SOME FACTS.

There is nn occasion for at the indifference
of the Honolulu businessman 10 civic affairs after
last nieI1'S hearing the city charter proposals.
The hall of representatives. crowded. and almost
without exception those present were representative
businessmen of the city.
Some outstanding facts mar:ialiZrd:
l. The convention charter is opposed by the
Progressive business sentiment Of the community V.
II is frankly referred to product of politicians
and an opportunity for machine politics.
. The Chamber of Commerce is not bent on any
pet ideas theories. 1t does not demand the city
mauagership form of government. What it does
demand is the Capitalization of responsibilities
city government that knows where it is going and
why, and not merely that it is on its way.
g. In spite Of the defense Of the present charter
and of the present board of supervisors the defend
ers tacity admit that the present city government
isn't working efficiently They have plenty of ex,
plantations why things can't be done, which consti-
suites confession that things aren't done.
f. Advocates of short ballot" government pro
pose definite remedies. They are backed by the ex-
Perience of more than 400 American cities.
g. 1t is plain Honolulu has come to the point
where emporizing no longer answers for situation
steadily growing worse. We have got to reorganize
the city government to meet needs nov so pressing
that they are emergencies

DESPITELOSSES,
HAWAIIAN SUGAR
CO. DOES WELL

Owing 10 wet. cold and unfav0rasle
weather early last year the 1917 crop
of the Hawaiian Sugar Company may
be 5000 tons less than last years out
put and 5000 tons below hast years
early estimate. But since the cane
has not tasselled much and is still
growing ,IeTe as hope that tie crop
may exceed present expectations a:t
estimates. J his is enc of the many
interesting statements that were pre-
scented TO the. stockholders Of the con-
Eany al tier meeting yesterday and

come in harvesting the 1916 crop Tot
the Hawaiian Sugar Company. The
rains of January did an enormous
amount OF damage to fuming and
railroad systems and thislwas especi-
ally so with the Gay q Robinson val
ley fields. The time lost made it i'm
possible to finish grinding until well
into September The estimate had
been 29,634.75 and the total sugar pro-
duction fell to 27,90S,1S75. Low juiee1.
stormy weather and prolonged grind
ing were the principal causes.
Despite the diseouraging conditions
for production the year was highly sue,
cessful from financial point OF view.
Earnings were $1,1S9,290l6. Div;-
dends of $1,050,000 were paid and the
balance of the company was increased
from $500, 558.9T to $S3i,290,16, as
shown by the treasurer's report s..
The temperature and rainfall in the
early and best growing months have
worked against the 1917 crop, Tut. as
stated, there is opportunity still for it
to exceed estimates. Harvesting and
milling began December 6 and to jan
uary 10, 2O86 tons OF sugar lad been
made. .~
Planting for the 1918 crop was
started as usual. The young cane crop
promises we'll and with good growing
weather some fine yields are expected
next year. The report aoeS at some

the coming year.
Bonuses paid for the year were,

his snarling fangs barred like ivory
