GAGE PROMOTED
TO POSITION in
new YORK OFFICE
Local Manager for the Gregg
Company, Ltd, Succeeded
BY Earl FahIgren

c. B. Gage, local manager for the
Gregg Company, Ltd, announced to
his friends today that he is soon to
leave Honolulu, having been promot.
ed by his firm to a position in their
New York office. 1t is probable that
his time will be divided between the
New York office of the Gregg Com
pany and their factory in Hackensack,
n. j., and after few months he will
be sent to another field. =
Honolulu regrets to lose Mr.. Gage,
who has been here for the past four
years. Though native of New York,
Mr.. Gage came here from Buenos
Aires, having spent several years on
railway surveys and construction
work in Uruguay, Paraguay and the
Argentine Republic He has been an
active member of several local organ.
i.ations, including the Commercial
Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the
Rotary Club, the Y. NJ. c. A., the Ha-
waiian Engineering Association, and
he has been particularly live wire
in the Ad Club, having been chair
man of the educational committee the
past year and also member of the
roads committee
Caught by Maui Flood.
His work in representing the Gregg
Company has taken him on frequent
trips to all parts of the islands where
cane cars and portable track are used,
and he has gained a wide acquaint-
ance and many friends for his firm
thereby. Upon his most recent trip
he was a victim of the Maui flood and
spent several days in bed fighting the
grippe as result.
Mr.. Gage was accompanied to Homo
lulu by his mother, Mrs. Mary Gage
of Brooklyn. About two years ago
he married Miss Estella Barnes, who
was before her marriage economic Sec
retary of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association and who is now a
member of the board of directors of
that organization
Mr.. Gage and his family probably
will leave Honolulu next month. He
will be succeeded by Earl Fahlgren,
who comes from the factory at Hack
ensack with a thorough knowledge
of the Gregg business and clean-cut
business methods. He has been. with
the company for several years, hav-
ing been in the engineering depart
ment Mr.. Fahlgren arrived on to-
days Matsonia, accompanied by his
wife and child.

a MILLION DOLLARS FOR GOOD RoADs9


City Engineer Collins suggested Yesterday
to the Honolulu Automobile Club that rAillion-
dollar bond issue be foated to build much
needed country roads on Oahu. He backed up
his suggestion witlfsome excellent reasons and
added what to many will appear the best rec
ommendation of all-that committee of com
petent businessmen study the situation and see
whether or not it agrees with his own con-
clusions.
Two things are quite apparent in this matter
of road building the necessities of the
situation are beyond meeting by present OF
prospective revenue through the ordinary chan
nels; and that the tax payers of Honolulu are
not in the mood to approve million dollar
bond Issue or an issue in any other amount
unless sound business sense has first studied the
matter carefully and sound business judgment
calls for the bonding plan.
On the other hand, if a committee of impair
tial businessmen, advised by recognized ex-
perts, reaches the conclusion that bond issue
is advisable, there is little question that the
taxpayers would approve it. The demand fol
good roads all over Oahu is imperative. Ho
nolulu doesn't want to issue bonds, particular
,ly not for million dollars, but preeminently
Honolulu wants roads that will serve the popu

lation and attract alfto-Owning and driving
tourists.
AS a clinching argument for good roads IN
a country which hopes to attract tourists, take
the case of Florida-and Honolulu may well
study this lesson in public-spirited enterprise.
From Tallahassee in the north, across the
state to jacksonville, south to st. Augustine,
following near the Atlantic coast line to Titus
vile, on down to Palm Beach and then to
Miami, is being constructed a splendidly ly-con-
ceived boulevard, monument to the financial
determination and resourcefulness of the state.
1t is known as the Dixie Highway, and already
is beginning to attract the attention of motor
lists the country over.
The total mileage for the system, counting
several long loops, is 1858 miles, 1t is under
the control of the state highway department,
but the real moving force behind it seems to
be the combination of neighborhood highway
associations.
1t is the foresight and the public spirit of
Florida men, from the millonaires down to the
smallest 'cracker' that are making possible
this great highway, for almost the entire road
is being built out of bond moneys, and of the
remainder, the majority is contributed out
right from generous purses. In the main, the
taxpayers of Florida are meeting the expense
by the issuance of bonds. When it is remem-
bered that the state has less persons per square
mile than any other commonwealth in the
union, the financial burden is better realized
Honolulu has nothing like such problem to
tackle.
The result? Well, already motoring maya
zines and newspapers with automobile sections
are devoting columns to Florida highways, and
the big hotels of the state are carrying in their
advertising glowing statements concerning the
fine roads that Florida is beginning to furnish
the autoist The state is getting tremendous
amount of advertising that is bound to bring
thousands of tourists with autos. Florida
doesn t expect to reimburse herself in year
or two, but all of this magnificent highway is
is to be of permanent construction-concrete
or brick, the latest account says-and Florida
expects it to be in good condition long after it
has been paid for. =.
And precisely the same arguments that con
vinced Florida that good roads are good in
vestments are applicable to Honolulu.

REINSURANCE FOR THE SUGAR TARIFF.

Definitely reassuring is the cablegram pub
lished in the Star Bulletin yesterday from its
Washington correspondent, that sugar legisIa,
tion is to stand alone in Congress, and that the
date for its consideration has been advanced 10
February ID. #.@. {
There has not, it is true, been any serious
danger that sugar would be allowed to go on
the free list on May /, but the wish of some
Democratic leaders to take up the sugar tariff
clause with the so-called consumption taxes
held considerable of worriment for domestic
producers, since it promised troublesome com
plications.s -..=
A real fight genuine, slam-banging, rip
snorting old party scrap, is in prospect over the
consumption taxes, and if sugar Legislation
were taken up with them, action to suspend
the Wilson Underwood Legislation might be
DELAYED for months. And every delay now is
upsetting the industry Even a moral certainty
is not in it with the actual fact of tariff pro
lection.
The consumption taxes" include the emer-
gency war tax of October %, 1914, and the pro-
posed extension to take in gasoline, naptha,
bank checks, automobile horse power, pig iron
and allied products. This extension is favored
by the president, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and presumably by the Wilson leaders
of the house and senate tariff committees.
The emergency tax of 1914 is already under
hot fire from the Republicans and the proposal
of an extension is regarded with some misgiv-
iKgs by the Democrats of Congress. So hard
have been the raps at the scheme that many
Democrats appear to be ready to line up with
the opposition.
It is charged that the 1914 tax hit the poor
heavily and the rich lightly. Furthermore,
some of the items aroused much criticism. I'm
der. this tax soap, tooth-powder and paste are
regarded as Injuries and taxed accordingly
matter which quite rightly has drawn the
irate comment of many congressman. Further
more, the Republicans claim that the tax on
commission men and agreements to sell for
present or future delivery are excessive.
The proposal of the administration to lower
the exemptions of the income tax has also fur
nished powder and ball forthe anti-administra-
tion critics. 1t is pointed out that by lowering
the exemptions, the men of small and moderate
incomes are taxed for the emergency, whereas
no additional tax is to be placed on the incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000. The critics propose that
the rates of taxation on the present classified
tions be raised, and that inheritance taxation
be developed.
II is plain that with all the criticism of the
present war taxes and the fight certain to de-
velop over the details Of extension, the sugar
tariff, were it involved with this other legisla-
tion, would be the football of congressional poll
tics and policies. The agreement among the
majority of the Democratic leaders to consider
sugar as a separate subject and to dispose of
it before the consumption taxes are brought up
on the floor, is another factor to add to Hawaii s
Industrial optimism.

WAKE UP!

What has been predicted again and again in
the last tive years has today come to pass in
Honolulu-hotel accommodations are swamped
by the food of tourists. 1t is simply an impos-
sibility for men and women who want and are
willing to pay for first class lodging to get it.
High time indeed for the businessmen of Ho-
nolulu to wake up on this subject! Will they
get busy now and meet the situation or will
they dream along on the scale of sleepy coun-
try town far off the worlds highways?
Honolulu is right on one of the greatest of
those highways and tourists will come here by
the thousands monthly if the city will look after
them properly. If not, it might as we'll be con-
tent to remain in the somnolent country town
class.
Saying II told you so" doesn't meet the
emergency. The Chamber of Commerce ought
to take hold of theproblem and see that visitors
brought to Honolulu are given adequate ac-
commodations
