I of liltlfullon. I
Honolulu, March 23. Let tis re
I lieve ourselves of burdens which,
I though we carried them well enough
in times of greater income, are now
too iieavv for us to bear with di
minished revenues.
"Let this Government, rnther
than attempting merely to cut away
as close as we dare in the matter of
expenses all along the departmental
line, cut off certain unnecessary re-1
spousibilities altogether.
"Why not do away with financial
burdens we arc unable and not nec
essarily obliged to carry? Let us
look to a plan of government that
will preserve the efficiency of essen
tial systems and wipe out or reform
systems whereby the Territory is
burdened with expenditures which
might well be uvoided; expendi
tures which, in other communities,
under the circumstances, would not
be assumed."
So .ays Governor Carter in rela
tion to the Territory's present finan
cial problem. In this connection
Mr. Carter is now concentrating
every effort to help along the work
of the Legislature at special session
to commence April 6. And the
Governor has called upon all de
partments of the Government to co
operate in paving the way of the
law-makers, that the work of the
latter may be laid before them in a
form that will insure quick and
effective action; action which will
result in a practical, reasonable,
business-like solution of the diffi
culties now confronting the Ha
waiian administration.
Following up the idea of putting
upon litigants more ol the costs of
litigation, reported exclusively in
yesterday's Bulletin, the Governor
states that it is doubtful whether,
under our present system, the
method in vogue does not operate
more to the benefit of rich corpora
tions than to the benefit of the poor
man.
Mr. Carter believes there is con
siderable to be said on either side of
the question, but there appears to
be great opportunity for improve
ment from a financial standpoint
when it is considered that corpora
tions can fight out protracted legal
battles, calling for juries and other
court running expenses, at a cost,
sometimes, infinitely small in com
parison with the interests involved;
and does not the fact that court
costs are comparatively light tend
to encourage litigation, consuming
the time of the courts, where it
might otherwise be avoided.
"Placing upon litigants the costs
of litigation," says the Governor,
"would do away with many trivial
matters which now take up the
time of the courts. And the Ter
ritory has to stand the bulk of the
burdcu of all this.
"Can we afford it all? How does
the system work when carefully ex
amined? "These are questions for the peo
ple to seriously consider.
"If we want to proceed on this
benificent theory are we ready to
stand increased taxation to meet
the expenses of the Government?
It is such a system as the present
that results in a congestion in the
courts. Perhaps the attorneys
might not favor an increase of finan
cial responsibility on litigants, but
j that is not the question. We have
got to come within our revenue or
increase or revenue."
The above is one of the questions
which will be brought before the
representatives of the people in spe
cial session. Another matter is that
of the sewerage and garbage sys
tem, also touched upon in an inter
view with the Governor in yester
day's Bulletin.
"It is an injustice,
says the
Governor, "to expect the taxpayers
of all the Territory to pay for a ben -
efit enjoyed almost exclusively by
only a portion of the community,
"We do not necessarily have to
compel people to take the benefits
of a garbage service or a sewer sys -
tern, but those who are benefitted
should be obliged to pay for that
benefit. I do not advocate that the
Government run these matters for
profit that would be out of the
question, but the garbage service,
for example, should Ik
supporting "
made self-
Governor Carter also suggests
that the payment of $70,000 in sub
sidies to hospitals is a burden that
the Territory is unable to stand and
Government physicians arc also too
much for Hawaii under present con
ditions, "These things were well enough
before our revenues were cutdown,"
says Mr. Carter, referring to ex
penditures qualified for exclusion.
"Wc could afford them then and it
was welt
for the Government to
spend moncya for such purposes.
We are differently situated now,
however, and must cut to fit finan
cial conditions.
"Members of the Legislature
have asked for clear statements of
conditions in all departments and
for outlines in regard to how best
each department can do with smaller
running expenses. We will have
such data ready for them when they
meet."
It is estimated that the Territory
would be in pocket about $75,000 a
year should the Legislature see fit
to put the sewerage and garbage
systems on a self-supporting basis
and reasonably increase the costs of
litigation in Territorial courts.

The out-of-town merchant owed
the Kansas City house $200 for
goods purchased the month prev
ious, says the Kansas City Star.
The bill was due and a letter was
written requesting payment. A
letter came back saying that the
writer was somewhat short of cash
and requesting an extension of
ninety days on the bill. The Kansas
City merchant wrote another letter
saying that he must insist on the
payment of his bill and suggested
that if the customer was "hard up"
the local bank would undoubtedly
accommodate him with a loan of
$200, so that the bill might be paid.
In Seventy-two hours the Kansas
City man received a reply, which
he is carrying around and showing
to his friends as a certificate of the
nerviest business proposition ever
issued in Missouri. The letter
follows:
"Dear Sir: Your letter of Dec.
26 came to-day, and noted. I was
much interested with your sugges
tion about borrowing money from
the bank here. In fact, I was so
pleased that this morning I went to
the bank and asked for a loan. I
was told that it would be necessary
to get another signature on the note
besides my own. Now, I do not
care to ask anyone down here to
indorse for me, but as you and I
have had considerable business to
gether I inclose the note for your
signature. Please sign just below
where I have written my name.
"You will probably notice that
the note is for $300 instead of $200,
' the amount of your bill. You see,
1 1 owe two other fellows who handle
the same kind of goods as you $50
each and I thought as long as you
and I are going to pay your bill we
might as well borrow enough to
j pay the other fellows at the same
1 time."
