EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES.

oahu rarely has an earthquake. 1t
is many years since the last disturb
ance of that kind occurred and then no
harm was done. Though tradition COOS
back among the natives more than a
thousand years there is not one of a
seismic CONFUSION here on the island
Of Hawaii sharp shock Is now ana
then felt, one due to the presence Of in
active volcano which, when 1t takes In
fuel or starts its vast machinery causes
the earth about 1t to tremble. The
movement. when. 1t comes is much less
alarming than the ordinary temblor in
California. There the earth sways back
and forth as If some Titan had grasped
ii and was trying to hurl 1t, now this
way and now that, into the depths Of
space. Here, the effect is that of u
thrill. a mere nervous SILVER, which
passes in a second or two and hardly
disturbs the pictures on the wall.
The causes of difference are readily
guessed. California has no vent for
imprisoned gases except such as it
makes by opening, through seismic en-
ergy, a million tiny cracks in the soil
Just after an earthquake there one
smells sulphur as he does near the
crater of Kilauea. The odor pervades
the air over the whole affected district.
Here, with the chimneys of Kilauea and
Mauna Loa always opener If not open
to be easily cleared by pressure from
below-the gases have little trouble in
reaching the surface. They expand and
the volcano, being the place of least
resistance, let's them out. 1t would be
well for California with it's 7asr under
lying strata of oil and natural gas If
Shasta and Mount Whitney were ac-
tive; and it is not unlikely that the
splitting of the Golden Gate, which
biologists attribute to an earthquake
occurring within three or four hundred
wears past was a sequence of the sud-
den extinction of volcanic fires. That
there may never be such basic change

Territory could have for it. Fortunate

THE TWO PER CENT ASSESSMENT.

lican party of Hawaii to adopt any oi

which have been rejected by the ma
tional managers and have peeh ue-
nounced by Theodore Roosevelt. ne

and more years ago was uirecleu

this practice and he and others sue

THE LAND COURT,

There are other things of less public
necessity, which can be dispensed with
in the Territorial plan of economy bet
ter than the Torrens land court.
Titles to land in Hawaii are in I'M
settled state. Purchasers of real es-
tate are required to trace back through
years of changes and descriptions of
metes and bounds of uncertain ac-
curacy, and designated by Hawaiian
names which in all cases have not been
carried down to the present day.
Weeks are often required in the
searching of records, and a title under
the old system is not only expensive
but litigation does not always end with
the passing of the deed Hawaii has
more need of a system such as the
Torrens land registration than prob
ably any other state or territory.
Eventually the land court will
straighten all the real estate tangles
in the islands, and with the Torrens
system better understood, the process
will be one of only few years. III
economy requires a reduction of eX-
penses in that particular court, there
is no reason why this cannot be done.
Probably the court could be continued
in mere skeleton shape, with only a
judge and clerk, and if need be these
could be made fee rather than salaried
officials In a measure the court Is
self supporting now, applicants for
registration paying fee for the SER
vice, which becomes a government re-
ali2ation. Rather than see the law
repealed and thus unloading the work
which ii may again take years TO ac-
complish, the court might be put en-
tirely ON the fee basis for a limited
period and be maintained at a mini
mum expense to the taxpayers. a few
titles have already been registered I'M
der the provision of the Torrens act
and the Territory is under n moral il
not legal obligation 10 maintain
them, To appeal the law now would
certainly be a backward step.

A CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.

The Legislature meets tomorrow,
called in special session by the Gov
ernor for the express purpose of reduc-
ing the Territorial expenses to an
amount not in excess of the Territorial
income.
The general sentiment of the business
portion of the community has been
against calling this session, on the
ground, based on the past, that the eN-
penses of the Legislature would be
greater than the reductions in Terri
torial outlay would amount to. The
need of the most rigid economy on me
part of the Legislature in its expenses
is therefore necessary if 1t would re-
gain the confidence which was lost by
the occurrences of the last session.
The major portion of the expenses
then and nearly or quite all OF the alleS-
ed graft, was in connection with the
translating, printing and proof-readlhg
work The Committee on Printing, etc,
sent around to the various establish
ments to get their figures for doing the
work of printing only. That is to say
they did not want figures for the proof
reading or translation and they would
give no guarantee that the work or any
portion of it would go to the office max
| ing the lowest figure. Under such con-
ditions asking for figures was sheer
nonsense as no business concern would
think of getting down to bed rock I'M
less they We're assured of getting the
work in event of their figures emitting
them to 1t.
If the present Legislature means bust
ness from a business standpoint; II IL
means economy from business stand
point; If it mean honesty and wishes
! to prove that it means 1t, the Legls-
| lature will call for tenders from every
printing establishment in the city OF
sufficient capacity to assure the work
being done promptly and properly. III
will call for SEALED TENDERS to be
opened at stated time in the presence
of the bidders and 1t will guarantee to
such bidders that the work Will go to
the lowest one, eXacting a bond II nee
essary for the prompt and faithful per-
Torrance of the work. The tenders
should be made to include proof-read-
ing and translation If the Legislature Il
going to publish in English and Ha'
waiian as heretofore.
1t Is doubtful if this business methoc
will meet with the hearty approval ol
some of the legislators as 1t does away
with all chance of graft or favoritlsn
and gets down to the cold blooded bust
ness principle of the most goods To-
the least money. This is the principl,
that Governor Carter Is working OF
however and this Is the principle thu
taxpayers are asking for and have
right to expect from the Legislature
