BIG PUBLISHER
HELPS FIGHT
!. FOR SUGAR

A. B. Arleigh has received from J..
F. Mason, the president and treasurer
of the great Dodge Publishing Com
pany, the following letter dealing
significantly with the sugar tariff
fight: ... ~ NJ ?.
g.. -. II. New York, April 9, 1913.
Mr. A. B. Arieigh, care A. B. Arleigh
& Co, Ltd, P. o. Box GIG. Homo
lulu, T. II. g. ~..." E. ~@ 4.
My dear Mr.. Arleigh:-I have your
lind letter of the 25th of March, and
can assure you that will do all in
ny power to call attention to the dis
satisfaction in the matter of the sugar
tariff ....
So far as our information goes at
present, indications point to con-
siderable revision in the Underwood
bill before it passes congress. Mr..
Wilson feels committed to very sub
stantial reduction in the present tariff
and will no doubt make a strong fight
to have the tariff taken off or greatly
reduced, on all the necessities Of life.
That this will not reduce the cost
of living is my firm conviction. We
have had ample examples In the past
to substantiate the belief ! hold, For
example: The duty was taken off
leather some little time ago, and
leather has risen steadily In value
and is costing more today on the
open market than II did when the
market was protected by tariff.
Sugar is selling. in department
stores in this vicinity for S440 per
hundred This is the lowest rate that
have : known in many years. l
firmly believe that the rate on sugar.
after the beet industry is destroyed,
and with no protection, will be over
5 cents. In other words, the tariff
reduction will work to the advantage
of the sugar trust by destroying home
competition.
The same is true regarding great
many other items on the free list.
Bibles. for example, are placed On the
free list. | am given to understand
by the Bible houses that they pro-
pose, in the event of this bill going
through, to close their manufacturing
establishments, discharge their work
men. and manufacture their product
in Great Britain, and they will prac-
tically sell their goods at the same
price as they are selling them now,
pocketing the difference in price.
There is to be a reduction of 10
per cent in the book tariff according
to the Underwood bill The difference
is so slight, when figured out on the
individual book, that it will not re-
duce the price to the wholesale or re-
tail consumer, as you can readily
understand
The indications are that a very
strong fight will be put up in the SEN
ate over this bill for in the minds
of many it will only work injury to a
great many industries in the country
and not reduce the cost of living, in
accordance with the theories of the
persons advocating the bill
Very truly yours,
J.. F. MASON.

SENATE TO GET
SCHOOL BUDGET
FOR ACTION soon

The house school budget bill will be
reported out of the senate education
committee the middle of the week,
and only few slight changes will be
suggested by the committee. The diff
ferent delegations in the senate have
found little fault with the measure,
and are ready to support it. The edu-
cation committee will favorably rec
ommend the passage of the appropria-
ton for vocational work.
These facts were given out yester-
day by a member of the senate COM
mittee. He stated that the only oppo-
sitiCn to the bin in the senate, SO far
as known, was Senator Metzge!, who
had declared number of the appro-
priations excessive. The other mem-
bers of the senate, who have appeared
before the committee, speak strongly
il favor of the bill. said the commit
teeman. =. .==.

new LOAN PLAN
OPPOSED BY
HEMENWAY

The county loan bill. which will
make it possible for the counties indf
Vidually to raise money on bonds, was
before the judiciary committee of the
senate at a public meeting last night
and after being thoroughly discussed
| by Attorney c. R. Hemenway and
County Treasurer C.. J. Mccarthy, the
committee took ii under Amusement
and will probably report favorably on
Il this week. The bill originated in
the house and passed that body with
number of strong hackers.
Several amendments have been tenn.
porarily agreed upon by the commit
tee. The most important one is cut
ting down the ped centum to two and
one-haf of sthe assessed value of the
county property The house bill set
the limit of the bill at three per cent.
Oahu. under such an act, would be
permitted to raise $2,100,000.
Colonel Mccarthy spoke in favor of
the measure, and Attorney Hemen-
way spoke against it. The former
pointed out that such an act was es-
sential in Oahu at least, inaSmuch as
the county is planning to take over
the water and sewer systems from the
territory, and gave his opinion that
the bonds would find an easy market.
Mr.. Hemenway did not OBJECT to the
principle of county raising money
on its own security, but believed that
under the present conditions, with the
sugar industry threatened, it was i'll
advised to pass measure which would
increase the taxes.
81 have no hesitation in saying that
no plantation, with the possible excep-
ton of one, will make any money dur
ing the year of 1913, if the prices con-
tinue unchanged, whether or not the
tariff is revised" declared Mr.. Hemen-
way.
"As for the transfer OF Tie water
and sewer systems, | believe that
could be best done by having terri
torial bonds issued for the benefit Of
the county. AS for this transfer, /
wish to add that the merchant bodies,
represented by me, are in favor of it,
although two years ago they were
not" ii ..>~ -. -.

What will be the outcome OF

a problem worrying the country
considerably at this time. The

comes the money market, and
today the banks are having a

Governor Blease Warns the Voters.

To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
I desire to call your attention to the
fact that the amendment to the Consti-
tuition OF the United States providing
for the direct election OF United States
Senators by the people has been ratifi-
ed by a sufficient number OF States TO
put the amendment INTO effect and that
this ratification by a sufficient number
of States has been announced by Hon.
William J. Bryan, Secretary OF State
OF the United States.
Although South Carolina has not rat
iied this amendment, yet un3er the
Constitution of the United States sup
pose she will be bound by it.
1t is now rumored that certain South
Carolinians - some natlve-born
some BY adoption without the States
consent-I regret they are South Car
oliuians-are endeavoring to have con-
gress place provision IN law TO be
passed under the new amendment to
the effect that in those States IN which
a primary is held by party for its can
dldate, no person shall be allowed to
vote in said primary except he be quail
flied 10 vote 10 the general election.
This effort is being made in an under
handed manner. l pow give you notice
that it is being made 10 order that you
may 60 TO your supervisors OF registra-
lion certificates and be fully prepared
to protect your elves when the time
comes The books of the supervisors OF
registration should be open 90 the first
Monday of each month at your county
seats. and your supervisors OF registra
ton should make proper arrangements
to see that every man who IS emitted to
be registered is registered. The re-
suective executive committees on each
Democratic club should see that every
member OF every club has his name up
on the registration books. No white
man iu the State should wait for some
budy else TO attend 10 it for him, but
should get his certificate himself and
be ready for the fray when 1t comes.
] do not believe that your legislature
is going TO place any such restrictions
upon your State primary, nor d. l De-
lieve that your STATE convention Will
place aoy such restrictions around your
State primary, but we can not tell what
effect these underground, stao-in.Ihe-
back. cheap politicians may bring about
in Washington, in order to deprive a
certain element of the white people o:
the south and of our Stale e OF partlclpat-
ing in the primary, particularly 10

heretofore been defeated or now see
defeat staring them in the face.
| feel that it is proper that warning
should be given you. and that it is my
duty as your Governor to give it, and l
now do so. can only give the warning,
as feel it is my duty to do. II you fail
to heed it, and find Yourself deprived OF
suffrage, you will have no one TO blame

There are many who do not

but when argument is presented
there can be nothing convincing
against it. 1t would be rather
a queer sight in this State to
see the ladies at the polls, but

Governor ordered these officials
to put a stop to the Sunday
motorcycle racing on the Isle OF
Palms, and the sale of intoxicat'
ing beverages. The Isle Of Palms
is a pleasure resort where peo-
pie go from all over this and ad
Joining States for a few days
recreation. The "big day"is Sun
day, and when the amusement
feature is taken away it prac-
tically destroys the purpose of
the resort. Just why the Cover
nor should at this time select the
Isle of Palms for a more strict
observance of the law we do not
know, but from his order it ap-
pears that he regards the action
of the Mayor of Charleston, In
requiring the liquor concerns to
close on Sundays in the city, to
be favorable to the resort across
the harbor.
Had the Governor put the lid
on this resort from the begin
ming, 1t would have been differ
ent, but inasmuch as he has
taken no notice of the races and
the liquor selling heretofore,
there are many who want to
know the significance Of this re-
cent move. Especially are they
of an exquisitive turn of mind
with regard to this matter, since
the Governor has evinced a
greater interest in having the
liquor laws throughout the State
enforced by his recent letter to
the President, asking for the aid
of the federal government by
withholding the issuance of IL
censes to those who are not le-
galIy permitted to sell intozl-
cantS.
1t is the duty of the Governor
to enforce the laws of the State,
and when he endeavors to do so
he should receive all the encour-
agement the people can give
him, and while we think a resort
like the Isle Of Palms should be
permitted to have privilege,
the authority to get such is from
the legislature, and until this
body grants a license there is no
way but the right way, and that
is a strict compliance with the
law, and this is what the Cover
nor appears to be seeking.

the congressman representing
the district, and in the expecta-

opinion Mrs. Longstreet will
accomplish nothing that will be
of benefit to her, and she would
have saved herself much trouble

powers that be, and permitted
her successor to be commission
ed without delay.
