WOULD SAY LESS.


Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: No city is perfect. and many
of them have faults. but there seems
to be but one fault to be found with
Honolulu, and that is that we uncon-
seiously inject a dose of demotion
along with the promotion work. am
of the opinion that there is an unnec-
essary amount of "harping" on tuber-
culosis as it obtains here. 1t fur
nishes the subject for nine-tenths of
the squabbles between the hospitals,
sanitariums and local doctors. Even
the daily papers seem to enjoy roll
ing this tuberculosis morsel around
on their publicity tongues, and never
let slip a chance to advertise to the
world that we have tuberculosis here.
There is being so much published
about this disease throughout the
world that people are coming to con-
slider it with a dread and fear equal
to that they hold for smallpox or
cholera 1t might be the proper thing
to publish it in some of our promo
ton literature, and again it might be
considered a still better proposition
to put a can over it, and, excepting
those who are making successful
fight against it, forget it for a while
and talk politics. NJ. F.

Conclusion.
Two years ago. in convention as

language: The present prosperous
condition OF the territory of Hawaii
is due largely to the policies carried
out by the Republican party, national

nature. ....-
Should our appeal to the electorate
to enter a vigorous protest against
the destructive policies of the Demo-
cratic party be needed, We pledge
ourselves to do the utmost in our
power to bring about a prosperity
which is real not physiological; to
enact laws which mean growth, not

conduct all pubic matters entrusted
to us. and in every legitimate and

WASTE PLUS EXTRlVAGlECE

THE analysis of expenditures, account of
salaries and wages, as graphically outlined
should leave no doubt in the minds of the tax:
payers that by the steady increase of the salary
charges year by year, we have now reached n
point beyond any speculation on the score of
wanton extravaganza. We are wasting
approximately $4,000 a year in salaries alone
to run the Offices of our city and cO:nty. . . .
We are running our local government on the

"wAR TAX" AGAIN

The revenue of the United States
has been seriously crippled by the
war in Europe, import duties having
! been largely curtailed. Consequently
( the treasury officials are discussing
ways and means to meet the defici-
ency. Various expedierts to raise
revenue were resorted to during the
Spanish-American war, and 1t is prob
able some of them will be revived
to meet the present emergency.
The ways and means committee of
the house has called upon the treas
ury department for a detailed state
ment as to the condition of the treas
ury. and the situation as to reduced
import taxes, it's being conceded that
legislation of some kind will be neces-
sary. The present plan according to
Washington advices. is to levy a"war
tax" of approximately s1O0, 900, 900. A
stamp import on malt and spirituous
liquors has been proposed and It is
said that an import duty on tea and
coffee is also under contemplation.
Tobacco was included in the rev.
enue-raising scheme of the Spanish
American war, which the manufactur-
ers shouldercd onto the public by
making their plugs and packages
smaller. 1t might also be remarked
that when the tax was removed at
the close of the war, the sizes of the
plugs and packages were not restored
to their former dimensions and the
consumers have been paying the"war
tax" to the tobacco manufacturers
ever since. 1t would probably be
more satisfactory to the American
people to increase the revenue tax
on tobacco and let tea and coffee
alone.
The Republican minority in con-
gress will not obstruct legislation de-
signed to meet the emergency, al
though they will use their best en-
deavors to have just and equitable
tax laid. The announcement OF Lead
er Mann to this effect was expected,
for in times of great stress patriot
isE1 is always put above partisan poll
tics and there never has been any
reason to suppose the minority in con-
gress would not rise to the occasion.

LAUGHING WATER CAMP


Squirrel Gulch, Idaho Springs, Colo
Where pine and spruce and hemlock
clothe
The green hill sloping sides
Where down the rock-stream gulches
depths
A fairy torrent rides
Where shines the mountains brilliant
And sweeps her fleecy cloud
Where seldom strays the feet of men
Far from the stirring crowd,
A camp we made one summer day
Beside the hurrying brook.
Which from eternal snow comes down
To grace each shady nook.
The laughing song the streamlet sang
In open vale or damp,
Gave us name, our hearts enshrine,
Dear Laughing Water camp.
Fred G. Simmons, Club Hotel.
Where pine and spruce and hemlock
clothe
The hills brown, rocky sides,
And down the rock strewn gulches
deep
y hairy burro glides,
Where shines the brilliant mountain
sun,
Just two hours of the day,
Then plunges us in deepest gloom,
And goes upon his way,
Where seldom strays the foot of man
Far from the motley crowd,
Because he hasn't any time
And is with sense endowed:
:. camp we made one August day,
All frozen to the marrow,
And the only living things we saw
Were magpie and a sparrow.
The dripping, dripping of the rain,
Ger open vale and damp,
Gave us name, our hearts enshrine.
The dist place to camp.
