the Mayor results in delaying blsi-
ness. This was brought especially to
their attention the early part of the
year in connection with the appropri
alton bill. 1t is therefore proposed to
amend the bill so that an ordinance
shall go into effect after being three
times published. The period of pub
licity following the introduction of a
resolve or ordinance is limited by a
lthree-times publication.
The merit of the question turns not
on the alleged wise assertion of the
gentleman from the Fifth of whether
.the Bulletin is for it or against
it, but on the best adaptation to the
conditions in this city and county of
what has proved a wise municipal pol
icy in mainland cities.
The scheme of the present law we
believe follows the San Francisco
charter.
The city of Oakland goes further 1t
not only publishes the ordinances but
also publishes the official minutes of
each meeting of the city Supervisors,
SO that the public may know the ex-
act details and order of business. The

I Knudsen of the Senate nor Speaker
Holstein of the House was aboard the
Mauna Kea. A number of House en-.
ployes-committee clerks, messengers
and others-helped to swell the ranks,
all of them being used in some way or
other.
That the Legislature shall continue
to enforce the anti-liquor regulation at
the settlement was decided upon with
out dissent. There has been no inten-
ton to raise the ban on liquor, and, in
deed the petition asking that liquor
be allowed on Molokai was repudiated
by many residents of the settlement
yesterday.
Superintendent McVeigh says that
the following items should be cared
for, in addition to the appropriation
estimated as sufficient in the Govern
ors message:
$240 per month, maintenance for new
hospital.
$240 per month maintenance for nur-
sery
$500 additional for ice plant, $500,
having been estimated in the appropri-
alton and found too small.
5000 for a new children's home.
$4,000 for new home for advanced
cases.
The appropriation for the expiring
period was $1SS,S20 and Governor
Frear in his message to the present
Legislature recommends that 1872, 900
be apportioned for the coming two
years. Superintendent McVeigh says
this is not enough.
The Mauna Kea, carrying the legis-
ators and few others. left Honolulu

secondly adding thereto a sufficient
sum from the revenues derived from
the real and personal property tax.
This necessary additional sum for the

Continuing Appropriation.
This combination constitutes what
is termed a continuing appropriation
and this scheme. if adopted, eliminates
the details of the public school salary
list from political log-rolling at each
legislative session. The salaries are
provided for automatically until such
time as the Legislature desires to

Check on Extravaqance.
The checks on extravaganza are
found in the provisions (Sec. u that
the number of teachers and supervi-
sors shall not be more than are re-
quired by allowing one teacher or SUI
pervisor for each twenty-five pupils
and further that the appropriation
shall not be greater than $4,000 for
each month and it may not be in
creased at a rate higher than $50 a
month for each teacher added DURING
the year. Under this plan the teach
ers are not only removed from DoIi-
tical pickering but the Department of
Public instruction is enabled to add
new teachers at any time as reouir-
ed by the increasing attendance of
school children The lack and result
of such elasticity in the present sys-
TEN Is demonstrated by the fact that
there are now 100 children in this
Territory not provided for in the pub
lie schools, because funds are not
available.

Under this bill the Department of
Public Instruction each year makes up

for teachers salaries. This budget is
divided into General Fund and a

superintendent, salaries of office

PUBLICITY FOR CITY ORDINANCES

After considerable scratching
of matches had been stilled,
Chairman Castle rose in the maj
esty of his variegated shirt
sleeves and announced:
In view of the editorial in the
bulletin yesterday against
this measure, move the adoption
! of section one, Advertiser News
| Item.
| There is more than fair chance
that this quotation credited to Rep
reSentative Castle is misrepresenta-
ton. But assuming that Mr.. Castle
made an assertion of this general ten
or, it is to be hoped that when the
gentleman whom the Fifth District
honored has had more experience in
public life he will refrain from max
ing such cracks regarding a usges-
ton from any source, even though it
be from one so unworthy in his esti-
nation as the Bulletin.
What OF the real merits of the mat
ter that called forth this comment?
The section to be amended has 10 do
with the publicity given the ordi-
nances acted upon by the Supervisors
of the City and County of Honolulu
In the first place the amendment
has not been the subject of any hear
ing by the committee and was appar-
emily sneaked into the bill.
Under the present law, an ordi-
nance, after its formal introduction,
is published five times in newspaper
Of general circulation When the or
dinance is passed and signed by the
Mayor, it has then to be published
ten times before becoming a law. This
provision of the charter was copied
from city charters of the mainland
The purpose Of this publication is to
give full publicity, first, to the pro
posed ordinances in order that the
people may know what new law is
contemplated; finally to give the vic
est publicity to the ordinance after it
has been passed, that the people may
know the law.
In adopting the plan mapped ont for
another city, what has Honolulu
found?
Supervisors elected last year on
the Republican ticket take the posi-
ton that the publication ten times af-
ter an ordinance has been signed by

This Committee reviews The budget
The object or creating the committee

The Counties In touch and cooperation
with the central administration The
scheme is an adaptation of the law
Of New York ana other states The
budget with the recommendations
and changes in the Special Fund made
by the Committee of Estimates then

NIT it to the Legislature.
Schools Before Jails.
If the number of children in the
schools decreases the sum needed I'M
der this bin will be less than the
amount noted in the budget attached.
If they increase more will be reduir-
ed. And whether they increase or de-
crease the continuing appropriation
meets the situation automatically. 1t
obviates the probability of the chill
dren having to wait their turn TO get
into school on account of money be-
ing needed in another department of
the government to build a Jail.
Why This Plan.
The point has been made that the
Public School Fund Commission was
appointed to devise means for rails
ing funds. Reference to the report
of the commission will show that its
members at the first meeting found
themselves unanimous for a specific
tax for public schools. That is the
basis on which the Commission start
ed ont During its twelve or fourteen
months of active labor the Commits
sion held more than fifty-two formal
meetings. Conferences were held with
officials and individual citizens. Eff
fort was made to obtain every shade
of opinion. and canvass the situation
thoroughly.
Compromise Plan.
By further reference to the report
of the Commission you will find that
1t says the plan proposed is not the
scheme exactly suiting the opinions
of the Commission members or of any
one man. 1t is compromise and
that after all is the net result of ev-
cry advance step in government. 1t
is not however in any particular a
compromise with the Devil. It is bas-
ed on the assumption that the people
of Hawaii were thoroughly honest
when they voted to support the de-
claratiOn that the Education of the
youth has first claim on the revenues
of the Territory. It enables the
citizens and the taxpayers of Hawaii
to make good" under the American
truism that the public school is the
safeguard of our liberties the children
should therefore come first.
It Is Practical.
No one has yet said of the plan set
forth in this bill at is impractical. it
will not work" 1t will work. It is
practical 1t safe guards the children
of Hawaii. There are doubtless bet
ter systems and some perhaps worse.
But as chairman of the School Fund
Commission ! can assure you that no
other system presented to this Legis-
lature has been the product of more
unselfish and painstaking effogt or a
more sincere struggle to obtain ex-
preston of public sentiment and adj
Just the wide difference of individual
opinion necessarily existing among
Hawaii's cosmopolitan population of
citizens, taxpayers and residents.

tional work. Mr.. w. A. Bowen is a.

PROHIBITION
DEAD ISSUE

/ That prohibition for Hawaii is
dead issue in Congress and that at
tempts to revive 1T at the last session
were failures is the statement made
by Delegate Kalanianaole today. The
Delegate, who returned from the ma
tiona capital last week, declares that
Congress accepts the result of the
plebiscite as conclusive, and that Wool
ley's arguments will not be taken in
preference to the voice of the people.
Prohibition MAKE"
"The prohibition question in Wash
ington is dead" said the Delegate. II
have discussed this matter with num-
Der of Congressman who expressed
themselves satisfied with The results of
the plebiscite, should prohibition ever
be brought up by Woolley or his as
sociates in Washington again. They
feel that the people of the Territory
have decided the question wisely at the
polls, and that their decision should
be upheld by the people of the main
land, They stated that the voice of
the people here was much stronger
than that of the Woolleyites."
The Delegate said that the Ameri-
can people have learned the wish of
he.people here, so far as the plebiscite
is concerned and that they do not
care to interfere with matters which
are strictly local.
The Delegate stated most emphati-
cally that he is in favor of the Ma
huka site for the Federal building.

True religion is confined to no one

helpful book. entitled "The Coming
Religion" which is taking the Chris
tian world by storm, the author says:
"A recent periodical told the story
of a brave and honorable Chinese Of

religion was based on Confucianism,
but he had read modern books and alb
sorbed the best spirit of the universal
religion.
The mans life was lived as If in

known as "the fruits of the spirit
seemed to correspond. There was
faith, hope, patriotism, humanity, fear
lessness. What else does man de-
sire for the fulfillment of his nature?
