does not seem to any politics in it, and he shows liberal spirit IN

discussion of the primary Unlike those who constantly seek

nor Frar looks primary law designed to give greater
effect to party spirit of the and less to the sehh n
few He IAN incentive to party activity OF e
right kind and that its need here is not so very great
as in other places that experimental STEP worth trying IN
the right direction. This is sane view.

ELECTIONS.

Primaries-Some years ago a great
wave of reform in the election of pub
lie officers swept over English-speak-
ing peoples, with the result that the
Australian ballot system has been
adopted nearly everywhere, the object
being to secure as far as possible a
true expression of the choice of the
people, Experience has shown, how

A special car arrangement is being
fitted up by the Oahu railway shops
for the transportation of the two big
fort guns from the railway wharf to
Pearl Harbor. This car is twice the
length of the ordinary fat freighters,
and will have ample room for one can
non and its supports. The car will
be ready in few days for its big task.
Captain Bedford, the expert rigger
brought down by the Mohican. has
started work getting his tackle in
shape for hauling the guns from the
hold of the barge. The great shear
logs will first be landed from the Mo-
hican on wharf No. 1 and erected in
the form Of an inverted V. From
these the tackle will be strung, and
the pulling power will be supplied by
engines of the railroad company. Bed
ford anticipates no trouble whatever

that it will take time The rigger Will
go to Pearl Harbor later and super

appropriated and expended, the result
necessarily is deficiency; and IL a leg
islature appropriates more than the
assured income it necessarily does so
in contemplation that the executive
must exercise discrimination in Che
expenditure, to its own embarrassment
and the dissatisfaction of others.
1t is of little service to point out
broadly that the cost of government
here exceeds that of many other places
in proportion to population. This fact
is that government in Hawaii Is un-
usually expensive because of many
special conditions. That is no reason,
however, why it should not be con-
Quoted as economically as possible.
The Aim.-The aim should be to as
certain the unvarnished facts as to
revenues and needs and then unflinch-
ingly follow where they lead l feel
confident that your honorable body
will proceed in a business-like way
to meet the situation.
The aim should be, further, not
merely to keep expenditures within
revenues or within revenues plus cash
on hand, but to accumulate and main
tain a sufficient working surplus for
carrying the government from one tax

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-02-17

commonly supposed that legislature
in making appropriations is guided as
a rule by personal and local consider
ations and that the outcome is usually
the resultant of conflicting attempts
to secure as much as possible for what
comes nearest home. To concede that
this is true in some degree is no re-
Election on legislature. Even a ca
sual observer, however, must admit
that our legislatures have, at least for
some time past, compared faorably
with others in the standards of gem
eral good that have been maintained.
The fact is that needs are always great
and means always inadequate in this
expanding country. The problem is
one of real difficulty.
To cut down or strike out an appro-
priation for the salary of this or that
apparently valuable officer or for what
appears to be a pressing need of this
or that object or locality requires pa
triotic courage and firmness, and to
comprehend the various needs in theii

| ity of high order and painstaking in,

ment is providing the building and
$25, 900 for Hawaii's exhibit, in con-
temptation that further provision will
be made by the Territory or its peo-
pie. Other contributions are expect
ed from private sources, but additional
funds are required and should be pro-
vided by the Territory. Hawaii has
provided for exhibits at various gen.
eral expositions in which she had COM
paratively little interest. The expo
sition in question is largely for her
and she has a very special interest
in it, The Northwest naturally should
be one of her best markets, and this
is rare opportunity for her to ad-
vance her place materially in it. More
over, she should meet part way the
generosity of the National Govern
ment.

DRAMATIC EVENING
TUESDAY FEB. 23RD

The dramatic evening to be given
under the auspices of the Dramatic
Circle of the Kilohana Art League at
the Opera House next Tuesday will be
in the nature of social and patriotic
entertainment
The curtain raiser, Washington S
Birthday" deals with the incident of
the cherry tree in a noval and at
tractive manner, emphasizing the cir
cumstances which were largely res
ponsible for the telling of the tree.
The three-act comedy to be presented,
"PyGmalion and Galatea," is one that
has been played with great success by
many of the best companies. 1t is a
strong play, with the interest well sus-
tanned throughout, yet there are many
comic developments that give it a hui
morous turn.
Tickets are now on sale at Berg
