A Different Proposition.

There IS great difference between
transportation by railroads and trans
portatlan 10y water. In the first place
railroads receive from the PEOPLE
through their legislatures. franchises
and other valuable privileges and con.
cessions, for which it is only right and
proper that the government should in
return exercise some control and super
vision over the operations Of the rail
roads. Not only are railroads given the
right of eminent domain. through which
valuable rights of way are obtained.
but III addition thereto it is a well
established fact that railroads are usu-
ally built with the money realized from
the sale of bonds, and the capital rep
resented by the issuance of stock con,
sists principally Of water It is there
fore only natural to suppose that in
order to pay not only the interest on
their bonds hat dividends to their
stockholders besides, that railroads en-
deav0r to charge all the traffic will
bear as freight rates, and it is for the
purpose of regulating such charges and
protecting the public from any unjust
impositions in the matter of freight and
passenger rates that the interstate COM
merce law is made to apply.

No Water Monopoly.

"On the other hand. carriers by
water do not receive any such conces-
sions or privileges from the people as
are accorded to railroads, and thev have
no exclusive franchises which would
prevent other persons or companies
from entering into competition with
them in the carrying of freight and
passengers, 1t is needless to repeat
what has been said so often before.
that the ocean is free and open to all,
and no assistance from the government
in the way of franchises or other con
cessions is required to enable any one
to enter into the field of transporting
freight and passengers on the ocean
from one port to another.
For these reasons it would be IN
Just and unfair to apply the jurisdic
ton of the interstate commerce com
mission to any company carrying on
the business Of transportation by water
and it would be extremely unjust and
extremely unfair to apply that law to
this Territory only and to exempt all
other parts of the United States from
its operation.

Venture That Failed.


fact. On one occasion, he himself ask
ed the management of the Inter Island
company to grant a special rate u
fret CHIT on thimble berries from HiIo /.
Honolulu, to see if any business c0ulC
be developed in that line, and the com
pany agreed to bring the berries to Ho
nolulu for three months without charge
but IN spite Of this the venture proved
a failure.
TO show you, gentlemen, what the
people of the mainland think Of the
proposition to put water transportation
under the jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce law. let me quote from an ar
ticle published in a prominent marine
journal during the month of May last
which reads as follows:
"A bin introduced by Senator
Elkins recently, as an amendment
to the Hepburn Act, is intended to
bring regular steamship lines en-
gagged in coastWise trade under the
control and regulation of the in
terstate commerce commission. 1t
terstate Commerce Commission. 1t
is admitted that coastwise traffic by
steamers is regulator of freight
rates and the public generally has
been much benefited by competi-
ton existing between regular lines
and other steamers. 1t frequently
becomes necessary for the regular
line steamers to meet cuts in freight
rates TO save the traffic. and to ham
per them with the restrictions of
the interstate commerce law would
be detrimental to the general trade.
One of the worst features IN con
nection with this regulation. would
be the requirement that regular
lines must publish their rates and
can not change same without Civ
ing thirty days notice This bill
has met the disapprovaI Of all com
mercjal bodies not only on this
coast. but in the East and on the
Great Lakes. and memorials are be
ing sent to congress to protest
against its PASSAGE
Nou can see from this article. gentle
men. what the feeling was among the
commercial bodies there, when If wa.
proposed to extend the Jurisdiction Of
the Interstate commerce law to all wa
ter transportation companies in the
coastwlse business. and this was much
falrer proposition than is now proposed
where only one company Will be affect
el. The bin mentioned above was killed
in the senate in short order.
In conclusion. I wish to say. that the
company which / represent has ALWAYS
eudeavored to give the public as good
service in the transportation business

No Benefit to Result.

"Now. as to the objects TO be gain
ed by extending the interstate com
merce law to water transportation in
Hawaii Is it going to be the means
of benefiting any OF you gentlemen in
the securing of lower freight or pas
senger rates. What has been the re-
suit in its application to the railroads
in this Territory? Has there been any
appreciable reductions made in freight
or passenger rates by the action of the
interstate commerce cOmmissiOn2 Why,
only few days ago. prominent rail
road official told me that since they
had been under the interstate law. he
had informed members of our local leg
islature, that he would snap his fingers
at any attempt they might make 10
regulate their tariffs. and this position,
gentlemen, has been made possible
through the application of the inter
state commerce law. Do you want the
same thing to apply when it comes to
water transportation Such a thing
is unheard of in any other part of the
United States. for the business men
know, that the best regulator of rail
road freight tariffs. is competition by
water transportation companies, and to
hamper them with the regulations Of
the interstate commerce law. would put
an end 10 the only means in their
power to keep the gront railroad monop-
oles from charging eXorbitant tariffs.
The interstate commerce commission
will not do this IN spite Of all that
is said to the contrary.

The same story is true of Hilo. All
the Hilo and Hamakua sugar used to
come to Honolulu at high rates. Now
it IS nearly al shipped direct at low
rates. while Hilo imports more mer-

five years ago; but Honolulu's business
with H;lo has Increased many fold,

Fears for Honolulu.

What the merchants Of Honolulu
should look out for, first, last and all
the time, is, to retain the business
they are enjoying at the present time
and try i'll every way to increase that
business. Speaking as one who is a
Native Son of this city and who takes
pride in its commercial importance and
development, it grieves me greatly to
see anything done that is going to stop
the progress of Honolulu, but gentle
men, it only needs a few things like
he proposed legislation. to injure this
fair city in such a way that it can
never recover lis commercial supre.
macy.

mont from the World.

From Bangalore comes the strange
story OF a German recluse named
kasper Schieffmayer. who lived alone
In village near st. Johns Hin and
was found dead in his room, having
succumbed to a neglected attack OF
bronchitis. Mr.. schienfmayer went to
India about 30 years ago as a spe.
cialist in agriculture for the govern.
ment of Madras, but as the climate
did not suit him, he resigned the ap-
pointment.
Proceeding to Bangalore, he pur-
chased over forty acres, and never
left his estate, even temporarily, for
the rest of his life. He occupied a
room about eight feet square, the only
articles in it being a cot, a chair and
few cooking utensils. His food con.
sisted of milk and eggs and loaf of
bread supplied to him daily, and the
one eoolie whom he employed was al
ways sent away before sunset A val
liable stock Of cows and pigs and some
savage bull terriers were in fact all
the companions of his life.
His peculiar habits developed to
such pitch that he gave up wearing
clothes except when Obliged to see
some rare visitors who came on bust
ness, This eccentric way of life was
attributed to an early love trouble
which was believed to have turned the
agriculturist into a misc
gynist and a world hater
A few months before his death a
letter was forwarded to him from the
German consul at Madras to inform
him that he had come into consider
able fortune, but the old hermit
5eorned to acknowledge the commune /
cation and died intestate.
