EMPLOYER ON THE LABOR WAGE
VETO.
Honolulu, April II. 1909.

Honolulu, April Il, 1909.
Editor Advertiser: It caused me
great satisfaction to see that our Gov
ernor Il viii use this occasion TO ex-
press my heartfelt thanks to the Rev.
Chas. F. Dole for his kindly admoni-
ton to more frequently use the little
pronouns tour has vetoed that mis-
cbieyous bill to raise the wages Of road.
laborers.
1t seriously reflects on the inteili-
gence of this community that it should
be found necessary to state those pal
pable reasons. Are there then still peo-
pie who earnestly believe that the con
dition of the labOring class can be i'm
proved by the raising Of wages? The
theory that the very opposite is true
is universally accepted by our most
progressive corporations throughout the
United States and it is really in the
interest of the laboring class that wages
are now being generally reduced If
they only could be reduced sufficiently
in all branches of industry then the
problem of the unemployed would
speedily find its solution. 1t is self
evident that if wages were cut just
in half double the number of men could
be employed and we would find our
selves once more in a position where
we could say: Everybody who wants
to work can find work.
Since this the more important reason
has been so ably represented by our
Governor it might not be amiss to
strengthen his argument by mentioning
some further though less important
points lest our Legislature should on
account of lack of argument override
his veto.
We employ on our plantations a class
of laborers who earn all the way from
ninety cents to $1.25 per day. These
men would undoubtedly be selfish
enough to eagerly grab the higher wage
and so not only seriously embarrass us
by leaving us shorthanded and compel
US to raise wages but would also in
directly infiict unmeasured injury up
on the whole laboring class.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that our
Legislature will act in this matter with
that profound wisdom for which it is
so Justly commended and unanimously
sustain the veto of our Governor.

COSTLY AND ILLEGAL.

Editor Advertiser: If any citizen
wants to enjoin the Legislature from
using the Hawaiian language in its pro-
ceedings, the translation outlay, with
its alleged graft, may be brought TO
an abrupt end. The dual language pro-
position is as Illegal as it is costly;
and it tends encourage the least com
petent of Hawaiians TO consider them
selves eligible to be law-givers.

How That Portion Of Northern New
Spain Got Its Name.
The country now called Mexico was
not so called till 1910. when the revolt
against Spain began. Up to independ-
ence the country was called New Spain
and was divided into the same number
OF provinces as Spain, each with a
name OF a province in Spain, with the
prefix Of new" but New Mexico was
not included In this division. II got its
name In this way:
In 1861 Francisco Ibarra was In

instinctively conceived her to be in

was soon to have unexpected evidence.
Gazing at her with a sense Of grow
