FIGHT FOR SUGAR TARIFFS
CENTER|NG STRONGLY ON SENATE

The situation is siE>nIy this: In
the interest of harmonious action on
! the bill TO be reported by the ways
and means committee, the administra-
ton is willing to exert its influence
! with the committee to F.ovide for the
extension of a duty reduced - per
| cent, for a period of three years. Ii
5 suggested that if free sugar would
ruin the industry, the three years of
grace may be used for getting out of
the business. .-... =.
If the Louisiana and beet sugar
senators fight, the influence of the adj
ministration win be used to pass a
flee sugar bill at this session, thus
giving sugar planters no time to find
other ways for making a living if
they feel they cannot do it in growing
cane.
Primarily it is a question for the
senators to settle. Representative
BrousSard, who will become senator
! in two years, said he did not feel like
advising the senators. Senator Rams.
dell was not prepared 10 say what he
will do other than that he will carry
out his pledge to do the utmost for
sugar His first effort will be to get
other Democratic senators to stand
with him. He accepts the declara-
tions of his sugar constituents that
free sugar means ruin. so the problem
before him is as to whether 1T is bet
ter to oppose the powers that be. hop
ing to get support for duty not linn
tied as to time, or to surrender in
the hope that during the coming three
years something will take place to
avert the blow.
Fight centers on Senate. ....
1t would be a waste of time to un-
dertake a fight in the house. The
whole question lies with the senate.
Senator Smoot, who is the real Repub-
lican leader, several weeks ago told
the writer that neither he nor any
other regular Republican would help
any Democrats to retain protective or
even revenue duties on articles in
which the constituents Of the latter
have a particular interest, unless
these Democrats would reciprocate in
retaining duties on articles in which
the Republicans are interested.
That is generally regarded as a
bluff. but a year ago the regular Re
publican senators stood aside, when
the insurgent Republicans tried to
graft their tariff ideas onto the tariff
bills sent over from the house, and
allowed the Democrats to pass the
Democratic bills. Only enough OF
them voted then to make uD quorum.
| II they should carry out their threat
| half dozen Democratic senators
standing with Messrs Ransdell and
Thornton would not avail anything. II
takes only a majority of a quorum to
pass bill. Forty nine is a quorum in
the senate and twenty-five senators
could pass a tariff bill.
The plan Of having three Democrats
stand with Thornton and Ransdel
would be effective only in the event
all the Republicans voted aginst the

Mr. Consumer of Electricity, do you know
that it is A FACT that about one-third of the
residents of this city are buying current from
the Hawaiian Electric Company for less than
five cents per kilowatt hour?
Do you know that it is a FACT that about
onesixth of the Companys users of electricity
pay less than FOUR cents per kilowatt hour for
the same kind of current you are buying at fiji
teen cents?
Do you know that it is a fact that great num-
bers of people in this city are allowed a mini
mum charge of ONE dollar per month while you
are required to pay TWO dollars per month even
if you use only ten cents worth in that time?
Do you know that it is fact that the very
people who are being favored with these low
rates are NOT the LARGE users, but are in
nearly all cases, using much smaller amount of
current than the average householder who is pay
ing three times as much in proportion?
Do you think that the reason of the above
mentioned low rates is to be found in the Com
pany's love for those favored? Wrong again
the favored ones in the present instance, are the
very ones who, usually, are Disseminated
AGAINST by big corporations.
d (. 8 + .
1t has been suggested to me by number of
people that the Merchants Association is the
proper body to bring the kind of suit against
the Hawaiian Electric Company that l contem
plate bringing.
Ny reply to SUCH friend, is that greater ca.
lamty could not befaIl consumers in this city
The reason is that numerous people would as.
sign an Interior motive TO such a suit and evil
minded persons might even insinuate that the
fact that the Attorney of the Merchants Asso.
citation being also the Attorney for the Hawaiian
Electric Co, would result in failure to present
a strong ease even if a substitute attorney we're
employed by the Merchants. OF course realize
Mr. Hemenway would not, under any circum
stances, act for two opposing clients, but the al
the reason of the absence of technical electrical
knowledge, would place him in a position to be
severely criticized by unthinking people.
A suit brought by myself will be winner Ee
causo | know the game. =
If you want to secure some of the LOW
RATES already in force, send in your contribu-
tions NOW and | will fight your battle for you.
Mere news on this Subject from time to time for
the next two months.
