LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE

In an interview published recently in the Juneau Empire Representative Chester K. Snow of Ruby is quoted with having said that he faNors pro- that he believed that the people of the Territory should decide for them selves if they are to have prohibition.
 Mir. Snow's idea that the people of Alaska should have the right to vote on such measures as prohibition is logical. and will meet with the favor of everybody. The people If Alaska have just as much right to set tie such questions by popular vote as do the people of the states, and there is little reason why the members of the two houses of congress should tell the peo- pie here how their moral tendencies shall be directed
 It is easy enough for congressman to vote measures for Alaska that do not affect them personally. but the broad minded members of congress should be willing to allow the people here to vote upon social questions.
 President Wilson on various occa- sions has expressed the opinion that wherever possible, the people should decide important questions for them selves. This is the attitude he has lmaintained on womeNs sufferagc It will he remembered that a few months ago the Grange in the State of Washington passed a resolution 1 asking congress to pass prohibition laws for Alaska. This was one of the many evidences that people on the l Outside are ignorant of the characte of the people of this Territory. They seem to think that on moral issues the Alaskans are not competent to judge for their own welfare
 As d matter of fact. it is probable

COKE EMPHATIC
IN ANSWER To
RYANS ATTACK
Concerning "HiIo's" Criticism
Of Naval Militia Bill, He
Comments Fanatic"

Immediate and emphatic answer has
been made by Senator James l.. Coke
to r: J. C'HilOD Ryan, whose criti-
cism OF Senator Coke for favOring
the naval militia bill was published
in the Star Bulletin yesterday Sen
atOr Coke has written the following
letter to the Star-Bulletin:
Honolulu, II. T, April ?. 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-Replying to certain criticisms
appearing in the issue OF the Star
Bulletin Of yesterday, directed against
myself as author of Senate Bill No.
81, entitled: An act regulating the
militia, ETC." / beg to say that have
never hoped to be able to satisfy the
minds OF Our local demagogues and
fanatics on this or any other subject.
For the information OF the general
public ] will say that Senate Bill No.
81 does not require compulsory mill
tary service. The bill, if the same
becomes law, would make it possible
for some of our young men in the Ter
Titory to organize themselves into a
voluntary naval militia Of Hawaii ex-
actly in the same way and under the
same regulations covering the organi-
Zation Of our national guard. Senate
Bill No. 81 is worded the same as
the naval reserve militia bill for the
District of Columbia, passed by the
Congress of the United States, and
along the same lines of the naval
militia laws of New Jersey and al
most every other state bordering upon
the sea, and is neither new nor in
the least Objectionable SO far as the
writer knows.
| have the honor to remain, very
sincerely,
JAMES L. COKE,
Senator, Bird Senatorial District.

WAR TAX AND SUGAR TARIFF.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Whoever may have the pa
tience to wade through such dry stuff
as the annual report of the secretary
Of the treasury will find that he has
included lament to the effect that
it is unfortunate (mark the word
used) that the war tax, that all hands
have been paying for some months,
is to expire on the last day of this
year, 1915. And he goes himself one
better in the next breath, and suggests
that the present limitation on the war
tax be removed, and that it be kept in
force until peace is declared (no mat
ter whether it is actually obtained
or mott in Europe.
Why not kick the war tax into the
middle of the land of the Woody and
restore the duty on sugar? By so do
ing We would not be fighting against
something that cuts both ways. In
this connection none Of US has lost
sight of the fact that there was re-
duction in the sugar tariff, in effect
just year ago, and we can hear the
rumble of something more disastrous
along this line on May 1 of next year.
Why this last act should transpire,
why the legs of the sugar industry
should be hacked at in this manner
when 1t has been clearly demonstrate
ed by the partial reduction Of the
duty that the consumer gets no benefit
whatever, and the producer is being
nailed to the cross.
The old saw that it is an ill wind,
ETC., has made good again, and though
the European war is all deplorable it
has been the salvation of these islands
in so far as sugar is concerned.
Statistics show that Al sugar plants
have been dismantled and gone out of
commission since the introduction of
the free sugar propaganda in the
state of Louisiana. Can we grasp the
situation in Hawaii if Al of her pres
ent sugar plants we're to be suddenly
knocked into state of slumber?
There is a deficit in the federal
treasury of SCI, 100000 1t is actual,
not theoretical. The people are pay
ing just as much for sugar today as
formerly and. are pongling up every
day to a war tax to make up the de.
felt. 1t cannot be doubted that if
the present war was to come to a sud-
den end there would be any amount
of skurrying to get from under"
The sugar industry in Hawaii can
be said to be in its infancy, and the
same can be said of this particular in
dustry as carried on in the continent
al states, where they have neglected
to develop the industry to a point
where We could all stand absolutely
Independent of foreign supplies of
that commodity, and had it not been
for the war, the sugar industry would,
through the removal of the protecting
tariff, be as dead as a door nail, and
there is not a nail in a door that I |
know of.
