MONEY MAKING HARD

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Folks i'm
Washington who were laboring under
the impression that William j. Bryan

read the following quotation from a
speech by the secretary of state at
the banquet of the Retail Merchants
Association here:
Money making is a drudgery Of life
and no one can afford to devote all
his time to drudgery. We must have
higher thoughts than those of money.
We must try to put something in as
Well as take something out. 1t is

ceiyed."

Speaking for the board this morn

Prior to that time, with fixed rate
of taxation Of 1 per cent on real and
personal properly, the needs of the
government were met by constantly
adjusting the valuations returned to
the assessor. Under the present plan
the rates are adjustable and the valu
atoms are presumed to remain stable
except by actual increase or decrease
due to economic causes.
Before IL finishes it's session, how

probably point cut to the governor the
need OF asking the next Legislature to
amend the law by changing the time

for the year, and hence impossible t.

with the needs of the government.
BY permitting the rate to be fixed after
the assessments have been made this
difficulty will be largely obyiated.
1t was stated this morning that some
properey holders are in the habit OF
gauging their returns upon the rate of
taxation, and not upon valuation, as
the law contemplates.
It was also brought out that the
school department is likely to suffer
this year because of the probable less.
ened returns from the poll tax. due
to the collection last year OF a lot of
back taxes, and to the fact that through
the reduction of the wages of laboTers
on plantations this year, it is going tf
be impossible to collect as much poll
tax money as formerly. The board
may also recommend to the governor
that legislation be asked to obviate
this trouble.

All this has cost money Instead
of the original appropriation Of one
million dollars. the deck has consumed
three million dollars The actual time
needed for the construction Of the new
dock by the successful firm was bu,
two years
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-03-09

entire design Of the dock had been
changed It's size had been Increased
twice and the features Of its eonstruc-
ton have been radically altered. Since
the first plans had been drafted, the
snperdreadnaught type Of fighting
ship had been built, and not only
must the dock be larger, but the floor
must be able TO support the weight OF
such vessels. Mr.. Harris abandoned
all idea of using piles and turned to
e method never before used in the
construction OF a drydock. Before an
other step was taken, the engineers
made lip their minds to know just
what there was beneath the dock site
that was causing the trouble. In q
vague way it had all been ascribed to
.squicksand,1 but borings showed that
what the previous contractors had
thought to be hard pan rock about
eighty feet below the surface was
merely large boulders wholly insult
able for foundation At the bead OF
the deck, rock bottom was encoun-
tered at 95 feet. One hundred feet
further from the head this ledge had
sunk to one hundred feet, but at the
entrance 1t was lost entirely.
The information thus obtained is
really responsible for the ultimate sue
cess of the naval officer and the con-
tracing engineer. 1t showed them
the futility OF any attempt to use pile
construction. Caissons such as those
used in laying down the foundations
of the great skyscrapers we're sought
as the only alternative. although they
had never been used in this manner
before. Two things had to be guard
ed against: The aow Of the quick
sand in from the sides. with its con-
sequent peril to the big buildings all
around, and the persistent tendency OF
the shifting sands to bubble up in the
center of the excavation. The dock
must have not only strong walls to
protect 1t on all sides. but a floor
sturdy enough to resist the upheaval
of the sands and the downward pres
sure OF the ships that would be
locked
First, a concrete retaining wall was
put down all around the dock site.
Caissons were driven to bedrock
wherever possible and on these the
retaining wall was built. For the
floor, ia separate caissons were driy-
en- to get rock foundation for the
same number of concrete piers. The
floor, eight feet thick, is the most
Interesting portion of the work. II
had to be built to Withstand stresses
that reversed every time the dock
was filed or emptied. In the first
place, the whole dock has tendency
to float, when empty, on the water
and mud that sweep in beneath 1t.
Thus it must be anchored against this
upward thrust, and the floor must be
strong enough not to bulge over the
points of upward pressure. When fill
ed the burden is reversed. Then the
dock floor must Withstand the load of
thousands of tons of water: but the
greatest stress comes when a great
ship is placed on the blocks All the
other pressure is evenly distributed
over the bottom and sides. but this
enormous weight all comes within a
comparatively restricted area To re-
sist it, row Of especially strong
piers, their bases on the solid rock,
extend under the center of the floor.
These piers are sunk to depths that
vary from % to 125 feet below the
surface of the floor. The center line

necessary elevation from the
ground the minks and opossums
could be kept out of the chicken
coops and if the coops were care.
fully locked at night thieves could
probably be kept out. All these
things however require constant
attention. Apart from them also
comes the matter Of extreme
cleanliness, which is essential in
chicken farming. When all of
these incidents Of the business
have careful consideration the re-
suits are generally found quite
satisfactory.
There is a phase Of farm life
that has not been developed to
any extent on the Lower Coast,
and that is the lie Of the west
ern farmer, the man who with
his wife and children lives in a
cottage and makes every effort
to raise all that he and his family
can consume, without any regard
to selling the surplus until the
family supplies for the whole
year shall have been provided for
1t is generally admitted that pork
can be kept'on the Lower Coast
as well, or about as well, IS else
where in this state and salt meat
and smoked meats can thus be
secured so that the farmer can
readily produce enoagh for the
supplies of himself and family.
Their comes the problem of cloth
ling and such articles as tea and
coffee, which cannot well be pro-
duced in the country. These can
be secured, as has been and is
being done in the West now, by
sales Of butter and eggs and
hence the whole family lives
within itself and finally, if there
be any surplus money, that sur
plus can be applied to paying any
debt or increasing the acreage,
if that be desired. This is the
history of thousands and thous-
ands Of farmers in the West and
they have built up that country
IS it is today in the great states
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wis
consin and Iowa and their sur
plus is such that in those states
they become the chief buyers of
the automobiles and that because
of their economy and wealth. :.
On the Lower Coast the grass
crop is universal. This implies
at once a large supply of milk
and butter and possibly cheese.
It would imply that in any north
ern state and there is no reason
Why it should not imply as much
on the Lower Coast. Yet our
people are said now to be among
the largest consumers of conden-
sed milk Of any Of the states in
the Union. Tens Of thousands
Of cases Of condensed milk are
brought to Louisiana and sold
every year in the state, where
millions of dollars are expended
to extirpste the grass on the land
that the people of Wisconsin or /:
the people of Denmark would
gladly pay $500 per acre TO get
possession.
These sources Of latent wealth
ought to be sufficient to make
our young people ambitious Of
better in the accumulation
Of wealth than they have done
in the pass and while such
wealth can only come with hard
earnest and persistent ef-
fort, yet come it will if they ap-.
ply their ability and energy prop
erly.
