Accidentally Shot.

The l3-year-old daughter of L. K:
Nelson, who lives near Foreston, was
accidentally shot through the shoulder
with 3S-caliber revolver on Novem-

Goad home on an erraud and one of
the Goad boys, about the same age as
herself, picked up loaded revolver
which her brother, who had been
hunting, had laid on the table, and,
pointing it at the girl, exclaimed,
"IIl shoot you" No sooner had he
said it than the revolver was dis
charged and the girl was shot. She
was taken to Milaca, where the wound
was dressed.

the balance of the allotment the
county will be required to furnish an
equal amount.
In case any county board fails to
make a statement showing how it pro-
poses to use the state aid fund, it will
be presumed that such county does
not require any assistance, and this
will have material bearing on the
allotments.
The attention of the county boards
is called to one very important point:
Heretofore many reports have been
sent in covering small jobs for re-
pairs or Improvement, varying in
amount from twenty to fifty dollars,
for which state aid is asked. If this
condition existed in only one or two
counties it would not be a serious
matter, but, the inspection or SUPER
vision of great number of such jobs
in fifty or more counties puts de-
mand on the engineering department
that cannot be we'll provided for. It
is therefore suggested that such work
be done with the county road and
bridge fund, and superintendent by
their own overseers, leaving the state
aid fund, with the necessary equal
amount of county money, to be ap-
piled in amounts of $500 or more.
Such a plan would result in better
work, closer supervision and more
complete satisfaction to the county
boards and the people.
County auditors are requested to
arrange with the members of the
county boards for early action in this
matter.

A Concurrent Resolution Relating to
Payment from State Highway
Commission Fund to Certain
Counties. by r. G. DUNN
Whereas, at the legislative session
of 1907, under the provisions of
chapter 2l7, general laws of 1907, two
hundred thousand dollars 100000
was appropriated out of the general
revenue fund of the state for each of
the years 1908 and 1909 to aid in the
construction and improvement of
roads and bridges throughout the
state, and by the provisions of
chapter 405, general laws of 1907, the
same was apportioned among the
several counties of the state; and
Whereas, many of the counties of
the state failed to receive the amount
apportioned to them under the pro-
visions of chapter 405, general laws of
1907, the supreme court of our state
having held that money cannot be ap-
propriated out of the general revenue
fund of the state to aid in the con-
struction or improvement of roads

These sacred bundles are just as

What A TARIFF BOARD MEANS.

In all the years the tariff prob
lem has been before the country, a
vital issue in political campaings and
an excuse for congressional logroll-
ing and jugglery, the methods of
framing the law have been un-
changed.
1t is being recognized, however,
that the basic methods of tariff law
making are radically wrong, wholly
inadequate for existing conditions and
working an injustice to the people.
So, inevitably, revision must come.
Common sense and intelligence
must be applied to the solution of
the tariff problem, and this is be-
ing urged by means of a permanent
board of experts.
One of the leading objects of this
proposed tariff board will be to pro-
vide scientific means of slow re-
vision.
Nothing would so upset Industrial
and general conditions as to have
tariff tinkering continued indefinitely
into the future.
This always Imminent prospect has
been a course of much annoyance!
II is therefore advocated by the
National Tariff Commission Associa-
ton, which is working for the tariff
board, that the tribunal shall consist
of ten experts, to be appointed by
President Taft for period Of years,
their duties including the ascertain
ment of technical, industrial and sta
tistical facts relating to the intricate
problems involved.
| This is sensible. .
1t will put an end to threats of
radical tariff revision with every
political campaign.
1t will substitute scientific meth
cd for a logrolling scheme.
It is in the interest of the whole
people, and it will enhance the value
of the tariff, rs protective agency

PASS THE LAND. Education
RESOLVE.

Tho gentlemen who have now en-
gagged in such bitter lobby against
the so-callcd Fairchild resolution to
conserve the public lands and water
rights for the education of IIawaiis
children, have not yet given a COM
pctcnt answer to the situation pre-
scented by Hawaii being the only Ter
ritOry under the Flag without public
lands dedicated forever to education.
There has never been II measure
put before the Legislature of this
Territory that was more thoroughly
in line with traditional American"
principles than the Fairchild resolu-
ton.
1t HAS been called monstrous.
Very likely there were interests
that cried out "Monstrous" when the
United States Government as far back
as 1885 set aside public lands in ev-
cry State for education, and again in
1862 when the Morrill, act set aside
millions of acres of land for tho en-
dowmcnt of colleges in every State
and Territory.
1t will be indeed monstrOus and
vicious deed II the representatives of
the people Of Hawaii fail, when the
matter is called to their attention, to
do what they can towards setting
aside a part of the public lands and
the best public lands, as heritage
to the children Of the schools and
also to serve the sick in the support
Of health measures.
Pass the Resolution. If anyone in
the Congress of the United States
raises his hand against the spirit and
purpose of the act, not how quickly
he will be voted down by his ASSOC
ciatcs.
one Of the first to support the bill
will undoubtedly be the man who pre-
scented the first resolution of anneXa-
tion-Scnator Ncwlands.
And as for the specious plea of de-
lay, that the. matter should be sub
mltted TO the electorate, Just contem-
plate for moment how long can
dldate or party would last before
the electorate in Hawaii with Il record
of having refused to follow the plain
American principle In dealing with
the education Of the children and the
better guarantee Of funds for the sup
port OF the sick.
