CONSERVATIVE ACTION BEST

More complete information on the
report of the Senatorial Commission
will undoubtedly disclose the fact that
the Commission has prepared bills for
introduction in Congress which EN-.
body their views on the subjects
which they deem worthy of especial
legislative attention. Until these bills
tails are known Hawaii is still work
ing very much in the dark concerning
the specific recommendations made.
Placing our public lands under Fed
eral control is broad statement. The
Bulletin believes that II does not mean
an administration or law which will
work an injury to established indus
try, leave the Territory with no lands
whatever or open the way for a grab
of large areas which will within com
paratively short time wipe out Federal
and Territorial public lands. In every
State and Territory are today found
large land areas. subject to local con
troll, producing an income which goes
TO public institutions on the same basis
as Hawaii's present land proceeds now
go towards educational purposes
While on the face Of 1t the Commits
sion report appears to be extremely
radical, revolutionary In fact, Hawai-
will do itself more harm than good By
putting itself in the position of cryinl
before 1t is hurt.
To slight extent-very slight, how
ever,-the same principle may hole
true in connection with the transfer o.
the leper settlement. While citizens
differ on the ACCESSIBILITY of Federal Of
Territorial control, there can be no diff
ference OF opinion on any proj.c
which might directly or indirectly lead
TO Kalaupapa being made a nationa
dumping ground. Such a course
would be unjust and cannot be sup
ported by any citizen having the slight
est regard for the welfare of this Ter
rltory.
The final action of the Chamber o.
Commerce on these two important
questions is timely. The cablegram'
forwarded request delay for a fur

which will undoubtedly be granted

Slight BREEZE
QUICKLY BLOWN

Mr.. Highton was on the stand in the
Sumner case this morning, TO give evi.
dence regarding an alleged conference
at the Bishops episcopal residence.
Before testifying he volunteered a
statment to the effect that where he
was brought up in the legal profession
there was different system from that
here with regard TO the relations be.
.ween attorney and client, but under
the courts direction he was willing to
make a statement upon the matter for
which he had been called.
He went on with his evidence. Mr.
Humphreys objected TO a question in
cross.eXamination by Mr.. Magoon.
and the objection being sustained Mr..
Magoon excused the witness further.
Mr.. Humphreys at this point inter
posed a question Of privilege, claiming
the right in view of the privileged
statement made by the witness. At
his request Stenographer Horner read
the preliminary statement made by
Mr.. Highton, which Mr.. Humphreys
thereupon characterized as highly OBJ
jectionable. The gentlemen composing
the Hawaiian bar, the attorney said,
were mostly college graduates coming
from all over the Union. The humblest
of them held just as sacred view Of
the relations between attorney and eli
ent as Mr. Highton did. Mr.. Highton's
statement was nothing less than an in
suit to the members Of the bar and to
the court. .
Mr.. Highton, still on the stand, stat.
ed in explanation that in California
there was a statute governing the re-
lations between attorneys and their
clients which was very binding and
strict in its terms. There was no such
legal definition of the matter In this
Territory, and his statement had ref.
erence purely to this difference be-
tween the two jurisdictions. II would
not allow any professional brother TO
hold higher opinion of the members
of the Hawaiian bar than ! do" Mr..
Highton concluded.
Judge De Bolt said he had noticed
the expression of Mr.. Highton, LIT
without considering that 1t was meant
to be offensive.
Mr.. Humphreys stated that he was
satisfied with Mr.. Highton's explana'
ton, and this concluded the once
breezy episode.
George II. Merriam, Deputy Regis
trar of Conveyances, was next called
He produced a record book containing
, the lease from John X. Sumner of Ho'
nolulu harbor property to b. F. Dill
bingham and Mark p. Robinson. This
he was asked to read slowly, so that
II might be taken down by the stenog
rapher.
] Kapiolani Estate, Limited, VS.. PECK
& Co, Ltd, exceptions from the First
Circuit Court, came before the Su
preme Court this morning. Kinney
Ballou & Mechanism appeared fol
plaintiff; Castle & Weaver and An
drews & Andrade for defendant. Mr.
Weaver moved for writ of certiorar
to correct an omission OF a clerk Of
court, quoting authorities for that rem
edy. Mr., McClanahan opposed the mo
ton and suggested the right TO notice

the majority that the people Of Hawaii
can care for their own unfortunate.
Il II To be presumed that by failure
to endorse other important features
OF the Commission report. the business
organizations express tacit approval.
That This endorsement was not ex.
pressed positively Is to be regretted.
The sentiment on the coffee bounty is
to be found In the records Of the Com.
mission. but there can be no question
that additional support by cable would
advance the prospects Of obtaining
this favor as well as the appropriation
for harbors and Federal control of the
lighthouses. Honolulu ought not Ia

4 general impression seems to pre-
vail that Federal control Of public
lands will result in a general refusal
to renew leases now held by sugar plan
tations. If this should prove to be
the fact, il would work irreparable in
jury. The Bulletin, however, believes
in looking on the bright side. Taking
the recommendation Of the Commission
on the Punchbowl lands as criterion,
there is good reason to believe the les
sees Of land would he given the first
opportunity to purchase land occupied.
This would be the fair business policy
and there are mighty few individuals
or corporations that would not prefer
fee simple ownership to leasehold.

cock OF the walk" and owns the
whole leland of Maui by carrying it
in his pocket through his uncle's in.
huence. OF missionary extraction,
he is not as narrow as one would
think, but is liberal minded and fair
in a measure, for TO him is due the
credit of permitting Sunday baseball

self an enthusiast. He is not like his
dad, who loves his bottle and his
sport better than the gospel his

maintenance.

MINES TO RESUME
Reason

Rumors are persistent that the Hull
and Rust mines are to resume active
operations shortly after the first Of the
year but diligent inquiry has failed to
disclose any such intention on the part
Of the mining company. There, Of
course, is possibility Of the mines
resuming, but the officials have nothing
to give out that would lead one to
bank on such an event coming to pass.
The company is stocking the yards
with mining timber at present, which
may be taken as an indication that
the mines are not to be stripped. at
least not for year or two. A view
of the iron ore situation in the east
does not aHgur well for an early start
up Of the mines here. and il may be
that the Hull and Rust will not enter
the active list until late in the coming
spring. Mesaba Ore
