uai), 24,372 acres, lease expires December q ),
1917.
Waialua (Oahu), II, AS acres, lease expires
October 1, 1917.
Same, $500 acres, lease expires July l. 1921.
The earliest of the large leases to expire is
that of Waalua, but even that is out of the term
of the next governor.
New leases of these lands will be made sub
iect to withdrawal clauses, unless there are more
changes in the land laws.
The lant office records show no large leases
of sugar lands expiring during Pinkham's term
of office. One lease of about 5000 acres will
soon be made, that of the Wahikuli lands of
Maui, which have been held by Pioneer Mill
Company and are now being surveyed to fix
their boundaries. These lands will be offered
for a new lease soon
Present leaseholders have nothing to fear
from Pinkham administration or from any 9th
er administration if they have observed the law.
The land office is authority for the statement
that there is no danger of any forfeiture of ex-
isting leases, since all have been legally made
and duly observed.
In the face of the facts, why this effort to dis
credit in advance an administration whose sue
cess depends upon fair play for all and by all?

collected for city and county licenses,
which is a shortage OF $5,585.50, when
compared with the same period last
year. However. the difference was
rapidly being made up this morning,
and by tomorrow evening, in the opin-
ion of treasurer Mccarthy. the col
lections will show an amount equal to
that of last year for the same time.
The confusion arising over the re-
quirements set down by the new H.
cense statute. which recites that an
applicant, before being granted a Ii
cense, must show that all taxes due
Rave been paid, which showing is
made by a certificate from the tax
collector, is fast clearing. This was
shown in the work of the treasury de-
partment today when persons came to
renew their licenses, bringing with
them the necessary certificates.

nese Societies to bring test suit on
the legal right of the treasurer to in

threats were made that he did not
believe they, would be carried out, If
for no other reason than that they
would risk more than they could gain,
for the reason that test suit of the
law on this point would also involve

with reference to the delicate question
of the meaning of "all taxes due"
where it Is stated that the applicant
must show that all taxes due have
been paid before license can be is
sued to him.
1t was upon this question F. l..
Weaver, deputy city and county attor-
ney, and w. w. Thayer, attorney gen
eral. disagreed, the latter contending
that by the statute all taxes for the
year must be paid before license can
be issued, the former holding that only
those taxes must be paid which would
be delinquent il not paid at the time
application for license is considered.
The opinion of Mr.. Weaver is being
followed by the treasurer.

carts, urged the supervisor, address
ing the board in general and Super
visor Petrie, chairman CT the road COM
mittee, in particular. THE dust is
worse in. the city now than it has
ever been. Tourists come here. and
otter being caught in the cloud Of
dust along the Street, they make haste
to leave. They realize that dust is a
breeder of disease urge Supervisor
Petrie to get more sprinkling carts .
Replying. Supervisor Petrie stated
that the road committee plans to pur-
chase two more street sweeping ma
chimes; he said that one was already
in service, and that it was planned to
get two more when repairs on King
street were finished. He did not men
ton the sprinkling carts.
Before the meeting was over, Super.
visor Wo1ter again brought up the sub
feet and showed his determination to
force the issue and have the dust
problem satisfactorily disposed of. He
renewed his appeal for sprinklers.
at Is necessary to project our
health that something be done to lay
the dust. The sweeping machines viii
help great deal. and therefore do
urge upon you again. Mr.. Petrie, that
no time be lost in procuring the ma
Chimes concluded Supervisor Wolter.
The board showed itself to be far
vorably inclined toward Supervisor
VOTERS request, and Supervisor Pc
trie, gave his assurance that the ma
chimes would be bought soon.
I'VE can well afford to buy them.
Wolter had said during his speech.
I'VE have bought many things, Of far
less need, requiring more money. This
is problem, not only one of health,
but the entire beauty of the city Is
concerned. With the thoroughfares
as they are now, we can never expect
to have either a most desirable city
or a healthy one. So the relatively
small sums it will cost to do away
with the dust problem can well be at,
forded. The board is behind Mr.. Pc
trie. as chairman of the road commit
tee, and whatever he wishes to do
will be cooperated .lE'

CITY UPBUIlDNG THROUGH ORGANIZATION

Businessmen. of Honolulu who have visited
the southern states in the past ten years have
been surprised at the wide-awake and aggressive
spirit the New South is showing.
Not little of this spirit is due to the cooper
alton of the southerners in organizing their COM
mercial bodies and in making these commercial
bodies serve cities and states instead of special
interests. City-building in its broadcast sense is
the aim of the various commercial clubs and
chambers of commerce
a noteworthy move in the SOUTH a
move we'll worth noting in Honolulu and else
where in Hawaii,-is the organization of field
work by the Southern Commercial Secretaries
Association A. w. AIcKeand, long leader in
progressive community work, has been named
field secretary of the association and has already
begun his work His duty is to travel from town
to town and from city to city in the south, visit
inc commercial organizations and banding them
together in the association. He will also cam
paign for ity-building in each community where
there is a commercial organization, and if he
finds communities without organizations, will
endeayor. to see that one is started.
McKeand says of this phase of his work:
Bodybuilding is still in its educational stage.
It is amazing how ignorant the average business
man is with regard to the functions and duties
of a chamber of commerce. Things of city
building nature are, nine times out of ten, left
undone, not because the business men of city
do not have the best interests of the community
at heart, but because they are entirely innocent
of the knowledge which would urge them to do
things along. the right lines 1t therefore natur-
ally falls to the part of field secretary to play
the part of the evangelist in a commercial way
when coming in contact with these men. I'm
auestionably the harvest will be a rich one"
One of the reasons why there has been dis
tinct movement here for the merging of the com
mercial bodies is that neither the chamber of
commerce nor the merchants association devotes
any particular attention to city-upbuilding aside
from any connection with special commercial in
terests 1t is true that the chamber of commerce
rendered service in getting an experts report ON
city administration and financing, but the report
went on the shelf and a splendid start toward a
campaign for municipal efficiency ended inglo-
riously.

P0ULSEN COMPANY
MAY SECURE LARGE
BRITISH CONTRACT

Continuous wireless service between
Honolulu and San Francisco is prom
ised in the near future by the Federal
Telegraph Company, following tests
made during the past six weeks. Just
how soon this service will go into ef-
feet, Manager Pickle is not inclined to
guess, further than to admit that y
will be shortly. Until additional ap-
paratus has been installed at the Hee-
ia station no effort will be made to
send messages from this end, although
the service from San Francisco to Ho-
nolulu has been in operation for some
time past.
A most important day test was made
yesterday, for the benefit of leading
London financial publication, which
may result in the Poulsen company

Mr.. PIEkHAR AND PLANTATION LEASES

a recent dispatch from Washington, purport-
ing to speak for the newly appointed governor,
=. E. Pinkham, said that he is preparing to over
haul Hawaii and stated particularly that part
Of the overhauling would deal with the matter
Of plantation leases. The headline, locallywrit-
ten, conveyed the idea that Pinkham would be
against long leases of government land to plan
tations. .4,sasss
The Star Bulletin does not pretend to speak
FOR Mr.. Pinkham, nor have we any idea as to the
details of his policy with regard to government
land leases sThe facts are, however, that what
ever Pinkhams policy is, private interests that
have leased parts Of the public domain need have
no fear Of interference if they have lived up to
the letter and spirit of their agreement with the
territory.
The facts are also that, as governor, Mr.. Pink
ham will have comparatively little to do with the
leasing of public lands now under private lease
hold The first reason for this is because such
matters are distinctly under the jurisdiction Of
The land board, with the governors approval, of
course, and the second reason is that during the
term for which Pinkham is appointed very few
leases expire; very little leased land, and no
suRarland worth mentioning, will come up for
re-leasing or for homesteading.
Various amendments to the organic act, the
history of which it is not necessary to relate here
have placed the leasing of public lands pretty
much as a matter of department. routine. The
land board is clothed with full powers, and a
land board made up of good men will not be DOM
mated by any governor SO far as to do injustice
to public or private interests Under the pres
enf land laws all leases are made with withdraw
al clauses, so that the government may withdrew
the lands and use them for public purposes. No
public land can, be sold, leased or exchanged
without the land boards approval
Previous to 1906, the withdrawal clause was
not made a part of all leases, and many of the
very large leaseholds are not subject to amend
ment to the organic act and will not be until they
are released. Furthermore, there is not a single
large lease of sugar land expiring within the
next four years The records of the land com
missioner's office abundantly bear out the state
ment that neither the land board nor Pinkham
will have an opportunity to pass on sugar land
leases Of any magnitude, during Pinkhams term
of office
The land office records show the following
,arce leases expiring during the next few years
Waimanalo, $685. acres, lease expires 1920
Waimano Eva district), 1000 acres, lease
expires 1919 800

HoIabird Gets
$1,000 a Month

Los Angeles Examiner: Col. w. H
Holabird, receiver for the California
Development Company, declared yes.
terday before Judge Myers in the
superior court that he purposed de-
manding a federal investigation OF
what he termed "the monopoly of the
Marconia Wireless Telegraph COM
pany."
His statement followed an eXplana-
tion made to the court week ago
that when he started to equip four
wireless stations for the California
company at a total cost of $1,000,
the Marconi company notified him
that it controlled the patents and he
must pay S2700 for each station
equipment. Litigation was threat
ened if Marconi apparatus was not
used.
The $1,000 bid was made by Wood
i'll & Hulse, Los Angeles. Colonel
Holabird referred to the difference
between the bid of the local firm and
that of the S27O0 by the Marconi
agents for the equipment of each sta
tion as Staggering" He told Judge
Myers he would like a continuance of
discussion on the subject, and it was
granted.
Receiver Holabird decided to equip
four of the stations on the big irri-
cation system he supervises for the
California company in Imperial val
ley to outwit A. F. Andrade, receiver
of the Mexican subsidiary concern.
The latter has cut the telephone wires
positively necessary to the crew
whose duty it is to watch the flow
of water and promptly repair breaks
in the canals where there is devia-
ton from American soil across the
line This disrupts the entire system.
Judge Myers consented to request
that in the future the salary of
Colonel Holabird, as receiver, shall
be $1,000 monthly.
