Unfair Criticism

TONGRESSMANW w. A. CULLOP has recent
~ ly stated that Hawaii does not deserve pro-
lection for her sugar industry because the plan
tations now paying big dividends a heavily
watered capitalization"
AS matter of record the capitalization of forty
four sugar plantations of January /, 1915, was
%5,4l0,l84. The assessed valuation of these prop
critics for taxation purposes on the same date was
%l ,442,656, leaving a margin Of apparent water"
of less than four million dollars.
The taxation value of the plantations is fixed by
the market value of their stock and the market
value of the stock is in turn fixed by the earning
capacity OF the plantation With only four or five
Exceptions there has never been any watering"
of the capital stock of any Of the Hawaiian sugar
plantations during the last forty years. More
actual cash capital has been put into the business
than is represented by taxation values.
Furthermore it must be remembered that in
Hawaiian practise property valuation for taxation
purposes is one hundred per cent. In many States
the basis is forty, fifty or some other per cent Of
the actual valuation of the property e.
The Hawaiian sugar producers have always
borne more than their fair share of the cost of
government In 1914 they paid taxes aggregating
26l5 on every ton OF sugar Produced higher
rate than was probably paid by any product of
any other industry of equal capitalization in the
whole United States. -.ss,,E.
Spacious and vague criticisms of Hawaiian meth
DDS and practses such as that made by Congress
man Cullop do not stand the acid test. Hawaii
welcomes fair minded investigation, but we resent
loose criticism based on heresy and preconceived
allegation. We acknowledge that there may be
differences OF political opinion among men and
that facts may be subject to varying interpreta-
tlon, but argument based on distortion OF the
truth convinces no one Criticism based on such
distortion is unfair $40 Z.

"A Shipping Lessor,

tNNE of the great lessons of the to the
~ United States ought to be the demonstration
of the value to any country doing or hoping to do
a large foreign trade of a merchant marine. Dur
ing the first eight months OF war, the American
merchant marine nearly doubled it's cargo carry
ing as compared to the cargoes of the correspond
ling months year ago, but with this it only
got a very small share of the business offering
because of the disappearance of the German freight
carriers The Norwegians, Swiss and Danish ships
got what the Germans lost. while the British
cargoes fell off a fraction. 49,.
The values OF the export cargoes carried in
American bottoms increased in the eight months
ending March 81, 1915, over the corresponding
period year ago from Sill, 100000 to $1787OO,-
0O0 the British cargoes dropped in value from
1922 10000 to $780,, 10000, while the Swedish,
Danish and Norwegian cargoes in the same period
increased from 500, 100000 to $258, 100000 The
value of cargoes exported in German bottoms
dropped from $l93OOOOO0 to nothing.
. Tbs lesson 70 be drawn from these figures is
PLAIN, but America is likely to get palmer one,
if the announced plans of the Pacific Mail are to
be carried out. If the Pacific Mail cannot operate
under the American flag it is unlikely that others
will be able to- Robert Dollar is already on rec
ord as being ready to re-transfer his ships from
the American to another flag, while Atlantic ship
owners will in all probability do likewise as soon
as the war risks have been removed. E.

Sugar Income

NURING the year ending March | last, not
~ withstanding, the reduction of twenty-five
per cent in import duty sugar brought in round
figures $50OOOOO0 into the federal treasury Not
only this by many times the largest amount
yielded by any single item in the entire list of
duty paying articles, but the return from sugar
was maintained at its normal volume at a time
when receipts from other staple articles in the
tariff list were dropping far below their customary
level
Figures just compiled show that during the
twelvemonth from March l, 1914, to March l.,
1915, the first year of the operation of the re-
tuced tariff rate sugar, the importatons of this
commodity amounted to approximately 2,246OOO
ong tons, and that the total amount of duty col
lected on this imported sugar was $40 TIA 345. Had
the rate OF duty prevailing before 1914 continued
in effect the revenue return from this volume of
importationS would have been over $68OOOOOO
or approximately $l9OO000O more than actually
I was received .&,tR
How large part sugar has played in meeting
the necessary expenses of the nation is shown
by the fact that during the past twenty years it
has brought into the federal treasury almost ex-
actly one billion dollars. The revenue from sugar
alone is capable Of providing the United States
with half dozen new battleships every year and
Of placing the nation in practically impregnable
Eposition upon the sea, ito take single item from
the field of national expenditure.
The returns under the reduced rate of duty for
the one year that it has been in effect show that
Approximately $5OOOO,000 Of annual revenue will
be sacrificed by the government with the admission
of foreign sugar free of duty in 1916. With def
cit practically certain at the close of the present
fiscal year on June 80, and the necessity of con-
tinuing large expenditures for governmental re-
quirements the further loss OF this $50OOOOOO
will add seriously to the burden of the federal
government in providing adequate revenue.

Sedsickness and Sugar

that the negroes be permitted to vote,

The minister Of finance gave Jackson
an attentive hearing, and a state con.
