BASIS OF Tnb OPPOSITION.

The Advertiser in proclaiming coun
" and municipal government as an un
necessary and expensive luxury holes
first that every separate district
would splurge in the matter OF iiu'
movements unless the taxpayers could
carr a majority OF the votes against
a prodigal outlay; second, that 1t
would result in bonded Indebtedness;
third, that the advantage of bonded in.
debtedness is with "taXeaters'; fourth,
that the tendency OF business opera
lions Is tcSard Capitalization.
There is a degree OF truth in these
assertions, but it is a half.truth which
Is evasive and misleading. Foolish,
profiigate expenditure OF public funds
is always possible in public administra-
ton. Municipal government is not 4
fairs. Municipal government is not a
lazy mans medium OF performing pub
lie business. II calls Tor the exercise
of all the well.recogniZed duties OF hon
est citizenship. The favorite cry Of
corruption and squandering OF public
funds which the Advertiser is ALWAYS
quick to take up is nothing more nor
less than a reflection upon the good
judgment and good sense of the voting
population taken as a whole. 1t is a
bald assertion which finds exceptional
instances as horrible examples, but
does not state the ruling conditions as
found in the thousands OF towns and
cities throughout the United States.
That bonded Indebtedness should bo
feared or strcnuously opposed Is a pro
posal somewhat new and equally
amusing when offered as an argument
against municipal government. The
chief aim OF bonded debt is to relieve
the taxpayers from the burden Of i'm
mediate payment for permanent public
Improvement and development. The
statement of bonded Indebtedness u
various cities of the Mainland fails Il
present competent grounds for declar
ing against the issuance Of bonds Il
pay for public work from which future
as well as present generations derive
a direct <rneht. The taxeaters" whicl
bonded Indebtedness favors are IT,,
men who give honest labor for an hon
est wage. The largest proportion d
the money secured from bonds goes t
the man whose capital is his labor,
The tendency of business is indeed
toward Capitalization, but the machin
cry of business corporations bears ne
relationship to the unwieldy and unre
sponsive character OF our present Ter
ritorIal government. The legislativ,
authority is slow In its operations, in

upon the greed or jealousies Of others

prompt administration and keep thu
"grafters" from feeding upon the pub
lie purse. This is best answered by
the overwhelming sentiment among
citizens of Hawaii whose integrity OF

HOLD IT HERE.
[Hilo Trlbune.l

tHilo Tribune.l
Two years ago II was tacitly under
stood that the Republican convention
this year would be held in Hilo. The
active Republican workers In Hilo and
neighboring precincts are all in favor
of holding the convention here and the
Tribune feels justified in the light OF
expressions made in numerous inter-
views, in extending to the Republi-
cans of Hawaii an informal but cor
dial invitation to meet in this city in
convention next September. Outside OF
the active political workers, the mer-
chants and citizens of Hilo, regardless
OF party are ready to extend the hOspit-
able hand to the Republican clans
Ililo is amply able to care for tho
visitors who would come. The hospi'
tality Of Hilo can not be OyertaXed and
her gates are open to the politicians.
To hold the convention here would
strengthen the Republican party on
this island and without doubt cement
all local Chasms which even now are
narrower than ever before. The Trl'
bune joins in the chorus of private let,
tiers, which have gone forward to tbs
| central committee at Honolulu urging
that Hilo he officially designated as tho
next meeting place of the Territorial
Republican convention.

An interesting central station heat
ing plant has recently been completed
at Dresden, which is interesting chiefly
on account of the size OF the plant, the
system extending three-quarters of a
mile. The steam, at pressure OF
about 80 pounds. is distributed through
two pipes about eight inches in dia-
meter The heat insulation of the pipes
is accomplished by two protective lay
ers of tin, the inner being perforated
and the outer one covered with silk
A number of important public buildings
are heated from the system, including
the theater, the museum, the castle
royal kitchen, custom house, etc.

The Belgian Suffrage Question.

The trouble In Belgium. aside from the
strikes in the mines. which seriously COM
plicate the political situation. arises from
a peculiar phase of the demand for undis-
eliminating popular suffrage Belgium en-
joys representative government today, with
the state headed by a limited monarch
But the franchise is not evenly granted
Every male person above the age of TWEEN
ty-five years is entitled to one vote. In ad-
ditton every father of a family who is over
thirty-tive years old and pays So a year
house tax has another vote. Furthermore,
every citizen over twenty-five who owns
immovable property worth 500. or who has
a corresponding income from such property
or who for two years has enjoyed at least
$2o year from Belgian bonds, directly or
through the savings banks. may cast an
additional vote Finally, two supplement
tary votes are given to each citizen over

of higher education or who has filled an

never was no dandy; but on lookin' in the
glass
Jes' after Mandy cut my hair, kind O.
thought I'd pass
But when my managers got out my cam
paign pictures-well,
You couldn't tell the difference tween me
and Beau Brum-mell.
But when the opposition took a-hold they
made me look
Like some fierce combination of a hayseed
an crook.
One day I'm so conceited that my manners
Is a frost.
An the next day I'm as humble as a yaller
dog that's lost.
