CUT THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT DOWN
PAYROLLs ARE CUT
MOORE OPPOSES COUNTY PAY
ING so MUCH FOR THE BAND.

There was a rather brief session of
the Board of supervisors Saturday cv-
enmg. Supervisor Moore was not pres
ent but he had the clerk read a vigor-
Gus protest against supporting the
band. The measure was voted down.
His letter was as follows:
ITO the Chairman and the Board of
Supervisors, County of oahu:
Gentlemen: As a member of the
Committee on Ways and Means of the
prcscnt Board, and feeling the respon-
sbIlity of the proper use Of the funds
of the County, l wish TO enter this
my protest, against the appropriation
of any considerable amount of money
for the support of the band. 1 viii
give my reasons as follows;
"On the basis of the last uppropria-
ton made by this Board for the band,
we would be spending an amount equal
to Sl9SO0 i'm one year for music. This
is a luxury and should only be in
dulged i'm, i'm case the Board have more
funds at their disposal than necessary,
to maintain the departments of the
government in frst-class condition.
Another reason: The band is COM
posed of enlisted men i'm the National
Guard of the Territory, and under the
direct orders of the Governor. There
fore I believe that if the band is to
be supported, it should be Supported by
the Territorial Government.
Another reason that l can give is
that on the basis of appropriations as
given above for the band This Board
is spending more money for music than
it is for lighting thee itN
Now it is a fact that lights are
protection, and of great benefit to
the travelling public. We have main
tanned the electric light system at an
average of $145O per month, this
amount including salaries and mainte-
nance There is great need of more
lights in the city, and such money as
the Board can spare, should be used
to benefit the public generally by in
creasing public utilities.
In closing, 1 would state that I be-
lieve it is the duty if this Board, if
they subscribe any amount for the sup
port of the band, to limit the amount
subscribed to not over $5Oo, and then
let the hotels, Rapid Transit Company,
Promotion Committee and the Terri
tory, furnish the balance Of FUNDS nee
essary.

After some discussion the Board
passed the salary list of the band at
$3.50 for December.

police department for December was
submitted by Supervisor Dwight. The
cut made the new schedule as follows:
Specific salaries, $685. foot patrol,
$3.50; mounted patrol $3.50; country
police, $780, incidentals, $500; detective
fund, 800; supplies for prisoners, $3.50,
and Attorney Generals Department,

Archer objected to the last item but
after some discussion the new rate
was passed.

THE CONSIDERATION OF SEX.

Do women accused of crime enjoy
peculiar advantage because of their
sex? The question is often debated by
lawyers, and it is generally conceded
that woman in distress holds an influ-
ence over masculine jury that often
clouds the issues of the case. 1t has
even been urged that women, to be
tried impartially by their peers, should
be tried by women jurors.
Statistics have been collected to
show the relative chances of conviction
for men and women accused of crime.
They do not bear out the general idea.
The records of the New York courts
show that only twenty-five per cent
lenses are acquitted. while the general
record shows forty-one per cent of ac-
quittals The larger percentage of
women convicted is explained by the
fact that women are seldom brought
to bar by the authorities without SUBJ
stantial proof of their guilt. On the
other hand, there are more often
grounds for a verdict Of justifiable
homicide when woman kills a man
! than when a man kills another of the
same Sex. =
The record shows another thing
however. The tendency is to find
women guilty of a lesser degree OF
crime than men. In recent years no
woman has been convicted of first de-
gree murder in New York City. and
the majority of the convictions are for
manslaughter in some degree Evil

VOLUNTARY LIFE INSURANCE

Life insurance without solicitors as
a general proposition is about as prac-
ticable as a revival without an ex-
horter, a resolution without a mover,
a referendum without an initiative.
OF course. there are exceptions.
There is British company which en-
ploys only secretary and Office force.
People come to. the Office and wait
their turn to be insured. They are
largely people who have been stirred
on the insurance question by some one
company employing solicitors.
1t is proverbially difficult to bring
people to the point of actually taking
insurance because it brings them al
ways face to face with the assurance
that some time they are going to die.
The average man, when this idea is
presented to him, is at first mad, then
sad and finally filled with an animosity
the news. The majority recover from
their insane hatred of the solicitor and
take insurance. The rest go on as they
We're and when they die the insurance
agent, if he still survives, uses them as
a warning.
,.As an employing concern the life in
surance company is composed largely
of the agents and it is this class who
are very likely back of the movement
in Massachusetts to prevent the issu-
ance of a charter to a company which
proposes to sell life insurance with
out agents They probably base their
opposition on the idea that the new
company would get no business except
what they stirred up. 1t might work
out this way: A is solicited to take
insurance He is convinced that he
ought to have it, but instead of taking
it with B.. who solicited him, he steps
around the corner and takes it from
the new company which. having nc
agency expense, can deliver the goods
to him cheaper.
The indisposition of one man to work
fer another is natural, and yet there
seems no ethical reason why the in.
surance man should not be compel!e
to assume this burden. In other com.
peritive business the public is entitled
to the advantage of the lowest bid
even if the high bidder has a large ex,
pense account and has made the bus
mess what it is. The prestige of hi:
past successes cannot insure him con.
his business so as to be able to Civ,

WHOM DID BURDETT REPRESENT?

The Nav number of the Journal OF
Political Economy contains an article
| by everett w. Iurdett, of the Boston
Rar ",yho spent much time last sum-
mer in Great Britain" accompanied by
q competent staistician, to investigate
municipal ownership. The Journal
Of Political Economy in it's advertise
ment does not say that 1t sent Mr..
Burdett abroad, which has given rise
to some curiosity as to who did send
him. His name does not appear in any
of the known lists of independent in
vestigators and the Journal of Political
Economy does not vOuch for him. He
appears to have gfone on his errand
about the time Mr. Howe made his re-
port to the department Of commerce
and labor, and some have supposed
that as he returned with figures dia-
metrically opposed to those of the gov
eminent observer somebody sent Bur-
dett for the purpose of contradicting
Howe.
But Mr. Burdett has not returned
with anything new. He furnishes the
information that there is little politics
in the British city governments and
contradicts himself by saying that the
property interests are alarmed by the
growth of the number of persons who
vote solid for extravaganza" That
is to say there exists already, accord
ing to this observer, class of voters
who have "a vague belief that if much
is out something Will come their way"
He has also discovered that there is
a zone system and that transfers are
not given, from which the inference is
drawn that street car fares are on the
average higher in Great Britain than
here. This is contradictory of the
statement that even with this advan-
tage with concededly honest admins
tration, and with low capitalization,
compared with American sysems the
financial results are unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Burdett evidently was not content
with proving enough for his clients.
He attempted too much.
Mr.. Burdett's text from which he
preached he got in Great Britain from
hos 1ya6f q
mo municipality should undertake any
project with the taxpayers money,
which could be done as we'll or better
| by private enterprise"
There is nothing in. Lord Hamilton's
remark which would prevent him from
being a thorough going public owner

ed not at the owning Of telephones and
street railways, but at the side issues
Of municipal trading which have crept
in The use of the streets for transpor-
tation purposes may be such natural
monopoly that there is no question of
the right and duty of the municipality
to use the ratepapers' money for that
purpose, and yet the situation might
| not justify the municipality In building
cars or in making rails. Those might
be made cheaper and better by private
| capital.
The report Of Mr.. Burdett = fails
somehow to make the distinction
which is growing up in Great Britain
between municipal ownership and mu-
nicipal trading. 1t is well understood

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt's Panama
Canal message read before the |. >.
Congress on Monday is nothingmore
than an account OF his trip to the
canal zone, and what he saw while
there. President Roosevelt is very
much OF an optimist so far as the
outcome of any project with which
he is connected is concerned, and 1t
was therefore to be expected that
upon his return from Panama he
would give a glowing account OF
everything connected with the con-
struction OF the canal, and when one
reads the message it will be at once
seen that he measures fully up to
that expectation. His only criticism
OF affairs is that saloons for the sale
OF intoxicating liquors are too nu-
merous, but these, he states, will be
reduced to the proper number after
Jan. /, 1907, when the license tax
will be very materially increased.
PROFESSIONALLY the Presidents re-
port OF the condition of affairs is
very encouraging, and there is
little doubt that sanitary cOndi-
tions have been wonderfully i'm
proved and that real progress has
been made in the construction OF the
canal, with every prospect that the
progress will be greater as time goes
on
