What President
Said In Message
On Sugar Tariff

Copies of President Wilson's mes
sage sent to Congress last Tuesday
reached Honolulu newspapers by mail
today, having been sent out in ad-
vance OF the delivery to Congress. TO
be released" by telegraph. Owing
to the distance from Washington to
Honolulu, the advance copies were
late arriving here.
The summary and lengthy quota
tions from the speech, secured by As
sociated Press telegraph and printed
In the Star-Bulletin on the day Of de-
livery, contain all the important parts
Of the address and sum up its spirit
comprehensively.
In view of the great interest here
as to the presidents recommendations
concerning the sugar tariff, the refer
ence is published In full, as follows:
"The additional revenues required
to carry out the program of military
and naval preparation of which ] have
spoken, would, as at present estimat.
ed, be for the fiscal year 1917, $685..
100000. Those figures, taken with the
figures for the present fiscal year
which / have already given, disclose
our financial problem for the year
1917 Assuming that the taxes impos-
ed by the emergency revenue act and
the present duty on sugar are to be
discontinued, and that the balance at
the close of the present fiscal year
will be only $20,644, ,605.7S, that the
disbursements for the Panama Canal
will again be about twenty-five mil.
lions. and that the additional expendi-
lures for the army and navy are auth.
orized by the Congress, the deficit
in the general fund of the treasury on
the thirtieth of June, 1917, will be
nearly two hundred and thirty-five
millions. To this sum at least fifty
millions should be added to repre-
sent safe working balance for the
treasury, and twelve millions to in.
clude the usual deficiency estimates
in 1917; and these additions would
make a total deficit OF some two hun
dred and ninety-seven millions. If the
present taxes should be continued
throughout this year and the next,
however, there would be balance in
the treasury Of some seventy-six and
a half millions at the end Of the pres
ent fiscal year, and a deficit at tht
end Of the next year.0f only some fits
millions, or, reckoning in sixty-two
for deficiency appropriations
and a safe treasury b6laf1c at the
end OF the year, total deficit Of some
one hundred and twelve millions. The
obvious moral Of the figures is that
II is a plain counsel Of prudence to
continue all Of the present taxes or
their equivalents, and confine our
selves to the problem Of providing
one hundred and twelve millions Of
new revenue rather than two hundred
and ninety-seven millions.

Plan URGED To
Retire Federal
JUDGES ON PAY
Bill in Congress Would Benefit
Judiciary of Hawaii and
Alaska
A. A. WILDER IN CAPITAL
PRESSING SCHEME THERE
Hopes No Successor for Judge
Dole Will Be Named Until
Idea is Endorsed
Rx c. s. ALBERT.
RnlIeiin Corresnondence

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. L.
Legislation will be sought in Con
gress to place the judiciary of Hawaii
on the same footing as that afforded
by the states. 1t is planned to give
the judges retirement with full pay
after ten years service, and upon at
tanning the age of 20 years,
Ii is said that Hawaii and Alaska
are the only exceptions to this bene
fit extended to judges. A campaign
will be waged to break down this
barrier.
A bill will be introduced soon after
Congress assemblies, providing for the
retirement of judges in Hawaii. The
usual safeguards, as now prevailing in
the States, will be contained in the
measure when formulated.
Arthur A. Wilder of Honolulu is
leading in the fight to secure retire
ment for Hawaiian judges. He will
see that the bill is presented to Con.
gress. He is extremely anxious that
Judge Sanford B. Dole shall becoms
beneficiary under the legislation, If
enacted. For that reason he has con-
ferred with Attorney-general Gregory
and urged him to not designate Judge
Dole's successor until the outcome of
the fight in Congress has been de
termined. He win seek to have the
Judge continue temporarily in Office
until he can retire under the new en-
actment. If his efforts in that direc-
tion prove successful.
It Is the intention Of Mr.. Wilder to
conduct a vigorous campaign in be-
half of the proposed change. He
will confer with many senators and
representatives on the subject and
urge them to support the proposition
when it comes up for action.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wilder espe-
cial consideration should be shown
Judge Dole because of his work at
the time of the provisional republic in
Hawaii and the transfer of the islands
to the American flag without blood
shed.

GREEK WOMAN ON
SIERRA NABBED;
-. LARCENY CHARGE

Arrested on a cabled request from
the San Francisco police, who hold a
warrant charging her with grand lar
ceny, Anastasia Eiokoumoupoulos, a
Greek woman. was taken into custody
by Deputy Sheriff Julius w. Asch and
Detective John Kellett this morning
when the Sierra docked.
She engaged first cabin accommeda-
tions for Honolulu under the name of
May Bonovitz. On the way over, she
is said to have told the purser she
wanted to buy a ticket for Australia,
but did not have sufficient funds. She
offered him jewelry in lieu of cash for
the transportation, but was told to
try and arrange to have funds cabfed
her here from the coast.
The woman was placed in the
woman's ward at the city JAIL and
will probably be taken back to San
Francisco for trial She speaks
broken English, difficult to under
stand What she is alleged to have
stolen was not mentioned in the cable.

Annual Report Shows Garri-
sons Figures Under Those
of Special War College
Board Announced Last Week
NATIONAL GUARD GIVEN
PARTICULAR ATTENTION
Proposed Not Only to Contin-
ue Existing Assistance BY
Federal Government But In
crease It," Says Cabinet
Member

Secretary Of War Garrison's annual
report, made public last week. rec
ommends the stationing Of 1888 en-
listed men and officers in the Hawaii
an islands.
This is about 1000 less than the
number recommended in the report OF
the special defense board of the Army
War college, which also was made
public last week A peculiar thing In
comparing the two reports is that the
secretary's plans call for a total regu-
lar army Of 141,793, while the war
college plans are for 10000 less.
Secretary Garrison's report reached
Honolulu by mail this morning and
was received with keenest interest by
army men and those following the
rapid growth Of the military on Oahu.
Some of the salient features of the
war secretary's recommendations are
contained N the following quotations.:
Our military responsibilities include
not only continental United States but
also the Philippine Islands, Hawaii.
Porto Rico and the Panama Canal
On the military side, as distinguished
from the naval side, there is necessity
for provision not only for mobile army
troops-that is, infantry, cavalry and
field artillery-but for coast fortifica-
tions and troops to man them.
AT the present time appropriations
are available for the maintenance of
an army and all of the accessory en-
ployees thereof aggregating 5,02S ON
GERS and 102.985 enlisted men. OF.
these $1,000 men are mobile army
troops. 10000 are coast defense troops.
and the balance are hospital corps.
quarteruaster men and other EN-
ployes Of that character OF this total
number, about $4,000 are on service
outside continental United States,
leaving therein about $4,000 mobile
army troops and about $4,000 coast
defense troops. Deductions must be
made from these latter figures of suf1-
cient troops to garrison the oversee
possessions. which will materially re-
.duce each of the totals above mention
ed.

Gus states has an enrolment of ap-
proximately $4,000 men and officers.

for the oversee garrisons in accord
