SUGAR: A BLUNDER AND A CORNER.
(From Philadelphia Public Ledger


All reports agree that strong efforts will be
made in the next Congress to undo some of the
follies of the last Congress. Among other fol-
lies that cry aloud for attention is the sugar
tariff The only things which Congress sue
ceeded in accomplishing by its free sugar pro-
gram were to disturb the sugar growers of the
United States and cut millions off the Federal
revenue in the shape of sugar duties. 1t did
not, as everybody who buys sugar knows, re-
duce the average price of that necessity. Now
there are rumors of speculative campaign
aiming to control the supply of raw sugars.
The contamination of such scheme can only
profit the originators if the price of refined
sugar is advanced Thus we behold dear sugar
upon the table, coupled with loss in future of
tens of millions in revenues and all for what [
Nothing except the qualification of legislators
who had political campaign mapped out and
put il into effect. Congressional incompetence
rarely goes as far as this. No benefit to any
body in che United States on the one hand, no
bars against corner and rise in sugar on the
other, and on top of all a. big deficit in the
United States treasury. If free sugar meant
cheap sugar something might be gained. I'm
fortunately there is no guarantee that it will
ever result in any such thing. z.las. Nh.

FACTORS IN cARRANzA'ssF FAVOR.

49, Businessmen of the United States with large
interests in Mexico have recently come to the
conclusion that only in recognition of Gen.
CaTanza is there hope of ending the anarchy
and chaos Of the troubled republic, according
to newspaper reports from Washington. The
significance of this at time when the Pan
American conferees are looking with favor at
Carranza must be taken into consideration in
discussing the q Mexican situation" ~.
It is said on good authority that both the
American and English financial groups with
Mexican interests are urging upon the admin
istration that Carranza be recognized. His
recent progress in campaigns against Villa,
Zapata and other faction-leaders has placed
him, they say, in position where he will prob
ably be able to restore general order and set
up stable government If given the big factor
of recognition by President Wilson
The pendulum seems to be swinging slowly
toward the "first chief" Another defeat or
two of his enemies may bring radical change
in the situation and influence public opinion
to support his claims.

PAYING THE PIPER.

IF the contention of economists is true that
the European war is caused primarily by trade
competition and that patriotism is only its
window-trimming, this mighty conflict ought
to be the last For the nations involved APP
pear to be losing infinitely more commercially
than they are likely to gain.
Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, Regi-
Maid McKenna, outlined taxation scheme in
the house of commons yesterday that under
normal conditions would raise a revolution
about the governments ears. An increase of
40 per cent in the income tax is only part of
his plan for saving the government from bank
ruptcy In saving the government, the people
will be burdened for years with a terrific
weight of fixed charges. And Britain's plight
is probably better than several others of the
warning nations. Their resources have been
turned over to the manufacture of munitions
and supplies to outfit the armies which absorb
the best of their men. Those which are able
to purchase abroad are spending hundreds Of
millions where before the war hundreds of
thousands would have evoked a lively argu-
lnent with the Opposition.

expenses of the campaigns they have waged,
indemnities whose sum will probably stagger
the world. Those who win cannot possibly
secure enough indemnity to repay their ex-

will convince the fighters, as it has already con-

From time to time the Star Bulletin is re-
publishing editorial comment from mainland
papers upon the revision of the sugar tariff.
Ordinarily all these editorials have to say is
we'll known in Hawaii but to local readers the
interesting point is that some of the most pow
erful and politically independent newspapers
of the states recognize that the sugar tariff
revision plan of the Democratic Congress
threatens disaster to domestic sugar producers
and simultaneously cuts off many millions,
badly needed, from the government treasury.
All of this foreshadows strong move to re-
tain substantial duty on sugar.

GET AFTER THE HUNTERS OF MEN

Honolulu's supervisors are considering a
plan to round up hunters who 60 out after
game without a license. While they are upon
the subject of hunters and firearms, there is
an excellent opportunity for the supervisors
to perform a useful service by rounding up
the hunters who 60 out after human prey with
outa license. Whatever the cold statistics say
at the end of the year, there appears to be a
very rapid and alarming increase in violent
crime. Cutting and shooting ARRAYS are get
ting almost too common to be noticed; murder
seems to be growing in popularity; the con-
Tenient combination of murder and suicide is
attempted frequently and with appalling sue
cess Booze is playing major role in most of
the tragedies, with jealousy close second, but
neither would be such serious motive force
If it were not so ridiculously easy for the man
out for killing to get deadly weapon. Fire
arms of all sorts, knives of every kind, black
Jacks, brass knackles and other appliances of
the eutthroat, the thug and the killer are avail
able for those who wish to buy.
Reputable hardware and sporting goods
stores handle no weapons but those in the
Legitimate class; still there are very few.
restrictions, and those easily evaded, upon the
purchase of guns and revolvers. Under the
present rule, the purchaser of d fire-arm must
report to the city clerk for registration The
weak point in this rule is that the purchase Of
weapon precedes the registration; thus there
IS no way of making man who buys revolver
SO to the clerk s office at ALL He may walk
off without troubling to register. The clerk 81
office has only semi annual check on the sale
of firearms, the shops sending to the office
every six months list Of the weapons pur-
chased during the period just ended.
& The supervisors by ordinance could readily
change this. They could require intending
purchasers of firearms to report to the city
clerk and register, there to be given permit
to buy the weapon. Better yet it would be to
require the intending purchasers to register
st the police station, and discretion should bel
given the police officials to refuse permits ex
cept in cases where the purchasers are known
TO begreputable, careful men.
Judging by the results-said results being
found in hospitals and morguesthe traffic inI
deadly weapons must be large in this territory,
and there is probably considerable under
ground" traffic over which neither reputable
dealers nor city officials have any control. i
It is not enough to surround the purchase of
weapons at shops with safeguards. Something
must be done to take the weapons away from
irresponsible hands which already have Sc
cured them, or the peace and order of Honolulu
are at the mercy of countless men whom anger
or booze turns mad. |
