HAWAIIAN TERRITORY IS SELF SUSTAINING Part of United States on Own Petition and Helps Support Government The territory of Hawaii is one of the most prosperous sections of the United States. It is not merely self-sustaining but it turns into the United States many million dollars a year. Since the organization of the territorial form of government in Hawaii it has paid into the United States Treasury more than $100,000,000. During the same period it has received from the federal government only $16,000,000. United States internal revenue collections in Hawaii have amounted to more than $72,000,000. The expense of collecting this has been only a little more than $500,000. The records of the United States internal revenue office showed that Hawaii in 1921 paid more federal taxes than any one of 17 states, and in 1922 it paid more federal taxes than any one of 19 states. Its federal income tax averages $5.67 per capita. In United States customs it contributes more than a million dollars a year. This is clear gain for the United States. Although by an act of Congress Hawaii is placed on a par with all states and territories in the matter of federal appropriations, it has not received a cent of money from the United States for local purposes. It has never received a dollar from the federal government for highways, as in the case of states and other territories. It has built its own roads and maintained them under local taxes, which for the current year amounted to $9,569,000. It has received no federal appropriations for agricultural purposes for which the federal government appropriates money for state aid. It is the only territory which is not only self-sustaining, but contributes largely to the upkeep of the United States government. Of this record ties of the various countries and cities of the stae, it is interesting to find that the communities that are the most vigorous in fighting disease and promoting health within their boundaries are the ones that have the larger sales of Christmas Seals. These little health stamps seem to have more than a fund raising value. They carry the Christmas spirit; they educate for health; they inspire to action. "The interest of the people in an active health program seems to be shown by the number of seals they buy. The larger the seal sale in a county, the more vigorous is the tuberculosis campaign that follows—not entirely because more funds are available, but because public interest has been aroused through a campaign that has reached every home. "It might fairly be said that the community that does not sell its quota of the Christmas seals is below par in the scale of community health. It has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The Christmas seal barometer indicates the health ahead and this is confirmed by mortality and morbidity statistics which cannot be disputed. "The seals this year will be sent out in the malls on the evening of Thursday November 29, Thanksgiving day. In the rural districts they will be sold by teachers and pupils. As this is the only means of support for the Orange County Tuberculosis association, which is doing a fine work, the public is urged to buy liberally."

It has built its own roads and maintained them under local taxes, which for the current year amounted to $9,569,000. It has received no federal appropriations for agricultural purposes for which the federal government appropriates money for state aid. It is the only territory which is not only self-sustaining, but contributes largely to the upkeep of the United States government. Of this record the people of Hawaii are very proud. The people of Hawaii are also proud of the fact that they were admitted into the Union as a territory upon their own petition. They were not added to the United States, as were the Philippines, by reason of any war which placed them in the position of being conquered territory. They petitioned to become a part of the United States and when they were admitted as a territory they had a government already set up, well organized and self-sustaining, and ever since then they have been a highly developed, self-governed, self-sustaining territory. The territorial legislature at its regular session in 1923 took action looking to admission to statehood. The most serious problem which they have is that of alien population. These aliens insist upon giving their children education in allen languages under allen teachers, to which the Hawaiian territorial government seriously objects. The last legislature passed laws for supervision of alien language schools, which are attended by 17,000 children. These laws are being opposed by the Japanese, and test cases are now pending in the territorial courts. The territory of Hawaii has just finished its most prosperous year. Deposits in their banks are the largest in the history of the territory. The tonnage of vessels calling at Hawaiian ports for the year was 412,000 tons greater than any previous year. It grew a sugar crop worth $63,000,000 and a pineapple crop of $29,000,000, besides producing a wealth of other agricultural products.

Postmaster General New performs a public service in calling attention to this tendency; and Messrs. Eugene Meyer, Jr., and Frank W. Mondell, of the War Finance corporation, also earn public thanks for their reference to this unnecessary tax upon the people. Mr. New speaks of improvements and additions which the states are making, with a great increase of taxes, at a time when the federal government is cutting down the national debt and reducing gexpenditures and taxation. Messrs. Meyer and Mondell, who have just made an exhaustive inquiry into conditions in the Northwest, at the request of President Coolidge, have reported that the economic status of the wheat producer has been injured by increased local taxes. There has been widespread "extravagance in public and private expenditures." The report to the President says: "We referred in the beginning of this report to the universal complaint regarding large increases in local taxes. It is well understood, of course that the present higher tax brackets on incomes, commonly known as surtaxes, greatly encourage investors to buy state, county and municipal tax-exempt securities, and the market for such securities, enlarged and stimulated as it has been, is reflected in a corresponding increased ability on the part of public political corporations to float large issues. This has led to extravagant expenditures by public agencies in many o'fthe agricultural districts. "While the funds have been raised at somewhat lower rates of interest than otherwise would have been possible, the borrowings of state, county and municipal agencies have been stimulated to such an extent that the aggregate interest, and therefore the aggregate taxes, have increased to a point where they represent a serious burden." "Stimulation of borrowings" is a dangerous procedure in any case, public or private, but it is especially reprehensible under the present conditions, when the United States owes a CHRISTMAS SEALS Executives of the Orange County Tuberculosis association, which depends on the sale of Christmas Seals for funds to support its activities, issued the following statement: "In looking over the health activi- One of the ways that Christmas Seals help patients in hospitals is with the work cure. No longer do people with tuberculosis wait for meal time as their only diversion. Instead, all of the larger hospitals have well equipped work shops and work is prescribed as part of the treatment. The teachers in these shops are paid by the state and local associations from the proceeds of the Christmas Seal Sale. ANAHEIM GAZETTE great war debt and when the cost of living is still too heavy. Postmaster General New observes that many of the improvements and additions which the state and local authorities go into debt to obtain could easily be postponed until more propitious times. The increase in the debt of states, counties and municipalities is alarming. The ease with which tax-exempt securities may be issued, and the avidity with which capitalists snap up these securities, in order to escape payment of income taxes, together with neglectful and extravagant attitude of the voters, constitute a vicious system that is running the people into debt at a dangerous rate. The people must soon face the consequences of neglect and extravagance. The sources of federal taxation are drying up as the issues of tax-exempt securities by states, counties and municipalities mount into the billions. In the meantime the debts of local governments are piling up, while the federal government is doing its utmost to reduce the national debt cut down expenditures, and relieve the people of some of their tax burden. There must be an end to the process of issuing tax-exempt securities or an end to the income tax as a source of national revenue. Which shall it be? ABSOLUTELY MR.
