TODAY MARKS BIRTH
OF SENATOR NORRIS
Rear Admiral Clover and
John Wanamaker Also CeIe.
brate Their Anniversaries.

Senator Norris Of Nebraska is receiv-
ing congratulations from his friends on
the fifty-second anniversary Of his
birth. As the Senator reviews in his
mind the past ffty-two years. he sees
visions Of no rosy pathway. He was
born on q farm In Sandusky county.
Ohio. His eagerness for education and
want Of funds forced him TO hire OUT
as a day laborer on the farm during tho
summer and attend school during the
winter months.
When he had gone through the high
schools he taught In order to obtain a
higher education. and finally managed
to attend Baldwin University and the
Northern Indiana Normal School.
Again he resumed teaching and put
his spare hours studying law. After
a short term n law school he was
graduated and admitted to the bar In
1SS3.
Another Year.
Still the fight against poverty was not
over. and the man who now occupies a
seat in the United States Senate had to
teach another year after he had gained
admission to the bar in order to get
means to purchase the nucleus of law
libr1ry.
In 1856 he moved to Nebraska. and his
political rise in that State has been
rapid. He served three terms as PROSE-
cutting attorney and one term as Judge
in the Fourteenth district In 1913 he
was elected Congressman and served as
such until eletced to the Senate.
Today Is also the birthday Of Rear
Admiral Richardson Clover y. 8. N.

Chinese Seek Government Subsidy

Chinese Seek Government Subsidy
Chinese steamship companies await
some move upon the part of the new
government towards bestowing sub
stantial subsidies. Japanese competi-
ton. assisted by government subsidies,
dominates the whole position. Sus-
pended or reduced dividends are in
evitable in the Far East in view Of the
91,200,000 which Japan pays in sub
sides each year. He adds: ION the

red that the newcomers are relying
this year upon their subsidy in order

FLIPINOON .
SERIOUS CHARGE

Prudente, a Filipino plantation la
borer. has been placed under arrest
by Assistant Chief of Detectives Kel-
lett, for investigation of charges pre-
ferred BY Carmelia Reyes, little FIJI
ipino girl, who Is said to allege that
she Is the victim of an assault COM
mitted by this man.
The child is barely seven years old.
Both the little one and the mother
we're brought in from Waipahu this
morning and will be asked to, make
their statement concerning the assault
with a view of establishing the guilt
or innocence of the man now under
detention by the police.
The arrest of Prudente was made by
Officer Spillner, an employee of Wal
pahu plantation.
The case is one that has brought
into play the legal machinery OF the
recently formed citizens committee,
who it is said will conduct the pros
eeution of the guilty parties.

example, gets an advance Of 81 over
the minimum rate.
Increased Cost Of Production.
A typical illustration Of the increase
in cost Of production was given Ly a
plantation manager who testified be-
fore the senate finance committee last
year. On his plantation the cost OF
producing a short ton of sugar from
1893 to 1899 was $43.lI, or 2.13 cents
per pound; from 1899 to 1905 it was
$3.50, or 2.99 cents per pound. and
from 1895 to 1910 it was $G2.41, or
3.12 cents per pound. The average
cost for all the plantations in Hawaii
for 1908 was S5l.GS1 q short ton, or
2.58 cents a pound; for 1909, $52,S7S,
or 2.c4 cents; for 1910, S56.426, or 2.S2
cents; for 1911, $58.2S, or z.91 cents.
1t is already apparent that the cost
for 1912 under the new scale of wages
will reach cents a pound.
In dealing with an average cost like
this, however, it must be remembered
that half of the entire production is
at higher figure, and that if the av-
erage cost Is given a bare profit, half
the plantations woull be forced out of
business and the production dimin-
iShed in proportion.
1t is impossible to estimate in ad-
vance exactly what reduction in the
tariff would enable even half the plan
tations in Hawaii to survive, because
the basic price of sugar, irrespective
of the tariff, is itself fuctuating and
impossible to forecast. 1t is certain,
however, that any material reduction
would at once diminish the production
of Hawaii and the extent Of the dam
age would depend upon the extent of
the reduction. In order to survive,
moreover, Hawaii would be compelled
to abandon its efforts to introduce
higher class of labor and return to
the days when cheapness was the
only consideration. Should the appli-
cation of a literacy test to our Euro
re2n immigration accompany a ma
terial reduction in the tariff on sugar,
Hawaii would be left permanently
and hopelessly Orientalized.
No Gain to Consumer.
We respectfully submit that the
Gripping or the destruction of the
domestic sugar industry by material
reduction in the duty on raw sugar
would not be counter. balanced by any
lasting gain to the American con-
sumner. The present tariff on raw
sugar is essentially a competitive ia
riff, in that it has stimulated produc-
ton from widely different and COM
petiag sources. Except for the adj
mission of 800, 900, tons of Philippine
sugar by the act of 1909, and an I'M
material change in the duty on re-
fined sugar, the sugar schedule was
put in its present form in December,
1903, when, by. giving reciprocity to
Cuba, CHban sugar was accorded a
protection of .337 cents per pound
against all other foreign sugar. The
increase in produetionfrom that time
to- the present has been as follows:

Domestic Sugar Below World. Price.
The influence on the price of sugar
has been equally marked. Before Gu
ban reciprocity the average price Of
raw sugar was nearly and sometimes
fully the worlds price plus the full
duty In the language of the trade,
the full duty sugars made the price"
With the gradual elimination of these
sugars and the growth of the COM
petition between the various domes-
tic and Cuban producers, the price
has been forced below the parity Of
the worlds price. During the past
year 0912), raw sugar sold in New
York at 0.945 cents a pound below
the cost Of Hamburg beet sugar land
ed, duty-paid, in New York, and the
average for the year was 0.473 cents,
or nearly half a cent a pound below
the full duty price. In recent years,
in fact, the price of raw sugar has
been at this parity only at infrequent
intervals, caused by an unexpected
shortage of the Cuban or some dOmes-
tic crop. The Democratic Campaign
Book Of 1912, states page 149), that
the average increase in the cost OF
sugar by the reason Of the Tariff dur
ing the last seven years has been JOB
cents per pound. This is not only
less than the full duty Of 1855 cents
but below the Cuban duty of 1.348.
The consumer no longer pays the full
duty.
1t is the custom of those attacking
the present schedule to teach each OF
the domestic producers individually
And to cndeavOr to show how each,
considered alone, has no economic
claim to continued protection. The
question takes a far different aspect
when their combined production is
considered. coupled with the fact that
they are competing against each other.
