TERRIBLE ACCUSATIONS,

that, In the Presidents opinion, schley

GOOD GOVERNMENT ASSURED.

One OF the best results to come OF the
hearty Endorsement OF Governor Dole
by President Roosevelt. is the return
OF business confidence. Uncertainty on
that point has had most TO do with the
recent scare among investors. The
latter felt that IL carpet-bag governor
and a spoils-seeking legislature should
eonjoin with a political court. Hawaii
would be a good place to hail from.
But now the assurance that Dole will
stay and that Washington will back
him. brings a sense Of relief to the ten
afan Of finances and to the apprehen-
asns OF the taxpayers.
Hawaii will now go ahead. There
vnI be no carnival of spoils, no extra
scion. no South Carolina epoch of
addition, division and silence" The
saly obstacle to good government that
remains is the First Circuit Court. but
that will be watched from the White
Nsase and in case the court gives Of

The President means to have no dis
turbers Of the peace on the Federal
payroll in these Islands. So let the
political judges keep an eye to the

Home Rulers knew that the wide

When the Republican party of Ha-

hence the primaries had to be made

CONTROL OF PUBLIC WATERS.

Assistant Attorney General yande-
vanter has rendered an opinion, dated
April 4, which has been approved and
adopted by Secretary of the interior
Hitchcock, and which is of great i'm
portance to Hawaii. 1t is printed in
full in this issue. 1t arises in connec-
ton with the Kohala Water Ditch
proposition. and holds that the local
government has the full power over
and control of government waters as
well as government lands. This is a
reversal of a ruling upon the same
question made last fall by Assistant
Secretary of the Interior Ryan.
The effect of this decision is to give
to the Territorial government the full
power TO deal directly with either the
Parker or Gehr syndicates. precisely
as ii had claimed the right to do. prior
to the rendering OF the Ryan decision.
The Parker bill, which has passed
the House and is now before the Sen
ate Committee on InsuIar Affairs, was
introduced after the Ryan ruling. up
on the hypothesis that the local gov
eminent had no authority in the mat
ter.
Secretary Hitchcock has written to
the committee Directing to the passage
OF the Parker bill. With this objection
before the committee and the fact that
the new decision makes an act of Con-
gress unnecessary. there is very prob
ability that the Parker bill will fail
OF passage
The people OF Hawaii are to be con-
graduated upon this outcome, first
and foremost, because the control of
local affairs Is left In local hands,
where IL belongs; and second. because
the Parker bill Is an attempt to get
for nothing valuable public waters, for
which a large rental has been offered
to the local government. both by Mr..
Parker himself, and by the Gehr syn
dictate.
The vandevanter decision throws a
heavy responsibility upon the Terrific
rial officials.
There are two parties asking for
the Hamakua-Kohala waters. each
a large sum therefor. Under |
these circumstances what can be fairer |
than to put the lease up at auction |
at an upset price. with certain fixed |
and let the men who will |
pay the most for II. get Il? The Terri
tory certainly needs every dollar of
revenue that II can obtain.
An additional argument in favor of
this course Is, that IL eliminates any
possibility OF a charge OF favoritism
We know OF no reason why. In this
:asc. either Mr.. Parker or Mr.. Gehr
'hould be preferred to the other. "a
air field and no favor" should not
,e objected to by either OF them. and
he public would stand to benefit by
he transaction.
