Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-03-26

The city and county of Honolulu has found
Itself in serious financial straits, and the super
risors are desperately sIasLing salaries cutting
down improvement appropriations and reducing
current expenses generally.
Part of The very grave problem is due to the
blow to Hawaiian industry and Hawaiian bust
ness dealt by the Wilson Underwood tariff bill.
The supervisors find that the city revenues,
mainly derived from taxes, will fall far below
their estimates. The tax valuations for assess
ment purposes, as shown by the Star Bulletin
when the territorial tax board met two weeks
ago, will drop tremendously.
1t is fair to state that the drop in tax valua
TONS and in resultant revenues is not all due
70 an outlook made gloomy by the national adj
ILLUSTRATIONS tariff policy Part Of it is due
70 the low price for sugar. That cannot be
aferted. But the tariff policy has hurt every
other business in Hawaii and directly exerted a
.bearishr influence on tax returns
Insofar as thus decreased revenues are upset
ting the financial plans Of the city, the supervi-
sors are not to blame. The national admins
trations blow to sugar is responsible.
But the supervisors arr responsible, they are
to blame, for a weak, short-sighted and reckless
financial policy in the spending of the city and
county funds
They are responsible for permitting the spells
<{stenl Of politics to run the city's overhead
charges to a startling figure.
They are to blame for permitting a system of
salary raises to loot the city treasury
The working majority on the board of super
1isorS, even though possibly welmeaning,
IS responsible for absolutely unnecessary ex-
theco consistently, Supervisor Woltcr at times
and Mayor Fern spasmoaically, have objected to
the steadily growing salary list that has been
swollen under the present Democratic board nm
III it is out of all reason
Week after week and month after month,
ever since the present board took office, the
Star-Bullefin has pointed out the road travelled
~ the supervisors The news and editorial col
nmns Of this paper will show that the facts and
figures have been laid before the public, that
earnest protest has been made against extrava-
eance, and that in spite of all objections the
majority of the board has gone ahead as if the
long lane Of money,spending had no turning.
The present supervisors took office on the
first of January, 1913 They had been elected
on a platform of economy They had pledged
themselves to run the city and county better
Than the previous board had done For several
weeks, after election and prior to taking office,
they had told of great plans for saving the pub
lie funds
Their first actions indicated that they would
carry out in good faith this program of econ.
omy. On January s, 1913, the Star Bulletin
printed the following
