MAI. LENIHAN
WILL INSPECT
OAHU UGUARDSMEN

With the target season for the Ma
tional Guard just over, the citizen-sol-
diers will now turn their attention to
the annual inspection, which will be
made this year during the month of
March. Orders of the. Hawaiian de-
partment, issued yesterday, designate
Maj. NJ. J. Ienihan, End Infantry, to
inspect companies and detachments Of
the National Guard of Hawaii on Oahu
and 1st Lieut.. w. c. Whitener, Infan-
try, to make the inspection of the
companies at -Lahaina and Wailuku,
Maui, and Hilo, Hawaii. -. ...-...
The inspection this year is of more
than usual importance to the guard
because the federal appropriation is
to be based on attendance at inspec-
ton and not on the actual strength Of
the command, as formerly. One hun
dred per cent attendance is the slogan
that company commanders are adopt
ing, and nothing except physical dis
ability on surgeons certificate will be
accepted as an excuse for absence.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1S.-A
final effort to establish prohibition in
Hawaii is being arranged. 1t is real
ICED that but little time remains IN
which to accomplish this end before
the present session OF Congress ex-
pires on March 4. For that reason
Senator Gronna and those legislators
who think with him that all stimu-
lants should be removed from the mid
pacific territory are manifestfng
symptoms of becoming busy.
The peg on which renewed activity
looking to eradicating the rum evil
from Hawaii Is hung originated with
committee to bring a direct vote on
the Hobson resolution amending the
Federal Constitution so that prohibi
tion may become nationwide. II was
decided to have this vote taken in the
house December %. A two-thirds be-
ing necessary to adopt the resolution
In the house its defeat was accepted
as a foregone conclusion. Enough
votes have been Ia sight all along to
prevent IdNOFhOle dCIlOus Il nc -oStCh-
ing point was that large number Of
Hmemhers desired TO duck the actual
recording vote This MAS made i'm.
possible BY the action Of the rules
committee, fixing q date for voting.
Hence it became apparent that each
and every member who did not seek
nationwide prohibition must step for
ward and go on record to that effect.
Figuring out that prohibition was
lost in the house, and Hawaii would
not be included in a nationwide elm
ination of drink. those senators who
have been agitating prohibition for
the territory determined to seize the
opportune moment and endeavor to
have the Gronna bill. which applies
to the territory, taken UP and pushed
through before adjournment.
1t is not believed that the end
sought can be achieved. The impres-
sion prevails that the Gronna bill
cannot be brought to vote in the
senate before March 4.

CITY'S SINCOME
FOR 1878 MAY

Territorial Treasurer Says That
Tax Rate and Assessments
Likely to be Higher
SITUATION EXPLAINED,
BY C0luhEL MCCARTHY
Rate to be Figured on Ss4,.
600, 900 Valuation; Defin-
ite Figures Shortly

Though the city and county must
begin the new year with the exercise
of the strictestS economy, as told in
the auditors statement published yes.
terday, there Ake hopes that before
long the financial way will be
brighter. <F
Indications nov are that tine new
board of superFibrs for Honolulu and
Oahu, and the Yards of Hawaii, Maui
and Kauai will 9te considerably more
money at tbSlr disposal next year
than the count$ were given during
the year drawiilg to an" end. Terri
torial Treasufet3C. ]. Mccarthy says
that HonoluluR had approximately
$150,006 less this year than in 1918,
that Hawaii county was cut down
about $4,000 and the other two coun-
ties incomes were reduced in proper
ton, this being due to the largely re-
duced tax assessments.
While the tax rate for 1915 has not
been determine4 yet, it Is consid-
cred fairly .certain that it will be
raised automati ally, while assess
ments are likely3to increase, so that
the counties share may return their
incomes to their former level, at least.
The Hawaii county supervisors
are scarcely to be blamed for the
Strengthened finances and empty treas
ury that has been facing them this
year, says the Territorial treasurer.
Their budget was prepared on the
basis of an income which was expect
ed to be about the same as that OF
the previous year, but when the as
sessments fell short that, income was
actually cut short something like
$4,000. All of which was no fault OF
the county supervisors.
The reduced tax assessment Topped
off about $4,000 from Oahu county's
income in 1918, says the treasurer.
In addition the local board was re-
quired to lay away 100000 in cash
reserve fund, under the new law which
affects this island alone.
The tax rate situation is explained
by Col. Mccarthy as follows: The
rate was fixed for this year on the
basis of the assessed valuations OF
1913. The total 1913 assessment for
the territory in 1918 was on valua-
ton of about $S8,000,000. But re-
duced dividends and business of all
kinds, due to the tariffs effect here,
brought the actual 1914 assessment
down to $84,000,000. Thus the tax
rate did not fit the assessment and the
returns were smaller than had been
figured on.
This year, however, the rate will be
figured on the basis of an $84,0O0,0OO
valuation. The European war and
consequent higher prices should raise
however. The reduced
1914 assessment naturally should
make the 1915 tax rate higher, and II
the assessments of 1915 prove higher,
Ieyel. the receipts should be very
largely increased. Just how great the
Increase will be cannot be ascertained
vet. The tax rate has not been fixed
but probably will be determined very
shortly.

Items for the fire department report
ed to the caucus last night comprise

There Is new switchboard needed at
