Speaker of CaIifornia LegisIa- lure Stops Measure By
 Personal Appeal
SPECIAL MESSAGE SENT
 ID HOUSE BY GOVERNOR
Legislators Urged to Go Slow With the School Segregation Bill Be- cause of Present Relations
 With Japan.

Sacramento. February 5.-Speaker Phillip A. Stanton took the floor today, and by u strong personal appeal secured unanimous consent of the assembly to postpone fur ther action on the Japanese school segre- gation bill until next Wednesday.
 He said he had information, which he could not reveal. which tended to show that the assembly was treading on danger ous ground in passing the anti-Jananese bill.
 At the conclusion of the speakers ad- dress, Grove L. Johnson. author of the measure, asked that the matter of recon sideration of yesterdays vote be put over until Wednesday, and his motion carried without dissent.
 The governor sent a special message to the house recommending the postpone ment, and in the debate 1t was suggested by leaders on both sides that the meas ure be referred to the committee on Judiciary and submitted to the attorney general for an opinion as to it's constitu- tionality.
 Senator c. A. Minette introduced the Japanese school bill in the senate. Both houses adjourned until Monday.

want the coastwise law abolished? /
don t think you will find anybody here
who will ask to have it abolished en-
tirely. We want American shipping
developed, for we depend upon ship
ping more than any other portion of
the Union, and if the United States
should 60 to war we realize that it is
upon American ships that we would
have to depend. Consequently we want
to go slow about aboiishing the coast
wise laws.
s'As a matter of fact, it is not coast
wise travelling to come over here to
Honolulu from San Francisco any more
than it is international travel to go
from New York to Boston by steamer.
'Coastwise' means along the coast. Ha-
wall is 1000 miles distant from the
coast, at right angles to it. What is
the remedy? A ship subsidy, to GER
tain extent. A ship subsidy will at
least retain the ships now running here,
and / greatly fear that without ship
subsidy the Pacific Mail Company will
be compelled to withdraw some of its
steamers if business is not better with
them Perhaps Mr.. Sehwerin does look
at the dark side of things sometimes,
but have seen the balance sheet of the
company, showing that many trips are
made at a dead loss. The company
went astern nearly a million dollars
last year, and even Hartman could not
stand a steady diet like that.
eff the Pacific Mail ships are with
drawn, we will have to depend on the
one Oceanic boat and the small Matson
steamers, and then what viii another
Congressional party do to get heres
They may have to sleep out on the
decks. Meanwhile, we feel no certain
tv of q Subsidy being granted. We
have seen the President and influential
men in Congress supporting ship sub
sidy measure for many years, and 1t
goes down every session. Meanwhile,
we are left in situation which is be-
coming more and more aggravated.
"What we have asked in the past
and what we ask now is that American
shipping be protected, but until Amer
lean shipping develops enough we ask
that the coastwise laws be suspended
and foreign steamers be allowed to
carry the surplus of passengers which
American ships can not carry until the
solution of the problem is worked out
''This will be entirely according 10
precedent The coastwise law was ex-
tended by law to the Philippines about
the same time that it was to Hawal1;
but the manifest impossibility OF
American ships performing the service
has caused Congress to suspend the OPP
Grafton of the law again and again, and
the last Congress suspended it indeti-
nitely.
eve ask for as fair treatment as has
been given the Philippines. Work the
great shipping question out as seems
best: but meantime let rs travel to the

mainland come here while the problem
is being solved. F"

adjusting. The land question needs
some adjustment, but our most crucial
problem, for the present, is the ques-
ton of transportation between here
and the mainland Of the United States.
When the Organic Act was enacted
there was incorporated in it a provi-
sion that the coastwise laws should be
extended to include Hawaii Amer
lean shipping has always been in a
majority here. In 1875, the year be-
sore the Reciprocity treaty was en-
acted, 1872 American ships entered Ha-
waiian ports, representing 81 per cent.
of the total entries In 1899, the year
before the passage of the Organic Act,
there We're $50 American vessels en-
tering Hawaii, amounting to 6S per
cent. of the whole. In 1890, 76 per
cent. were American. The reduced
number in 1899 was simply because
there were not enough ships flying the
American flag to take care of the com
merce. In 1900 the Organic Act ex-
Guided foreign vessels from carrying
freight and passengers between Hawaii
and the mainland Since then Amer
lean shipping has only increased to SO
per cent. So far as freight carrying
is concerned rates are reasonable and
facilities are adequate. We have one
small pilikia in connection with fruit
and that is in connection with fruit
carrying. When our pineapples ripen
they ripen with a rush. They do not
ripen on steamer schedule, and then
there are not enough American yes
sells to carry the product to the main
land. We would be greatly bene
flied if we could ship fresh fruit on
foreign vessels as well as domestic.

here a letter from a gentleman in San

stating he was not able to sail on the

he had applied to three vessels ahead
the China, the Manchuria and the Lur
line; but they were all booked full
with waiting list ahead, and they
do not know when he can get here.
"We have been advertising this
country as a tourist resort. We be

not get here unless there are ships to

The Problem of Rural
Education

The Lewiston State Normal School
has collated statistics concerning the
educational situation in the state, The
percentage Of illiterates in Idaho is
the same as that in the state of Nebr.
aska nineteen years ago. In the latter
state, a revival of interest IN education
particularly in respect to the better
training Of rural teachers, occurred
during the early Gus. with the result
that the ratio of illiterates has been
decreased from 1919 to 3.
In seeking cause for the large per.
centage Of illiterates in Idaho, we Are
confronted with the following statistics
In Idaho. 8 per cent OF population
is urban. "a per cent are rural.
In Montana. 27.7 per cent of popul.
alton is urban.
In Washington, 80 per cent of pop
ulation is urban.
In Oregon. % per cent of population
Is urban.
Consequently. in no other state in
the northwest is the situation 90
plainly indicated. Unquestion able,
the solution of the problem of raising
educational standard of the state, an
lowering the illiteracy. will be found
in the better training of rural school
