THE POLITICS or DESPERATION.

The Democrats displaying fine assorted LOT
OF nerve in their attacks on the frontage.tltx law.
The record of local Democracy this law is as
apotted mongre pnp.
Democratic supervisors some wears ago Endorsed
tie passing of the law and the Democratic board of
1898 started the frontage tax statutes in opera
lion. They made fine, odorons mess of il. too and
M the next election drew near they began 10 hedge.
10 tempOriZe, TO sidestep and 10 duck for cover.
Thanks TO their persistent playing of politics with
this law, Honolulu DELAYED for year and half
in getting local Improvement districts into opera
ti0n.
In 1913 the Democratic supervisors Endorsed the
law because there was community demand for il.
Opportunsts from the skin inward. they lost their
courage when the inevitable howls of OF the
property began to reach the air. Thencefor-
ward they tried TO carry water OH both shoulders.
announcing every in awhile that now they were
going TO slap the law on hard and universally, and
all the while they playing politics with read
improvements for all they were worth.
The present Republican board after some trouble
in getting grip the situation, began to carry cat
the frontagetax law as il should be carried out Nat
uraliy propertyowners TO whom assessments came
as unwelcome and disagreeable shocks did some pro-
testing The main protests TO which the Democratic
campaigners have hearkened. however, come from
districts where the law hasn't yet been put in opera
ton and where the propertyowners are still hoping
they get slice Of the general fund for local im
provements. These, and a few professional politi,
clans makeup the, bulk of the protestants. And all
Of the protests put together make up only minority
of community sentiment in Honolulu. The ma or
ity is solidly for the frontagetax law.
The present attack of the Democratic stump
speakers on the frontagetax law is nothing but poll
tics. They dQnot hesitate at appealing TO prejudice
i and conniving at chicanery
"Anything to beat the Republicans" is their slo-
gan in the campaign They are playing the politics
OF desperation.

RUMANIAN'S REEERSES.

Rnmania looks like liability instead of an asset
for the Entente Allies. Her much yaunted infan-
try is utterly unable 10 stand against the Teuton
soldiers. Her artillery has proved weak compared
10 the big guns of the enemy. She has lost her
main seaport constanza, an important railroad line
and hundreds of square miles of territory in the
D0brudja district. and the Tfansyl yania front.
where she made dash into enemy country. she has
met steady disaster for -four weeks.
If the Teutons succeed in crushing Rumana. they

Slav hordes pressing down from the north.
Perhaps after their baptism of blood and fire the
Rumanian sodery will stfen and beat back the
invaders Rumanias cavalry and infantry are made
up of as fine men physically any in the European
armies. The Teutons report that the flower of the
first and second Rumanian armies has been cut TO
pieces that third of the 506008 men who first went
to meet the foe has been annhlated. As most esti-
mates of war losses exaggerated this is probably
excessive. but it is no question that Rumania has

PAYMENTS
ARELOOKED INTO
YCONSll MOROI

While on Maui Japanese Consul,
General Moroi investigated reports
that from time 10 time have appeared
in Japanese newspapers here that la
boreTs were not receiving bonuses 10
which they are entitled under the
bonus system and came 10 the conclu.
sion that most OF such reports emf
nate as result of Observation-Disclosures
OF facts or conditions. Seen BY 4
star-Buletin representative, he said:
The local Japanese newspapers
often have written about the profits
in sugar cane and the payment OF
bonuses TO Japanese laborers on the
Hama plantation. have investi-
gated the matter while on Maui and
have studied the situation. / found
there is no way for some Japanese
who are working on these plantation
to receive the same treatment in the
bonus system that other laborers do
on the other plantations. because al
Hama they are not common laborer5
employed by the plantation on wages,
but are small farmers who contract
with the plantation. They pay the
rent for the field. that they plant. they
pay the rent for farming implements
and the plantation agrees with them
TO buy all sugar cane from them at the
price Of $3.50 per ton. Therefore, II
such Japanese wish TO participate in
the bonus system with others they
must change their contracts with the
plantations"
Speaking of general conditions on
Maui he said. .~...
Among all the sugar plantations
that Inspected, Puunene plantation
is almost ideal, its system is almost
perfect, and its treatment of laborers
is the best. ! should say it is one
of the best in the world.
Japanese laborers working at Pun
meme and at Paia are treated by the
company like ones members of fam
lily. Every laborer is enjoying life
and working with good spirit.
Il often heard while was in my
office that there was some complaint
by Japanese laborers against the
planters relative to the payment OF
bonuses and it was so reported by To-
cal Japanese papers, but the facts
are entirely different All Japanese
who are working are satisfied in every
respect with their treatment by their
employers. -.
AT Puunene there are several club
houses established by the plantation
for the labofers, for amusement after
work, furnished with books and maya
zines.
There are day nurseries establish
ed by the plantation to take care OF
babies for the wives of laborers who
wish to work in the field The plan
tation furnishes two or three nurses
to take charge of these homes, and
also free milk for the babies. All sick
Japanese laborers are treated in a
modern hospital. The laborers' homes
at Puunene are such as those for
which we pay rent Of at least $l5
a month in the city; large yard in
front and rear, free water land free
wood.

ton supplies hot water for the labor

The Lord Young Engineering Com

eral residents protested against the
way the work was being carried out
According to George Collins. city en-
gineer, il is doubtful now how soon
the work will be resumed as the &C.
ment supply here is unusually low
and due to the accident to the Matson
steamer Lurline is not expected to
reach normal conditions until after

conditions, therefore, it is unlikely
that LAYING. of the pavement on Beach

ment has been laid on half the makai

LINER ROTTERDAM
TO co OUT OF SERVICE
Danger and Cost of Insurance
Said To Be Reason.

The Hollsnd-America liner Roster-
dam is 10 be withdrawn from service,
according TO an announcement maze
at the eompany's Offices yesterday The
exact reason for Withdrawing the ship
is not known, but il is presumed thst
the action was taken because OF the
presence Of mines in the North Sea
and the consequent raising OF insur'
ance rates. IL is said that the Hol-
land -Americs company pays $4,000 in
insurance for each trip made by the
liner.
The ship is now at Rotterdam and
will be interned there. She Is one OF
the largest steamers that have been in
the transatlantic trade since the war
began, and on each trip has carried
many passengers and a heavy cargo.
The officials of the company said that
they did not know what action would
be taken at the home offices IN regard
10 the other vessels f the line. The
Nieuw Amsterdam sailed from Rotter-
dam for New York on March % and Is
now considered out of the danger zone,
and the Ryndam. which struck a nine
in the English Channel some time ago,
is now laid up for repairs at Rotter-
dam.
