AND
TIL

The Secretary of the Treasury has
the Bourbon faculty of learning moth
ing and forgetting nothing. He still
insists upon the government ownership
panacea for American shipping in the
face of uncontrovertible evidence that
it would be futile. There may be need
for Improvement in transportation ia
cilities to South American ports.
though those engaged in trading to
them have repeatedly declared that
there is no difficulty in getting the
goods carried when we have them to
send. But if private capital sees no
profit in supplying this need, the gov
eminent cannot expect to make any.
Moreover, as the debates on the ship
purchase bill plainly showed, any gov
eminent scheme would be a discourage
ment, not a help, in the development
of trade. 1t is not complimentary to
the wisdom of the Secretary or his
chief that a crusade for government
owned shipping should still be carried
on against the protests of practically
every competent authority on the sub
ject.-Public Ledger.

AMERICAN STOCK GROWERS
PROTECTED BY THE WAR

Consul General Bray, sydney, Aus
tralia. in his resume Of trade eondi
tions in that commonwealth for the
year 1914, says that when the United
States placed meat upon the free list
IN it's 1918 tariff it was confidently ex-
pected that Australia would do a large
business with the American Pacific sea
board in both canned and frozen com
modities. ''The year 1914" he writes,
"opened with every prospect of this
expectation being realized. Several
Australian producers visited the Unit
ed States and excellent results were
being achieved when the war anne on
and interrupted the course of business.
Embargoes were put on meat exports to
countries other than Great Britain and
it allies The trade, therefore, was
much depressed at the years close. The
absence of refrigerated tonnage, ow-
ing to the demands of the war for
troop ships, seriously s.ftected it, and
even canned goods space in ships to
Great Britain vas mate tally curtailed.
MI. Bray notes hat the Australian
States are considering legislation still
further restricting meat exports and it
is therefore out of the quetsion for
Australian meat exporters to pay any
further practical attention to the
American market at present. Two hun
dred million pounds of fresh meat was
imported into this country during the
seven months of 1914 preceding the
war, Australia then standing third on
the list and just getting limbered up.
All will. agree with Sherman's defni-
ton of war, but the European horror
has done much to shield the farmers of
this country from a free trade purga-
tory.

several weeks ago. Under this plan
Col. Spalding would extend the plan
tation line, which ships from Kealia,
to serve, government and homestead
lands The other scheme is that of
Lihue plantation to extend its line.
Thus the government lands may be
approached from two almost opposite
directions 1t is the Lihue line thai
is the subject Of local negotiation now.
E. NJ. Cheatham, Fred r. Tracy and
{. f. French, homesteaders IN the
district needing railroad service, came
to Honolulu and have had a confer
ence with the governor They will
probably return tonight They have
nothing to say for publication.
1t is reported that Cot. Spalding
called a meeting of cane-growers a
week ago and offered new contracts,
to pay 81 per ton for cane for every
cent in tne sugar price; that is, with
sugar at four cents, he would pay 81
per ton for cane. =.

kauai RAILROAD
ACTION EXPECTED

Plans for the industrial railroad on
Kauai to serve Kapaa homesteaders
are taking shape quickly now and
some definite developments are eN-
pected within the next few days, ac.
cording to a report at the capitol
building this morning.
Land Commissioner Tucker SAID
that J. F. G. Hagens of H. Hackfeld
& Co. agents for lihue plantation.
and Frank Z. Thompson. attorney rep
resenting the plantation, will go to
Kauai tonight to look over the situa-
tion there. Governor Pinkham said
that he has outlined plans to the plan
tation on which an agreement ann
early action may be secured. 1t was
reported today that Lihue directors,
after an important meeting, are in
clined TO look upon the recent devel-
opments as pointing toward a.feasible
plan for the construction of this road
The details Of the railroad scheme
have been much discussed for Several
months past and are rather complex.
In fact, two railroad schemes have
been IN process of discussion. One OF
these is ne plan of Col Z. S. Spalding
OF Makee Sugar Company, as outlined

WHARF-TAXLAW
Will BE ASKED
OF Legislature
Harbor Commissioners See
Urgent Need of Additional
Income From Freight

The harbor commission again will
ask the legislature to enact a wharf
age-tax law fixing a tonnage rate on
incoming freight, to be paid either by
the shippers or consignees. 1t is the
preparation of the dataIon which the
commissioners argument is to be
made that is in preparatidn now, and
they figure that this data will prove
their most powerful allygy
The proposition brieflykis that the
commission wants the territory to
realize a larger income from its
wharves, to enable it to construct con.
crete piers hereafter, instead of the
wooded structures employed at the
present time.
One of the commissioners has been
accommodating statistics for many years
back which are expected to show that
after five years service newly built
pier requires an additional expendi-
ture equal to 80 per cent of its orig
inal cost in repairs, to bring it up to
standard condition again In other
words, the wooden wharves deterior-
ate so per cent in five years time,
and for every year after the first five
