amounting annually to so small fig.
ure as 35 cents per capita, that it
will not be felt. This is based on a
duty of 80 cents per 100 pounds Cuba
sugar, against present duty of $1.S4,
or 40 per cent reduction.
This reduction would decrease the
profits of the beet sugar manufactur-
ers some $7,0to,.s0 and would be 80
large cut that only those factories
could stand it as are suitably heated
and properly managed.
Inasmuch as the people must pay
the tax in any event, it will be- better
to assess ii on sugar and save and
continue legitimate industry, which
is a good thing for the country in
protecting the general consumer by
producing 1T home a sufficient quanti-
ty of necessity of life TO prevent
being taken by foreigners.
If all duty is taken off sugar, the
closing of domestic factories viii give
the trade to foreigners, who will
eventually advance prices. and our
people viii receive no benefit by the
CT duty but must still pay the
increased income tax while the bene-
fits go to foreigners.

question with Senators Root and
O'German, and also with New York

the matter favorably before them.
Several other letters are also cited

SUFFRAGE Bill
PASSED BY
HOUSE

while the adtopion of this resolli-
ton means that Parsons seat in this
house will be forever vacant, never
theless move its adoption" Thus
spoke Representative Paxson in the
house yesterday afternoon. He smiled
broadly. and all the members smiled
with him, though Paxson was sincere,
believing his statement to be true.
II was the equal suffrage resolu-
tion, introduced last week by Speaker
Holstein, asking congress to grant a
piebiscite In Hawaii, to LET the voters
say whether the women shall be en-
franchised. The resolution was re-
ported favorably by the Oahu delega-
ton, of which Paxson is chairman,
and was adopted by the house. Thus
the Representatives have done their
duty in the matter, and have provided
artillery for the next political cam
paign.
All except Paxson, however. His
action in the school department In
yestigation apparently has incurred
the enmity of the female school teach
ers, some of whom, two days ago,
openly boasted of what they would do
to him after they were given the
ballot
No rollcall was taken on the resolu-
ton, as such action is unnecessary,
so it is not known just who would
have appeared in active opposition.
The measure must yet be passed by
the senate before it can go to con-
gress.

HAWAII WOMAN
DOESGOOD WORK
IN SUGAR Fight


William ]. Kline will be remem-
bered by many friends in Honolulu
and other islands as the proprietor Of
the Amsterdam IN. " Recorder who
has twice visited the islands and is tc
be reckoned as constant friend OF al
that is best for Hawaii.
The Star-Bulletin has received q
copy OF the Evening Recorder OF April
16, in which the following appears as
the leading editorial:
MRS. JUDD's APPEAL.
Mrs. A. Francis Judd. of Honolulu,
widow of Chief Justice Judd, OF Ha-
wall, who Ii one Of the most highly
esteemed women OF the territory. says
In a personal letter to the editor Of
the Recorder:
"sAll the people out here who are
the most interested in the best vel.
fare OF these islands, deplore the pros
pect Of the free sugar bill passing in
Washington. under the new admins
tration, and are doing ali they can to
defeat It. ! beg that you will use
your influence and help us in our
hour OF need.
IL the tariff is taken off Hawaiian
sugar. it means disaster to all the best
interests of the islands. Only think
how the finest and noblest men of this
country have worked and Stayed and
risked everything to make Hawaii
what 1t should be, and sugar is the
main industry.
Sugar is not high priced now,
even with the tariff on it. II the free
sugar bill passes the only people bene-
flied will be the trusts. which turn up
like vultures to get all they can in
whatever way pcstible. The poor peo-
pie will not be benefited, and those
who have risked so much for the
islands sake will be the sufferers
Business interests here win go back
and down.
Tt seems such a pity when affairs
are so prosperous now. Everyone
here is doing all that is possible to
save the life of the territory, and to
protect the interests of all Americans
in Hawaii.
There are large gatherings held
here to voice the sentiment of the
public on the sugar tariff question,
and we hope they will be productive
of great good. We have to act at
once.
Mrs. Judd has comprehensive
grasp of the situation and her appeal
should receive careful attention. To
an unpre;udiced mind it would GER
tainly seem that the proposed action
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-29

of congress with regard to the sugar
tariff menaces the interests of Hawaii.
No other conclusion is possible from
the point of view of any one who be-
lieves in even moderate protection.
Delegate Kalanianaole says: The
Hawaiian islands form an extreme ex-
ample of a one-industry country.
Ninety-nine per cent of the commerce
Of these islands is based either direct
ly or indirectly upon sugar production;
necessarily, therefore, the wiping out
OF four-fifths of our plantations by free
sugar legislation viii mean industrial
disaster for the Hawaiian islands. The
economic effect upon our islands will
be to change Hawaii from a one-indusr
try to a no-industry country"

THE LATE ROSS ROBERTSON.


The attendance and services at the
funeral OF the late Ross Re5ersson at
the Eiks hall Monday afternoon were
fine tribute TO the memory of that
popular and worthy citizen. The spa

and friends and the ceremonies were
touching and app opriase.

George H. Williams of the Congrega-
tional church and every word he u
tered went straight to tbs hearts o,
his hearers. 1t has since been gem
orally commented upon and commend

on such an occasion. Mr.. Williams
attempted no elaborate eulogy OF the
deceased He did wnat was better
he related his personal experiences
with the brother gone before and let
it be known with what s-lendid cour-
age he met his impending fate. In a
succession of artistic touches, here a
little, there little, the speaker pic
tured the true character of Ross Rob
ertson until it stood forth clearly ano
distinctly and COMMANDED the pro-
found admiration Of al present.
