Ballinger Seems TO Have Played Slick
Scheme On lie President.
WILL BE LOOKED INTO
Alleged that Taft on Advice of Bis
Brother, Ballinger and Ryan Re
stored Alaskan Lands to Domain
So Guggenheim Interest Might
Grab Them.

Published charges that the presi-
dent had, been induced by three per
sons---his brother, the then Secretary
ofthe Interior Ballinger and Richard
S.Ryan of New York, representa-
tive of the Guggenheim interests--to
restore to the domain lands sur
rounding Controller bay, in. n.southern
Alaska, met with quick action in Con-
gress. s.,...se.s s,.,,s z
The house committee on expendi-
lures headed by Representative GTa-
ham, of Illinois, Immediately sum-
moned Commissioner bennett, of the
general land office, to appear before
the committee to explain what he
knows about the matter, and Repre-
sentative Cox, of Indiana, one Of the
democratic leaders Of the house, In
troduced resolution calling on Pres
ident Taft for all the information
he can furnish on the subject.
The Cox resolution requests Pres
;dsnt2 Taft to submit all papers and
information in his possession relating
TO his executive order of July 20,
1910, restoring to*public domain the
lands surrounding Controller Bay:
It sets forth published charges in
timating that Ryan, through Secre-
reary Ballinger and Charles P. Taft,
induced the president, Of the United
States to sign the order.
1T points out that through this or
der the Guggenheim syndicate
'shas now or will get control of Con-
troller Bay or 'harbor," and requests
the president to advise the house
whether Messrs. Ryan and Balm
ger and C. P. Taft induced him TO
sign the order restoring Controller
Bay land to public domain, which
previously had been set aside as a
national forest reserve whether the
president had information that Ryan
was working in the interest OF the
Grgganheim syndicate.
IT am going to push this resolu-
ton" said Representative Cox. II
the rules committee fails to act l
will bring it up on the floor OF the
house. There is something radical
1y wrong about this whole transac-
ton. Baked by the refusal Of the
government to allow the Cunning
ham coal land claims, this gang IN
Wall street evidently is determined
to secure control Of this coal land.
They filed on the Controller bay land
the only available harbor through
which the Alaskan coal can be SHIP
ped before the government could ev-
en- have it surveyed after the presl-
dents order withdrawing 1t from
the Chugash reserve. '..
Failing to secure the land, they
have now gone after the only means
of transporting coal and with a rai:-
road from the coal lands to Con-
troller bay they could absolutely dc
tate to the owners Of the coal land
Representative Graham, chairman OF
the interior department, expenditures
committee, also has been looking in
to the matter. According to the be-
lief here and in Alaska, Ryan, IN
his efforts to obtain railroad terml-
mails at Controller bay, has been
working in the interest of an Eng
lish syndicate.

ence I'm favor Of peace I'm the Pacific.
War between Asia and America would
mean the humiliation of our business
prosperity and the stiii more system
attic transformation Of these smiling
shores iuto an abhorrent engine Of
destruction. AS long as we remain a
Territory we shall have no voice in
preserving good feeling between Chi
ma, Japan and the States. But if we
win statehood we at once assume the
position of mediator We are the on
ly part of the American Union that
even to the slightest degree under
stands the Chinese or the Japanese.
That knowledge is an asset in the
realm Of craftsmanship of untold va
lue. The Nation would recognize 1t
at noce and our representatives
would be accorded the influence de.
manded by their possession of this
quality so essential to coming world
craftsmanship.
The psychological time then has
arrived for striking a blow for the
larger liberty, wider influence and
! greater dignity of statehood. Hawaii's
! past as an Independent nation de-
mands this evolution as a matter Of
poetic Justice. 1t accords with the
fitness of things. It will be a step il
the development of our Nation from
a mere continental to a world Power
It will make for the coming Fedora

Time TO CAMPAIGN
FOR STATEHOOD HERE

It looks well and sounds well. It
is time to organize a campaign to Sc
cure it. During the past few years
mutterings of possible government
by commission have grown ominously
frequent and the late plebiscite work )
ed entirely in the direction of this
unpleasant outcome. Unpleasant be-
cause We have some power now, but
under a Commission we might as well
be a lot Of slaves. and no one likes
that sort of thing. Unpleasant be-
cause commission government might
easily be worked to the detriment Of
our industries. A commission would
have no incentive to develop the re-
sources of Hawaii A commission
would have no incentive to develop
the resources of Hawaii. It would
almost certainly become an adjunct
of the military and naval interest
soon to be so overwhelmingly CEN
tered here. Let us not have Hawaii
Gibraltarized With a commission
government civics would expire
among our people To compare our
conditions under a commission with
that of the District of Columbia is
manifestly unfair. The entire Ma
ton has a definite interest and pride
in its capital that it never could feel
in these far away islands. If com
mission should rule here, goodbye to
Hawail's ever becoming a center Of
influence or vital essential 1art Of
the Nations life. BY all means let
us fight unitedly against such an out
come.
If not commission government,
then let us seek self government in
the largest sense, and that means
statehood. There are two objections
to creating Hawaii into a state One
is the preponderance of the Hawaiian
voter. That will soon be a negligible
quantity, both because he is dying
, out and because the tide of immigra-
! ton. from the mainland is beginning
to flow. The other is the large AS
iatic population. This is not to be
t dreaded because the second genera
| tiCn is rapidly growing up into citi
, zenship and we know that no class O
' our people will make better Ameri
' cans than these children of orientals
> educated to love and uphold our in
4 stitrticns.
e Probably no more favorable oppor
n tuni;y to push for statehood will eve
present itself than is afforded by tn,
present political situation at Wash
ington. The two great parties are 81
evenly' divided that Hawaii's vote
l. would mean much to each. Many o
Il our states owe their creation to ilk
I circumstances and have justified tn
wisdom of the action that made then
integral parts of the Union. Hawai-

PUNCHBOWL
As A PARK

1t is a welcome announcement that
Mr.. Paul Isenberg will park the slopes
of Punchbowl. No more public spirit
ed undertaking for the benefit of Ho-
nolulu could be devised This hill
is one of of the greatest scenic assets
we have because of it's central and
prominent location, It's artistic pos
sibilities are very large indeed. 1t
is to be doubted whether any other
one thing would add so much to the
attractiveness of the city as the de-
velopment by landscape gardening of
this old crater and it's slopes. Mr..
Isenberg will certainly deserve the
deep gratitude of all our citizens if he
succeeds in his project. Every pos
sible pressure should be brought to
/ bear upon Washington to turn over
the hill to our Territory for the pur-
/ pose contemplated by our generous
/ fellow citizen. The next great move
ment should be for botanical garden
! Some one of the valleys running up
I into the mountains would offer an
ideal location and with generous sup
port our city might in comparative

cal garden in the world. These early
days afford the golden opportunity foi

CENTRAL UNION
HAS NEW PLAN

A committee Of flfty-six leading
members of Central Union church met
last night in The parish house at din
ner and discussed a new plan for
organizing the finances of the church
and making it a more democratic ms
stitution Up to this time it has been
customary each year to send blanks
by mail to the people of the church
asking subscriptions to cover expendi-
lures. As a consequence only a small
number have contributed and at the
close of the year a deficit has remain
ed for a few to shoulder. President
| Lowrey of the board of trustees last
night stated the conditions, explained
the procedure thus far followed and
called on the minister TO set forth the
new plan approved by the trustees by
which every man in the constituency
of the church should be seen by one
of the fifty-six committeeman during
the coming week and given the privi-
lege of taking an active part in the
support and business management Of
the church.
Addresses were made by ]. p Cooke,
w. o. Smith, A. Lewis Jr., w. r.
Castle, H. F. Wichman, D. L. With
ington, w. A. Bowen and ]. r. Gait,
after which a unanimous vote was
passed to enter into the campaign.
Rev. Mr.. Ebersole then explained the
details and the company resolved it.
self into a business committee, each
member taking list of names and en-.
tering his own subscription.
: The following letter was sent today
to each of the men enrolled with the
church:
Dear Sir:-For many years the
funds required to maintain the work
of Central Union Church have been
secured by mailing subscription blanks
. to all our constituency. The response
has been generous but confined to {
fraction of those who look upon Cen
= trail Union as their church. At the
! close of each year a large deficit has
remained to be made up by few in
dividuals.
"Many of our people are urging tina
: a more businesslike plan be introduced
which shall provide for the entir
budget at the opening of each year b.
securing a subscription from ever
person in our constituency. Wher
every enc does his part the burde
does not fall heavily on any one Will
far more effective work and niue
greater efficiency are sure to result.
'In order to reach every individual

/ this committee will call upon you fo
your subscription and we trust 20
will deem it a privilege to subscribe.
'Inasmuch as all loose change drol
