LIGHTNING ROD PEDDLER
NO PEDDLER, SAYS JllR

Tyndall, S. D., Dec. 15.-The frst
case tried in circuit court now in SEES
sion in Bon Homme county was the,
criminal action against E. b. Shaver,
or the case commonly known as the
tightening rod case. After being out
eight hours the jury could not agree,
upon a verdict and Judge Trip dis.
charged them. The balloting stood 10,
to two for an acquittal.
h case has attracted considerable
attention throughout this part of the
state, as the defendant was arrested
last August on the charge of peddling
tightening rods without first obtaining
a license. The defendant contends that
he did not properly come within the,
meaning of the South Dakota peddlers
statute. He was connected with a firm
in Mitchell which Is engaged in the
manufacture of copper cable for light
ening rods and if it is found that their
agents fall within this law it means
that the company will nave to. go out
of business.
The stand which the jury took means
practically an acquittal and it Is very
doubtful If Shaver viii even be tried
again.

THE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT BILLS.

Supporters of popular government in Hawaii can depend
on that they playing into the hands of their enemies
by accepting the bills that propose sweeping changes the
laws governing our City and County, and which in some in
stances represent the latest adS of some other American
IctleS but lack the vital items OF popular government
f 1On0llS city government can never be stable nor in
ISpe the confidence it should if the Legislature pseS the
form of the government every two years. The people
sooner get acquainted with and learn certain faults of one
form and system than someone jumps into the ring with
radical change.
The proposed municipal commission bills now before the
Legislature, lacking as they do the initiative, referendum
and recall, merely measures to promote bosssm and
corruption without in any way improving the character OF
the governing officials.
Honou's present need is represented in the Republican
platform that promised incidental corrections as made Obv
ousy necessary by experience That does not mean radical
and revolutionary revision of our municipal laws
Not one of he'muniCipa commission bills should ever be-
come law or near law without having been thoroughly
vassed and voted on by the people, The party that does not
recognize the right of the people to pass upon changes in
their organic law, whether that law be Territorial or muniC
ipa is slated for defeat and properly So

ONE PERCENT TAX FETISH.

Amendments TO the proposed County tax law have been
suggested by the Legislative committee of the business or
CARNATIONS placing the limit of the personal and property tax
at one per cent.
The presumption is that the committee believes there is
grave danger OF the taxation going beyond the one per cent
limit authority for estimating the expenditures and deter
mining the tax levy is left with the local governments.
The Bulletin believes they assume altogether too
much
Ii limit Of one per cent placed on the tax rate the whole
tendency Will be to so shape the estimates that the amount
derived from the one per cent will be used.
If no limit is placed on the amount of the tax levy, the lin
ta0n will be controlled by the needs of the Counties and
the whole tendency OF the campaigning in elections and
platform conventions will be to get the best results for the
people While retaining the good will OF the personal and prop
crty tax payers, by reducing the tax rate.
One of the largest taxpayers of the city has expressed the
hope that when the expenses are made up for cleaning Ho-
noiu there viii be no appeal to ''fWe or six large firms to
make up the sum that needed" Everyone hopes The
mechanical unmOVabe per cent tax is of the reasons
why the large firms are called on to make up emergency
funds. taxation to meet necessities and emergencies OF
government blocked by the per cent fetish and some
has to supply additional funds by taxation in another
form.
If the rate of taxation were elastic it would be possible
10 provide funds at the time they needed and secure
them from the proper source. 1t would also be possible to
reduce the rate when the emergencies not pressing upon
the local or Territorial governments
Under The present condition. the average taxpayer turns
his one per cent into the treasury says good bye to and
then GH0teS him time to CsSng the government, but giving
comparatively little attention to what the Government is do
ing
With the tax rate elastic the taxpayer will do what he
should always but so seldom does, keep close watch the
manner in which the money is expended, and demand de-
tailed statements of expenditures in place of the lump sum
reports now given the public.

HAWAII, THE SELF RELIANT.

IT you want thing wei! done, do yourself.
NO one can clean up Honolulu better quicker or more
thoroughly than our own people and own officials once
The people become aroused and the officials are given the
proper authority We have officials here whose efficiency
and capabilities cannot be improved upon by men selected
from or by any other government in the American Union
What's needed is the power and the money and the solid
community support, to get in and do the work.
The appropriation bill providing twenty thousand dollars
for present emergencies bill drawn along right lines
The fifty thousand dollar appropriation bill that also puts
life and authority into the mandates of the Board Of Health
is another proper measure.
The proposed sanitary commission is another move in the
right direction provided the commission through or with the
Board OF Health given something more than the rdht to
speak in nice Iadylke manner in asking delinquent and in
different property holders to please clean lIp''
This commission cooperating with the Board should point
out the SWampS the mosquito breeding patches and duck
ponds that are menace to the growing ad expanding city
Of Honolulu and having directed attention to the places
should be empowered to Wipe them out and reclaim the
lands, # the property owners will not do SO.
Honolulu should have an end of the property owners who
make twenty cents week out of fteen-cen property at
the risk of public health.
The Legislature of Hawaii, our own government can
bring about the needed CHANCES and this should be done
without making weak and Childish appeal to the Federal
government that could not and would not pay any of our
local bills without the sanction of Congress- Experience has
taught that once bills dealing with the government of the
Territory OF Hawaii get into Congress- there is no telling
what viii happen in the way of sweeping changes quite for
egn to the thought Of those who started the original Organic
Act tinkerng.

HONOLULU IS
Soaring EN- OUT

Editor Evening Bulletin
ANENT CHOLERA DR.. Ramus seems
to have il in for Honolulu by quar-
antining ships from the Orient like
the Mongolia Friday and allowing
no one ashore. The passengers bound
through to the coast on these steam
ers must think that scores are dying
hourly of cholera here and the story
which will appear in the coast jour
nails upon the arrival of the Mongolia
in San Francisco will give Honolulu
blow from which it will take years
to recover.
These passengers have probably
lived in the midst of smallpox, plague
or cholera in the Orient, and know
what quarantine precautions are taxi
en- there From the hue and cry
raised here they will believe that the
city of Honolulu is being decimated
by the disease.
The word comes from the Marine
Hospital service here that cholera
was introduced through the Filipinos.
Have there been any Filipinos who
have had the disease here?
The denial of DR.. Fox, acting di-
rector of the bureau of health in Ma
Mia, by cable Saturday of such a
possibility should in itself set at rest
any story to this effect, even if it does
come from local members of the Mar
inc Hospital service.
DR.. Fox is also a member of the
Marine Hospital service and for sew
eral years was port physician at Cebu,
Il city much larger than Honolulu and
whose population is made up almost
entirely of Filipinos and Chinese. He
is now acting as chief of the insular
health department in Manila, during
the absence of DR. Victor c. Heiser,
also of the Marine Hospital service,
who has been director of health at
fairs for nine years in Manila.
DR.. Fox has had years of expert
ence in cholera and should know
whereof he speaks when he makes
the denial he does
With the exception of 1908 there
has been no outbreak of cholera in
Manila since 1902. In 1908. just be-
fore the arrival of the battleship
fleet, cholera broke out and the
deaths went rs high as IS daily There
was no excitement among the white
population, half as much as there is
in Honolulu today, and the city was
effectively cleaned within six weeks:
but three white persons had the dis
ease and only one Of those succumbed
Today there are over q hundred
persons leaving Honolulu for the
coast by the Mongolia, and nearly all
because they have been so scared that
they dare not stay.
TO cite just one instance, A num-
Der Of ladies were having tea at the
Moana the other afternoon and they
would not drink it until ii was made
in their presence The water had to
be boiled before their very eyes. That
is what the present agitation has done,
and the stories these scared tourists
will tell when they reach home will
deter any of their friends from COM
ing here.
If the Mongolia had not touched
ports where there is more infectious
disease to the square inch than there
is TO the square mile in Honolulu,
there might be a reason for quaran-
timing first class passengers and al
lowing no one from shore on board
the vessel. But after such a vessel
has stopped ut Hongkong, Shanghai
and the Japanese ports such acts by
the port doctor in Honolulu are alb
surd
