(loTcrnor Mar Colt Legislature
Cut Appropriations.
Honolulu, March 2. Governor
Carter conferred with representative
bankers in the Capitol this morning
on the financial situation of the
Government.
The baukers expressed it as their
opinion that it would be unwise to
assist the Government in the way
of a loan until the Supreme Court
had rendered a decision in the
matter of the appropriations test
case, now pending. They want to
know where the Territory stands,
financially, before lending money.
In the matter of registered war
rants, the bankers feel that unless
the Government can assure them
when the cash therefor will be forth
coming, they must handle them in
no way other than to take them for
collection.
Governor Carter, after the confer
ence, had the following to say:
"The whole trouble is that this
Government is now running along
with the same expenses that existed
before annexation, when the coun
try's revenue was far greater than
it is now and when times were
booming.
"Our revenues, since annexation,
have been cutldown and the only
thing to do is to cut down our ex
penses accordingly.
"It is a matter for the public
for the tax-payers to decide.
"If we want to continue on with
our present high expenses, we must
be willing to pay higher taxes. If
we don't want to stand for increase
in taxes, then we have to cut down
salaries all' along the line, diminish
forces and do away with numerous
unnecessary items of expense.
"The Government is today pay
ing better salaries in many instances
than are paid by mercantile firms.
'The Territory is now in a serious
financial difficulty. We have not
the money to carry on the expenses
of the Government.
"We must cut and cut hard.
"I am considering the calling of
the Legislature together. I do uot
say that the Legislature will be
called, but I am considering the
matter. I want to hear suggestions
on this subject.
"Of course there will no doubt be
many loud and strenuous objections
to calling a special session of the
'Legislature, but it seems to me that
this is what the Legislature is for.
We must leave matters of this kindj
in the hands of the Legislature.
"It is a mistake to insist that
thtfre will be no good accomplished
by the calling of the Legislature.
"How will we ever attain to
Statehood unless we can settle these
matters as they should be settled?
"Of course nothing will now be
done until we hear the Supreme
Court's decision.
"We must'be guided by law in
affairs of such importance. The
baukers won't act until they are
satisfied as to the law of the cir
cumstances. "Some people seemed inclined to
pass the whole problem up to the
Governor to settle out of hand.
This is not a matter for the Governor
to decide alone; it is for the people
to decide. The general public is
just as much interested in the finan
cial situati6n as I am.
"I cannot go home and pray for
guidance to do the right thing and
then go out and determine things
as I think best. I must be guided
by the law.
"If I thought that by borrowing
money now we could assure the
employes and those who do work
for the Government of receiving the
full remuneration allowed them,
without having to defer payment,
I would heartily favor borrowing
all we could; but if we do borrow
we have no assurance that the Gov
ernment can even then continue to
pay out at the present rate of ex
penditure, we would have to defer
salary payments sootier or later.
"I presented the facts of the
situation to the bankers this morn
ing." The Governor then referred to
figures be had noted, showing that
the total authorized expenditure
for the eighteen months coramenc-
incr with this vear. on the basis of
$4,609,030, as against nn estimated
income fur the- same period of but
$3,064,017.
"This means," said Mr. Carter,
"that over one and a half millions
of dollars must be cut out.'
"1 have gone through theeightecu
months' bill, cutting out expenses
which I might say to be unneces
sary. Take the $150,000 for the
harbor, for example, the $15,000
for the remodeling of the Judiciary
building, and the $30,000 for the
exhibit at St. Louis. These are
items without which the public can
get along without any actual hard
ship. "There are many other similar
items that can be done away with.
"About $'300,000 can be' cut out
in this way. Then I think that
perhaps $250,000. can be taken out
of the Public Works appropriations.
"It is my suggestion that Gov
ernment salaries be cut twenty per
cent all around. The heads of the
various department! have signified
An
Elegant Line
j
their willingness to acc;pt this cut
and I am willing to give twenty per
cent of my salary along with the
rest. A cut of twenty per cent in
all salaries will mean cutting out
$425,000; so we have figured on
cutting out $975,000, but are still
short over $570,000.
"It is a question whether Gov
ernment employes arc willing to
accept this twenty per cent cut.
But, according to the prospect,
they will have to accept the cut or
run the chance of not getting their
money until long after due."
"It might be the best thing to
call the Legislature together to
reorganize the salary lists to meet
our income. The only other way
to solve the problem would be to
raise the taxes.
"There are many items of ex
pense in regard to wlucli new con
ditions, since annexation, make it
doubtful if it is wise to proceed with
them 011 the list of expenditures.
"Subsidies, for example, and
Government physicians, and many
other matters,"

Washington, March 3. In his
examination today before the Sen
