COUNTY COMMITTEE RETAINED.

Nothing drastic was done by the Republican Committee in its
revision of the rules of the party relative to the territorial and coun-
ty committees and the precinct clubs and their powers and jurisdic-
ton. The county organizations are retained with a member of such
committee from each precinct, the territorial committee is supreme
in all territorial affairs but is not to interfere in campaigns and cleo
tions for county offices.
1t appears that a breaking down of the county committee in
Honolulu was responsible for the proposal to eliminate county COM
mittees which was abandoned in committee for the wiser and better
plan of building up the county organizations to fulfill the purposes
for which they were intended. AS a matter of fact such breaking
down of the Honolulu Committee probably came, to a large extent
from the tendency of the territorial committee to confuse or combine
county affairs with territorial since Honolulu is the capital. There
has always been a tendency in Honolulu to look upon the territorial
offices as Honolulu offices to be filled by residents of the city anC
county of Hnolulu.
Such a view is borne GU. from the published interview with A. L
Castle in a Honolulu paper where he said that the Maui and Kaua
county committees were functionng well but that in Honolulu it was
necessary to revivify the county body.
AS this paper said when the proposal was preached about two
weeks ago, the county committees are an essential part of a party
organization, and in each precinct there must be some one person a
least who shall be responsible for the organization there. Such il
the view that prevailed with the rules committee at the convention

CURRENT ASSESSMENTS FAVORED

Unpleasant, dsagreeable and often costly experiences are some
times necessary in order to convince where clear and lucid arguments
have failed and so it comes that the taxation plank in the Republican
platform is interpreted by Governor Harrington to mean, among
other things that current assessments ultimately shall be the basis
for current taxes"
Before the last session of the legislature committees from the
County Of Maui and the Maui Chamber of Commerce outlined a list
of desirable legislative changes and one of the most important sug-
gestiOns made was for the basng of current taxes upon a current
assessment, not upon the valuation of the preceding year. The bill
was introduced but it failed of passage and then came the lesson that
has to be learned.

WITH SAFETY

The outstanding feature of the market for bonds during re-
cent months has been the heavy buying for permanent in
Vestment.
Notwithstanding that this demand has resulted in a sub
stantiaI advance in prices for bonds in general, the present
outlook indicates a gradual trend toward the level which pre-
vailed some years ago, particularly al applied to issues Of
the better grade, which still yield a liberal return.
1t is doubtful if it will be possible for several years to pur-
chase bonds at prices which will yield the return now pos
sbe.

The old plan and the one which now prevails works finely when
business and industry are constantly on the upgrade but breaks down
as soon a a reaction sets in. During pre-war and war times for a
number of wears past there was an increase in assessed valuations
wear after wear and no difficulties in the way of meeting government
al expenses from taxes were encountered. Then-away went the
sugar market and like the rest of the world Hawaii encountered de-
creasing values. reduced incomes from business enterprises. The ar
guments that had been advanced on Maui were eXemphfed forthwith.
This county has been able to get along as well as it has done only
because of two special taxes that were permitted, the special school
building tax and the special tax for the support of sanitaria and
hospitals. Other counties, especially Hawaii County were not so
fortunate.
Revision of tax methods is necessary and the plank in the plat
form is a proper one. Such revision should be a sweeping one and
should provide that a county-may determine for itself its own needs,
raise such finds by fixing the rate for itself, and that the territorial
needs should be met in addition to those of the county, briefly that
county needs shall not ever and always be subordinated to those OF
the territory.

The outlook for trade remains good,

The country is approaching the period
when business recovery ought to be re-

New-York tribune., 1922-11-13


The domestic trade situation, as in
previous weeks, was no motivating
/ force. The chief elements Of news
were the continued crumpling of the
| financial structure in central Europe,
and at home the cataclysmic election.
An attempt was made by experimental
! spectators to determine the effect
Of the political shift on business and
! finance.
! In interpreting the 1uctuation in
prices the underlying technical posi-
tion Of the market must be studied,
since it has been primary cause Of
the setback. The reaction is away
from the excesses Of the early Oc-
tober speculation for the rise, which
twas based largely on unwarranted as
sumption of benefits to shareholders
resulting from a wholesale declara-
tion of stock dividends by corpora
tions with huge surplus funds. The
motive for the epidemic has been to a
large degree fear that reconstructed
| Congress might devise legislation to
tax undivided surplus. To the security
holder stock dividend adds no real
wealth, and a 100 per cent stock divi-
dend Is approximately equivalent to
giving man two five dollar bills for
one ten. Moreover, before the stock
dividend boom at the market place
prices Of stocks had been rising with
out substantial interruption since late
in August, 1921, and a counter move
ment, such as we have been witness
ing, seemed, if anything, long overdue.
The Immediately practical questions
are, How far Is the reaction likely to
GO? and Were October prices the high
est that will be obtained in the present
broad upward movement? Answers to
the queries are the task and business
of the spectators, and here only a
reference to some Of the factors that
should influence decision will be
made.
unquestionably the election raises
new considerations, but the drift to-
ward progresslvism (if it proves to be
an intelligent, constructive impulse for
change) Is not necessarily bearish.
AS matter Of fact, banking inter-
ests in the East, especially, were dis
pleased with such phases of the recent
legislative program as the tariff. The
effect of tho new political lineup on
taxation (the possibility Of placing a
larger proportionate burden on corpo-
krations), on the provisions of the trans
portation act of 1920, which are favor
able to railroad earning power, and on
the Federal Reserve system will be
eagerly observed. Toward the close of
the week intimations from Washington
that the new Congress might put an
excise tax on stock dividends and re-
store modified excess profit tax
threw scare into the speculative COM
rnunity. It would be unfortunate III the
new balancing Of power should result
IN disposition to treat complex eco
nomic matters in other than a scientific
spirit, and thus far there is no reason
to assume that there will be unreason-
