ing. of the public in the premises should
.be carefully defined and guarded.
The arrangement made with the
Rapid Transit company calls for the
payment into the public Treasury of a
certain percentage of net receipts.
Without in any way dissenting from the
common view that this corporation
would take no unlawful advantage of
the Territory, it may be saiG that. cor
porate bodies, similarly pledged, have
easily managed to evade their response
bilities under a net agreement. They
could not have done so had the per-
centage been one of gross instead of net
receipts. This embraces the change of
policy we hope the Legislature will
adopt In that way much revenue
might be had from the use of municipal
utilities without visiting an injustice
upon the corporations that pay it. The
streets are worthy of their hire.

MONEY FOR WATER.

The waterworks bureau, whose needs
this paper has already discussed, would
be able, out of its own returns, to meet
the cost of needed extensions Of the
water system. To the revenues OF the
Territory this system adds an average
net profit of $4,000 per annum, the
total net increment for three years past
being $685. During all that time but
$4,000 have been put into new work,
notwithstanding the increased and in
creasing needs of the town and the fire.
quency Of times when the water supply
has proved to be inadequate.
Much work, the necessity of which is
generally known, stands in an incom-
plete state. OF the costly high lifting
pump. long since bought and paid for
but still uninstalled, this paper has al
ready spoken. There is, besides, the
Diamond Head storage reservoir which
only needs few thousands of dollars
to finish it. Plans and specifica lions
for the much-needed reservoir in the
upper Nuuanu valley have been on file
for years. Meanwhile Honolulu is
growing. the suburbs are becoming
populous and new residence districts
are opening up. A dry time of week
pulls down the reservoir level and any
thing like a drouth would put the city
On short commons for water and cor

lying districts in time of fire.
By means of reasonable appropria-
ton from the collected earnings of the
water service, the Legislature could
give Honolulu all the water it needs.
Enough water runs to waste in the.
course of the year to irrigate the whole
island and more. TO conserve it by
methods which are fully planned and
partly paid for would seem to be legis-
Iative wisdom, especially in view of the
additional revenue to be had.

PAY FOR FRANCHISES.

Members-elect of the Legislature
ought to frame a definite policy in re-
gard to franchises. There are numbers
of corporations that want to occupy the
streets for public purposes and it is
right that they should be treated alike

The Bulletin, which did all the harm
it could to the Republican ticket while
pretending to be it's friend, is distressed
because the Advertiser is not in favor
of rewarding its perfidy with an office.
One of it's editorial staff, who boasts
vote for him for secretary of the Senate
and who is said to have been the prelim-
mary Home Rule choice for that posi-
ton in case of the success of the Wilcox
polling, now demands the Office from
Republicans. 1t is an impudent demand
which the Senate, if it has any respect
for party concord and welfare, will
deny, There are plenty of men who
worked sincerely for the winning ticket
in the late campaign and who are well
fitted for clerical duties. from whom a
proper choice can be made. To pass
them by and pick out a man from that
nest of party infidelity, the Bulletin.

icai propriety but common sense. The

cause it would give it a certain advan-
tage in the matter of news over papers
which gave the Republican ticket an
out-and-out support. But that of itself
would create discord and is an addi-
tional reason why the demand should be
repudiated. There is another aspirant

The Argonaut loses the respect of it's
readers in Hawaii when it prints such
paragraph as this about the findings
of commission which, at the time of
publication; had not met to formulate
them:
Dole and a certain element back OF
him have fostered the idea that he is,
the owner in fee simple of all property
on the island. Until the investigation
of the committee he never signed official
documents as governor, but simply af-
fixed his signature as had been the GUS
tom with Hawaiian kings. Even the
proclamation announcing the death of
President Mckinley did not receive his
signature, but was attested by Kate
Kelley" The Kate who thus springs
into prominence is the governors
stenographer. The proclamation itself
was typeWritten, and posted in an in
conspicuous place.
No one outside of the office of the
Argonaut has ever credited the state
ment or, belief to Mr.. Dole or his friends
that he is the owner in fee simple of
all property on the islands. Property is
held here as it is in California or else
/; where in the States. AS to the Gov
ernor's signature, it follows the custom
/ of the Presidents. Certain documents
are signed in one way; certain others in
another way, precisely as is done by the
Chief Executive of the United States
If the Argonaut will, for example, look
! at the signature affixed to the forth

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States at the end. Here also
is an extract from the most recent
leaf1et of Treasury decisions:
Any official in the Federal service
may, without jeopardy to his official
standing, contribute or not, exactly as
he pleases, provided he obeys the Sec
tons of the civil service act above re-
/. ferred to.

/ White House, October Is, 1902.
As to the statement that Hawaiian
kings signed their names without title
it may be well to inform the Argonaut
!. that "Kalakaua r." or Rex" was the
|, customary form here with the last one
; who reigned. That was no less a title
, because it was disguised in Latin. We
may add that the so-called Kate KEEL
ley proclamation was published Off
cially in the daily press.

Firemen Did Excellent Work Last
Night.


At 10 O'Clock last night fire was dis
covered in row of old wooden buildings
on Forsyth street, below the court
house, and ere this alarm could be
given three houses were in flames.
The fire appeared to have started in
small negro restaurant.
This was wedged between two two
story buildings and the fire ran up the
walls of these and secured firm hold
upon the shinge roofs.
The department was quickly upon
the scene and two or three well-dlrec-
ted streams soon extinguished the
blazing roofs but not before the build
ings were considerably damaged.
