TO RECONSIDER
SPOKANE RATES
ANOTHER HEARING WILL BE
HELD JUNE 9
COMMISSION PoSTPoNEs EFFECT
OF ITS DECISION
New Schedules from Pacific Coast and
from the East Will Be Enforced
July I, Instead of
Month Earlier
by Associated Press.l


WASHINGTON, May 15.-As a result
of several conferences the interstate
commerce commission today announced
a postponement from June l to July l
of the time for taking effect of its de-
cision in what is known as the Spokane
rate case.
A further hearing of the case will be
had on June 9.
The commission recently postponed
until June 1 the time when the new
rates ordered by it should go into eff
feet, but as the result of conferences
within the last few days with the rep
resentatives of the Hill and the Harrt-
man lines it was decided today further
to postpone the operation of the order
until July l.
The railroads involved-the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern, the Union
Pacific, the Oregon Railroad and Nav
tgation company, the oregon snort
Line and the Chicago and Northwest
ern-were today notified of the decision
and also of the assignment of the case
for hearing on June 9.
The railroads will on July 1 put into
effect in accordance with the decision
of the commission, what are known as
'class rates" from Pacific coast points
to Spokane, which are 16 2-3 per cent
lower than the present rates. They also
will put into effect at that time the
commodity rates from the east to Spo-
kane, which are much lower than the
present rates, but not as low in proper
ton as those ordered by the commits
sion.
Commissioner Prouty stated today
that the commission had declined to
express any opinion either way as to
the reasonableness of the reductions in
the rates from the Pacific coast, and in
the commodity rates from the east to
Spokane, that question having been de-
for
The purpose of the proposed hearing
is to allow any possible objection that
may be made to the filing of the rates
on "short time notice"

MERCHANTS and STEAMERS.

Not few of the American steam
ship operators in speaking of the I'M
provement of the ocean passenger
service between this city and the
mainland have stated to the b u e.
I n that the great difficulty they
face in making plans that involve
millions is the tickle nature of the
Honolulu business men, more partic-
ularly the mercantile interests.
These steamship men state that
they are expected to invest sevral
millions of dollars in passenger steam,
ers on the assumption that they will
receive the support of the business
community for continuing the pro-
lection given American ships. Aft
err this money is invested and the
ship put on the run, they have nc
reasonable assurance, judging from
the past, that these same merchants
will not then turn around and de
mand suspension of the protection
because one or two ships going out
OF the port happen to be crowded In
the rush season.
The Bulletin must confess
that the comment made by number
of the business men interviewed by
its representative lends strength to the
claim of the steamship men.
In some instances the replies arr

might II not be well to call general
conference of The officers of the Re-
publican party in this city? Let
the conference include every Repub-
lican precinct officer who will come,
who wants to know what to do, or
who has suggestion to make.
Thus WIKI the party managers show
that recognition of the party workers
that the six reorganizers with sew
enth advisor most unfortunately for
got. Thus will the party free itself
from the situation created by the
meeting of the seven, when, by infer
ence, all, or great many Republic
can workers were ruthlessly swept
into the scrap heap of incompetents,
lackadazical. disinterested, devil
may-care Republican.
No one will be more ready to i'm
mortalize the six or seven reorganiz-
ers than the Bul letin. But we
want It done in such way that the
Republican party will not suffer
more harm than injury. We are not
now prepared to deny that three
thousand four hundred and ninety
five Republicans will unhesitatingly
follow In the wake of party led by
Lorrin Andrews. for instance. Just
at the present time some rather in.
fiuential men of the city have init.
mated that they might not.
Rather than enter into any way
side rows over this point. the b IL |
let n would suggest that the regu'
larry elected officers of the Republi
can party shall be allowed to handle
the situation preliminarily at least
and that they be asked to do It.
Then all of the citizens, includinf
the Recognized Republicans ant
the Working Republicans and the in
ventors of the reorganization meet
ing. can get together and sacrifice
themselves on the altar of civic dut!
in united, MISUNDERSTOOD, well
planned and non-factional fight TO
Republican victory.
Business men of Honolulu will
come to the scratch when they hav
confidence that regular party work
ers are on the job and not puttini
up a job.

almost amusing because the correc-
lions proposed are identical with the
program of certain mainlanders In
dealing with Hawaii and its main in
dustry--ruin II, In order that the
American reconstruction may be
American indeed
This of course cannot be and will
not be. The American people viii
no more stand for such plan In
connection with the merchant ma
rine than they will allow such a
policy to be followed toward the in
dustries of these islands.
Ruination to gain reorganization
is so far from the ideals and prac-
teal workings of the American rep
resentatives in Congress that the
prospect of suspension of the coast
wise shipping laws in their applica-
ton to Hawaii is very slight indeed,
and the real issue as 1t will develop
in the next few months will be
whether Honolulu people will sup
port transportation conducted by
local people in the interests of local
! traffic or trust to what may be given
hem by outsiders.
Views expressed by our citizens
are interesting and instructive, and
not the least educational feature is
the fact that no two offer the same
specific solution. Condemnation is
spread over the situation in ample
layers by some, but condemnation

To say that our locally owned
y Gteamship companies cannot handle
the situation Is to brand the aggres-
sive spirit of Honolulu that has done
wonders in industry and enterprise
as lacking in one all-important
branch of business progress.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the time will soon come when
the radicals for foreign shipping
will see that there is much virtue in
the claim of the radicals for Ameri.
can shipping, and this port will be
in the happy position of having
transportation facilities meeting ev
cry need, flying Honolulu houst
flag as well as the American flag
self-sustaining and giving the peo
pie what they want.

EXAGGERATING HONOLULU'S
EVILS.

Merchants of Honolulu need not
be surprised If the navy department
issues an order against paying OH
enlisted men while ships are in this
port
The cause for this order will be
the hullaballoo raised by certain
section of this community over alleg-
ed sale of beer on Sunday, and the
rank misrepresentation and studied
exaggeration with which their news
paper organs presented the matter
before the public.
As to the virtue of the assault On
the Honolulu brewery, the b lie :
tin Is not prepared to speak until
the courts are heard from. We have
not heard of complaints against the
brewery from the naval officers.
with the Misrepresentation of con-
ditions in this city we are vitality
interested.
Records of the navy will show that
when two thousand men were grant
ed shore liberty on a Saturday night
and Sunday not more than seven
men were arrested for drunkenness.
That's a pretty good record for this
town and a mighty good one for the
navy. ...
Yet, In the face of this fact, two
of the newspapers of. Honolulu de-
voted columns Of space and all avail
able scare-head type to prove thai
that Sunday was marked by a sail
ors' saturnalia of beer, booze, broker
bottles and buzz wagons.
These false reports go back to thu
homes on the mainland. to the fami
lies of present enlisted men and o
prospective enlisted men, with thu
result that this town will get nam'

officers of the army and navy, and a
least an equal number OF civilians.
Honolulu citizens in general an,
Honolulu merchants in particula
may take 1t as absolute fact tina
they will receive mighty few favor
from officers of the army or the nav
when the presence of naval flee

START AGAIN With PARTY
WORKERS.

Most certtinly was the word
reorganization" unfortunately chas-
en- in connection with the meet
liz of the six Republican men,
bers of the County Committee
and Deputy Attorney General Lorrin
Andrews for the purpose Of naming
a committee of outsiders to do things
to the party.
Therefore let our committeeman
and fellow Republicans refrain from
perpetuating the error.
Pretty nearly everybody in tie
Republican rank and file feels that
however well intentioned the move
ment may have been, the proposition
as related to the general welfare OF
the Republican party was not unlike
a japanese getting off Rapid Tran

Party men are not quite ready fol
the Territorial officials to assume the

Territorial administration has al

Republicans were always In office
and has not always played SQUARED!

organization.
Business men in the organization
and among the workers on the out
side are not yet quite ready to hav'
themselves recognized and politi

But without wasting any tim

devote themselves to starting owe
