party to the contract expects to reap

we are entering into a contract with?
Have they now the requisite funds to go
ahead with the scheme? Or are they
merely getting hold of valuable asset
which can be carried round the money
marts of the world in hopes of finding a
favorable bidder? If there is responsible
capital behind the scheme there is no
reason why it should keep under cover,
if there is not responsible capital there,
the public should know it, and those
whose duty it is to safeguard the rights
of the public should know it. 1t would
be the height of folly FOR the Territory
to grant a franchise to any one simply
that it might be sold again and the pro-
ceeds put into the promoters breeches

do so to deal with principals.

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth made
quite a haul with his Saturday night
nese and Japanese it is almost impos-
sible to put down. Neither of these
races consider it as a vice, and every
means is taken to battle the police.
Guards, cellars, and many devious
methods of escape are devised to save
those who like to indulge in a quiet
game. 1t is perfectly marvellous how
many exits a Chinese house has, there
are doors in the most unexpected of
places.

THAT FRANCHISE.

The Kohala water scheme, which at
first occupied very little attention, now
forms a leading topic of discussion
among the thoughtful. When the
scheme was developed The Star prompt
ly pointed out that it was a case re-
quiring careful thought, and commend
ing the Governor and the Superintend-
ent of Public Works for taking time for
the consideration of the matter and
their referring the subject to Washing
ton. The Star also pointed out by a
quotation from a mainland paper, that
large works, with a similar object, had
been undertaken in Egypt, but that the
work there was done by the Egyptian
Government. Though the expenditure
was estimated at $2O,OOO,OOO, which is
an enormous sum for such an impover-
ished country to eXpend, yet it was cal
culated that the returns would be ST.
800 900 per annum, which would virtual
ly wipe out the debt in eleven years
Egypt will then own its irrigating plant
and by that time will be getting
steady income of close on to 81, 000, 900
year with which either to make far
Their improvements, or to tighten the
burden of taxation. The said $1,000 900
would not go into the pockets of a SYM
dictate to be spent in some wealthy city
of some other country.
The granting of franchises is a Sc
rious matter. City after city on the
mainland state after state, have re-
GREETED the hasty granting of these va
luable assets, which they have seen
grow in value, and corporations grow
rich from, while the city or the state
groans under taxation which it finds
hard to carry. Had the franchise been
carefully hedged in when they We're
first granted, had the city or state au-
thorites realized what they were grant
Ing, these franchises would never have
been given on the terms they We're.
The realizations of folly in such mat
tiers, unfortunately, always comes too
late.
We should always consider the grant
ing of a franchise such as is proposed
in the Kohala mountains, is the giving
away not only of our own rights but the
rights of our postefity We have only
a life interest in our native land and
we certainly ought to be thoroughly
satisfied as to the advantage to the Ter
ritory, before we tie up the rights of
our posterity. We must take a higher
view of the future than the Irshman is
said to have. done. Said he What do
1 care for posterity,, Posterity never
did anything for me-"
The proposed work in Kohala will
have very great effect upon the future
prosperity of the districts surrounding
that mountain mass whose head waters
it is proposed to give into the control
of a syndicate. We shall be alternating
and tying up for a number of years a
water supply which we really know
very little about. Before we give the
right we ought certainly to know more
about what we are giving 1t looks
very much like a speculative deal. We
don't know the full value of what we
are giving, and those who are asking
for it, hope that it'is a great deal more
than the present owners think it is.
The Star makes no claim that the
scheme Is not a good one, but it does
claim that it should have the widest
