THAT GHosTLY EXCISE TAX.

Ranquo's ghost, which kept bobbing up in
opportunely to bother our late friend Macbeth
has nothing on that persistent rumor of an ex-
else tax on sugar. 1t, too, will not down. Just
rs fast as one denial is made, up pops some
body in Washington with the assertion that
en- einternal revenue tax might could, would

The latest rumor is given some length Of dis
eussion by Washington correspondents. Sen
ator Simmons, chairman of the finance com
mittee of the upper house, was quoted about
two weeks ago as declaring that in his belief
the treasury should be helped out by an excise
Consumption tax on sugar. The correspond
ents appear to have questioned him at length
since he points out a number of articles which
should be similarly taxed and others on which
present taxes may be raised
Senator Simmons admitted that he has not
proposed the excise tax on sugar to his COM
mittee but intimates that it will be perfectly
logical way of raising much-needed revenue.
The best information that local people in
terested have been able to get is that the in
ternal revenue scheme will not get very far
with the present Congress. The resourceful

This report has very recently been filed with
the war department, and we reiterate that vet
aran officers of the guard who believe the re-
port is gravely inaccurate as to fact and abso-
Iutelv misleading as to conclusion have an en-
tire right to ask that their statements be also
filed. For what Lieut. Whtener has said Of
necessity must affect, if it has any effect what
ever. the future of the National Guard and in
particular the future of its head.
Furthermore, the fact that bill is before
Congress to federalize the office of commander
of the National Guard makes the Whitener re-
port very much of the present. Pages of that
report are devoted to this subject and to the
necessity of retaining the present commanding
general And more than this-the Whitener
report in printed form is being used as main
argument for the passage of this bill. Its use
in this manner makes it more than depart

few can see it. This report, with it's many
paragraphs teeming with charges of politics
under Col Jones, is in substance COMPRESSION

Some mention has been made of it as econ

to be. But those responsible for it and for it's
present use were the ones who destroyed the
confidence. Instead of being sent under seal
and solely for the war department it was issued
in printed form in Honolulu, and if the Star
Bulletins information is correct, was printed
by order of territorial officials. Not only it's
existence but its contents were known in terri
torial official circles Territorial officials in
tended to make use of it in the future, and this
