LET US Try PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

! Without in any way antagonizing
the present private ownership of pub
lie lighting, the city of Salem should
try a public ownership plant.
Those who favor public ownership
should organize and make the effort
to secure public lighting plant for
the city.
A public ownership club should be
formed, literature circulated, and the
matter should be promoted in a pub
lie manner.
The present city charter is very ia.
vorable to public ownership. The
people should undertake action before
that charter is amended.
All that is necessary is to submit
a proper petition with a certain num-
Der of signers, and the city council
must order an election.
If the matter is voted down that is
the end of it. If the proposition car.
ries the city must proceed to install
a plant as soon as practicable
The Wilcox property offered the
city has from 500 TO 600 horse power
ready to convert into electric light.

Of land, and the big brick mills and a
perpetual water right are offered for
$4,000.

the city should acquire the ownership

WHAT MAUI NEEDS
IS GOOD ROADS

While the United States as a whole
was yet a virgin forest, with only a
belt of settlements along the Atlantic
Coast. a grand highway was planned
and built for many hundreds of miles
due west through the unbroken forest
Settlers swarmed along this highway,
lining it on both sides for its entire
length with happy and prosperous
homes. The same conditions exist on
Maui, and we are only awaiting good
roads around East and West Maui to
see a large increase in our industrial
and agricultural output. The govern
ment is now fully awake to our needs,
and a competent engineer should at
once be sent here to entirely renovate
our public roads, commencing at Wal
luku, Lahaina and Kahului. and the
money should be forthcoming to en-
tirely reconstruct our road system by
regarding, widening and macadamizins
all our roads, so that in future all our
road money will not be eaten up in the
repair of badly built roads. Although
it might cost more of present outlay
at first, it would prove cheaper in the
long run, and give US good roads in tbs

About Assessment Laws.

for failure to assess. -[0ttswa Herald
The Kansas Assessment and Tax

Section 6S-"The several township
and city assessors shall meet at the
county seat In their respective coun-
ties on the first Monday OF March In
each year, and then agree on on equal
basis Of valuation Of such property as
they may be called upon to assess"

MOTOR WAS USELESS
Inventor Benbow Tells Why His
Airship Did Not Fly.
A LEAK In THE GASOLINE TANK.
Above the Ground AZ Minutes but
Was Propelled by Its own
Power for Only Brief
Period.

st. Louis, Nov. 23.-After remaining
in the air for As minutes, only for q
brief period of which 1t was propelled

Meteor" the airship designed and con-
strpcted by Thomas Benbow, Of Column
bus, Mont, was brought safely to the
ground in an open field three miles
southeast of the worlds fair areo-
drome.
The airship was navigated by the in
ventor, who stated after the flight that
he considered 1t very successful in the
light Of the accident that happened to
his machinery. A leak in the gasoline
tank allowed all the fluid to escape and
rendered his motor useless shortly
after he had started the fight. Ben
bow was also handicapped by having
too much gas Id his balloon and 1t was
necessary for him to allow some of the
hydrogen to escape during the fight.
For that reason he did not start the
motor until he had drifted with the
wind for nearly q mile. During the
brief time that the motor was working
the airship made Roadway against the
wind and answered It's rudder perfect
ly. Shortly after Benbow Started his
motor he found that the gasoline had
become exhausted and allowed the
Meteor to drift with the wind until he
found landing place.
