Of
ARMORY FUNDS IS
MUCH Regretted

Profound regret was expressed to-
day by Speaker H. L.. HOlstein over
the action of the senate in eliminat-
ing armories for the island of Hawaii
from the loan fund bill.
Since the beginning Of the legisla-
ture the speaker has watched Nation
81 Guard matters with keen interest,
and especially the move to get money
for armories on the Big Island.
eff this legislature win not build
armories on the other islands," says
Holstein, 'the enthusiasm of the
young men entering the guard will
be dampened.
"A building like an armory. especi-
ally in the outer districts, win serve
70 draw all classes to the colors with
the knowledge that they have place
to co.
Speaker Holstein has not intimated
that. he win take any steps toward
the ultimate revival OF Hawaii arm
DRY appropriations in the loan fund
bill. The loan fund bill is due to
come to the house within a very
short time.

TAX UPON
SUGAR PLANNED

Mail advices received by the Plant.
ers' Association yesterday told OF the
fact that Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo has suggested the levying an
excise tax of one cent pound upon
all refined sugar, the tax to be col.
lected from the refiners. This ap-
plies to sugar refined from imported
sugar as well as to duty-free sugar
and does not attach until after 1t
has been refined. Its effect Will be
to raise the price which the con-
sumner pays and thus it may bring
some curtailment in consumption as
the householder will seek to econo-
mise. ..-.-..
The excise tax of one per cent on
refined sugar which has been sug.
gested by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo as means of raising federal
revenues viii have absolutely no ma
terial effect on the raw sugar crop,
Georg Rodiek. president of the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association.
said today The tax will be collected
at the refineries and they in turn
will simply add the one cent to the
retail price of the sugar, or in other
words the public will have to pay
one cent more for its sugar
This tax is to be placed one i'm
ported as well as domestic sugars.
according to word received by Ro-
dick, in order to preserve the pres.
emit one cent tax against Cuban sugar.

APPROPRIATION
BILL WILL BE
hI|gKEHANGED

Many Important changes in the ap.
preparation bill, including a complete
alteration of the form of the measure,
will be made by the finance committee
OF the house of representatives before
1t finally reports out.
The finance committee expects to
complete its work on the bill tonight.
The many changes that have been
made may necessitate reprint, and
1t was announced today that a report
may be expected either Friday or Sat
urday
In the first place.. the finance COM
mittee has agreed to change the ap-
preparation bill back to its customary
form. AS it came from the senate,
the measure fixes Individual salaries.
The committee feels that considerable
more leeway should be given as re-
CARDS salaries, and that minor salaries
should be left to the discretion of
heads Of departments rather than hav-
ing them fixed by the legislature.
The second important change is the
cutting OF the socalled emergency ap-
preparation from sIO0. 900 to $50, 900.
This Is the fund which takes the place
OF what used to be the governors
contingent fund. The reduction OF
this fund Is. however. only tentative.
That the finance committee is dis
cussing q restoration of the. contin-
gent fund, placing it in the hands
of the governor with certain restric-
tons, has been the talk of the house
for the last few days, but it was an
ncunced today that, as yet. no definite
decision has been reached on this
point.
