WDA'S NEXT FRIEND
SAYS He DID 1T

Honolulu. March u, 1908.
Editor Advertiser: Yesterday, short
~ after lunch. several members of the
lower House of the Legislature, togeth-
er with the clerks and attendants and
the secretaries of some of the different
committees. got together in spirit of
fun and good humor and held a sort
of mock legislative assembly There
were several bills introduced and pass
ed, such as preventing water from run
ming up hill. and the harbor from dry
ing up. and being one of the partici-
pants in that mock assembly, drew up
the cat and dog bills, and just at that
moment the Speaker entered and de-
clared the House in regular session.
The notice was left upon the desk of
one of the members. and by him pass
ed around, finally landing upon the
clerks desk And it was read by him
just before adjournment.
know that Mr.. Vida had no no
ton nor intention of introducing any
thing of the kind, and in fact did not
know that such thing was in exist
ence.
Mr.. Vida has been unjustly accused
of being the father of this freak meas
ure. While 1 am fully aware of the
fact that I may be punished for con-
tempt I would sooner suffer punish
ment than have Mr.. Vida unjustly, ac
cused of something which he knew
nothing about.

REMINISCENT.

The general trend of aboriginal pub
lie policy does not change much with
time and experience. In the Gazette
of April 6. 1890, appears a declaration
of principles by Ned Bush, who. at that
time. was running for the Legislature
at Koolau. Mr. Bush's platform was as
follows:
l. To abolish the new constitution.
2. To stop all further immigration
of laborers.
;. To reduce the property qualifca-
ton in election for Mobiles.
4 To declare az private fisheries free
30 the public.
5. To abolish the labor contract sys-
tenn.
G. To discharge all foreigners in the
employ of the Government who ara
rebels. Opponents of Bush and VIII
cox-)
Z. To turn loose all Iepers at Ka-
lawao and Kalaupapa. except those VINO
prefer to remain there.
g. To turn out the present Board of
Health, the correct name of which is
the Board of Death"
g. To abolish all personal taxes
Croad. school and polD.
10. To reduce the taxes on lands that
are not being worked.
IL To give the crown lands to ma
tive Hawaiians upon the expiration of
existing leases. but to give none to for
eigners.
The spirit OF this platform is precise
ly that of Home Rule politics today and
in respect of lepers, taxes. the Board
Of Health. labor, etc, the letter is the
same.

AN EMPTY THREAT.

Nothing could be more preposterous
than Speaker Beckleyis statement that
he will not sanction any reflections by
the press on the honest intent of mem
bers OF the House.
What If he doesn't sanction It? What
earthly difference does it make TO the
press whether BeckIey sanctions" its
constitutional right 10 express its views
or not? Upon what meat does this
curbstone Caesar feed that he has
grown so great?
SO far as the Advertiser is concerned
it will discuss the Legislature as can
didIy as it has always discussed the
courts and when members go wrong it
viii say so without the slightest ques-
ton as to whether the Speaker likes it
or not.
In conclusion the Advertiser begs
leave to suggest that the Legislature is
paid to do the peoples business and
hat it is high time it got down TO work
There has been too much banderlogging
70 far and some things that look worse.

CoMMIssIoNER OF AGRICULTURE.

IF there is 10 be a new Commissioner
., Agriculture, the Advertiser hopes
that politics viii have nothing to do
with his appointment. What is wanted
I'm the place is a practical farmer and
forester. who knows something about
entomology and has executive capacity
and a knowledge OF the peculiar agri-
cultural conditions Of the Territory "A
mere politician would be as much out
of place in the Agricultural bureau as
he would be in the faculty Of school,
IT NAV be that the Legislature, in
view OF the custom in States and Ter
ritories TO aid a Federal Experiment
station in return for its special local
services to agriculture and forestry,
will abolish our Bureau Of Agriculture
and give its appropriation TO the local
United States bureau. But assuming
that the Territorial service viii be con-
tinued. it is of first Importance TO adj
minister it with an eye single TO its
efficiency and not as an agency OF !
spoils.
The name of Mr.. Krause of Kameha-
meha schools has been mentioned for
the position, not as man who is seek
ing It but as one whom practical agri-
cuIturists want for the place Among
his hackers are Jared G. Smith and
Byron o. Clark, two men in whose
opinion the Governor and the Senate
- e.. ..4 ~ xranSa II an |
pears, has spent years in the scientific
and practical study of agriculture. in
Guiding forestry and has all the quail
fcatiohs which the post requires. Byron
o. Clark calls him thoroughly prac-
tical man." and that is also the opin-
ion in which he is held at Kamehameha
schools.
Mr.. d. L. Vandine is another man of
this sort and perhaps others could be
found in the Territory. The Adver- /
tiser is not holding a brief from either I
gentleman; but it does hold brief
from the progressive farmers, orchard {
lists and citizens generally who want t
fitness for offices which require experts. I
to be thought of before political SER 9
vices are counted. 1t may be added for ]
whatever satisfaction it may give. that c
both Mr. Krause and Mr.. yandine are il
when it comes to voting. i
but they are not men to put in time
which agricultural and chronological
interests would require of them, at the1 q
work Of ward politicians. III

TELEPHONES.

iThe Official and Commercial Record.l
The course adopted by the Merchants
Association and the Chamber of Com
merce. concerning the telephone situation
is thoroughly sound. A joint committee
of three from each association has been
appointed to investigate the causes of the
ineficiency of the present system. the
possibility of its restoration to usefulness
and to recommend to the two associations
what policy they should adopt concern
ing the proposed new company. The
committees are authorized to employ ex-
pert assistance.
The community does not want two tele-
phone systems 1t had an experience Of
that kind once before and wants no more
of it. But it must have SOME system
which can be depended upon in wet
weather as well as dry. and the existing
system practically goes out of commits
sion whenever it rains. while it is only
partially effective during dry weather.
If there is any reasonable certainty that
the existing company will promptly and
certainly give good service, the public
interests will be subserved by retaining
it and excluding other applicants. But,
il such assurance cannot be obtained, the
sooner the people know it and get a sys-
tenn that will work. the better
The committees appointed are F. w
Macfarlane, Chas. Wright and Robert
Cation. representing the Merchants Asso-
citation, and ]. A. Kennedy. Pfontenhauer
and H. Focke. representing the Chamber
of Commerce.
This committee can be relied upon to go
to the bottom of the matter
The people will await their report with
intense interest

Prince Kuhio is reported TO have said
yesterday that he intended to ask the
Board of Education to hold a COMPETE
tive examination for the appointments
to West Point and Annapolis which fall
to him as Delegate. This is the Ameri-
can custom and one which the youth
and the public of the Territory will
both appreciate. The young fellows
who win the prizes here will have to
win them again at the Academies; and
if they succeed in entering they Will

IS THERE ANY
CHINESE FUND :?

Editor Advertiser: A complaint was
sworn to by Auditor Fisher which. in
words. charges wray Taylor with TAX
ing funds from the Chinese Imrnigra-
ton Fund whereas, in truth and in
fact there is no such fund known to
the law. such a fund was in existence,
and all receipts from charges for per-
mits TO Chinese went to the credit of
said fund, but which fund has been
covered into government realizations
on the books of the Treasurer. and not
one cent stands TO it's credit. Taylor
never had charge OF it to the extent of
anything.
Taylor did have charge of amounts
due depositors in the Hawaiian Postal
Savings Bank to a certain extent viz:
That when a Chinese depositor was
about to leave the country he presented
his pass-book TO Taylor. whose duty in
the matter was, first, to assure himself
bv examination of the attached photo
graph that the party was the identical
party; secondly to procure and
after seeing him on board to pay
the balance TO him. So far he was entf-
tied o., authorized to draw the amount
cue to the departing Chinese laborer
This amount due depositors in the
late Hawaiian Postal Savings Bank, |
Chinese or others, is the property of the
United States until paid out to the de-
posters. In event of not being called
for in a reasonable time, it will revert |
to the United STATES governments, hav-1I
ing been specially sent here for that
purpose.
On such complaint he must be ac-
quilted. This Observation-Disclosures |
Chinese fund has history. and has led |
quite a number into trouble and its end |
s not IN sight. X.
