Change In Taxation
System Is Forecast
By New Treasurer
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, Dec. Hawaii may
soon have a new system of assessing
and collecting its territorial taxes
said A. Lewis Jr., this morning on
taking over the treasurership from
Delbert E. Metzger. The new treasur-
er discussed taxes and taxation at
length declaring the subject a prob
lem that requires the most careful
consideration.
Hawaii is passing through one of
those cycles which, in the composite,
make for the law of averages" said
Lewis and continued: THE dropping
line started here a little earlier than
it did on the mainland. AS almost
all of the larger ace here did
not over-extend their business, we
should recover here more quickly
than they will on the mainland. Sign
posts indicate the way to turn and
the road may not be very long and
tarduous.

Russian Peasants Gladly
Trade Horse for Box
of Matches

STOCKHOLM, March 30.-Russian
peasants south of Moscow gladly sell a
horse for three boxes of matches or a kilo
of salt, it is declared by persons said to
be in touch with conditions in the interior
OF the country.
Observers cite this state Of affairs as
the cause of the eounter-revolution in
March which, they say, began to take
definite form in January. JnwleldlneSS
of the Soviet administrative machine, the
differences among the Bolsheyist leaders
and the fuel crisis with consequent stop
page of transportation and lack of food
are given as the reasons for the subversive
movement.
Discomfort, which was prevalent
throughout Russia during the war period
but which was concealed in the presence
OF the invading enemy, could no longer be
repressed when the fighting men returned
home to find want and distress.
Revolt SmOIders.
The first signs of revolt against the ex-
listing order are said to have been appar-
emit at the Russian tradeS-union congress
in Moscow last November. There were
further evidences of dissatisfaction in
the eighth All-Russian Soviet congress,
which convened in splendor at Moscow last
December. These symptoms of reaction,
it is stated. were unapparent on the sur
face, but made themselves felt among
those behind the scenes. Harmonious
resolutions were adopted, but the attack
came from a quarter whose Importance
could not be doubted.
In this eighth congress, the metal
workers and miners unions, led by
Schliapnikoff, urged the characterization
of the government which, it was charged

was military and bureaucratic Schllap-
nikoff also demanded that the food admin
stration be placed entirely in the hands
OF the trade unions. This was PLAINLY an
attack against the Communist executive
committee and the highest Soviet authori-
ties.
Press Attacks Government.
More recently the press of the country
has shown signs of greater freedom and
has not hesitated TO attack policies OF the
government which, it is said, has in
trenched itself by appointing thousands
OF petty officials, Press controversies have
reached animosities between leaders. For
instance, Trotzky and his followers are
declared to be set upon pOllcy OF ma
/ tionaliZation of trade unions, whereas
Ienine believes it wiser to maintain the
independence of the unions. apart from
the government, and to use them as tram
ing schools for Communism. And there
are numerous other groups which, 1t Is
stated, are bent upon other projects, re-
vealing a tendency to destroy the former
unity of front in Russian policy.
Within recent weeks the transporta-
ton of coal from the Donetz valley has
grown steadily less. The production was
between 100000 and 100000 tons monthly.
but only about 10000 tons were loaded
appropriation by subordinate Soviet cor
poTations or councils.
simultaneously with the reduction in
the coal supply, there was an almost com
plete cessation of delivery of wood In
addition to this, the snowless winter and
the slaughter of horses in 1920 added to
the difficulties of local transport.
Lack of fuel resulted in the shutting
down of rail traffic. According to Soviet
newspapers, no trains are running on Sc
| lines and on the others only rudimentary
| schedules are being maintained
! Little hope for improvement is held
out unless supplies of naptha, stored al
