The commission has been studying
the physical and financial conditions
Of the beet sugar industry, but will
make no recommendations to the SEN

The report merely will state that
American growers are being gravely

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID ST0MAcHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION

As q specialist who has spent many
years In the study and treatment Of
stomach troubles, have been forced
to the conclusion that most people
who complain Of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain. and
difficulty, is excessive acid in the
stomach. aggravated by food fermen-
tstion. Hyper-acidity initiates the
delicate lining. of the stomach and
food fermentation causes wind which
distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process Of diges-
ton. The stomach Is usually healthy

Quinn began the practise OF law In
Honolulu, 1t was freely predicted that
he would not succeed. The practise
he enjoys there today and his selec-
ton for the judgeship appointment by
the Wilson administration bellies the
prediction. And likewise. we expect
to see the scoffers of today become
his admirers after he has served as
Judge Of this circuit Possessed of
character which is not easily pliable
and mind open to truth, with q great
capacity for concentration and study,
we expect to see Mr.. Quinn make as
good a record as a judge as he has as
an attorney. This, however, only his
career on the bench will prove or
disprove.

CASH SHORTAGE
THREATENSTO
CRIPPLE CITY
First Draft of Memorial Ask
ing for Special Session
Points Out Needs

Mayor Lane has in his hands today
the first draft of the proposed mem
orfal to the governor setting forth the
reasons for a special session Of the
legislature to consider the needs o.
Honolulu.
Some time this week the committee
appointed by the supervisors to get
the memorial in shape will meet and
boil its q pages down to a more di-
gestible mass. Francis NJ. Hatch, the
new supervisor is to be appointed on
the committee to succeed X. w. Shin
gle, resigned.
In the main, the first draft of the
memorial tends to show that the
needs Of the city have increased and
additional financial burdens have been
placed en- it, both by the legislature
and the force of public opinion, with
out an adequate increase in its reve-
nues.
Relief must be given the city or
else the board of supervisors will have
to cripple the municipal government
to escape violation Of the criminal
law says the document.
Must Stop All Charities.
The board will have to be done
away with; all road work must cease;
all contributions to charity must be
stopped; all salaries not provided for
by law must be reduced, and the num-
Der of employees Of the city must be
reduced" To avoid all of this trou-
BILE the memorial asks that the gov
ernOr call a special session of the leg
tel 70 60, khr osf
Many tables of figures are contained
in the document most of them demon
strating that the expenditures Of the
city have necessarily increased, but
that there has been no corresponding
increase of revenue .a
The total amount of money avail
able for expenditure was less in 1915
than in any year since 1910, tables
show. Every board of supervisors
with the exception Of the last board
left to its successors large balance.
Expenses of every department of the
government nave increased, from
roads with it's $2S0,000 to "Clona-
tons with Its $1,000 r. p. ~ !
There Is no. possibility of the city's
income being enlarged under the pres
ent tax laws. the document points out
lit Is limited to two-(hirds Of one per
cent OF the assessed valuation.
Sinking Fund Needs. - -.
Necessary expenditures which did
not exist prior to 1915 are shown to
have amounted to $45,69S, and the in.
creases for 1916 win amount to $685.
355. Forty-five thousand dollars or
more has to be set aside each year
for several years to establish sink
ing fund, although the city has not
enough money to meet current ex-
penses. ...- H..
The sewer department is not now
on paying basis. If general sewer
tax was levied sewer extensions could
be made before pavement is laid, and
there would be immense savings.
Successful administration of the
school budget provisions of the law is
on account of conflict be-
tween Acts 8 and 80 of the laws of
1915. The frontage tax laws need re-
vision in many details that impose I'M
necessary hardships on the city and
contractors. -. =
All these things are set forth as
reasons why Honolulu needs the re-
lief to lie afforded by special session
Of the legislature. ..>
