EXPLOSION INJURED
KAMAAINA SKIPPER

Capt. William It. ShOrey, one of the
best'known whalers who ever came into
the port of Honolulu, had narrow
escape from death in the mysterious ex-
plosion on the ferryboat Berkeley, at
San Francisco, recently.
He, with several companions, were in
the men IS lavatory when the mining en-.
gineer, John o. NOrbom, entered. A
few moments had elapsed when there
was an explosion of the nitro -glycerin
or some other high explosive in the
pocket of the mining engineer, who was
thrown up in the air against the beam
over the doorway, where he fell n
mangled and almost unrecognizable
mass. The force of the explosion was
such that every movable article in the
room was thrown from its place and

Captain Shorey was a familiar figure
on the waterfront several years ago,
when he was master of the John and

he. stated that every pound of rubber
which was worth in the neighborhood
of Sl.40 costs at least 81 to produce.
and even then there are other fixed
charges before it is ready for the mar.
ket. AS against this, however, is the
fact that the older the tree is the great.
er win be the flow, and corresponding.
" the greater the profit, and it is this
fact the growers are largely basing
their optimism upon. The question Of
the scarcity of labor was another
point which Anderson emphasized. This
is remarkable fact, as the work is
not hard and the rate prevailing
amongst the growers as rule is 81 a
day, and half that amount for unskilled
boys. There is always trouble, how.
ever, when it comes to the question of
engaging them, as they are not easily

| ticket, the more can the voters find out
about them and form correct Judgments
in regard to them. Attention may be
concentrated on few, not on many.
Better men have to be nominated In
order to get elected, and there is more
lndueement for better men to run. The
idea would be to elect simply the super
yisors in each county and city and
county and let them appoint the other
officers, excepting the auditor, who also
might be elected, because he should be
independent. of the supervisors.
Election of Supervisors.
!" In the second place, one of the most
effective means found elsewhere to pro.
mote efficiency in local government is
that of electing the supervisors at large
and not by districts. This has several
advantages. A candidate who is to be
elected by larger constituency must
In general be man of greater ability
or higher character, or both, than a
man who is to be elected by a smaller
constituency. A supervisor so elected
is also apt to consider himself more the
representative of the whole county. and
not merely of his district. Supervisors
are now so elected in the CITY and
County of Honolulu. This might verv
well be extended to the other counties
with possibly a modification in the case
of the county of Hawaii. where a nor.
ton of the supervisors might be elected
from one side of the island and the
others from the other side, or three
from each side and one at large. or all
might be elected at large, but three he
required to be residents on one side
and four on the other.
The Business Idea,
I'm the third place, the old notion
that there should be in tv and conn.
ty governments, as in State govern
ments, distinct executive and a dis.
tinct legislative body, is also now be-
ing rapidly discarded, and in place of
it there is growing belief that city
or county government should be con.
Quoted by one body, like that of the
board of directors of corporation.
There is no need of separate mayor
with a veto power. He should be one
of the board and have no veto power.
Business should not be clogged or de.
layed by red tape or by having mayor
OF one political party and board
OF different political party The ma
Jority of the board should control the
policies and take the responsibility
and be in position to proceed in a
businesslilSe way. Consequently, it may
be well to make the mayor a member
of the board ;Nthat is, in the City and
County of Honolulu have board of
seven members, of whom the mayor
shall be one. The mayor could still
be elected as such and be the presiding
officer and have a general superntend-
ence over the work of the city and
county, bat he would primarily be
member of the board with a right to
vote and act as other members, but
without veto power, just as is the
case with the chairmen of the county
boards.
"These changes, if made, would
probably better be made so as not to
take effect during the terms of the
officers who are already elected; that
is, they should not take effect until
the next election"

J FThis division does not necessarily

I ties IL would seem to be lust as AID
visable even II the Territory should

but the question arises here whether
/ it would not, especially Under these
circumstances, be just as well to turn
( the assessment and collection Of taxes
over 10 the counties. They ought 20
be able to perform those functions as
| well as many that they have now, and,
in some respects, they would be in a
better position than the Territory 60
collect certain classes Of taxes. If thew
had these functions, their voters would
be in better position to hold their
supervisors TO responsibility and would
take greater interest in the elections.
"This division also does not neees-
sarily involve the rate of taxation be-
ing fixed by the county governments,
and yet here, also, il might be as we'll
to go a step further and permit them
to fix the rate, but within prescribed
limits The limit might be made one
per cent, as it is now, and the super
visors be permitted to make it as much
lower as they please. This would tend
still more to fix responsibility upon
them and to compel the voters to take
an interest in the elections, because
there would be conspicuous direct con
nection between the supervisors and
the amount of money which comes out
of each VOTER u ronkat
More Responsibility.
f'It might be well to go still further
and require the supervisors to fix one
rate for running expenses and another
rate for permanent improvements, the
two together not to exceed one per
cone. This would furnish an additional
inducement TO the voters to hold their
supervisors to strict responsibility and
to see that only the best men were
elected, for it would be to the interest |
of the voters to keep down the run
ming expenses as far as possible and |
have as large a proportion of the taxes |
as possible go to permanent improve
ments.
"Undcr this system each county |
would stand by itself and could assess
its property as high or low as it wished |
to without affecting other counties, and |
if one county made good showing by |
keeping down its running expenses and I
taxes The voters of other counties !
would sit up and take notice and want :
to know the reason why their super |
visors did not do hkewise.'

Crosson viii run against another OBJ
stacle. The United States and the Wa
hiawa Water Company, being joint own
ers of the water, or having undeter-
mined rights therein, have entered into
an agreement which amounts to a par
tition of their rights, and in our opin-
ion exhausts the possibilities of using
the water. Under this arrangement the
government has first call upon all the
water needed for post or encampment
purposes, and the rest is allowed to
flow into the Wahiawa reservoir. This
is the arrangement evidenced by the
bill passed by congress confirming the
rights of the Wahiawa Water Company,
which has already heen published. 1t
can be easily seen, under this arrange
ment, that the water to which the
United States is entitled may OF may
not be more than they would otherwise
get. At any rate, it is an agreement
that has been made and acted upon,
and while no question win be raised
as long as the United States govern
ment is using the water for its own use,
yet if it should sell and try to divert
more than was needed for its own pur-
poses the Wahiawa Water Company
would claim that the contract must be
lived up to-"
Inaccurate Surveys
1t is also contended, and the conten-
ton is borne out by some who have
been over the ground, that the present
survey lines marking the limit of the
reservation on the Waialua side have
been run where it was easiest for the
surveyor to go, rather than where they
properly belong. The survey line is
said 10 follow the trail made by the
ditch company, without regard to
where the theodolite pointed. while the
main and final line, from the end of
the trail to the summit of the range,
has not been run at all.
The result Is that the reservation
lines now enclose sections of the home.
stead ditch, the intake for the ditch
and the whole north fork Of fhe Kan
konahna, which an accurate survey, 1t
IL claimed, would place without the
reservation and where the proposed Me.
cfosson bin could not affect them,

ANNUAL SCARE.

WE had our scare for nothing:
The blow refused to drop.
Experts inform US we will have
A bully. bumper crop.
July alarmists told US
A blighting drought had hit
All growing vegetation
And scared US to fit.
There was no use in talking:
There wasn't any wheat.
The corn would be a failure,
And then what would we eat1
And everything was blasted
They said. with faces grim.
Late rains might save some patches,
But picking would be slim.
But now how do we find 1t
Since fun reports are nader
Well have enough for eating
And for the export trade.
Just shy few potatoes.
But in the other lines
We will have more than plenty,
According to the signs.
And thus It always happens.
The fearful raise din
Predicting woe and famine
Before returns are in.
But somehow or another
The average every year
Keeps twostep with consumption,
And that's how man Is here.
