Looking at the question in the broad
er way believe the $3.50, 600 proposal
should carry. That is, | believe the
city should get the start possible I'M
der the issuance of bonds to the
amount possible the first year. 1t
may not be necessary, and probably
will not be, to make further issues
The whole question resolves itself
down 10 whether the city and county
is going to stand still for year or go
ahead | do not believe, and no law
yer will assure us, that we can get the
tax rate increase effective for 1917.
We can raise the tax rate to take eff
feet January I, 1918, but what Homo
lulu needs is money for improvements
next year. That, it seems to me, is
the deciding factor in favor of the
bond issue plan,
AT the same time this must be
regarded as my personal opinion.

figures to show both sides of the case,

other" - - ..... ~. .:...

JUST ALABOR :.
RALLY With NO .
Definite AIM

Although the meeting of union steve
dores. their families and sympathiZers
at Aala, Park on Monday evening ap-
peared to be largely for the purpose
of voicing protest against alleged dis
elimination as regards the employ,
ment of Japanese labor, several of the
speakers, seen by the Star-Bulletin to-
day, refer to the gathering as "a labor
rally with no definite purpose,
There was nothing put before the
meeting, nothing was advocated and
there was no action taken says At
torney l.. l.. Burr, Who spoke as a rep
resentatiye of the iron workers union.
1t might be said that the main pur.
the audience the ideas and principles
OF unicnism." ~. ....:=. .
Aside from Attorney Burr, among
the speakers We're L. l.. McCandless,
Democratic candidate for delegate;
John II. Wise and several Hawaiians.
The rally, which began at :; 80 O. clock,
was attended largely by Hawaiian
union stevedores, with scattering
of Japanese. 1t was preceded by a par
AIDE in which was carried banners
inscribed with stock notices of the
union. ..
Discusses Unionism Generally -.
F. Attorney Burr discussed unionism
in general and the objects unions
are seeking McCandless confined his
remarks to what he said was a gen,
eral trend on the part of the entire
world to better conditions for the lab
oring men, pointing out the stand TAX
ell by the present administration in
the passage of the eight-hOur law and
the child-labor act He advised the
men to use their brains instead of
brute force. -.. -. -.
Will Ask Increase, Rumor H..
1t is reported from Japanese sources
that are deemed reliable that the
Japanese laborers working on: the
waterfront for the Oahu Railway Com
pany have determined to ask for an
advance from $130 to 81 day. About
three months ago they were given an
advance of 10 cents a. day and then
said they were perfectly satisfied.
Their position is different from the
regular stevedores in that they have
constant employment. ~
Officials Of the railroad company
stated this morning that they had
received no demands for further wage
increases from any sue hemplOyes.

Conclusion 40.
The question of bond issue versus
an Increased tax rate resolves itself
down to two important points.
First.-under an increased tax rate
will the funds be available prior to
January I, 1873? .-
If available Immediately after the
legislature passes the necessary
amendments to the tax law then a
bond issue is. not economy. ~.
u not available prior to January !,
1918, then a bond issue is imperative
to allow the water and sewer depart
ments at least sufficient funds to
make alterations and improvements.
Second. Under a bond issue 40
miles of city streets and 10 miles OF
belt road may be observation-disclosures
viding you can secure the labor-in
three years, while an increased tax
rate will complete only 27 miles OF
city streets and 10 miles of belt road.
The difference in construction dur
ing a period of three years must off
set the difference in cost between con-
strhction by an increased tax and a
bond issue. ~. ~. -.
It is true that good roads reduce
maintenance Is this maintenance
cost sufficient to offset the interest
payments? -: 49,. #
Solution .... -. f..
Allow the issuance of bonds for
(sSS0,0 00) water, sewers and parks for
the first year, and raise the tax rate
same to take effect January /, 1918
for additional improvements.
while in the solution presented
above E..propose $3S0,O00 bonds Tor
water, sewers and parks for the first
year. that is the minimum advisable,
comments Superintendent Murray.

As a measure of exacting a penalty
on Germany for these expenditures,
Crammond suggests that the allies
should pool their indemnities and
present them in lump to Germany,
also. that each allied power should
undertake to impose.
"A war debt on all German and
Austrian manufacturers
"A war dept export duty on all ex-
ports of raw materials to Germanic
empires"
"In addition" says Crammond,
the maritime powers should ompose
supplementary war debt dues on all
German and Austrian shipping enter
ing their ports in all parts Of the
world. THE proceeds from these du-
ties should be paid over by the allied
powers to the war debt commission. .
