CUMMINS IN
SPEECH TALKS
OF THE TARIFF
IOWA SENATOR ALSO TOUCHES
ON RAILROAD QUESTION IN
TALK BEFORE MEMBERS OF
GRANT CLUB IN DES MONIES.

Des Moines, Sept. 15.-Senator Cum
Minis, in an address at the Grant club
last night outlined his views on the
tariff and the railroads. AS to the tar
iff he urged the need of capable com
mission to inform congress and the
people what the duties should be. In
regard to railroad legislation he reiter-
ated his unalterable determination to
carry on the fight for rates that shall
be fair both to the railroads and to all
shippers and all communities. In addi-
ton. he brought up the question of ma
val expenditure and announced his in
tention to secure from the people of
Iowa an expression of their opinion as
to this problem. In the meantime he
asked the Grant club to consider the
question In order to help him to reach
conclusion.
His Railroad Views.
Because he has not recently express
ed his views and intentions in regard
to railroad regulation in such plain
and concise form, this portion of SEN
ator Cummins remarks was listened to
with especial interest. Here are three
things which he declared should be de-
manded with respect to the operation
of railways in the United States:
First-That railways should not
charge more than fair return for the
service rendered.
Second-That the service to individ-
uals of single community shall be
without discrimination.
Third-That equal. fair and relative
rates be established as between com
munities.
'Of these things the second was Sc
cured by the present interstate com
merce law, but the first and third new
er have been nor never will be accom-
| plished until the statute is strengthen
ed he said.
| THE present law is ineffective II
this regard" declared the senator il
speaking of the inequalities of rate
as between communities. ut Was in
ineffective. know the men who drew

commerce commission at this time ha
no power to do the thing that son'
government commission must have TIL

what charges are fair and just as be
tween communities.
His Tariff Views.

luton of the tariff question lies i'll tn

which shall determine the difference il

cles at home and abroad. This known

May Compromise
Liquor Question

and not to the circuit court and jury.
With amendments providing for an
appeal only to a judge at chambers,
and only in cases of renewels Of Ii
censes, no appeals for new applicants,
it is thought that an agreement might
be reached to allow the bill to go
through.
One of the main objections of the
anti-liquor element is to the prospect
of an appeal to a jury, or to an or
binary court, with all the consequent
delays. By way of meeting this OBJ
lection one proposition considered is
that the new law provide that cir
cult judge, without a jury, shall hear
appeals, and that they shall have the
right of way for immediate hearing,
taking precedence over all ordinary
cases, with an appeal to the Supreme
Court similarly expedited.

PALOLO
FLOODED
FRANK COOKS DAM BURSTS AND
MUCH DAMAGE is DONE IN PA
LOLO VALLEY.

There was a flood in FalClo Valley
yesterday morning, caused by the
breaking of Frank Cookies crater dam,
which did at least ten thousand dol
lars worth of damage, carried away
a bridge and two houses and swept
clear many acres of vegetables.
Had it occurred during the hours OF
darkness, while the people slept, there
would undoubtedly have been some loss
of life.
At the head of the Palolo there is a
great basin which is the bowl of an
extinct volcanic crater, the natural
outlet of which is exceedingly narrow
and across this outlet Cooke had con-
structed a dam ten feet wide and ten
feet high, there being fifty acres or
more of basin behind it which Hills in
heavy rains, as it evidently f1lled with
il the past two or three days.
Yesterday morning this dam carried
away and a wall of water twenty feet
high and about thirty feet wide swept
down the valley with a roar. Taro,
SNOGL DOldIOGo, OllOllS, DolldHdo, lllOhll-
tain apple trees, fernsc and innumOr-
able other plants and vegetables were
washed halfway the length OF the val
ley.
Two small Hawaiian homes, Just be-
low the bridge near Clem Quinn's
pace, were carried away and washed
into the bed of the natural stream,
and the bridge itself was inundated
ard wrecked.
Homesteaders of Palolo are much
worked up over tne occurrence, mas
much as they now declare that the
builder of the dam had no right TO
construct so dangerous a contrivance,
and they are contemplating appeal to
the Legislature to regulate the con-
struction of such works.

HOUSE TO SUSTAIN
GOVERNORS VETO
EXECUTIVES CONSCIENCE EXPENDITURE OF PEOPLES
MONEY MANNER PROVIDED COUNTY woRKN1EN's ENAB-
ACT AMENDED NATE-HoUsE CABINET MEETS
NEW BILL. TO BE INTRODUCE FOR PAY ACTUAL WORKERS

Governor Frear this morning sent
his veto to the House on the enabling
act to pay men for public services rem
dered for two months during the fight
between the City and County Mayor
and Supervisors over the appointments
of employees.
The House bill, by Kaleiopu, was
originally to pay those men who had
actually performed the work.
Senate amendments which were
probably the cause of the cause of the
Governor vetoing the measure were to
the effect that all appointees be paid,
appointees under the Mayor and under
the Supervisors, evidently without re-
gard as to whether or not they had
done any actual work.
The governors message was to the
effect that he found it necessary, ac-
col ding to his conscience, to return the
bill unsigned, for the reason that it
was the money of the people which was
involved and he did ont see that the
measure was consistent with what he
considered just in the premises. There
were things in the bill which he fav-
orded, but, at the same time, there
were provisions in- the measure which
he could not put his signature to.
The House cabinet" held a meeting
in the stenographers' room immediate
ly after adjournment, Speaker Holstein
and the chairmen of all House stand
ing committees being present and at
that meeting it was decided to sustain
the Governors veto and on Monday to

Two compromise settlements Of the
liquor law controversy are being dis
cussed, which may lead to a disposal
of the troublesome question without
amendment of the law. c. G. Ballen-
tyne, chairman of the Oahu liquor COM
mission, is said to have offered his re-
signation and Treasurer Campbell will
also leave the board ,and the liquor
men may be ready to abandon effort
to amend the law in view of con-
siderable change in the license board.
The policies and arbitrariness of the
present board are said to have caused
the amendment agitation.
The other suggested compromise is
to provide that the proposed new law
amending the liquor law shall definite
ly provide that appeals from the COM
missioners shall be to a circuit judge,

Alfonso suggested that the sergeant

resolution as a josh, said he though
such a resolution, if passed, would
work out as sort of an indignity.
