'jtr i- By Jerry Burria Adrrtitrr Politiri Editor Honolulu's bus fares may have to go up again if the latest proposed city budget is any indication. The new budget, due for final approval at a special council meeting tomorrow, calls on Mayor Eileen Anderson's administration to "submit a report on its proposal" to reduce the amount that taxpayers now pay to subsidize the bus.

It costs an adult SO cents at the farebox for a ride today. Transportation Director Roy Parker recently told the council that the fares would have to go up to around 60 cents to meet half the bus costs out of the farebox. And that, said Council Budget Chairman Toraki Mat-sumoto, is just about the proper split between fares and general subsidies for the 400-bus fleet. "It's time to reassess this thing again," Matsumoto said yesterday. "I think it (fares) should be at least half," A monthly bus pass, good for an unlimited number of rides, costs $15 and, presumably, this may increase Matsumoto said his Budget Committee did not crank any anticipated increase in fares into its version of the new 1982 city budget.

But he made it clear that he wants some thought on the matter from the Anderson administration. The transportation department, the budget report says, has three months to come up with a plan to get bus fares "pegged to cover a fixed percentage of the overall operations of maintenance costs and to limit the bus fleet size during peak hours." Today, fares amount to about $14.6 million of the total cost of running MTL the company that operates The Bus for the city. There is a small $3 million federal subsidy and the rest of the $47 million a year comes out of the pockets of Oahu residents through property taxes and fuel taxes. The budget was supposed to have been adopted yesterday but the council put off the vote until tomorrow because of a previously overlooked charter provision. Although some council members disagreed with the interpretation, attorneys for the city noted that the charter requires money bills to be available for public inspection for three days before final passage.

The issue was whether that three-day requirement applies to the final council amended form of the budget. The Anderson administration's original submission has been available to the public since early March. Both council members and veteran staff assistants said they could remember other years in which the new city budget was approved in its final form without the three-day "layover" period. This is the first year anyone raised the question, how-' ever.

But Matsumoto said the $12 million can be made up and even after new pay raises for unionized city workers are met a small $2.7 million surplus could be realized. That surplus won't be enough to cover the costs of pay raises for police, firefighters and bus workers still to be negotiated, Matsumoto acknowledged. But he said further savings, plus an expected surplus out of this year's budget, should be enough to pay the, cost of the last three wage agreements.

assessed value for the coming year. That is the same rate as the current year. At a public hearing on property taxes yesterday, five people spoke in favor of lowering the property tax rate to offer relief for people who have seen their property taxes skyrocket along with rising real estate values. The major change in the council version of the budget is the transfer of some $12 million in federal revenue-sharing dollars out of the operating side of the budget, which goes largely for salaries and the like, into cash construction projects such as parks, playgrounds and roads. Anderson said yesterday that she would support the witch fully if the money can be found to make up the difference.

Falwell offered these comments on some of his more controversial themes. Gay rights.

"I am for homosexuals having equal rights. I am against their attempting to be recognized as a bona fide minority like women, blacks, Hispanics. because they (homosexuals) chose their minority status." Premarital sex. "Sex is reserved for the marriage bond, and in our society we've always believed that. The fact that Hollywood has tried to change our mind doesn't change the value system.

Sex outside the marriage has been considered by the American people to be wrong for 205 years." Capital punishment. "I believe it's the excellent deterrent against capital crimes. War, the right to defend the nation, as well as capital punishment for those who destroy other members, is a matter of self-defense. It is not murder." Akortioa.

"The majority of Americans who do agree on shared moral values have been virtually silent and inactive for the last 35 years," he said.

"Someone asked me this in a pastors meeting recently: 'How is it that a handful of amoralists and secular liberals have literally taken over And the answer was. we have lost by default. We didn't show up for the ballgame. We didn't field a team." Two years ago. when Falwell founded Moral Majority few folks outside of his Lynchburg, congregation had ever heard of him.

Today. Falwell has achieved international recognition as a spokesman for Christian conservatism in America. And at 11 a.m. this morning he brings his "I Love America" campaign to the Capitol steps, where opposition groups have promised a counter-rally to protest, among other issues, his stand favoring laws to ban abortion and insitutute capital punishment. At a news conference yesterday, Falwell said the purpose of the rally is to encourage a return to "moral and traditional basic values, family values, particularly promoting the traditonal mo- nogamous family," and also to promote the establishment of Christian schools.

Meanwhile, a dispute over use of the name "Moral Majority" in Hawaii hit the courts yesterday. In an apparent attempt to cause logistical difficulties for Falwell 's organization, a group of opponents earlier this month registered the name Moral Majority of Hawaii with the state. In a suit filed yesterday in Circuit Court, the anti-Falwell faction, led by William E. Woods, executive director of the Sexual Identity Center, asked that Falwell's group be prevented from calling itself the Moral Majority here. Falwell yesterday announced that Moral Majority Inc.

has hired a local law firm, Rother it Bybee, to defend his claim to the name. A letter to Woods from the law firm said an application for a federal trade permit for the name has been pending since January. Today's rally is the 43rd that Falwell has held at state capitals across the country. "I've very carefully studied where the opposition is coming from," Falwell told reporters. "It's coming from gay coalition groups, it's coming from the ACLU, it's coming from some very, very liberal political organizations.

It's amazing how many of them are involved in left-wing activities in this part of the nation. So it's the same opposition we get everywhere we go.

So it has nothing to do with freedom of choice. We feel that the woman has the right of freedom of choice over her own body but not over the person living within her. Therefore, if we were to sit by as many nations did during Nazi Germany's holocaust of 6 million Jews, I think we'd be morally guilty before almighty; God (with) bloodied hands because we failed to speak out." Though Falwell called abortion "murder." he said he does not think it rates capital punishment or any other punishment for women, even if a consitutional ban against it were to be enacted. "The average person who had an abortion certainly did not think that she'was murdering a human life," he said. "If you're talking about premeditated taking of life if she in her heart knew that abortion is the taking of human life.

"This child within me is a living human being, but I am going to destroy that child' well, I am raying that I am not for a jail sentence for her. She's going to bear that guilt a long time. "There's a vast, vast difference between dealing with a person who in the commission of a robbery or a rape or any kind of premeditated capital crime takes the life of another person, intentionally wanting to kill that person, and an emotionally disturbed, distraught woman who lives in a society that has legalized what she is about to do, and had an abortion even though she had many reservations of her own. I would rather run to the side of that tittle lady and help her back to health than to advocate she should be penalized." Even is cases where the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
