"RATIONAL TARIFF REVISION"

Rational tariff revision is handled in an
interesting and forceful way by Amos X Fiske,
the noted economist, in the February issue of
the North American Review. Some of Mr..
Fishes utterances on the subject are acute He
says:
Notwithstanding all the confusion wrought
by agitation over other progressive" issues,
ranging from moderate to extreme radical pro-
posals, and the unwonted and undemocratic de-
votion to the personal claims of candidates, the
question of tariff revision became an influential
factor in the last election. The question was
more nearly ripe for a rational decision than at
any time in fifty years. All parties were ready
to acknowledge the abuses that have grown up
under the tariff during that period and the need
of q remedy.
The problem is one of today and not of q gen
eration ago or generation to come, and its so
tuition must have due regard to existing .cond
lions. The contest is along the line of the old
division between a fundamental policy of a tar
iff for revenue only and a tariff with protection
of American industries against foreign compe
tition as primary object.
The question is what should and can he done
in sensible and practical way in the revision
of the tariff. There will be wide difference of
opinion between those who still cherish the be-
lief that there is advantage to the people of the
country in maintaining industries OH a basis of
artificial cost and high prices, by shielding their
products from competition with foreign prod
ucts of the same kind in the home market, and
those who believe this policy to be a disadvan
tagc With the former, SO far as they have no
personal interest to serve it will be difficult to
undo the teaching of two or three generations
So far as they have such interest and are hon
estly convinced that what benefits them is a gen
eral benefit, they cannot be persuaded. For the
people as a whole it would be a substantial adj
vantage to adjust the tariff upon a basis which
would yield the needed revenue at the least cost
for collection, with the least interference with
the natural course of industry and trade in the
country, and with the smallest restriction upon
commerce with other nations =

A GOOD DECISION

Encouragement Charles F. Chillingworth' $
decision not to reserve auto locations on Alex
ander Field for the Floral Parade review tomor
row is to be heartily commended
Past Floral Parade committees have had a
good deal of trouble with this matter. There is
room for only fifty autos in the parking section
above the field and there are 100 autos in Ho
noulu. Each year the demand for one of those
fifty locations has been increasing, and each year
the autosts who are unluckily too late to get
tickets feel that there is discrimination against
them.
Director ChillingwOrtlI announces that no
ears will be allowed on the field, that the space
formerly occupied by cars will be used to furnish
additional standing and seating facilities for
spectators, and that the entire field is now to be
thrown open to the general public, no admission
fee being charged Autos may be parked in Pu-
nallou grounds or outside the Manoa entrance TO
the field from both of which places it is less than
minutes walk to the field itself
There will be some criticism of the director
general from auto-owners who feel that they
should be favored, but considering the general
pubIic the decision is a mighty good one. With
space for fifty machines only, no plan for giving
every. auto-owner an equal chance at locations
could be evolved, and it is far better to keep all
the cars outside and give the general public
the thousands of people who have no autos-the
best possible chance to see the afternoon review.

DEEPER THAN MtRRYAAKING

The Floral Parades with which Hawaii makes
merry each year are not all done in the spirit of
carnival The occasion is a patriotic one, the
birthday of the Father of His Country, and Ha-
waits wonderfully cosmopolitan population COM
melnorates a nations milestone quite as much as
a territory's chief holiday.
The participation of the military is a feature
of unusual interest and significance. More than
three thousand men will be in line tomorrow
morning, marching to the stirring music that has
kept time to martial feet on many a national
birthday and in many country and cline. 1t is
gratifying to very unusual degree that one is
able to record complete harmony and coopera-
ton between the military authorities and the
Floral Parade officials
Tomorrow morning many hundreds Of Homo
lulu's school children will salute the flag that is
their flag, whether they are of Hawaiian Chi
nese, Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino. British,
French, Spanish blood, whether their ancestors
landed with the Pilgrim Fathers on a stern and
rock-bound coast" seven thousand miles to the
eastward, or whether their ancestors toiled OBJ
securely in the titled fields of the Orient. The
flag of the United States is now their flag; its
colors are bright and untarnished for them; its
guarantee of freedom is guarantee of their free
dem.
To the true American the significance of
Washingtonis birthday does not grow old. And
here in Hawaii the emphasis on gayety and mer-
rymaking does not detract from the deep and
glowing pride of country that is the Americana
pride.

HONOLULU WOMAN
ENTERS THE LISTS
AGAINST SUFFRAGE

Mrs. A. B. Arleigh OF Honolulu, con-
tributes poem to the anti-suffragette
side of the Sunday New York Herald S
suffrage letter contest. 1t sin the
issue of January 26 and reads as fol-
lows:
WHEN SALLY ANN
TURNED SUFFRAGETTE
My mother was a good housewife,
She gave us all her life;
The baby was a darling dear
And never shed tear.
Our Bobby was. model lad
And made his teacher glad
| Our home was CHEEKY all the day,
For mother liked our play.
But suffragette got mothers ear
And stuffed it full of fear
That life is not a daily song
And women's votes must right the
wrong. >...:.
Then mother Joined a suffrage club
That shouted freedom from the tub,
And often went away from home
And left us kids to roam.
Now daddy is a patient man
And never raised the sand
He helped US kids to fix the grub
And bathed the baby in the tub
But while he was down town at work
From duty we did shirk;
We never Thought of aught but play
And let poor baby squall all day.
The house became a sight to see; a.
We called it our menagerie =
Now dady is no slick fur coat,
But such things got his goat.
He says hen he came HON at dark,
IF mwother will not quit this lark
III have TO quit my job n
And care for you and Bob. s~....
Then off he went TO a lawyer bold
And all things to him told -.
Now two it takes a home to make,
And neither can his duty shake; I.
One down town must work all day,
One at home must surely stay. Fl. I'd
Sally Ann her choice may take.
She may earn or she may bake II
Then daddy quit his job all right;
He worked at home fro mmorn till
night. 49,. 49,. g." -. +. -.
When mother saw the deed so bold
] know her feet grew very cold; -.
The suffrage chaff flew to the wind:
we looked at dad and grinned FL.
And shouted "Suffragette, Sufrra-
| gette! s.. T. .:E....
IS not for mothers! No. You beti".

A LAST EORD

4 last word on decorations If Honolulu
residences all bore the national colors, what a
difference in the appearance of the city for the
Floral Parade. Every flag that goes up means
one more effort to help make the carnival Il suc-
cess. Officials and committees cannot do il all.
They need the help Of strong public spirit.
And last word ON decorated autos also. 1t
is not too late now to bedeck your ear in flags
and enter il in the parade. 1t may not take Il
prize, il may not be as deliberately designed as
some of the entries, but its presence in the pro
cession will show that yon are doing your part.

The question of autoracing for tomorrow
sports at Kapoani park has been settled in the
negative by the grim negative of Death. The &C
cident to Il racing driver yesterday might have
been at kapiolani park before the eyes of five
thousand people instead of on Il quiet country
road. Had it been the former, the fate of auto
racing would have been decided for some time.
As it is daredevil and foohardy contests Oh the
track will probably continue ~.
