BORDER THE same
SAYS LIEUT.. BALL
Aide to General Funston Says
Change from Climate of Ho-
noIuIu Not Satisfactory

According to a recent letter from
Lieut.. VIM. G. Ball, aide to General
Funston, Texas City hardly stacks up
with Honolulu as to climate, and it
would seem that General Carter is
getting the best of the change of COM
mands in one way, although of course
General Funston is sitting right on the
lid, and will be in the midst of any
thing that may happen in Mexico. with
probably the most important COM
mand in the army.
From Houston, Texas, under date
line of February "a, Lieutenant Ball
writes friend in this city:
Just month ago yesterday we left
Honolulu and, believe me. we long for
the delightful climate of Hawaii. It's
colder than the Arctics here. The
general and | live together in a nice
little bungalow formerly occupied by
General Carter, but you can't get the
snow today and the general went over
to Galveston to get warm, and | de-
Cided to come up here and see some
friends. 1t is only about forty miles
up here, on the interurban, and this is
corking good town.
The Mexican situation seems about
what it has been. We don't get much
news. If Washington knows much,
they don't say anything, and we seem
no nearer intervention than when we
left Honolulu. OF course the killing
of Benton complicates matters some,
but / don't believe anything will come
4 out of it.
General Funston is well and things
move on about the same with us, as
always. He, of course, commands the
division, and it looks as though he
would for a long time.
When we arrived at San Francisco
we found we were ordered to proceed
to Omaha first and then to Texas City
We arrived at T. c. on Feb. Sth.
Give my regards to any of my
friends, and tell them Honolulu was
never like this. / hope to come back
there one of these days.

LEADS in FEE TO
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Commission Will Collect Some
what Larger Amount Than
Last Year-Three Shy

The Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany, which last year did a business
amounting to $1.216,S95.15, an in
crease of S116,000 over 1912, this
month will pay to the Public Utilities
Commission fees totalling S160844, an
amount materially larger than any
other concern doing utilities busi-
ness in the territory will be required
TO pay the commission in accordance
with the utilities law. The amount
which will be paid by the railroad
company this year is gain of $3.50
over last year. -
With the exception of three COM
panies: the Matson Navigation Com
pany, the Hawaiian Electric Company
and the Volcano Stables Company, all
the utility corporations in the terri
tory have, to date, furnished the Pub
lie Utilities Commission with state
ments of their capital and income
upon which the commission bases the
amount of the fee which each COM
pany shall pay to it this month. These
fees include one-half of per cent on
the capital stock, outstanding Decem-
ber 81, 1913, and one-twentieth of l
per cent of the gross income during
1918. Chairman E. A. Mott-Smith has
tabulated the statistics thus far re-
ceived, which show that, to date, the
commission has fees to the amount OF
$5l3S66 due this month. This is an
increase of S23S.33 over last year
When the three outstanding compa-
nies have submitted their figures. it is
expected that this amount will be
raised to the neighborhood of $500.
Following are the companies which
thus far have submitted their figures
and the fees which will be due from
| them:
Oahu Railway and Land Company
$160S.44, an increase of $3.50 over
fees paid in 1913 Kahului Railroad
Company S16733, decrease of $10.S0
Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land
Company S547.62. an increase of $27,.

FURTHER ACTION ON
5 CUBAN DUTY MUST BE
IN U.S.SUPREME COURT
BY C. S. ALBERT.
Special Star Bulletin Correspondence

- lSpecial Star-BulIetln Correspondencel
WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. IL
Cuban sugar is entitled to enter the
United States at all times during the
life of the present reciprocity treaty
on payment of duty of 20 per cent
less than that paid on other sugars,
according to an opinion handed down
by Attorney General McReynolds.
Louisiana sugar growers, who brought
the case to head, contended vigor-
ously that there was a conflict in the
new tariff law between its reaffirma-
tion of the Cuban reciprocity treaty,
which provides for 20 per cent pref
erential for Cuban sugar, and that
part of the law which provides for a
general reduction of the duty on su-
gar of % per cent beginning March /.
They hoped that the attorney-general
would find that there could not be a
reaffirmation of the treaty and are
duction in sugar duties.
The attorney-generals opinion. how
ever, will result in an almost immedi-
ate reduction in the rate on Cuban
sugar, keeping it as now 20 per cent
under other sugars. After March 1
Cuban '95 per cent" sugar viii be adj
mitted to the United States on pay
ment of a duty of about cent per
pound.
The attorney-generaFs opinion was
sent to Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo and customs collectors will be
notified of its purport before March
l. Any further action by the sugar
growers probably would be in the SUI
Ereme court Suit might De brought
to determine judicially the question
of conflict on which Mr.. McReynolds
has ruled. -. :~.-.

John w. Cathcart, city and county

W.L.Steele Says Local Institu-
tionS Compare Most Favor
ably with Illinois Work

''If the island of Oahu were to be
taken from the Pacific and transplant
ed in the vicinity of my home city in
Illinois, the only thing which the peo-
pie would recognize would be the pub
lie schools, from the fact that the
work in the Hawaiian institutions is
along the same lines, and compares
most favorably, with the schools on
the mainland. l have in my posses
sion specimens of local school work

for pupils in the states"
The foregoing compliment is paid
by w. L. Steele. superintendent OF

daughter, Miss Helen Stee:e, is Wis

past 20 years has occupied :1e posi-

said this morning, had CHOSEN these

"One of the things which impresses

Rathbun's Bill, Repeating
Hillery Tax Act, Is Passed

TRENTON, March 5.-The Hillery
tax act was repealed yesterday with
the action of the House of Assembly
in passing by unanimous vote Sen
ate bill No. 8, which passed the upper
House more than two weeks ago.
Senator Rathbun, of Morris county,
was the introducer of the bill. Prac-
tically every county tax board in the
State will welcome the passage of
the repeater.
The Hillery tax act was passed in
1906, setting a maximum amount that
can be raised every year by taxation.
1t caused lot of dissatisfaction on
account of the peculiar features which
1t brought about through its applica-
ton. While the maximum that would
be raised by taxation in any year was
fixed by law, the amount that might
be expended in appropriations was
not so limited.
1t was always possible. after all the
funds raised in any year were ex-
pended to exceed that amount, the
status of the debt being fixed by suits
in the courts. The amounts of the
judgments became a charge against
the following years appropriations.
The repeater of the Hillery tax law
will put an end to that condition.
