doubled.

THE PROPOSED
TAX ON SUGAR

Sidney Ballou, the representa-
tive of the H.S.P.A. in Washing
ton, writes in Facts About Sug-
ar" concerning the proposed tax
of two cents a pound on sugar
substantially as follows:
at is proposed to put sugar
into the same class as coffee. tea,
and gasoline, which are more or
less looked on as luxuries. The
expert report says: The prelimi-
nary test of the availability of n
commodity for such tax is
whether its use is so widespread
and general, and it's distribution
so well established. that neither
will be substantially curtailed by
the imposition of the tax, and
the tax will normally be passed
on to the consumer in its exact
amount.
Here we have the easy as
sumption that the tax will be
passed on to the consumer. Now,
those who know the sugar busi-
ness know that such tax as
that proposed cannot normally
be passed OH to the consumer.
"The refner, when he comes to
sell his product cannot dictate
the price. That is a matter of
supply and demand. He can say,
4 want 20 cents for my sugar,
and must have that price The
purchaser can reply: Then you
will have to keep your sugar. l
don't want it at that price That
his sugar had cost him that much
cuts little figure. During the
week of October one of the re-
finers tried to sell sugar. at 13
cents, which had cost him CON
siderably more, and found that
he could not dispose of the avail
able supply.
"The first effort of the refiner is
to pass the tax backward to the
producer, rather than forward to
the consumer. He makes the
basis of his business the price he
can get from the consumer, and
says to the producer: Il can give
you only the selling price, less
the tax which | must pay
"In addition to this, what is
going to be done in regard to the
sugar which is not refined at all,
but goes into direct use as raw
sugar? Also, what about the
large beet sugar product which is
not subject to special refining
process?",
1t is manifest that the whole
matter of any proposed sugar
taxation calls for a great deal of
very careful study, and should
be approached very carefully.

WHAT SPECIAL
SESSION DID

Among the more notable ac-
complishments of the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, the fol
lowing may be mentioned:
Teachers Salaries Raised
Along the conservative line of
Senator Rice, with an emphasis
on the better pay for the lower
salaried teachers. Detailed be-
low.
The Japanese Language Schools
Senate Bill No. 30, with some
minor amendments, was passed,
and thus, this thOrny and deli
cate issue is solved for the time
being any way.
Decreased Taration
A very welcome concession in
the line of tax relief is the act
which makes Il clear exemption
of 81 800 on bona fide fee simple
homes, with a farther exemption
of one third valuation between
81, 800 and $4,000, and a two
thirds valuation between $1,000
and 5000. Also an exemption of
5000 for household furniture.
The Purchase Of Washington
Place
Which was finally passed on
the justification that it was good
business, even though it should
prove not to be Immediately neces-
sarS. In no time the property
would be worth far more than
$4,000.
The Conformation Of the
Kdhulu Bonds
This is a case parallel with our
own Nawiliwili project. The
bonds will be taken up ON Maui,
and it is very desirable that the
money be secured and the work
90 on.
The various emergency apprOp-
riations necessary for the con
duet of the government, were
passed without objection.
The Salary Schedule
AS it was amended by the sen
ate and passed by that body the
measure provides for the follow
ing salary schedule of increases
/. To all assistants and teach
ers in high schools and junior
high schools, S25 per month.
>. To all certificated teachers
and assistants in elementary
schools, S25.
3 To all teachers holding
merely first or second years

/. To all uncertified teachers
first year, an increase of $50
more than one year, $50.
). All territorial, normal and
training school teachers, includ
ing heads of departments, assist
ants and special teachers, $50.
6. Principals of elementary
schools, those now receiving Sl2,
or less, an increase of SO; those
receiving more than $125 and less
than 5000, an increase Of S15.
Z. To supervising principals
no increase.
s. To secondary school prin
cipals, including norma, school
no increase.
o. To substitutes the following
per Giem salaries; Secondary
