UEWARRANTED

Honolulu's Democratic board of supervisors,
going into office six months ago biaring the
trumpets of economy and promising the taxpay-
ers a money-saying administration, is even now
ON the verge of general salary-raise that is
entirely unwarranted at this time.
The first six months tenure of the board has
shown considerable progressiveness, particular
ly in the matter of distributing money for per-
manent street Improvements. Furthermore, on
assuming office, the city fathers pared down the
salaryroll and thus made radical reduction in
the burden of overhead charges.
Now it is proposed--and the proposal seems
likely to be carried into action-te restore the
salaries in most cases TO the original figures. In
several conspicuous instances Democratic office
holders whose pay had not originally been cut
are to share in the present general increase.
If the city hall salaries were too low, there
would be comparatively little protest, even
though the money in the treasury is bitterly
needed elsewhere. The public servant has just
as much right to be adequately paid for his sery-
ices as has the employee of private corporation.
But most of the raises now proposed are unjusti-
fled. The salaries are high enough as they now
are. Iii is not the heads of departments not the
men burdened with the esp0nsbility-that are
to benefit, but clerks and subordinates who are
already drawing as much as or more. than they
could in private employ.
The supervisors say their finances are too linn
tied to warrant the building of the badly-needed
municipal hospital The supervisors say their
finances are too limited to warrant the erection
OF the badlyneeded city hall. The money now
wasted i'm overhead charges would soon start a
eoed-sized fund for either of these purposes.
An expert report on city and county finances
strongly criticised Honolulu because of the in
ordinate overhead charges. Now the supervisors
propose to increase this burden.
Cool wisdom is the necessity Of the day in
Hawaii's business affairs. With sugar at a low
price and the immediate tariff situation not thu
brightest, it is the part of acumen to go slow III
adding to financial responsibilities that must be
met month by month. Clearly there is no war
rant for the supervisors, in view Of the business
situation and the CRYING need for many perma
nent improvements, to add one dollar to an al
rnadr uniustifiable load Of running expenses fol

Treasury Experts Estimate Receipts for First Fiscal fea
Will Exceed Expenditures by $l6OOO,OOO and VIII
Be Still Greater in the Following Year.

FOR the current fiscal year, 1914" said
Senator Simmons, because the rates OF
the Payne Aldrich law have been in force
for the first quarter. and will continue In
force on wool and woollen goods until
January ! and on sugar until Marrh l..
When the next fiscal year begins July ],
1914. all the rates OF the new law will be
in operation. and the tariff duties collect
ed will be smaller.
THE income tax, which is collected for
the calendar year. can be collected for
only ten months OF the present year, as
the law specifies that collection shall not
go back OF March l. 1913. The estimated
decrease in the total expenditures Of the
government for 1915. $1,000 900. is based
on the fact that smaller expenditures are
