AID Club DOES
EFFECTIVE WORK

The first answers IN response to q
series of letters sent out some time
ago by the Honolulu AID Club with re
gard to the sugar protection campaign
have been received. The local club
felt some doubt as to whether the adj
yertising organizations on the main
land would. take the matter up, but
the very prompt responses to the first
letters indicate. that the appeal has
taken hold and other letters are fol
lowing.
The first letter to be received came
from F. II. Lloyd, secretary ana treas
Irer of the Spokane Ad Club, and
reads as follows:
THE Spokane Ad Club would be
clad to have you furnish them with
facts and figures relative 70 the dues
ton Of sugar tariff This organfza,
ton will stand with you first, last and
always on the proposition. II we may
be of further service, kindly call on

Another letter. from Mac Martin OF
Minneapolis, Mimi, writing in behalf
of the president Of the Minneapolis
advertising Forum, reads as follows
CAS- your letter to the president OF
'rhe Minneapolis Advertising Forum,

, ectors, answer you at once. While
i fear that any united action on the

SENATE PROBERS
LOOKING into
CONTRACTS

Senator Coke says that the hives
LEGATIONS of the proposed contract be-
Tween the Hawaiian Electric Company
and the board of public works is well
under way. What new facts the COM
rnittee has discovered he did not make
known. He stated that the work of
the committee would occupy several
more days, and that at It's conclusion
the report of its investigation viii be
made to the senate.
The contract which was originally
drafted, whereby the electric company
was to supply the city with power al
it's water works was TO be for one
year, the senator stated. But when
the instrument was ready TO be signed
he discovered that four years had
been substituted for one year, and as
result of inquiries made he intro
dUced resolution in the senate call
ing for q probe into the pending trans
action. s.:.."..s
General Manager Harry Hepburn OF
the Hawaiian Electric Company de-
nied that the proposed contract to
supply the power for the city's water
plant was unfair.
I'VE could not make a contract diff
ferent from the one we did," he said.
The proposition OF supplying cleo
tTicity for one year was impossible.
Five years is a short enough time.
j. will cost the company $4,000 to be
able to supply the city with the power
needed, and / believe that fact alone
Is sufficient to prove that one-year
contract would be improbable"
Mr.. Hepburn was asked If it were
not a fact that the first contract was
for one year and that it was changed
from that period to five years.
II believe so; ! am not certain, but
believe the first contract was for a
year. We could not sign such con-
tract Five years is short enough
period, when you consider the cost to
the company"
Being reminded that the board of
public works asked an appropriation
of $250,000 to supply its plant with
electricity to build its own power
plant, he replied that it Is ill-adyised
or the government to tie up so much
money when his company was In po-
sition to sell all the power needed.
why not put that $250,000 in the
water works? 1t will be of more bene-
fit to the public there. This company
can supply all the power needed. We
are improving our plant all the time.

rne Sixteenth Amendment.

Fer the first time in more than forty
years an amendment to the constitu-
ton has been adopted. This means
that it received a two-thirds majority
in both houses Of congress and was
ratified by the legislatures of three
fourths of the states.
The new amendment makes it pos
sible for congress to levy a tax on in
comes. Congress always supposed it
possessed such power until informed
otherwise by q supreme court decision
nearly twenty years ago. In Cleve-
lands second term the Democrats
enacted an income tax to produce part
of the e under the Wilson tariff
bill. BY Il 3 to 4 vote and after one
justice had changed his mind overnight,
according to common report. our high
est judicial tribunal declared the act
invalid. Strangely enough. at the very
time the disability thus created is be-
ing removed another Democratic adj
ministration is coming into power.
The fight for an income tax has been
long and bitter. So stout was the OPP
position that it was nearly fifteen years
after the supreme court decision was
rendered before congress submitted
the amendment to the states, and it
has required the unprecedentedly long
period of four and one-half years to
obtain the ratification of the necessary
thirty-six states. At the last moment
several legislatures fell V e each other
in the effort to obtain the honor of be-
ing the thirty-siXth. with the result

more than are needed.
All that now remains is for congress
to levy the tax, which will probably
be done by the extra session during the
coming summer.
