GOVERNOR VETOES
THREE MORE BILLS
FALL OUT OF LABORERS'
WAGE BILL-DOESN'T LIKE
JURY FEE BILL, EITHER.

The Governor reported three mes
sages to the House yesterday, eacn
Of which contained veto. In none
of the cases was any action taken by
the body, the matter being deferred
until tomorrow.
Senate Bill No. So, which was vetoed,
provides for rebuilding a road from
Kappa in South Kona, to Kahuku, in
Kau. The Governor declared such
bill would set bad precedent, and
that there was no more reason for 1t
than for the legislature to repair any
roads which are damaged by storms
or rains.
Senate Bill 6, relating to juries and
trials by juries, and providing for in
creasing the fees for jury duty from
81 to SO per day, the Executive vetoed
on the grounds that such an increase
in fee not only would make a great
additional burden on the Territory,
but would tend to produce a system of
professional jurymen. He declared
that the bill would increase the jury
expense at least 1922, 900 above that now
being paid. 1t should be the patriotic
duty of enlightened citizens to perform
jury duty. The reduction "as if in
paliation" of the milage from 10 cents
to 3 cents, would be far from offset
ting the increase, the Governor
thought. If the fes are increased, the
increase should be paid the ligitants
as in the case of the H1-deral Courts.
Senate Bill 81, on which the Execu-
tive axe also descended, was one fix
ing the pay of laborers on road and
other public works at $3.50 per day.
This was one of the popular vote get
ting measures of both Houses, and
went through with a cheer. The Gov
ernor, however, says that it would
restrict counties and make needed i'm
provements impossible, besides he
says: ut is an attempt to limit by
legislation the price of a commodity,
a course never wise" It would also
be hardship to less able workers who
would be deprived of work they might
be able to do, and the varying condi-
tons in different sections would make
it very ineuuitable way of having
necessary work done

PLANNING A NEW
FIELD DAY MEET
PLANS ON FOOT AT Y, NJ. c. A.
TO HOLD BIG FIELD SPORT CON-
TEST IN MAY.

Plans are on foot for what is expect
ed will be the largest and most I'M
portant track meet of the season, to
be held some time in May under the
auspices of the Y NJ. c. A. athletic
association. Although nothing more
than the bare outline of the affair has
been discussed, DR. Hand will no doubt
decide fully within a few days and
unless some unexpected obstacle
arises to prevent, the athletic event
of the season will soon be in full
course of preparation.
If the plans do not miscarry some
of the best field men on the Islands
will test their ability and strive for a
bunch of the handsomset medals ever
seen on a local field.

To REPORT ON
/. WRECK

A. w. Perley, inspector of tracks
and safety appliances for the state
railroad commission, with head
quarters at Olympia, is in the city.
He has just returned from an in
spection of the Kennewick wreck,
of which he will say little, as no re-
port has yet been submitted to the
n1n1ission. The office occupied by
Mr.. Perley was created at the last
session of the legislature for the
benefit of railway employees and
since, April 1 Mr.. Perley has made
an extensive record Of inspections.
The contemplated action taken by
the commission to compel the n. p.
to build double track on either
side of the Cascade tunnel for the
purpose of relieving traffic conges-
tion has been abandoned. as this
road has reduced it's tonnage to
such an extent that an improvement
Is looked for. After close inspection
Mr.. Perley attributes the main
cause of the congestion to the fault
of the operators in keeping trains
standing upon sidings an unneces-
sary length of time. At the pres
ent time a train passes through this
tunnel every SO minutes.
Mr.. Perley's first complaint TO
the commission called attention to
disabled cars hauled by means Of
chain couplings past places where
repairs could have been made, in
violation of both state and federal
laws. He found cars at Ellens-
burg, chained together, ready to be
hauled to Tacoma for repairs, it
being a common practice Of the y.
P. TO haul cars from near the shops
at Pasco over the mountains to
Tacoma.
The new laws passed at the last
session of the legislature will be
enforced by Mr. Perley June IA.
One restricts all railway companies
throughout the state from working
their men more than 16 consecu-
tive hours. Another requires that
all fagmen must be able to speak
English.
Mr.. Perley was for % years an
o. r. & N. engineer. He is max.
ing an official inspection of tracks
and equipment in this city.
