for taxation of improvements on
the same basis as land values.
He made vigorous campaign
while Mr.. Pastoriza merely an-
nounced his position IN two adj

The result shows how four years
experience has affected public OPP

Of the principle that taxes should

"If the japanese of Hawaii have

spent Ia the Hawaiian group, at the
Shoreham. "Since coming back TO
the States have heard it said that
the japanese in Hawaii are nearly all
trained soldiers. veterans of the Rus

enough arms in their possession to
enable them to take the islands
This may be true, but there are no ev-

anese to get enough money to support
themselves and families for the rest of

The European war, of course, had
its effect on business in Hawaii, just
as It had here in the states" CONT
nued Mr.. Williams. THE sugar in.
dustrv was badly hurt by the new
Democratic tariff, and the war has
still further damaged that industry,
but the sugar planters are continuing
to grow cane, hoping that conditions
will be better. In the Island of Ha-

group, an immense amount of sugar
cane is produced. More than 300 600
tons are shipped through Hilo each

not to be found among the hens
that go to .roost early and sleep
late, nor among the shlftless ones
that refused to work eneIgeticaIly

are the hens that keep hunting

the ones that are the first to come
