mighty fortunate to pull through
az well as they did.
in 1900, Hawaii'b chief asset was the
good name and splendid record Of its
business and industrial; leaders, men
eho risked everything because they
had confidence in the country and
their own ability to carry through
what they had set out to do.
In 1913 the threatened situation is

BY w. r. HARRINGTON.

Everyone is satisfied that Hawaii is
,:ue for spell of weather" and each
individual has his own idea of what
to do about it.
In this particular instance the rule
carrying the responsibility. of COM
manding the ships. represented in this
fase by the Industrial and financial
leaders-fits the situation exactly.
That signifies confidence in the GER
tainty of the eventual outcome.
There are lots of things for the
People with large means and small.
means to think about these days, in
looking out for themselves and CO.
operating for the common good.
1t is not good business to talk too
long and earnestly of what each one
should do II the ship goes OH the
rocks. That doesn't help.
I There isn't the slightest doubt that
free sugar will be a killing blight for
Hawaii's old time prosperity. No one
dares to suggest spots that might es-
cape the blight for fear that some
foolish congressman will seize upon
the expressions of good cheer and
think he has an argument to prove
that the wrecking of an industry won't
do very much harm. But we can't al
ways be thinking of how the other
fellow will twist what we say. And
the great question to answer, after all
is said and done, is, what WE are
going to do about 1t, rather than what
THEY are going to do to u.s.
Keep Right On
Hawaii must keep right on doing
business, though new lines of activity
may have to be opened. 1t cannot az
ford to be too pessimistic, and light
candles to see how dark it is. nor yet
too optimistic like the man who was
falling from the top OF a 20-story build
ing, and as he passed the sixth story
shouted, IT'S all right so far" Good
old fashioned Flooding, middle of the
road courage, confidence and deter
mination are needed

a great deal of outside capital to
these Islands, and to a large extent
is being financed on the mainland for
the moving of the crops. The Fed
eral government, through its erection
of permanent posts, is disbursing large
sums in monthly pay rolls and for
supplies. The tourists are being at
numbers, thus bringing in additional
money. The public utilities have in
creased their assets through earnings
and do not require large sums for ex-
pansion.
The curtailment of sugar dividends
will prove a hardship to many, but
the general prosperity of the past few

bad enough, out, dt the worst, three
years must elapse before Hawaii car
possibly approach the conditions OF
the memorable period of painful defa
ton.
In the first place the business and
financial establishments of Honolulu
which in 1900 had Borrowed to the
limit, have not only paid all Their
uebts but not a few of them have had
surplus credits in the financial eenters
of the mainland, and have been loan
ing money, too, on preferred mercan
tile securities. Hawaii in its relation
with the mainland 5 creditor com
munity rather than a debtor.
The plantations which were head,
over-heels in debts thirteen years ago
have in many instances paid much OF
their Indebtedness, some have paid
all, and, thanks to exceptional and I'm.
precedented conditions In the worlds
sugar markets, paid large amounts in
dividends as well.
Furthermore, Honolulu has more to
fell back on, aside from its well es.
tablished sugar plantations. than In
1900. The two million dollars year
pineapple industry can't possibly
take the place Of sugar, but 1t is
more than we had in 1900.
The tourist business is hardly past
the infant stage, but 1t was hardly In
embryo in 1900, and 1t is bound to be
permanent business asset of the
future.
The military and naval establish
ment of the national government was
rated as a dream in 1900. Now 1t Is
so much fact that the island of
Oahu will have a population of sail
ors and soldiers alone, large enough
TO guarantee a good-sized town. This
means business, and 1t Is particular
guarantee of real estate values =
which suffered a terrific slump in
1900-on the island of Oahu.
Consequently, when one sits down
to actually figure out the oft re-
marked possible similarity between
the days of 1900 and the days Of 1918,
the one reminds yon Of the other, be-
cause it is so dfffsrent,
The chief asset OF 1900 when every
one was pinched for money, was the
record of Hawaii's financial institu-
tions for integrity and conservative
methods.
This speaks for itself, but Is SO
much an every day affair that many
do not give 1t the weight which they
should in figuring out the situation"
This conservative and self reliant
character of the financial institutions
could not be put to a keener test than
it was during the days of the main
land panic of 1907 Hawaii was the
only place within hailing distance of
the American money centers that was
on a cash basis. This was no easy
thing to do, but it was DONE And
when the crisis came, it found the fl
nancial institutions with ample cash
balances on hand to protect all re-
quirements of their depositors and
customers.
These are facts which should be
recalled in these days when the long
faced men are in the foreground. Ha-

methods are not infallible, but they

surmountable.
Everything Comes at Once
Hawaii had its good times all In
heap, and is enjoying its bad times
| in the same proportions. The present
years prices of sugar would alone
have a very depressing effect on diyi-
dendse and the stock market The
drought, alone, would shade values Of
dends and the stock market The
cycle of world crop movements and
dry seasons all forecast that Hawaii
was due for a period of low prices.
The only thing that could change
world crop conditions would be a war
or crop failure in Europe, or hurri-
cane in Cuba, neither of which made
good"
On top of all this is the tariff agi-
tation which aims to destroy as much
as possible of the domestic sugar In
iustry in three years. and hand pros
perity over to San Domingo, Cuba.
Java, Japan, Germany and various
other foreign countries. This Of it.
self would cause slump, general
discounting of values based on the
worst that might happen.
The men and women with few dol
lars to invest, or some already In
vested want to know how 1t will all
come out. They want to know
whether future eventualities have
heen fully discounted and the values
as appearing today are bed rock, No
one doubts that the shrinkaso Of the
last three months allows for very
liberal discount. There is also no
doubt that the list could 60 lower. II
further reduction of dividends Is
forced by continued low prices and
legislation.
Investors who have not the time or
inclination to keep watch OF chang
ing condition had best keep In touch
with the bank and trust company men
who are rated as experts on the stu
alton.
They should always bear IN mind
this rule of experience 1.-The person.
who keeps his money in HaMaif nug1
almost invariably made more with It
and got more use out Of Il than those
who have decided that Hawaii has MOI
future and sent their coin out suf the
country to feather the nest Of main
land promoter.
Take it bye-and-large, the rule Of
home investment for the people OF
Hawaii has never failed to give splen-
did returns. And the investors who
placed their confidence. In the future
of Hawaii during the days when the
prospect seemed so dark that no
light could brighten it, are the ones
who have made money"
Confidence in your own town, re-.
cognition of the reassuring facts that
call for no needle.in-a-haystack
search, appreciation of the value OF
conservative business policies, and de-
termination to win come what MAY
that's a combination which cant
be beat"
With enough exceptions to prove
the rule, Honolulu has had this com.
bination in operation ever since II
has been recognized on the map as
d center of American activity.

The Concern of All.

Where the modern passion for
amusement is going to end is ques-
tion of the deepest concern to all
who hope to see their country grow
greater and stronger. There is no
doubt but the race for pleasure now
going on everywhere will weaken the
intellectual force of the people and
undermine their nobler spirit. The
current amusement is sensual, not
possibly in the low meaning, but it
is not intellectual or spiritual. 1t is
nearly all for appetite, show, excite
ment. There is very little true con-
versation. Mems minds are on the
trivial episodes of sports and politics;
women's on fashion and society.
Four-ifths of the reading is shallow.
1t doesn't make better men or wo-
men; it makes worse.
What is needed to comfort this
situation are earnest men and women
who take some interest in serious
things, who read good books and talk
sense and patronize the best. They
may sometimes get lonely in this ex-
perience, but it would be better for
themselves and the community If
they did. But there is no need of that.
There is no puratanism in real life
in a positive, aggressive life that
stands for the good and the true.
Such people are the only ones who
have a right to smile and look up
and to stand out in the community
and say their say without fear or
tremblins.-Ohio State Journal.

have very inferior knowledge of the
possibilities Of this country. There
