MUNICIPAL ECONOMY.

The auditor 5 books today show the elty and
county of Honolulu $147,3l724 I'm the hole. "
That is the book showing for the present
board of supervisors after one year in office.
1t is made up of moneys actually spent IN
excess of revenues received during 1919 and
moneys appropriated during 1915 but still
either unspent or unpaid.
This amount $147 ,000-must be deducted
from and paid out of the 1916 revenues or the
present board will leave office with deficit,
not only thoroughly bad piece of business but
one which the previous Democratic board, with
all of its blunders, did not make.
Just what sort of financial policy-if any
has been followed by the present board Of sup
ervisors is hard to say. Whatever it is, the
board is spending far in excess OF its income.
To wipe out this deficit, improvements in 1916
out of the general fund will probably be cut
to minimum.
The board cannot claim that it unknowingly
rolled up this deficit The auditors office has
drawn attention again and again to the over
appropriations that were being put across
willy-nilly. That however, has not stopped the
city, fathers Either by some process of sta
tistical seIf-hypnotsm they have persuaded
themselves there was plenty OF money to spend,
or they went headong on their expensive Off
cial career trusting somehow that the future
would allow them to reimburse the treasury.
The only apparent way in which they can
recoup now is to cut out improvements and adj
ditions to equipment and be niggardly in car
rying on municipal functions. Certainly the
figures will probably show that the running ex-
penses of the city have increased considerably,
under their solicitous care.

ABUSING FREEDOM OF DEBATE.

The floor of Congress is decidedly not the
place for discussion of any phase of the Euro
peap war except those which bear directly upon
the United States. This country is not at war
with any of the belligerents, nor has it severed
friendly relations with any. 1t is time for
private utterance to be measured with discre-
ton and for public utterance to be strictly neu-
trail Congressman Gardeners speech yesterday
is not detailed in the press dispatches but if it
provoked to rebuke members of his own party
it must have been Incorporate and unwise.
Discussion of issues in which the United States
has direct interest is allowable, though even
here there is danger of arousing passion and
prejudice, but the freedom of debate should not
extend to taking sides for or against any bel
ligerent because the official position of a con-
gresham inevitably makes such discussion un-
neutral in spirit if not technically.

The year closes with trade in generally good
condition. There is no abatement of activity
in the steel industry and the railroad outlook
is better than for several years, not only as to
traffic but also as to the attitude of public
opinion. The big trunk lines are reporting
large earnings, both gross and net, and their
chief problem now is to remove the embargo
on traffic caused by the congestion OF export
freight at the Eastern seaports. Our second
