Knen of Free Sugar

TT HERE is an insinuating quality in the various
i Statements that icome from Washington as
to the possibility ofthe setention Of the sugar duty
says the Boston Transcript Of September |. 1t is
a plausible supposition that public sentiment is
being sought on the question whether il is better
to have free sugar after May, 1916, or to arrange
series of special taxes to make up the deficiency
that will be occasioncd by the abolition of all
duties on the sweet commodity. At present, sugar
which, under the Payne-Aldrich tariff annually
yielded about $6O00ooOO in revenue, is paying
rather more than thirty. &c..
A namelcss Treasury official" whose views are
set forth by the New York Tribune says he cannot
sec how the government can get along without
this thirty million in addition to the reenacted war
tax. II funds not provided from these sources
then the government must go on piling up def
cit. Already, when two months of the current fis-
cal year are about completed, the gap between
revenue receipts and expenditures is twenty eight
million to the bad. As July and August are not
very active trade months their revenue results
may not afford criterion, but it is pretty plain,
nevertheless that the indications for at least keep
ing down the deficit to its present figures are not
hopeful unless some new measures adopted to
that end by congress. ,s
The is the cause Of the treasurys woes in
two In the first place it reduced the total
OF our imports by nearly In the last
fiscal year, which of course that the custom
houses turned in much less cash then expect
ed to the treasury. Secondly miscalcuaton as to
the length of the war led to the enactment of war
taxes which will expire by limitation in December
and which must be reenacted and kept in operation
if the deficit is not to attain enormous proportions.
Had the tariff been "sashed" less recklessy by the
Democratic congress, had that body listened to
Mr.. Underwood's plea to keep receipts in mind in
the midst of its revising fury, we should be much
better off today, though probably the treasury
would have to fall back on internal revenue for
large part OF its income.
The problem that will confront the administers
ton from the very moment that the congress con-
venes is serious enough of itself and will be still
further complicated by the determined demand of
the nation for higher degree of military and naval
preparedness The administration will have to
choose between raising more revenue either by
retention of duties about to be abolished by spe-
cial taxes which today sufficiently 'onerous
or by issuing loan.
No unthinking partisanship should be allowed
to embarrass it, but the fact remains so clearly
that Democratic ingenuity cannot conceal it, that
the source of the present treasury trouble is found
in the ruthless slashing of the tariff If to
strengthen the treasury the administration decides
to retain the sugar duty it is that cheap break

morning will have its appearance indefinitely post

This fact will not prevent the President from
going ahead with his national defense program nor
should it. Asgsoon Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels have naade their recommendations, the
cabinet will thresh them over The President will
then confer withsthe chairmen of the house and

ons, in order to enlist the support of the Demo-
ratio leaders The Brogram having been agreed

Nl1EkE arc reports IN circuiatlOIl tpat tne sugar
G men, at their meeting on Saturday morning,
,discusscdsthc shipping situation IN the broad as
pect Of its general influence on the prosperity of
Hawaii and came to the conclusions that the neces-
sity for more passenger service forttne Coast-to-
Honolulu trade makes it obligatory upon them
to meet the request from the Great Northern Pa
ci6c Company for guaranteed small percentage
Of the Coast bound freights. -. -.
On the other hand there are reports IN cireu-'
ation that Cal Stone representative OF the Great
Northern Pacific has been given everything but
definite assurance that the steamer Great Northern
will be given sufficient freight even TO shows the
good will of the local shippers and to evidence
their desire to have this magnificent and fast liner
Oh the run.
Nobody in position to give an authoritative
statement on the situation it stands is doing
any talking The average Honolulan must wait
and see how his interests are being handled W
those who are in position to make the addition
of the Great Northern to the passenger service
of the Islands possible or impossible. 49,.
The Advertiser is inclined to the belief that the
sugar men Of Hawaii are following out the policy
that what is best for all Hawaii is best for them
With the question of the sugar tariff in the bal
ance it would he unpolitc for the sugar
to reverse themselves and refuse to recognize the
right of the average citizen Of the Islands to what
lever benefit properly sustained tourist traffic
would bring.
| 1t would be greater political folly to rebuff
the offer to help Hawaii at this time of power
full a combination as the Jim Hill interests. The
| sugar men Of Hawaii are not going to be so fool
ish as to lose the influence of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific at Washington at this
critical stage in the history of the fight for tariff
on sugar They are going, rather, to increase the
r. fhnca
day stand in relation to the Islands, md will do
so in perfectly legitimate manner, by making the
interests of Hawaii the interests of the Hill cor
porations.
1t would be fairly inconceivable that the sugar
men of this Territory, with so much at stake,
should prefer to make enemies rather than retain
friends

There is considerable demand for

MOLOKA| CHINESE
|SUNDER ARREST

All Yon, a Chinese resident of Pukoo,
Molokai, will arrive in the Claudine
this morning under arrest and in charge
of Deputy Marshal Otto r., Heine. Al
Yon was arrested at Pukoo. yesterday
on federal warrant charging him with
having a large quantity of opium in
his possession. He will be given a
preliminary hearing probably this NOR
ming before George s. Curry, United
States commissioner and, if he is held
to answer to the charge, his case will
probably be taken Immediately before
the special grand jury, which is now in
session.
The case was worked up by Otto A.
Berndt, deputy collector of internal re.
venue, who left for MoIokai a week ago
last Saturday. Berndt, while ostensibly
looking up other official business on
MolOkai, quietly carried on an investi-
cation at PukOO which resulted in the
arrest of All Yon yesterday. He wire
lessed Marshal Smiddy on Monday that
he had the goods on his man and
Deputy Marshal Heine was sent from
Honolulu with the warrant of arrest.
The traffic in opium at PukOO and
other MoIOkai villages is said 10 have
been conducted in a VIGOROUSLY open
manner. John F. Haley, collector Of
of internal revenue here; WIS quietly
tipped off in regard to the situation Oh
