New York, Aug. 15.-Bradstreets to-

Trade trends continue rather mixed,
but on the whole movements are onward
chiefly because of the waning of mid
summer and the approach of the fall
season. As a general proposition, retail
dealers, fguratively speaking, have
whitfield stocks down TO the little end Of
nothing, and in consequence such pur-
chasers. though preferring to buy spar
ingly. find that their wants are of such
dimensions as to make for relatively
liberal takings. y
Reduced prices for wire. butt weld

THE GREATER POINT

The harbor commission lost a point before
the merchants association yesterday afternoon
but it established far more vital point. The
point lost was the Endorsement Of the commits
siOns plan for tonnage tax on freight handled
over the territorial wharves; the point estab-
1ished was that every member of the association
present was brought to q. realization Of the ne
cessity for permanent construction work on the
waterfronts of island ports.
The commissions presentation Of the facts
concerning the rapid disintegration of the wood
en- structures, and its summary of the necessity
Of providing for the large commerce Of the fu-
ture were unanswerable The commission is do
ing very excellent work and the merchants as
sociation will probably back it up in any plan
whereby the expenses of wharf construction and
the territory instead of being met partly by a
direct tax on freight Tonnage
The harbor commission, it should be said, is
not springing any new plan on the community in
proposing the tonnage tax. Four months ago,
after consideration then extending over six
months, the commission wrote to all the com
lnercal bodies of the territory outlining the plan
and recommending it. According to the COM
missions records, the Honolulu chamber of COM
merce and the merchants association did not
even acknowledge the letters, not to speak of TAX
ing up amatter of which the commission wrote
sAs the suggestion of your committee is a rad
zeal departure from the previous policy of the
territory etc.
The commission can find no other way ade-
quately to handle the wharf situation and it can
not be blamed for feeling that the present yolun-
tary, unofficial and privately -handled shippers
wharf tax should not be used as a bar to an off
cial territorial tax The shippers tax is a splen-
did instance of private generosity and benefit
cenee, but it should not stand as an argument
against territorial financing.

4 VIEW OF THE UTILITY
COMMISSION

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-The legislature viii be max
ing big mistake If it passes an utili-
ties bill that is going to be as expen-
sive to the taxpayers as the Rice or
Metzger bills. These utilities need
regulating. but, as Senator Brown
says, they are not so rotten" as that
Why, the salaries alone call for lar
ger sum than our supervisors get for
running the entire island government
1t will equal half the salaries almost
now received by our house Of represen-
tatives This bill needs more consider
alton to make it suit our conditions
and to meet our needs. And this can
be had only by time and experiences

THE. FAIR and THE FLORAL PARADE

The idea of a mechanical, livestock, agricul-
tural and horticultural fair to be held next year
is an excellent one and Representative George
p. Cooke and the house are to be congratulated
on pushing the bill appropriating $1,000 for the
expenses of the fair As the date for the fair is
to be left to the discretion of the commission that
will handle it, suggestion as to the best time
is in order. The Star Bulletin suggests that the
fair should be held during Floral Parade week
There are two very good reasons for this. In
the first place, Floral Parade week attracts peo-
Die from all over the territory, excursions are
run on the Inter Island lines and special rates
can be secured.
In the second place, the one serious complaint
against Floral Parade week now is that it is not
a week of carnival at all, but only about three
DAYS. Visitors from the mainland come here ex-
pecting longer period of festiyity and they GER
tainly have a right to expect larger number Of
features than they are now given If the fair
sh6.ld be held for three days or more during

THE DIRECT VOTE ADVANCE

William Jennings Bryan believes, with a
good many other people, that the progress of the
principle of direct voting will end the present
convention system A few days ago he said this
to the Union League Club of Chicago:
81 believe welhaye seen the last great national
convention this scuntry will ever see; that be-
fore another presidential election rolls around
we will have the presidential primary in so
many states that our next candidates will be
chosen not by delegates at conventions, but by
the people at home, and the men selected will,
when elected, be the servants of all the people
and not obligated to few men for the honor of
being elected.
One evidence of this advancing principle is
that of the ratification of the constitutional
amendment providing for direet9yote of the peo-
pie for United States senators.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-11

this week, in connection with well-managed rae
ing, it would be a tremendous attraction. The
mechanical and livestock exhibits would be a
revelation to residents of the territory as the ag
ricultural and horticultural exhibits would be a
revelation to visitors. .....>
With the five thousand dollars appropriated
by the bill, the fair next year would be pretty
well provided for. In fact, it would probably
result in an annual event in conjunction with
Floral Parade week. "

A MOVE TOWARD DISARMAMENT

Little of encouragement has come from the
first definite move among European nations to
limit the present reckless and VIGOROUSLY bur-
densome budgets for armament.
To the credit of Great Britain, that nation
took the first step. Winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, made an offer of a
naval holiday for year by submitting to the
house of commons naval estimates calling for
no new expenditure for armament during 1914.
In this way, said Churchill, 'the world would
obtain almost instantaneous mitigation of the
ly of the present acute rivalry in ornaments. I"
Scores of millions, he declared, were being
squandered each year without making any real
difference in the relative naval strength of the
nations, His proposal, he argued, would involve
no alteration in the relative strength of the
worlds navies, and added: eve address this
proposal to all nations and to no nation with
more profound sincerity than to our great neigh
bor over the North sea-
Churchill, in speech delivered later in the
house of commons, proposed that Germany and
Great Britain agree to cancel their programs of
construction for the year 1914. He suggested
that the influence of such an agreement would
be priceless and measure1ess in giving a wider
international scope to an arrangement for the
prevention of wasteful, purposeless and futile
folly.
The first lord of the admiralty said he was
convinced that this treatment of the subject was
the only way to terminate one of the most stupid
and unnatural chapters in the history of Euro
pean civilization.
In spite of Great Britain's offer, Germany,
according to recent dispatches, will not Sc
riously consider an agreement on the matter.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, an influential Ger
man newspaper, has espoused the cause of ar
mament limitation only to be met with rebuffs
in official circles, where it is declared that the
proposition is untenable and the government is
utterly disincliRed to consider proposals for
disarmament Germany's reluctance to agree to
the Churchill proposals is not difficult to under
stand, though it is unfortunate The German
admiralty has entered upon an ambitious pro-
gram for naval expansion and to bring that pro-
gram to a halt'now would upset all the care
fully-laid plans to make the nation the peer of
any sea-power.
There is, however, hope, for the future in the
fact that one of the great nations has made a
move toward limitation of armament
