TARO SCARCE IN KONA
DESPITE HIGH PRICES

In a recent trip to the southern

cutive officer of the territorial food
commission: reports that eleven Ha,
waiian families were visited where
some very good taro patches were
found but in the majority OF cases
there was a marked scarcity. Some,
says Mr.. Child, were too lazy TO raise
it; others had previously raised it tC
sell but were discouraged by low
prices a'year or so ago and stopped
A short time ago these people we're
glad to receive $50 a bag for taro
Now that it is $3.50 a bag they are
sorry they have none to sell. If told to
raise more they ask how much can be
assured them and when told 81, they
are not satisfied and do not want
to grow it. However. three of them
will start growing taro and probably
two others, Owing to the scarcity OF
taro many Hawaiians are mixing flour
with the poi and although they do not
like the combination they would rath-
er do it than raise more tarO.

.ARMYLAUNCHES
Fight AGAINST
DRUGS AND BOOZE
Effort Will Be Made to Stop
Sales of Soldiers Clothing
to BootIeggerS

Drastic steps to run to earth per,
sons who are furnishing soldiers OF
the Hawaiian department with liquor
and narcotics have been begun at
Schofield Barracks to spread ulti-
mately throughout the whole depart,
ment.
The army will have the cooperation
of the United States district attorney,
the federal marshal, the newspapers
and the police department in It's cam
paign against the people carrying on
this unlawful trade. In addition to
rounding up persons who sell booze
and drugs to soldiers the persons who
purchase clothing and shoes from the
enlisted men will be fought to light.
Many of these sales are made, it is
said, so that soldiers may obtain
money to purchase the things that sat
isfy their cravings, and the system is
pointed to as one of the most detri-
mental now in existence for the army.
Every pair of shoes sold by a SOL
der and bought by civilian makes a
hardship on just one soldier who has
to march to the front, it is claimed.
Every piece of equipment that the GOV.
eminent can use for the purpose is
being sent to the front.
Cooperation is asked from the civil
ian population in putting a stop to the
whole practise. Cases should be re-
ported to the authorities. The cam.
paign<is in charge of Colonel Heard
and Captain Weiss.

"DRYS" HAVE new
PAN IF PRESENT
PROGRAM FAILS
Would Bar Booze From Inter-
state Commerce if Federal
Amendment is Defeated
BY c. S. AL5ERT)
Especial star Bulletin Corr sspondencsJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Those who
seek the nationwide elimination OF
the rum evil have discovered a brand
new method OF attack II the penang
constitutional amendment fails OF
adoption. Another line OF assault Will
be taken up the minute present plans
prove futile,
1t is proposed to enact law barring
all alcoholic beverages from interstate
commerce. This is to be made
alright and so worded as to protect
not only the existing dry states, but
extend its observance to all parts OF
the union. 1t is believed measure
can be framed which can be approved
by the Supreme Court.
A bill of this character, prohibition
leaders say, can be easily passed IN
both branches of congress. A bare
majority would be sufficient, whereas
the adoption Of q constitutional amend
ment requires a two-thirds vote IN the
senate and house. In addition the
resolutfyh must be ratified by three
fourths Of the states, requiring at least
two years time to accomplish the de-
sired result.
1t is certain that a majority can be
found for any form Of prohibition leg
islation. The lives of public men de-
pend on their adherence to any prop
osition limiting the use Of liquors
They dare not face their constituents
at home II they do otherwise than
vote dry at all times and seasons.
Leaders believe the two-thirds vote Is
assured, but absolutely feel confident
that q majority can be secured Win
out the least difficulty.
Those who favor the achievement OF
prohibition through the power OF
congress- to regulate interstate COM
merce have looked up precedents'
They find the lottery business was
destroyed through precisely this form
of LEGISLATION. The Supreme Court OF
the United States upheld the anti'lot'
terry law. This act will be taken as
a model in preparing bill to bar IL
uuors Of all kinds from Interstate snip
ment. By so doing it is claimed the
question of constitutionallty cannon
be raised and upheld.
Prohibition leaders from all sections
of the country are here ready for the
drive on congress. They will work
first for an amendment to the Fed
eral constitution and then fall back on
the interstate commerce plan as q sec
ond line OF offensive campaign. SEN
ator Sheppard and Representative
webb will act as spokesman Tor the
anti.saloon organization in the senate
and house.

J IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS GET
SUPERVISORS OK.

Five new improvement projects
were launched at the meeting of the
board of supervisors last night. They
are the paving of Hustace and Clayton
streets and Archer road, the paving
of Liliha street, the widening of King
street for several blocks waikiki of
PunchbOwl street, the extension of
Bethel street from Hotel to Beretania
street and the paving Of Beretania
street from Punahou to the King
street extension.
The proposal to pave the Hustace
street district was introduced by
Wade Warren Thayer in a petition
signed by the Alexander Young Es-
tate, California Feed Co., Levers &
Cooke, the Oahu Ice CO. and others.
According to the figures submitted by
Mr.. Thayer, the improvement will cost
$17,375, which means an assessment
of $40 front foot.
Under the plan of Mr.. Thayer the
city and county would pay one-third
of the cost, but Supervisor Petrie OBJ
jected to the division, as Hustace
street is not a main thoroughfare. AS
a result Mr. Thayer agreed to canvass
the property holders to ascertain if
they would be willing to pay larger
share.
Supervisor Arnold introduced a res.
olution lor the paving Of Liliha street
and such connecting and adjoining
streets as may be necessary. This was
passed and the engineer instructed to
prepare the preliminary plans and
resolution of intention.
The preliminary plans for the paw
ing of Beretania street from Punahou
to King street extension were present
ed by City Engineer Cant!n. The cost
of the improvement will be $92, 1906,
with added costs of $3&22.5O for curb
ing and $6635O for acquiring land, The
assessments against the property
holders will amount to $50 per front
foot and 80 cents a foot for Curbing.
A petition signed by go per cent Of
the property holders who will border
Bethel street If it is extended FROM
Hotel street to Beretania street was
filed with the board and requested
that preliminary plans and specified
tons he prepared. The matter was
referred to the city and county en-
cineer for action
Because the Rapid Transit plans to
double track King street in the near
future the board last night asked the
city and county engineer to prepare
rlans for the widening of the street
from Punchbowl street to the Catholic
cemetery to a width of Al feet
throughout At some places it mar
rows to 40 feet. 1t was estimated that
the cost of the work will be $500.
