Some Reasons for Annexation.

To the Editor Of The Evening Stag:
Most Americans do not know that many
more ships flying the stars and stripes
touch at Honolulu every year than at any
other port Of the world outside of America
The annual foreign commerce of Hawaii In
1850 was about $4,000 Through Ameri-
can enterprise it had risen in 1880 to $2o,
600, 600 per annum. The exports of Hawaii
largely exceed her imports. and 9s per cent
of them come to the United States. OF her
imports IS per cent are from the United
states. In case of annexation being ac-
complished this percentage would be large
ly increased and the total Of imports would,
doubtless soon be doubled. \.

Against the Water Meters.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The water taxpayers of Washington are
to be punished for paying into the treasury
mere money than the water service costs.
That Is what the meter proposition
amounts to. The District appropriation bill
provides that the surplus revenues may be
used to buy meters and pay for inspection,
maintenance and repairs to these costly
contrivances. If the water rents were not
sufficient to pay for the service, action
might be taken with more reason to reduce
consumption.
Doubtless there are individuals who
waste water (and there is a law to punish
them for iU, but the consumers, in the ag-
gregate, do not get their moneys worth,
because there Is a surplus, and the water
service Is required by law to be on an
actual expense basis. (Sec. 1913, r. 8. d. c.
The surplus, If any, should be used 20
establish better service rather than to
place in each citizens house a detective In
the shape of meter. The water meter de-
tective Is said to be even less reliable than
his brother detective, the gas meter.
Water is as necessary as the air we
breathe. II possible, it should be as free.
Imagine the oxygen Of the air doled out
to consumers through meters!
Again, 1t is possible that meter system
would be productive of so much petty
economy that the revenues would be act
ually diminished instead of increased. with
a saving of water, of course, but with re-
suits not at all conducive to health or
clea nlineSs.
In that way cholera and other diseases
that thrive on filth might gain a foothold
in the city and cause more pecuniary loss
in one month than meters would save in a
century, to say nothing Of precious lives
sacrificed.
1t may sound slanderous to say SO, but it
is likely that some good citizens would go
without bath II it cost anything extra.
Other features of this important subject
have been fully discussed in The Star
