WEAR COTTON CLOTES CLUB.

The movement to adopt cotton cloth
or household purposes and for wear
ing apparel is gaining popularity
ayery day. The"plan Is receiving en-
dorsement from various sources, and

situation is being commended.

that the purpose of the club Is not to
force them into adopting cotton cloth

they gladly give their names for men,
bership. There are no dues or duties
attached to the Club membership and
every woman however bush car be-
come a member.

him. His aequaintanees he asserts

friends are his when he wants them.

DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAR TAX

The emergency internal revenue bill which
passed the House yesterday is estimated to
yield revenue of $105, 100000 annually, made
up, according to Mr. Underwood's figures, as
follows: The stamp tax to yield $35,000000;
special taxes on bankers and brokers, So, 800,
600; special tax on tobacco dealers, $4,000000;
beer at an increased tax of 30 cents barrel,
$50, 100000; gasoline, $20,000,000; dry wines at
u cents gallon and sweet wines at 20 cents
gallon, $8,000000.
1t is probable that the senate will be the
scene of a lively fight on the proposal to tax
bankers and brokers through the medium of
imposts on commercial paper.
Democratic experience with the federal In
come tax has not been particularly fortunate.
Either through mistakes in the wording of the
measure or through failure to realize what its
effects would be, the income tax law has not
produced the expected revenue by about $780,
100000, according to a report that has come
to Honolulu on very good authority but which
does not seem to have been given any publicity
by the Democratic congressional leaders.
The proposal to tax domestic wines is bound
to make the internal revenue offices an immense
amount of trouble. AS there is now no taxation
lot domestic wine production and consequently
no administrative machinery for handling such
a tax, an entirely new system of collection, in
volving the appointment and employment of a
huge force of federal officials and employees
must be built up. From vineyard to ware
house the domestic wine industry of the coun-
try must-be closely supervised. The proposal
seems far from practicable.
The Spanish war tax met no opposition be-
cause the United States was at war and pa
triotism united with business intelligence in
securing the cooperation of the taxed interests
of the country. Now the United States is at
peace and the situation is quite different.
Yet the United States will stand in need of
the additional revenue and the measure that
will finally pass the national Congress must
meet the support of the patriotic businessmen
of the nation

TOO COSTLY A METHOD

Wars cost in lives is emphasized daily by the
reports of staggering losses sustained by one
side or the other engaged in the most deadly
conflict of history
Wars cost in dollars is likely to prove even
more effective as deterrent against future
RimbrogIios among the great nations. Calcula-
tons based upon official returns issued show
that the cost to the British government and
people for the first 43 days Of war, counting
from August /, when the disbursements began,
has been about $166, 100000 or at the rate Of
So 900 every day Should the war expense
continue for one year the total would amount
to $1,412,5OO,000 7.
Plainly war is getting too costly to hold its
place as the chief way Of settling grave inter-
national disputes. The more economical meth
cd of arbitration is bound to appeal to states
men when the European escutcheons have been
washed with blood.

SATURDAY 80. SEPTEMBER 26 1914.
ON THE WRONG ROAD

VIVA. Supervisors Mcclellan and Petrie told
a political meetipgS Of their. fellow Democrats
few nights ago is somewhat uncertain. The
chairman of the meeting and others say that
the two supervisors pledged their word that
if reelected in November they will ssfall in line
with the party organization u the matter OF
patronage. The supervisors maintain that all
they promised to do was to aecede to the in
dorsements of party organizations in the mat
ter Of appointments to office, providing the
proposed Apprentices were efficient. 81
The practical result Of the meeting, whatever
these two city fathers did or did not say, is
that the Democrats who preach party organi-
zation', and 'sparty regularity as the first
essentials in governing the city are today ex-
hitting that Petrie and Mcclellan have come
into camp" and will no longer resist the dis
nissa Of Republican office holders.
One report of the meeting says that both
Petrie and Mcclellan declared that by stand
ing out in the past against the removal of Fire
Chief Thurston City Engineer Whitehouse and
others they had forfeited Democratic support
without gaining any Republican approval.
Every good citizen who believes in efficient
self government will be sorry if it is true
these two men have surrendered to the job
hunters. They are mistaken if they think that
there has been no public approval of their stand
in the past. They won general communication
for it. Where they lost ground with the peo-
pie was in an indecisiye policy regarding roads
and street improvements.
The fight that Mcclellan and Petrie made
against the removal for political reasons of
Fire Chief Charles Thurston, City Engineer
Whitehouse and other city department heads
was good fight and if they lost ground with
the Democratic party organizations, they
gained ground with the Republicans and with
the big independent vote that really put Dem
ocratic board in office two years ago.
The point on which the present board Of
supervisors has fallen farthest short Of its re-
sponsibihties is that Of road and street inn
provement work The blame for this will be
laid upon all the supervisors by the electorate.
at the polls Messrs. Mcclellan and Petrie will
not be singled out
There is vote of close to 1000 in Honolulu
which is Independent in municipal politics.
The independents are growing all the time. Two
years ago they showed their strength and they
will show it again in November. These indie
pendents are naturally party men, but they be-
lieve that the efficient government Of their city
is the first consideration Of public officials
When they find that an attempt is made to sac
rifice efficiency to party patronage they are not
only Independents but insurgents
There are going to be aslot bfsinsurgents at
this fall election. And they will vote emphatic
ally against the sort Of politics that snbordin-
Hes civic welfare to party fattening 81
