Those Who Fail to Turn
in Reports

At least 275 owners of firearms sold

TO six months Imprisonment apd
$500 fine.
A report of the sale Of firearms from
January 20 to July 10 made to the

clerk. today, shows that four firms,
T. H. Davies & Co. E. y. Hall & Son,

York Store. sold 437 weapons during
the six months. Only $50 individual
reports showing possession of 162
weapons were filed. Many Of these

longer be possible, for weekly report
blanks are being sent to the dealers
containing columns for the names and
addresses of purchasers and the re-
port of sales will be checked up with
the reports Of purchases each week.

PAPER
Will STAY HIGH
II
. when WARENDs
Assistant Secretary of Great
Paper House Tells Why
Costs Go Up

Paper has gone up, is still going and
will stay up after the war. says J.
David ZelIerbach, assistant secretary
Of the Zellerbach. Paper Company OF
San Francisco, said to be the largest
jobbing house OF paper in the world.
He came TO Honolulu in the Niagara
with Mrs. Zellerbach to visit until the
Matsonia leaves, July 26. He was
here once before for a short time
about two years ago on his way to
Japan and around the world.
Many Honolulu concerns know to
their sorrow how much paper costs
since the war, but possible most OF
them do not know the real cause for
the rise. IL Is not common knowledge
that scarcity OF rags has doubled and
trebled the price OF high grade papers
and the lack of wood pulp and the
increased cost of labor have shot the
price up to the clouds in the common
paper line.
Rag Receipts Cease.
Not only was the receipt OF all rags
from Europe cut off by the war but
also those in the United States have
been bought up for other purposes, &C
cording to ZeIIerbach. He says that
the majority Of rags for paper came
from Europe and that this supply has
ceased that those rags found in the
United States have been diverted to
more lucrative production of guncot-
ton by q new process and that the
United States Is lucky to have paper
at any price. -&..-
practically all the paper produced
in the United States could be sold to
the warning countries at a better fig
ure than obtained at home" Zeller-
bach explained, "but the American
factories insist upon protecting their
home trade and filling those orders
first at a lower figure. However.
there are no quotations effective more
than "a hours and II isn't q question
with a buyer OF how much the paper
will cost but whether be can get 1t at
all. Even Sweden's enormous book
fAflp supply has been cut off by Eng
land & -. - ~ : 4 .s4se, q ; ~ - -
Chemical Shortage Also Affects.
Chemicals used In the better. pa
pers came chiefly from Germany and
have trfpied in price, cclors that once
sold for 80 cents q: pound now bring
ing as high as $50 IL they are to be
had at eli, and, some of the scarlets,
deep puppies and e. as are unobtain-
able. Some paint I IN. in the United
states who had large stock OF col.
ors on hand have made fortunes since
the war started. r. ~
Zellerbach predicts that the price
or paper will remain higher after the
war Is ever because there will be a
greater demand for it then and be-
caise il was selling too cheap, he
says, before the conflict. The cheap
er forms of paper have not increased
in price in proportion to the more ex-
pensiye varieties, he says:

ing the ownership Of the miIlsite were
q settled fact. This was told Gov
ernor Pinkham by Manager II. p.
Faye of Kekaha while the governor
was on Kauai investigating the Kappa
homestead difficulties.
The letter read at Tuesdays meet
ing of the land board is dated Homo
lulu, May 16, and Is from Lindsay 4
Lymer, attorneys for the Kekaha
Sugar Company. 1t is addressed to
Land Commissioner RiVenburgh and
in part reads as follows:
Letter Contains Offer
"On behalf OF the Kekaha Sugar
Company, Ltd, we hereby request
that you sell to said company 40 acres
of land situate at Kekaha, Kauai, on
which the sugar mill OF said company
now stands, together with the reVer-
sionary interest that the territory
owns in said sugar mill.
"Kekaha Sugar Company hereby Of
fers for said millsite of 40 acres, to-
gether with the said reversionary in
terests in said sugar mill, the sum
Of two hundred thousand dollars
($200. 0O0)."
After explaining that the land de-
sired is owned by the territory and
held by the Knudsen estate under a
lease to V. Knudsen, which expires in
1920 and that the lease from Knudsen
TO the company expires in 1920, a
month before the territory's lease to
Knudsen runs out, the letrer says:
Gives company's Plans
Should the territory sell the mill
and millsite to the plantation, the
plantation is prepared, at a large ex-
Penditure Of money, to Immediately
proceed to make q modern mill, with
q capacity to handle efficiently all
crops raised"
If the plantation is again to have
these lands it will have a mill suffi
eient for its needs, Or if the land II
homesteaded there wilt be a modern
and properly equipped mill ready to
purchase and handle the crops of the
bomesteaders.
The territory IS receiving as rent
from all Of the Kekana lands only
$4,000 per annum, and that will be the
only revenue the territory will re-
ce;ve from said lands until the terlni-
nation of the lease four years hence.
The acceptance of our offer OF
100000 Pc" would appear to be
in accord with sound business prin-
'ciples.' .,

PAYING THE PIPER,

With the labor congress of Great
Britain on record as opposing legisla-
ton for compulsory military service
and calling on members of the labor
party IN parliament to vote against
the compulsory service bill, and with
Premier Asquith threatening to retire
from the cabinet if the conscription
bill fails Of passage, it may well be
said that Great Britain faces a grave
crisis at home in the midst of war
abroad.
To those unfamiliar with the state
of affairs which has prevailed in Eng
land for many years the attitude of
trades unionists on various matters
bearing on the prosecution of the war
may appear to be one Of highly I'M
patriotic obstinacy. 1t must not be
forgotten, however that England is
now reaping harvest of her own
sowing and Of generations of cult
vation
The chief aim OF government in Eng
land has been the cultivation of prop
CONSERVATION
human beings. Glass" divisions have
been encouraged and forced on the
people to a degree unknown in more
democratic America. The working
class" has been separated from the
upper classes" by deep and wide
gulf of prejudice and snobbery, with
the result that the working class"
has been literally forced to a sense
Of class consciousness that is now
working TO the evil of British solid
arity.
Patriotism is not promoted by op-
preston, and in the final analysis the
British working classes" are hardly
TO be blamed for lack of patriotic ar
dor. The best fighter is the one who
has something TO fight for. That may
account for the good showing made in
the British fighting ranks by the aris-
tocratic and wealthy classes. The
government OF England has been for
them; why should they not be for it
But no student Of modern conditions
in the two cities, who has contrasted
thrifty Berlin with slum- Lon
don, would have the hardihood TO ad-
wise English workingmen that their
lot will be harder II Germany con-
$quers England. On the surface, the
average English workingman can see
Sno advantage to accrue TO him or his
Through the triumph of England in
this war, and he can see many dis
advantages accruing in the way of in
Creased burdens of taxes if the wal
goes on. From the standpoint of self
sinterest, therefore, which is really the
basis of patriotism, the enthusiasm o.
sthe English workingman for the wal
Is not deeply stirred
1t is an unfortunate circumstance
for the British government to fine
Itself in at this time, but one which
might have been foreseen. Havin,
Glanced for centuries to the tune o
social injustice, England is now pay
ing the piper
