SO far have exceeded the estimate by

Crop of 1915: The total area to
be harvested for this crop viii be
l5414.91 acres. iincluding 81 acres OF
lratoons belonging to an independent
planter.
"The cane has a healthy appearance
but it is too early in its growth to
make anything but a rough estimate
of its yield Judging from experiences
of former years, Isexpect a crop Of
about 10000 tons.k
on February 4tts al If tie weather is
favorable, and tibet is 10 serious in
reference with the labor supply in the
summer months, we shall plant from
600 to 500 acres. There will be the
usual area of ratoons.
Reservoirs and bitches
During the year we have practical
/ ly completed the dam of the Hele-
mano upper reservoir. This reservoir
has an overflow area of 26.04 acres,
and a capacity of 14S,000,000 gallons.
The total cost of the dam to date is
| ST 1866. Of which amount $7587.25
was paid out of the receipts for the
year 1913. The object of this dam is
to provide storage room for the wa
tiers of the Poamoho and Helemano
streams, and during the short time it
has been in use it has been of great
value to the plantation.

It IT'S LEGAL, USE The MEN

Unless there exists some definite legal obiec
ton to the employment Of 200 idle men on the
roads Of Honolulu. their wages to be paid by the
Associated Charities, there is no good reason
why the supervisors should not accept the offer
It is foolish to saw that citizen laborers will
be deprived of work if the plan of Mr.. Spencer
Bowen, manager Of the Charities. is carried out.
There is work enough on the streets and roads
Of Honolulu to keep busy ten times as many men
as are now employed in the roads department.
The problem is not one Of work to do, but Of
mney to do it with. Now comes am offer of 200
men to be furnished the city free of cost 1t may
be true that the city is already laying off some
Of the present force. But that has nothing to do
with the question. The city can employ just as
many men as it has money to pay and in addi-
ton have 200 more whose wages are paid from
non-municipal sources
One objection Is RAISED that the CITY has mo-
tools to put in the hands of the men from the
Charities. And Immediately one publicspirited
man, Mr., James s. McCandless, comes forward

THE Q. 5. TREASURY STATUS
1862 Beretania Avenue,

Honolulu, February 26, 1914
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-Yopr quotation in Thursdays
paper from a Washington dispatch adj
yises that the general fund statement
fell for the first time below the $780,
100000 mark, and that for months
past the general fund has been show
ing a deficit of about 100000 day.
and You seem to be alarmed about it.
The money in the hands of the
treasurer equals the amount collected
from the people by taxation. The less
the government collects the less the
people are taxed and the more the
people have available for other pur-
poses. We make a hue and cry
about our local government taxing US
too much and one would think that a
general government that collects less
taxes ought to be commended. The
less indirect taxes we collect the less
money there will be available for ex
trayagance in government. for all we
need do Is to cpt expenses to suit the
purse. The people win take good care
of what they have left for their own.
legitimate business. Why should we
complain about not being taxed as
much or more than we used to be? Is
it possible that our government cam
not be run any cheaper than it is? II
there were no indirect taxes at all we
would easily find means of direct tax
alton to take care of the legitimate
expenses of government, economically
administered. Indirect taxation lis
merely plucking the goose with the
least squeal, and If there is anything
honest about it, perhaps ii is possible
to prove it. Don't worry

THE CDRGREssIUElL INQUIRIES

Nothing definite has come from the congress
sional investigation into the recent Colorado
mining disorders, except significant amount Of
testimony showing high-handed methods on the
part Of the mine operators The findings Of the
committee will probably not be forthcoming fol-
some weeks. The subjects of inquiry, as speci
fled in the congressional resolution, are as fol
lows:
Whether the postal service is interfered with.
whether the immigration laws are being violated
whether citizens have been arrested and tried con-
trary the constitution laws Of the United States
whether conditions have been caused by agree
and combinations contrary law for controls
ling the production, sale and transportation of coal
or copper
Whether arms and ammunition have been shipped
into the fields the purpose Of excluding prod
ucts Of the mines from competitive markets in inter-
state trade
Whether peonage exists or has been maintained
II these conditions. or any of them, exist, what
causes led up to them
One of Michigan's congressman, Kelly, tried
tnsuccessfully to block the probe in his own
state This of itself should be enough to cause
the inquiry at Calumet and Houghton to be par
ticularly rigid.
