Under the new parole system recent
ly adopted by the board Of industrial
schools. So per cent of the usual sec
ond termers''-that is, boys released
from the reform school at Waialee and
sent back again for other offenses-
will stand by their agreements and
behave themselves. in the opinion OF
SuDt. Frederick Anderson.
The new system, details of which
were published in the StarBulletin s
exclusive story Saturday, goes into
effect Immediately and, from now On,
inmates OF the school who earn 5000
credits for good behavior, and obedi-
ence of rules will be paroled with the
choice of going TO school or work.
They will be firmly bound by an
agreement that they viii behave,
and any violation Of the agreement
will mean a speedy return to the
school.
Those boys on parole will report to
Parole Officer W. J. Scott, who is
also secretary Of the board. II takes
somewhat less than year for boy
to earn 5000 credits if he behaves.

DEMOCRATS Object
TO new INCREASE
OF SUGAR TARIFF
But imperative Need May Force
Restoration of Payne-Aldrich
Rates; Consumers Tax En-
tirely Unlikely
ey c. :. ALBERT

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondencsj
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. A.
Sugar appears TO be held as reserve
force In all the plans thus far proposed
for raising sufficient revenue TO meet
the promised deficit of 5000 0,00o, 900.
All suggestions regarding additional
taxation on that article are purely ten
tative and brought forward by legis.
lators OF lesser prominence, who will
Lave little TO do with shaping final
results. Numerous other articles, in
cludlng coffee and tea, are given pref
erence when the subject Of increasing
the dntiable list is mentioned. This is
due TO the fact that the Democrats
were pledged TO free sugar" becom.
ing effective nearly q year ago, and
do not care TO recede from that posi-
ton more than is absolutely necessary.
The chief proposal concerning sug-
ar Is that Of increasing the present tax
Of 1 cent per pound 20 the former rates
carried by the Payne-Aldrieh act. The
Republicans would join the Democrats
in any effort looking to the accom-
plishment of such legislation. 1t
would be a triumph for their protec.
tive tariff doctrine. The Democrats
do not care to afford the Republicans
such ground for qualification and
growing II Il can be avoided.
The plan TO impose consumers
tax on sugar. payable at the refineries,
frequently is broached but meets with
little favor. Senator simmons and
ether members OF the finance commit.
tee are unalterably opposed to this
idea. They realize this tax must be
paid directly by the consumer and
would add TO the cost OF the poor
mans breakfast For this and other
sentimental reasons they are steering
aHay tom a cpnsumer,s tax They
prefer e, rinse the money BY almost
any other method. TEey would eyehi

coffee up % level With sugar, as
viewed from 9 purely domestic basis,
before further taxing sugar. In add

CoDgressmen In
Favorable Mood
Towards HAWAII


Writing from Washington to the ed
itor Of the Star-Bulletin, Robert W.
Breckons, Republican national com.
mitteeman, who is working on several
pieces of legislation with. Delegate
Kuhio, says:
I'VE find very favorable news on the
part Of congressman towards ouT
'home-rule' campaign, and while the
bills introduced may not go through
owing to more important business, II
will not be on account of any ami
mostly towards us. There seems to
be an inclination to favor us in every
way"
He adds that the delegates recon-
mendations are listened to with def
erence On tariff legislation he says
that it is not unlikely a tariff may be
placed on coffee and an increased tar
iff on sugar.
