CHARTER Plan IS
NOW READY FOR
II HOUSE

With the spirit of work In their
blood. and by .cQnHeping an hour ear
lier than usual, the senate succeeded
this morning. Not only did they pass
eight bills through third reading, per-
init the introduction Of one bill, and
discuss one or two on second reading,
but they devoted more than an hour
and a half to the public utility bills.
Business started off at o'clock
with bang. First up was the senate
bill No. So, calling for plebiseite to
determine If 1t is the win Of the cleo
tors Of Honolulu to revise the present
charter or adopt a new one. Two min.
ate, had completed the reading of 1t,
the measure had passed third reading
and was ready to go to the house.
Changed almost entirely from the
one originally introduced, and follow
ing out closely the amendments and
made by Senator
Coke, the bill as it reads now calls
for four questions to be put on the
ballot for the electors to answer.
They are as follows:
DO you favor the present form Of
government for the City and County
of Honolulu?
"If so, do you favor the present
charter amended? or
DO you favor amending the pres
ent charter?
"Do you favor a new charter for
the City Of Honolulu?
IF so, do you favor an elective
commission? or
do you favor an appointive com
The remaining parts Of the bill are
substantially as Senator Coke's draft
read.
Before the reading OF the utility bill
commenced, the only arguments made
were on the house bill, which seeks to
have portion of the land of the Girls
Industrial School, at Panama, set
aside for public park. Senator
rdd, pointing out the growth OF the
school, and its present need of addi-
tional buildings, insisted that 1t would
Re unwise legislation to make a park
Of this land.
Senator Chillingworth brought up
the question of the power of the legis-
'ature to shift the fee from the edu.
cation department to the territory,
stating that it was his recollection
that the title to the property rested
In the department of education.
To settle the question of the title.
and also the question of the adyisa-
bility of making a park on the prem
ses by the school, the bill was re-
referred, this time to the select Oahu
committee. The promotion committee
had reported on teh measure yester-
day, recommending that it pass, but
suggesting that the name of the park
be changed from McCandless to Lin
coin.

Treatment for Uncle

BY C. S. ALBERT


Il
WASHINGTON. D. c., March 27.-
Hawaii, the Philippines, Porto Rico
and the Canal Zone are to be given
some measure Of protection in the
tariff revision scheme. It is proposed
to evolve a method by which this may
be done no matter how the rates are
siashed for the mainland.
It has for some time been realized
that sugar. tobacco and fruits are pro
uuced in the United States under more
adverse conditions than those existing
in Hawaii and other insular sections
cf the country. It Is frankly admitted
there should be differentiation in fix
ing duties to meet the situation. Just
low 1t can be arranged is a feature
for the wise men engaged in tariff
tinkering to determine
A start was made in the direction
of effectually protecting Hawaii. the
Philippines, Porto Rico and the Canal
Zone when Secretary Garrison of the
war department and General Mcintyre
CT the insular bureau went to the capi-
tol and discussed the subject with
Chairman Underwood and other lead
ing members of the ways and means
committee. Other conferences will
follow and the expectation is ex-
pressed that fair adjustment of the
tariff to meet the necessities of Ha-
wall and other outlying portions OF
the country will be the result. No in
timation is given regarding the basis
on which 1t viii be made

SUGGESTS REDUCTION OF
SPECIAL INCOME TAX

Another change in the special in
come tax law is proposed by Repre-
sentative Norman watkins. He would
reduce the tax from 2 to per cent,
then divide the receipts equally be-
tween immigration and conservation
projects. His suggestions are en-
bodied in his house bin 277, offered
this afternoon.
A measure relating to the same sub
ject was introduced yesterday by Nor
man K. LYMAN. He would leave the
special tax at the preseht figure, but
reduce the three-fourths Of this, which
now goes to immigration, to one-half,
devoting the other half to conservation
and internal Improvement.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WRITES REAPPORTIONMENT Bill

Senator Cecil Brown, author of the
first reapportionment bill before the
senate, will lend his support to the
measure introduced yesterday by Sem
ator Wirtz for the apportioning of
senators ! and representatives. The
senator made this admission last
night while discussing the bills with
Senator Wirtz.
The action of Senator Brown in get
ting behind the second bill is taken as
coming from his realization that his
measure is all but dead now. 1t has
been deferred until the next-to-the-last
day of the session, which would give
it one day to pass two readings in the
senate and three in the house, thing

a dozen or so leading businessmen.
Nearly all of those TALKED with de-
clared themselves heartily in favor of
and several said they would sign the
petition as soon sit should be pre-
sented.
One or two expressed the feeling
that as loyal Americans they could
hardly assent to such course. But
even they were quick to admit that
when the suggestion could even be
entertained by responsible citizens Of
Hawaii, the situation is indeed ser
ious.

RAW SUGAR MARKET
DECLINING AND WEAK

An argument for mercy II not JUS

mulating in the sugar market. A
cabIegram to Alexander & Baldwin
from New York received this after
neon says:
Holders of raws are asking 1886
but would probably accept less. Mar
ket weak"
This asking price is a decline from
3.39 reported to the planters this
morning by cable.

which If not otherwise Impossible is
made so by the rules of procedure.
With Senator Brown siding in with
the Wirtz bill, 1t will pass the senate,
in the opinion of the solons who were
discussing the matter last night, but
the possibilities of it getting through
the house are meager. The fight
against it will be made mainly by rep
resentatives whose districts that will
suffer loss in point of numbers in
representation.
The bill will go to committee, and
its author believes it should be re-
ported out within a few days, the sec
ond and third readings completed by
the middle of the month.

The movement, suggested first at an
informal discussion in the Commercial
Club yesterday at noon, after meet
ing OF the board Of governors, had
progressed so far today that the sery-
ices of an attorney to craft the pre-
anble to the petition are to be Sc
cured this afternoon.
In brief, prominent citizens OF the
territory, loyal citizens of the United
States, are asking that congress, If the
tariff on sugar is removed and the
commercial life of the islands
wrecked. should allow Hawaii once
more to become republic and as
such to enact its own customs law,
handle It's customs duty, secure labor
where II may in order to compete with
the foreign sugar-producing countries,
and otherwise avert the overwhelming
blow to all industry in the islands
At the informal meeting of Com
mercial Club members yesterday were
f.. L. Waldron, T. NJ Church. A. j.
Gignoux. former president Of the Mer-
chants Association, G. @. Bockus. ed
Towse and others. The discussion of
the tariff situation brought the sug-
gestion from C. g. Bockus that it is
time for Hawaii to declare to congress
the danger and the seriousness of the
fee trade legislation. He suggested
also that Hawaii should petition con-
gfess to allow the islands to resume
their separate republican form Of gov
ernment In case congress insists on
wreclfng the sugar industry and com,
rnerce here IN general is dragged
down.
The preamble to the petition viii
recite. according to present plans, that
Hawaii will guarantee the United
States permanent possession OF its
present military posts and defense
points, will guarantee not to turn toi
any other nation for aid or support:
that Hawaii will preserve the sanctity
Of the American flag here to the time
when congress shall recognize the
right of this country to protection Of
industry and will not force Hawaii to
compete In sugar production with
countries where cheap labor can be
secured and with other advantages
over this country
The fact will be recited that Hawaii /
has to pay SO q ton to ship sugar to
the mainland and must have protec |
tion. Emphasis viii be laid on the
destruction and chaos that will be Wis
fled upon Hawaii with the removal OF |
the sugar tariff.
Ex-Governor George R Carter, who
will 60 to Washington within few
days representing the people of Ha-
waii In this tariff fight, declared this !
morning that the fact that such pc
tition is even considered shows the
seriousness of the situation.
That responsible businessmen of
the territory should even consider a
suggestion shows how this territory |
is trembling at the thought OF what
Congress may do to us" he said, when.
in company with several other we'll
known businessmen, the plan was laid
before him.
"It Is not any disloyalty that prompts
such q course. but deep feeling that
the tariff revisionists are preparing
to visit territory-wide calamity up
ON us" he commented. "n is q feel
ing that we cannot exist II our indus /

opposition this morning when mell

from the cane growers Of that state
hastened here the moment It was
known that President Wilson and
Chairman Underwood had begun a Sc
ries of conferences seeking to reach an
agreement whereby a tariff measure
acceptable alike to the senate and
house might be framed. They desired
to make certain that free sugar was
not included in the list on which no
conflict will take place.

The presidents desire Is to frame
a bill that will amount to an unani-

to which all Democrats will have given

of the committee. 1T would not cost
more than $4,000 TO build and equip it.
The patients in such a place would be
far better off and the city and county,
in the long run, would save money
DR.. Wayson outlined his plan fol-
lowing discussion of figures he sub
mitted on the cost OF treating patients
at the Leahi Home and the cost Of OPP
Grating the home. He stated that
there was apparently an error in the
computation of these expenses in that
the charge against the patients was on
the 365-day basis. whereas, he said, the
figures showed that the average pa
tient STAYED in the home but IL and a
fraction days. He gave figures for
these patients, showing that their
treatment cost total of $4,000. He
thought from these figures that the
city did not need to increase it's ap-
preparation from $3.50 to $500. as ask
ed by the home, and that the homes
present guaranteed income will allow
it to take in even more city and county
patients Il
