MARCH 30. 11107 Honolulu The Seventeen to one in favor of Honolulu seems Whole Thing, to be the basis of tho division of the general appropriations for the territory as shown from Senate Bill No. 62 introduced by Senator J. M. Dowsett and now before .the Legis lature for their approval. That the peoplo may see just what is to bo done with the tax payers money we give the items in full. They are; Completion of Nuuanu Dam and Reservoir No. 4 $!0,000.00 Improvements to Nuuanu Reservoir No. 1 35,000.00 New Reservoir at Kaimuki, Complete 35,000.00 Extension of Cast lion Mains 25,01)0.00 Distributing System for Upper Knlihi 00,000.00 Installation for the burning of fuel oil at the Kalihi Pump ing Station H ,000.00 Extension Water Works. Kamuela, Hawaii 1,500.00 Shed, Government Wharf No. 2 (two story) 45,000.00 Retaining Wall around Government Wharf No. 3 45,000.00 Dredging remainder of Kilauea Slip 50,000.00 Wharf along one side ana across the end of Government Wharf No. 3 80,000.00 Retaining Wall along side and across the end of Govern ment Wharf No. 1 40,000.00 harf along one sido and across the end of Government Wharf No. 1 50,000.00 Shed Government Wharf No 3 (one story) 38,000.00 Extension of Wharf System Hilo-Reconstruction of Government Wharf 15,000.00 Government Buildings, Honolulu, Administration Build ing, Supreme Court and Judiciary Building 276,500.00 Total $1)00,000.00 From this it will be seen that $883,500.00 is asked for Honolulu and $10,500.00 for Hawaii while the other islands are left in the co'd without a cent although there are public improvements as badly needed on some of the other islands as there aro on Oahu. Do the human swine of Honolulu mean to suck the life blood from the other islands forever and eternally? Is there any good reason why the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai should pay for the re servoirs, pipe lines and pumping stations for the sole benefit of Honolulu. Is it any wonder that the members from the other is lands revolt at the unsurpassed gall of Honolulu in asking the other islands to pay nearly a million of dollars for her benefit while not a cent is proposed for the improvements of the other islands Is it any wonder the members from the outer islands tamed down the bill to appropriate funds for the Promotion Committee when such greed is manifested by the Honolulu members even if the bill was a good one. Any one who knows any thing of a republican government knows that such items as water works and sewer systems are local affairs and should be paid for by the localities requiring them and Vhat they have no place in general appropriation bills. The members of the legislature from Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai are to be congratulated on the firm stand they have taken against this wholesale robbery of the taxpayers of the whole territory for the sole beuefit of any locality and if they continue to do so they will have done more for the benefit of the territory than has been done by any of their predecessors. An Impending A recent ruling of the Attorney General of the Crisis. United btates that it is uniawiui lor any in dividual or corporation to assist immigration but that states and territories may do so, will be found the most serious blow to the Americanizing of the Territory that has struck tho islands since annexation. The Territory requires thousands of laborers to carry on the work of the plantations and must depend upon labor from abroad and as this labor has been brought here principally from Europe and Asia by tho planters the supply has been kep"t up to the re quirements of tho industries here. The ruling of the Attorney General will end all of this aud it will be but a short time until the labor here will be almost entirely composed of Japanese who would soon have the whole labor situation entirely in hand and dictate terms that would make profitable cultivation of cane in the islands an impossibility. A way out of the difficulty should be considered and such action taken that will prevent a condition that would bo unbearable to the white and Hawaiian citizens. Higher taxes for the purpose of pay ing the transporation of white laborers would bo a great burden upon the middle and poor classes of people and should be avoided if possible. A specific tax on the corporations that would bo the most benefitted would probably be cheorfully paid by them even though it be unconstitutional. The matter is one that demands careful consideration and prompt action on tho part of the legislature or we may all be driven to the wull in a short time. Advertiser makes The Advertiser of the 20th editorially False accusation, condemns Representative A J. Gomes o! Maui for signing a report favoring tho appropriation of $25,000 for tho Promotion Committee and then voting against his own sig nature. The Advertiser is usually correct in its statements and fair in policy but in this instance it was radically wronsr. As a matter of fact Representative Gomes did not sign tho re port in question and had as much right to vote against the measure as any one. While the measure in question was one that should have received the support of the whole delegation it is more than probable that the attitude of Honolulu in preventing tourists from leaving the citv limits has caused the members to defeat tho measure that meant so much to Honolulu.
