COHEN TALKS TO
iron WORKS MEN

Declaring that IT was his intention
TO be a mayor who would guard the
interests Of all the people and that he
would especially make an effort to
bring capital and labor closer together
for the harmony and prosperity of the
city, J. c. Cohen, aspirant for the no.
mination of mayor, spoke to mora
than 200 employees of the Honolulu
Iron Works at noon today.
Candidate Cohen called attention to
the lack of permanent roads and side
walks and to the fact that the state
of war made it necessary for all the
people Of Honolulu to rally under the
flag to conserve the resources Of the
territory. He spoke at length on the
finances or the city and pointed TO the
fact that II was time that the affairs
of the city should be conducted ae-
cording to modern business methods.
Meetings in the interest Of Cohen
will be held this evening at the Mol
lifli schoolhouse and at Mokauea road
in the ninth precinct Of the fifth dis:
trict.

NOFALLNGOFF
IN TAX PAYMENTS


Z War conditions and high prices. OF
living have not affected the collec-
ton of taxes to any marked extent,
according to officials at the territorial
office this morning. who said thar
about the usual number OF payments
for property taxes are being made.
Taxes become delinquent next Tues
day .xsss. KS Ss.slg as3'.. s.

PROPERTY holders are paying early Big
property holders prefer to wait until
near the end of the time limit, prob
ably to let their money work as long
as possible before going into the ter
ritoriaI Golfers. ! StS = IT,. .s- ~,
AutomobiIe owners probably hold
the record for delay in making pay
ments. 1t was said today at the tax
office that very few men had paid
their 1917 auto taxes so far. No sea
son is ascribed for this, but in view
of the new law allowing seizure OF the
vehicles for payment it is an inter
esting. fact. Army, officers, probably
because. they believed some RELIEF
from taxatio6 would be afforded by
the recent Legislature, are prominent
among those who have not paid.

ORDER GARRISON
SCHOOLS CLOSED

Garrison school bells have ceased to
jingle. Through an order received
this morning at army headquarters
from the war department, every gar.
rison school in the entire military or
ganization of the United States Is or
dered closed. x
That the order is far reaching in its
scope is evident from the fact that
every military post in the country has
a garrison school for officers. Need
OF these officers for putting the big
new army into proper war status Is
probably responsible for the order to
close the schools.
In the mainland the six months
course is divided so as to place the
indoor work In the winter and the
outdoor work in the summer. Here
this order is reversed, and the Indoor
work was just ready to start. In fact
1t was to have started on May /, hut
was held up temporarily for instruc
lions from Washington. -,
It is probable that the school work
will not be resumed until after the
present war, at which time the status
will likely be changed to a consider.
able extent through the changes in the
country's military system.
