HOrner's Bank Bill.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to state
some reasons why | introduced
this bill in the House.
In dealing with the principles of
national finance and currency, we
touch one of the vital forces of civ
ilized people, by which they live
and enjoy life.
Money is as much the life of
business as food is the life of the
physical man, hence to keep bust
ness healthy, it is imperatively
necessary to have money enough
for all purposes and always obtain
able upon security and interest
comparatively low and uniform.
The Bank of Hawaii" as con
templated in the above bill, pro-
vides for it all, and nothing with
less power to serve the people, or
less responsibility, less dignity, or
more seltishness than o banking
bureau of our Government would
have, should ever be intrusted with
the business heart throbs of our
people, be they to create wealth,
prosper and enjoy life.
The above being n well known
principle, all nations have reserved
unto themselves the right to sup
ply their own and their peoples,
wants with money and most nations
ado supply themselves. {" Ha-
wall is an exception" She choosing
to let others supply her currency
needs and reap the profits of the
transactions rather than to exer.
else her own sovereign right and
make her own money. The profits
have been large to those that sup
piled her.
One transaction | mind of cost
Hawaii S1S0,000 for just the nego-
tiation in Europe for one million OIL
SO of money, and the Individual
who supplied US with the one mil
lion dollars of silver money also
received a large sum for his SER
vices. All of which could have
been saved if Hawaii had made her
own money.
Query, would not the Hawaiian
bond that proved to be good secu'
rity for European money, have been
just us good security and secured
just as good money from the Bank
of Hawaii " .Gf Hawaii had had
bank) as from the Bank of Eng
land? If not, why? What l mean
is that a money issued by the
"Bank of Hawaii and backed by
an Hawaiian Government bond for
its redemption should and would be
Just as good money as that same
bond could secure in Europe. The
above bill would give that right to
Hawaii. }. NJ. HoRNER.

the special committee to whom were re-
ferred bill No. 1877, entitled " An Act to
establish Governor on each OF the
islands OF Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and
Kauai, and to define the duties assigned
by law to him - as also bill No. 175, re-
latlng 10 the same subject, begs leave to
report as follows: That as a member OF
the Legislature OF 1887, was doubtful OF
the wisdom OF the bill which Was intro
duced to abolish the office of governor,
believing that under the system then ex
listing the change was undesirable But
the bill was passed and other offices were
established, and Tor three years the pub
lie affairs OF the several islands have
been conducted under the new system
The new arrangement has become so
firmly established and has worked so
| we'll that 1t does not appear to be for the
| public interests that a change should be
| made at this time. The duties formerly
| performed by the Governors, and those
sought to be established by the bills now
under consideration, have been divided
! and assigned 10 other offices and in some
respects the public service has been
benefited. The assessment and collec-
ton OF taxes have been performed with
better results, and the public roads and
highways have been better cared for
The Sheriffs, who are responsible for the
police OF several islands, now have
more complete control OF the officers and
the service has been benefited Further
more, to make the change now proposed
will involve a considerable expense,
which seems unjustitiable at present
Frequent changes in the system of pub
lie administration are undesirable, and
as there appears no sufficient cause for
re-establishing the Office of Governor al
this time, recommend that both of the
bills referred to us be laid on the table

The report was laid on the table to be
considered with the bill and the majority

Rep. Marques moved that he be-
allowed to print extracts from the Post
masters letters, not the affidavits.
Rep. K. w. Wilcox-What is the us,
OF bringing this matter into the HOUSE
again. | move the Committee on Ac
counts pay for the report, and the Hous,
; let the matter drop.
Rep. Brown said the House had re
J turned the report, which showed 1t wa
unauthorized. The best way out of tn,
matter was to pay for the report, and lie
the matter drop.
Rep. Lucas said the appropriation TO
,, the Post Office had been inserted in tn
bill. Let us now leave the matter.
Rep. Paehaole did not think the me
ton could be entertained.
Noble J. NJ. Horner said the bushes
part of this matter had been transacted
: and it was no use in having this wrang
ling part brought up.
: Noble Muller moved the previou
I question. Carried.
Rep. Paehaole moved the ayes an
noes be taken. Lost.
The motion to pay for the report an
: for the matter to drop was carried.
At noon the House took recess.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

The boards of trade in Ohio cities are
organizing a municipal reform league to
dive out the political rings that have
seized upon the governments of the cities.
No state has gone 50 far as Ohio in taking
from citizens the control OF municipalities
and comforting the power on the governor
and Legislature, and apparently no cities
are so ridden with political bossism and
corruption. There is no doubt some con-
nection between these two facts. The
boards of trade everywhere cannot be en-
gagged in better work than this planned in
Ohlo-Springfield, Mass, Republican.
Very ardent partisans are not unfre-
quently so far led astray by false idea
of expediency and party fealty as to al
together lose sight Of the right involved
in the question under consideration.
While the EAGLE, in its loyalty to the
Republican party, has never wavered,
its aim has ever been to advocate that
side Of economic questions which Is right,
and which, in its judgment, will be pro-
ductive Of the greatest good to the great
est number This paper has never been
afraid to trust the people fully in the
matter of elf-gOvernment. The position
of the EAGLE upon all of that class of
legislation which seeks to take from the
people the power to select important
officers and confer it upon ring politicians
is well known. Its attitude toward the
Murray law, the metropolitan police
folly, and kindred measures, has subject
ed it to all manner of abuse at the hands
of certain newspapers which will live to
see the day they will be in full
accord with the position taken
by this paper. 1t appears to
be the fortune of the EAGLE to be in ad-
vance of those who are so busy lodging
around to keep on the popular side of all
questions that they have no time to ex-
anime into the right or wrong of their
position. Much Of the uneasiness and
dissatisfaction so prevalent among the
people can be traced to the class ~ leg
islation above limited at. II party eau
cuses and conventions would take as
much pains to ascertain and then exc
cute the viii of the people as they fire.
Quently exercise in their endeavors TO
thwart it, there would not be so much
whipping-in required to elect the tickets
they make. Upon the theory that
misery loves company, we ought not to
be entirely inconsolable since, as it APP
pears from the above editorial from the
Springfield Republican, other states are
experiencing the same results we are
from this class of legislation.

! fourteenth century. In 1929 the Lord
| Chamberlain of Scotland writes Of lOaves
of sugar which were sold at / ounce of
silver per pound. The manufacture was
carried on in Great Britain at this time,
but small supplies were imported from
| Venice, where sugar refining had already
| become an important industry. Although
/ Harrison, the chronicler, speaks OF sugar
and wine as being a common drink
among the upper classes during the SIN
| teenth century, it is probable that sugar
did not become an article of ordinary
consumption until the middle Of the sew
enteenth century. The sugar industry
in Barbados, one of the West India
islands was introduced by some English
merchants in 1913. 1t is commonly
supposed that the sugar cane was
first introduced into America by
the Portuguese and other early European
settlers. but il is decidedly stated by the
first explorers that the aborigines OF Flr-
ginia and other parts Of America pre-
pared sugar from the sap Of the maple
tree. and also from a native variety OF
sugar cane. The Spaulards did, how

For the first time almost in the history
Of legislation, of a national character,
has the wishes and interests of the mass
es as against the classes prevailed in the
passage by the senate of the silver bill in
the form in which it passed that body.
AS we understand the question and the
wishes OF the people, of the west in par
ticular, the bill as passed could hardly be
made more perfect. 1t provides for free
coinage, establishes a standard Of value,
makes the silver dollar equal in value to
the gold dollar and makes them and the
certificates issued upon deposits of both
or their bullion legal tenderfor all debts,
public and private. The bill viii almost
certainly be passed by the house without
amendment and be approved by the
president. To Senator Plumb more
largely than to any other member Of that
body Is due the credit for the success of
the measure so far. In fact it is largely
of his framing through amendments of
fered and pressed to adoption by him,
and the country viii not be slow to ac-
cord to him full NEED of praise therefor.

POSTMASTER JEWETT.

The dispatches this morning announce
that the president yesterday sent to the
senate the name of E. B. Jewett to be
postmaster at Wichita. There is little
doubt that the nomination will be con-
firmed without delay-probably in time
for the appointee to qualify and be ready
to succeed to the position when the
present incumbent's term expires,
the last of the present month. The
EAGLE congratulateS Judge Jewett upon
his prefermentin the belief that he will
make an efficient and acceptable post
master, all that it and the public can
ask, but what they have right to ex-
pect.
