Carter VetoeS
Famous County
Salaries Bill

Governor Carter this morning We
toed the famous County salary grab
bill. and said he took pleasure in do
ing so. His veto message read as fol-
lows:
Herewith | return House Bill No.
1886. entitled AN Act to amend Sec
ton 2S of Chapter of Act 80 of the
Session Laws of 1906, entitled An
Act creating Counties within the
Territory of Hawaii and providing
for the government thereof" which
: am unable TO approve.
This bill adds S1G,3G0 for the COM
ing biennial period to the cost of ad-
ministering the Counties and de-
Lrives the public of an equal amount
for much-needed improvements in
roads and other public work which
the Counties now maintain.
There appears at present to be only
one County which enjoys n sufficient
revenue to warrant an increase of
salaries. and do not consider 1t
sound to ieopardiZe the operation Of
the Counties by increasing salaries,
without at least n formal request
form the Supervisors. who should be
consulted. as they are in n measure
held responsible by the voters for the
administration OF County affairs.
This. the first session of the Legisla-
ture following the Inauguration Of
County government. proceeds to raise
the salaries of twenty-eight out Of
the forty-six County officials.
As the bill carries no Eppropria-
ton. am obliged to act upon II as a
whole. and as many of the increases
hich It forces upon the Counties
are absolutely unnecessary, | take
pleasure in recording my disapproval
OF any such waste of public money.

TIE orEREc RRLDGE DISiSTER.

In its latest issue Engineering News de-
votes great deal Of space TO the testimony
ELECTED by the Canadian commission which has
been Investigating the collapse of the Quebec
bridge This confirms the opinion that the de-
feet which caused the disaster was not in the
material supplied. but in the design OF the bridge
Itself In planning the longest cantilever span
ever yet undertaken the builders were obliged
10 work out and complicated problems.
They sought 10 determine the amount Of metal
Fequired 10 impart adequate stiffness To- certain
members OF the proposed structure, but in the
0kerest of their principals as we'll as for their
own sake, they aimed TO put no more metal into
It than necessary. The lighter the bridge
was the lower would be the price demanded
fer il. In their calculations the engineers of
the Phoenix Bridge Company followed estab-
lished precedents closely-too closely. it is now
believed-but adequate strength was not pro-
vided, and the Canadian commission puts the
blame on the designers of the work.
Commenting afIesh on the accident "Enyi-
neering News holds that the primary respon-
sibiiity rests on the bridge company, but in-
sists that there is n secondary responsibility
which should be taken into consideration. The
authorities at Quebec employed Mr.. Theodore
Cooper 10 act us consulting engineer. and in
behalf OF his clients he inspected the plans sub
mitted by the bridge company His favorable
opinion of them gave the contractors additional
confidence in the excellence OF their design. In

LECTURES WORTH HEARING.

A series Of lectures about to be given ut Co.
lumbia University on Methods Of the Great
Financial Corporations" deserves 10 attract many
who are not in the habit of listening to the val
liable public addresses given on Morningside
Heights. Business men and students Will have
the unusual opportunity Of hearing experts who
were in the thick of the recent disturbance
bring out the full significance OF the now relen.-
ing money stringency. Mr. Frank \. Nanderlp
will describe the modern bank, Mr.. Thomas L.
Woodlock the Stock Exchange and the money
market, Mr.. 4. Barton Hepburn the relative
merits of government and bank currency, Mr.
Albert Strauss the movement OF gold and for
eign exchange, Mr. James c.. Cannon the rela-
ton OF the Clearing House to banking institu-
tons, Mr. Paul NJ. Warren American and Euro
pean banking methods and laws and Mr.. George
W. Perkins the part played by corporations II
modern finance. Given these topics and dis
position the part of lecturers and audiences
alike to thrash out the why's and whereforeS OF
the passing money stringency it is safe to fore
cast some memorable delivcranccs.
The idea of bringing fnanciers before ihteli:-
gent, fair minded audiences is peculiarly
happy one at this hour, when many persons are
hastily drawing gloomy generalZati0ns from
recent occurrences in the financial world. II
the size Of the audiences corresponds TO tie
probable Importance of the lectures hundreds Of
persons will learn that imperfections in hnan-
cial methods or laws are much like all other
human shortcomings, in that they can be clearly
discovered only through hard experience and
cannot be remedied on the instant.

FAITH AND THE PLAGUE.

\ current dispatch about the attitude OF Ind
ian Mahometans toward the bubonic plague
and the British governments measures for its
extinction casts al instructive light upon the
present situation in that empire and the difficult
ties which have beset the administration, and
also upon one Of the gravest elements of the
white mans burden" The Mahometans
have hitherto as matter Of religious faith re-
fused to evacuate infected villages The Koran
forbade them TO flee from the wrath of Allah"
and accordingly crying "Kismet.'' they elected
TO die Of the plague as a visitation of God and
go to Paradise rather than escape the epidemic
and run the risk of being damned for saving
their lives. But now some higher criticism
prevails, and the word has gone forth from the
Ilemas that the Koran in fact commands men
10 quit places upon which Allah sends the bu-
bonc plague an Interpretation of the text which
the Faithful will probably accept and obey with
alacrity.
How disastrous were the results of that per-
sistence in obeying supposed command Of the
Deity may be appreciated from the estimate
that fully 2J0,00O Mahometans thus died
whose lives might have been saved if ony their
faith superstition had permitted them to
follow the instructions of sanitarians We NAV
imagine the embarrassment and exasperafion of
the government administrators at being COM
PEELED I'D stand idle and see those whom they
were able 10 rescue dying Ike flies in "A frost
and 10 find. moreover the difficulty of protecting
others immeasurably increased because of that
stubborn belief in "KisDet" But What WAS In
Ice done: Religious freedom was guaranteed
To compel men 10 do that which they supposed
their faith forbade would have violated that
principle. would have provoked wide suspicion
and resentment amopg the Mohametan mill
ions of India aud would have given critics nf
British rule the world around a pretext for i'll
