"Let Us have a straight answer, -

cit is this way. - said Makekau. get
ting ready TO explain all over again.
''Im bet you 81 that You work for

- Ewa1iko viii hold the stakes. VIII

''It is this way" began Makekau
again. but he did not take the bet.
"You ought to be elected TO stay
at home. " said Achi scornfully.

They chewed on that for while.
1.-The talk in Honolulu is all about
the senators. - said Achi "Thev don t
talk about the delegate, they don t talk
about the prohibition question, but
they do talk about the senators. And
there is going to be trouble. The fourth
ators from Oahu. Al the men who
have been suggested or have come for
ward are from the fourth: there is not
one from the fifth. Now it is an I'M
written law in the Republican party
that one time the fourth gets two sen
ators and the fifth one. and the next
year the fourth gets one and the fifth
two. This year the fourth should have
only one, and still they want all three
senators. | tell you there j. going to
be trouble.
They drifted on to Hawaii affairs.
1.-The Island of Hawaii should do
one thing this year. said Achi. cit
should get a bill passed providing for
the election of the tax assessors and
their deputies or, at least for their ap
pointment by the board of supervisors.
There is more sugar more cattle, more
sheep, more everything on this island,
and still Oahu pays many times more
taxes than does Hawaii The assess
ments should be raised here, and, if the
assessors were elected, they would
raise the assessments to get revenue
for the county That Is what I am ad
vising the people from Hawaii.
Achi was informed that the present
system was credited with being not
only good, but exceptionally well ad-
minjstered
FsWelI, / don't care, it 5 nothing to
me. " answered Achi. 4 am not 60
ing to work for it for Oahu, for there
we are all right. and II is up to the
Hawaii legislators to look after their
own island affairs. What do YOU think
