TRYING TO LASH PEOPLE INTO FURY

In It's awful tragedy o; last Saturday San Francisco has a full need
OF sympathy from all over the nation. Everybody deplores the act which
brought about the death OF so many and with but raee exception trusts
that the authorities will bring to swift justice the authors and perpe-
traitors OF the outrage. but they will not agree with the San Francisco
Examiner that there is any connection between the crime and those
who do not favor intervention or war with Mexico. Most of the people
who are against preparedness are against it on moral and scTptural
grounds and they are no small part Of the people OF the country. The
outrage committed in San Francisco is viewed by them with adherence
and they will resent the innuendo, a imputed by the Examiner, that
their position or expressions inspired the act
1t 5 also so with those who hope and believe that the Mexican
trouble can and will be settled without intervention or var, and no mat
ter what effort the Examiner may make or what it may charge they
will not sc far ose their sense OF control that they will allow themselves
be swervcd by its lashngs. The TRADE OF the Examiner is merely a
play upon their feelings and done to arouse their passions to the extent
that they will accept that papers propaganda in the settlement OF the
Mexican question. But the Examiner viii never accomplish its purpose.

How peurle it is these days to pick up a Republican paper and read
taking advantage of their Thanking privilege and using it t o further their
campaigns. When the fact is that the system was first inau2urated by
the Republicans and used to their hearts content for thirty o forty
years, and not only that, they pressed it to the limit when the inc APP
preached for the big railroads to weigh in for their yearly contracts and
thus gave those corporations an opportunity to pull down a great deal
nor money than they really earned. But that was me Oft the methods
OF paying Tor the support the railroads gave them.

NATIONAL CHAMBER

WASHINGTON, ID. president
Wilson has accepted an invitation to
address the fourth annual meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States which is to be held in
Washington next month. This an
nouncement was made by John H.
Fahey of Boston, president of the Ma
tional Chamber, following a confer
ence with the president of the White
House. Mr.. Fahey predicted the most
successful gathering in the history of

Pointing out the fact that the Cham
Der Of Commerce of the United States
has grown in less than four years until
1t now has 700 affiliated organizations
in every state in the Union, not to
mention Alaska, the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Hawaii, Mr.. Fahey said the
forthcoming meeting would be CON-
mon forum for business men to dis
cuss the very biggest pending ques-
tons affecting our commerce
II is expected that delegates from
foreign countries may be present, in
asmuch as American Chambers of
Commerce In Paris, Milan, CONSTANT
nople and Berlin are members of the
organization. The two newest bodies
are the American Chamber of Com.
merce for Brazil. the first from South
America. and the American Chamber
or Commerce of China in Shanghai.
It was said that commercial pre-.
paredness would be a subject to re-
ceive the same earnest attention
from business men who are to assem-.
bic at the forthcoming convention that
military preparedness is now receiv.
ing from the people at large. The ses-

INTEREST FOR
LOAN FUND MAY
BOOST TAX RATE

Though definite decision has not
yet been reached by Treasurer c. ].
Mccarthy as to the territorial tax
rate for 1915, the treasurer stated
this morning that the rate will be
either 127 per cent or 20 per cent.
The treasurer received word from
Maui this morning which completes
the estimates of necessary expenses
for the year.
Treasurer Mccarthy expected to
have the rate ready to announce Getl-
nitely today, but a small item OF
$500 in the expenses of Honolulu was
brought in late for consideration, and
has been referred to tie attorney
general for an opinion.
This $500 is interest on tn $1O),,
900 turned over to the county through
the territorial loan fund and also a
portion of interest on the sinking
fund, which the auditor has held
out from the county's portion of the
1915 taxes. r..
AS the tax rate was fixed in jan
uary last year, and as the loan fund
item of 100000 was not provided by
the legislature until April the $500
was not considered in last years levy.
Treasurer Mccarthy is wondering
therefore whether he can consider
this amount in the present levy, thus
increasing the tax rate very slightly
over all the islands, and has taken up
the question with the attorney gencf-
al for an answer.

out that as the countries fronting on
