NO BEER FOR PERSONS
WHO DON'T PAY TAXES

Associated Press by Federal Wireless)
BERLIN, May 20.--Residents Of the
little Saxon village of Bernsgrun who
do not pay their taxes will hereafter
be able to get no beer. This is the
decree issued by the city fathers, whose
patience has been exhausted in endeav'
oring to make delinquents settle the
bills against them for state, municipal,
school and church taxes They OBJ
served that men who could not or did
not pay their taxes nevertheless aP-
peared to have money to spend in the
saloons. This is now to be ended. The
names of the delinqueHts will be posted
in every saloon or other place where
liquor is sold openly, and no beer or
other drinks may be Sold to them as
long as their back taxes remain I'M
paid.

Eresh AidICnr1ip:

II Asst summer during the hot months some
IL hundred odd tenement mothers and children
were given each two weeks in the country at the
seaside through the generosity Of number OF
Honoulans and the work of the members OF the
Palara Settlement staff. Those who visited the
summer camp at Kapapau and watched the chill
dren in surf and sand, happy, sunburned and fed
TO the bursting point, and who contrasted the APP
pearance Of these little ones with that of the less
fortunate children OF the city, who could have no
seaside holiday know to what extent the benefits
of the summer camp were shared and appreciated.
This summer II the charitably inclined Of Ho-
nolulu help as hoped for, summer camp will be
established on a permanent basis, where two or
three times as many tenement mothers and tired
little children may be given fortnight by the sea,
Those who planned and managed last summers
camp have secured a hve-acre tract OF shore at
Waalua, through the generosity of Manager
Goodale of the WAiaua Plantation and OF the
Bishop Estate, the former relinquishing the lease
he holds on the property, There is a beautiful
bathing beach,, plenty of free water ready to be
piped on to the ground and splendid sites for the
various buildings To put the camp upon per-
manent basis two thousand dollars will be needed.
This will build fy7proof kitchen and dining room,
number of sleeping shelters and outhouses and
will install the water system.
Once the camp is established it will be possible
to give two hundred and fifty persons each two
weeks at the camp, at per capita daily cost Of
twenty-five cents.
The question now is to raise the $1,000 for the
buildings and the, $1,000 for the 1915 maintenance
fund. In Honolulu this should be easy, when it is
considered that the money will give nearly three
hundred mothers and babies fourteen days of
heathful enjoyment during the heat of the sum-
mer. Those who wish to share in providing this
may secure all Information required from J. A.
Rath, of the Palama Settlement. ...

The Uniform Regulation
This is the age of advertising.

GONE members of the congressional party have
- formed the wrong impression concerning Ho-
nolulus suggestion that the war department regu-
lation requiring all soldiers Oahu to wear their
uniforms at all times be modified. Some of the
speakers on Monday night, including the
Delegate appeared to believe that the desire to
shed the khaki at times springs from a dislike of
the uniform, shared by civilians and soldiers alike
which dislike fails to coincide with the pride that
should be felt in the uniform and what it stands
for
The desire of the soldiers for the privilege of
doffing their uniforms at times, however, is a
natural one and wholly disassocated from any lack
Of regard for the uniform or the service. No man,
Especially an American, desires all the time to
wear any distinctive clothing, and there exists no
more good reason why soldier should always aP-
pear in public as soldier than there is why
carpenter should forever wear his apron a baker
his white cap. The fact, too that the wearing of
the uniform is compulsory makes it irksome, de-
prving the soldier of whatever satisfaction he may
have in wearing his uniform of his desire,
while the further fact that it is only in Hawaii
that the uniform order prevails places upon this
community the whole of the dislike it has occa
stoned, something which y unfair to Hawaii
The object of the order as explained from Wash
ngton, is that this city may appear at all times
we'll garrsoned, but this appears decidedly
farfetched. Everyone at all interested knows to
a Corporaps guard just how many soldiers are in
Hawaii just where they are stationed, just what
their organizations are, just what guns in place
and practically everything else there is to know
about the strength of the Oahu garrison Homo
lulu has tried and every commanding officer Of
the department has tried to secure modification
of the order, without success. We now ask the
visiting senator's and representatives. to their
influence to secure the modification, in justice to
the soldiers and in justice to Hawaii. We will
respect the uniform just as much even if see
| it less in prominence while the soldiers will lose
none of the affection they have for the service and
| will better appreciate their tour in the Islands

Ha,uaiii's Achievements

DRESIDENT ARTHUR L. DEAN of the Col
lege of Hawaii presents herewith mastery
review of the sugar situation and enters into an
exposition of the reasons why there can be no
substitution of industries in Hawaii without enor-
nous waste of invested capital
These reasons are economic and not political.
The sugar industry has been of slow growth in
Hawaii 1t has succeeded because it has had to
meet hard knocks. The men who have developed
the industry and have made good in it have APP
piled a combination of science and business eff
6ciency to the solution of their problems.
What they have made is theirs by the might
of achievement, not because the American people
gave it to them in the form of protective tariff
on sugar. That merely supplied the opportunity.
If the farmers of the sovereign State Of North
Dakota - the State which holds the record of
values of agricultural production among all the
States-had produced much wealth per cult
waited acre as planters have here in Hawaii,
that State would now support population of
over twelve millions; and ought to grow crops
worth $500 per acre.
This is not all tariff. 1t is efficiency. 1t is not
simply being given an opportunity. 1t is learning
how and then doing it-and doing it better than
others might have done
1t has never been the policy Of the American
people to penaze agricultural production, else the
congress OF these United States would not appro-
pirate twenty million dollars year for the pro-
motion of agricultural efficiency throughout the
land Hawaiian agricultural production is ten
times better than the best mainland practise What
good purpose will now be served if Hawaii's ten
senators and forty congressman say to the men
who have accomplished this stupendous success
''You have done too we'll. We will cut off your
right hand. Judging from what you have formerly
accomplished you Hawaiians ought to do as we'll
with one hand our mainland farmers can with
two"
Hawaii supports a population of nearly quar-
ter of a million on one-third of million acres of
agricultural land. Our people are well-fed, we'll
housed, well-clothed. We maintain public school
system not excelled anywhere the mainland.
We try to be good citizens.
Hawaii spends its earnings in Hawaii. This
land spells 'Home' to those who have made Ha-
wall what it is. There is no absentee landlordism,
and almost no poverty here. The citizens of Ha-
wall are INDUSTRIOUS We are proud of what we
have made OF ourselves and of our opportunities
and there is Il" more loyal American community
under the Flag
Hawaii asks Of the American people that they
do not take away, without adequate recompense
the earned rewards of half a century Of hard work

Press Agents For Mars

|HNE outstanding feature OF the great war now
~ raging is the complete reversal shown by
those heading the activities of the various armies
in the matter of publicity Like everyone else
these days. Mars has found it necessary to have
his press agents When the great conflict started,
the various generals in the field treated the war
correspondents only less severely than they treated
captured spies Not only woe the representatives
OF the press kept away from the battlefronts, but
they were excluded from the war departments
chased away from lines Of communication, flung
into the military prisons and given to understand
that this was one war that was going to be fought
in secret
Then, of sudden, Great Britain found that it
was necessary to get into the papers in order to
recruit her army. Germany found that through
her policy of suppression she was fast losing what
ever sympathy she might have in the United
States. France awoke to the value of publicity
for her cause. Servia discovered the need of rs
sistance from abroad in the handling of her fami
and plague situations. Russia from the beginning
was the more willing to allow correspondents with
her armies because she needed her allies to know
more about what was going on than reached the
world through Berlin, Vienna and Constantnople
Turkey hired the leading members of the Ananas
Club early in the game and set them to work on
official dispatches. sa
Thus we find the newspapers and magazines
today teemng with frst-hand descriptions of bat
ties, life in the trenches, life in the belligerent
capitals. Thus we find German publicity bureau
as complete and we'll organized as the German
commissariat Thus we learn of the inside activ-
titles of the French and British in their holding Of
the line across Belgium and France, descriptions
written by correspondents personally conducted to
the most advanced positions Kaiser and Crown
Prince Belgian King and French commanders,
K. Of K. and His Isamic Majesty not only meet
the press men, but talk volubly. The press has
come into its and the war lords have been
forced to recognize the necessity of publicity.
A fair sample of the extent to which the Ger
man government is going in its campaign of pub
licity is afforded at the present time in of the
local moving picture houses, where "the German
side of the war; is being shown by the movies.
These pictures have been carefully staged and
Wilhelm himself plays the part of star performer.
German troops are shown moving gleefully to
battle, firing their guns at the entrenched enemy,
dining in comfort and otherwise demonstrating
that the war for Germany is only sort of mag
nihed picnic. OF course these pictures were not
taken anywhere near the 'front.' nor do they present
any features of the real work the troops in the field
are doing. But they serve their purpose of pub
|licity.

Kuhio's speech at the chamber of commerce
banquet did not surprise local hearers much as
it probably did the visitors We of Honolulu know
the tendency of the Delegate to allow his tongue
to run away with him. His main idea on Monday
evening was, evidently, to impress upon the con-
gressiona visitors just how independent he is OF
the sugar interests, and at the same time to inn
press upon the sugar interests just how dependent
they are on him. Otherwise Kuhio is a pretty
good fellow.

Capitalizations and Values

WHAT is surely an i-considered statement,
w contained in the address read to the visit
ing congressman on Monday evening at the cham
Der Of commerce banquet by Governor Pnkham,
declares the capitalization laws Of Hawaii the
rottenest eXtant" inasmuch as corporation stock
may be wholly wind or water or both" Taken
in connection with the general tone of the Gov
ernors address it gives a wholly erroneous i'm
preston regarding the corporations Of the Islands,
AS matter of fact, UP to the present year. the
sugar plantations Of this Terrtory-which form
the greater part of the cOrporations-paid taxes
on property and other valuations practically equal
to the total capital stock The assessed values
were $l7l,00OOOO; the total capitalizatOns were
$l75,O0OO00. These figures certainly disprove
any suggestion of wind or water in the plantation
corporation stock This year, owing to low sugar
prices last year and the consequent shrinkage in
values, the assessed valuations fell somewhat fur
Their below the capitalization totals Next year
unless free sugar tumbles values in Hawaii the
assessors will in all probability place the actual
values of corporation property back to their old
figures

TARIFF AND WAGES.

Thomas B. Reed: Where two ma
tions have equal skill and equal ap-
pliances and'a market of nearly equal
size, and one of them can hire labor
at one-half less, nothing but tariff
can maintain the higher wages, and
that we can prove. II there be two
bales of goods side by side made by
the same kind of machinery and with
the labor of human beings is both
Of the same degree of skill, and if the
labor of one bale cost only half, for
example, as much as the other, that
other bale can never be sold until
the extra cost of the costlier labor is
squeezed out of it; provided there is
an abundant supply of the product of
the cheaper labor. If the bale with
the cheaper labor of England in it
meets the bale with the dearer Ameri-
can labor in it, which will be bought
at cost of production? leave that
problem just there. The sale of the
English bale will be only limited by

chase bill: Il am apposed to this bill.
1t is inexpedient, untimely, unneces-
sary, dangerous and contrary to the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment. The only action needed to re-
habilitate the American merchant
marine is to defeat this measure, re-
enact the marine laws that were on
our statute books prior to 1916, pro-
vidipg for preferential duties on goods
carried in American bottoms, and
change our commercial treaties with
number of foreign nations, which we
can do by giving years notice, or
pay a subsidy where and when neces-
sary and give the preference to our
own ships in carrying the mails, as
other maritime nations do. The bust
ness of government is to govern, and
not primarily to engage in private
business enterprise that brings it
into competition with its own citi-
zens. The engaging of government in
private business is justfiable and
right when the enterprise can be bet
ter conducted by the government for
the benefit of all its citizens than it
can be conducted by private enterprise
and in conditions of emergency. The
entering of the government into the
shipping business at this time can
not be justified on either hypothesis,
