An insect survey is to be made OF
the city of Honolulu and its environs,
This was decided upon at the meeting
of the Civic saVitation Committee at
it's noon meeting today. David r. Full
away of the Bureau of Entomology
was made a member of the committee
and will have charge of making this
survey.
Mr.. Fullaway stated at the meeting
that one of the first things to be de
termined was the location of all breed
ing places of the stegomyia. An in
vestigation will also be made to de
termine at what altitude the steg0
myia calopus ceases to exist, as vel
as thorough examination to deter
mine what plants hold water for 6
sufficient length of time to afford
breeding places
Dr. Currie stated that there are ,
great many plants and trees that af
ford breeding places other than the
banana, and that the campaign was
first directed against the banana be
cause it was known to breed mosqui
toes, and because there are so manl
of them, and because they are easils
recognized by anyone. 1t was stated
that the ornamental taro plant, tn,
travellers palm, the papaia; and othel
plants have been found to breed mos
quitoes. To just what extent they de
so will be one of the objects of tn,
survey to ascertain.
AS rapidly as results are obtaine,
they will be given full publicity b!
the educational committee for the in
formation of the public.

Health Wagon
Badly Stalled

The Board of Health auto patrol
wagon was stalled for a couple Of
hours late yesterday afternoon on
Pahoa avenue near Fifth avenue, Kai-

The wagon was returning from FUN

consumption had occurred when it got
into a hole filled with water from a
Government water-pipe bursted by the
Hawaiian Electric Company while
blasting a rock which prevented the
introduction of an electric light pole.
The dwellers roundabout were in

All FIy,Infested Fruit
Should Be Promptly Burned

w. NJ. Giflard, who has control ri
the fight against the fruit-hy, said this
morning that while many people were
cooperating with his department,
there were others who did not come in
on the work. The men who are work.
ing under Mr.. Giffard are inspecting
a large district at present and, from
Moiiili to Kam6hameha road, the
fruit trees have been looked to.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-11-11

The ground around the fruit trees
is being kept fairly clear of fallen
fruit" said Mr. Giffard today, "and if
the fruit growers would only get rid
of the present crop as soon as posi-
bic, the task would be easier later on.
Evidences of the fruit-hy can be found
in most places, and it should be the
duty of all people getting rid of dis
eased fruit to see that it is not thrown
into pits to rot The fruit should be
destroyed by fire and in that way be-
come harmless.
Vacant lots of land on which fruit
trees are growing cause us much trou-
bic. We have to waste lot of time
looking up the owners The hearty
cooperation of the people is wanted
in the matter of the fight against the
fruit-hy. The matter is of vital i'm
portanceI to the fruit shippers of the
Territory, and everybody should take
an interest in it,"
Nothing new has been heard from
the mainland, with regard to the fruit
fly quarantine, and It is not at pres
ent known if the State of California
viii help out in a financial way, in
the campaign against the pest here,
or not. Mr.. Giffard said this morning
that he had not heard anything more
about his going to the mainland to
confer with the California authorities
on the fruit-ny campaign.

1t was also voted to take action
looking toward to having roads in the

Indianapolis Star calls attention to the
opposition that was leveled at Mr..
Owens bill and the arguments that
were advanced against it
One delegate 10 the convention de-
clared that property cares would OF
necessity withdraw women's attention
from that sacred duty. which nature
has, in its wisdom, assigned TO their
peculiar care then he added the
sacred ordinance Of marriage and the
relations growing out of it should not
be disturbed"
Other objections were that such a
law would do most essential injury
to the most endearing relations OF
married life Controversies would
arise. husbands and wives would be-
come armed against each other TO
the utter destruction Of true felicity
in married life"
Another solon declared that TO give
women control OF their own property

ton morally and politically into con-
fusion"

clared. Sir, we have got along now

called by president Lincoln in the
summer of 1861, imposed an income
tax and a direct tax of $40, 200. 900,
apportioned among the states. In De-
cember of the same year the duties
on tea. sugar and coffee were raised,
in 1862 the tariff duties were again
increased and in 1864 the war tariff
reached its maximum and the free list
was almost entirely abolished. All Of
these bills were framed and handled
by Mr.. Morrill,. although Thadeus Ste
vens was chairman of the ways and
means committee and Mr.. MorriH was
only member Of that body.
After the war was over, in 1867,
Morrill, was promoted to the position
of chairman Of the ways and means
committee. He at once proposed a
repeal of many of the burdensome in
ternal revenue taxes that had been
made necessary by the war. and with
this proposition he coupled a bill to
increase the tariff for protective pur-
poses. Although he always had pro-
fessed himself to be a believer in pro-
lection. it was not until 1857 that Mr.
Morrill, made any serious attempt to
commit congress to his theory OF the
tariff. The general tariff bill of 1857
was lost in a dispute between the two
houses, but one schedule was revised
and one bill was put through.
Wool Growers Treaty.
That one revised schedule had to do
with the duties on wool and woolens-
In the 10 years intervening between
1857 and 1867 the wool growers and
the wool manufa cturers had decided
that it was folly for them to cut each
others threats. Acting upon this de-
cision the two interests arranged a
treaty by which both were pledged to
secure from congress, if possible, the
adoption Of the principle that raw
wool should be protected. and that
the wooden manufacturers should have
both compensatory and a protective
duty upon wooden cloths This agree
ment has continued until this time
and the alliance was so strong in 1909
that president Taft publicly declared
that although the wool and wooden
schedule of the Payne Aldrich bill was
indefensible;' that the combination of
western wool growers and eastern
wool manufa cturers was so strong
that IL would have defeated any tariff
legislation had the wool schedule been
revised.
The first formal announcement Of
this alliance was made by Mr.. Morrill,
in the house in 1867 Under tremen-
dous pressure brought to bear bv the
wool growers Of Ohio and the middle
west. the wool tariff bill went through
the house without a roll call In the
senate 1t was passed by narrow
margin. and was put up to president
johnson for his signature on the
morning OF March 4. 1857. The life

1" HE chief argument of the anti
suffragists against the emanci-
patton of women is that if you
give women the right to vote. you Will
break up the home, do irreparable in
jury to the sacred matrimonial insti-
tuition, foment quarrels between hus
bands and wives and dull all the finer
feelings Of women
Just how the ballot would work.
these catastrophes to perform, the an
tbs prudently leave to the imagination.
not having any facts to go upon. In
the places where women suffrage has
been tried none Of these disasters has
occurred.
Experience shows that the voting
woman marries quite as often. and is
in every way as attractive to men as
her non-voting sisters; also that hus-
bands and wives go amicably TO the
polls together, as they do elsewhere
to church. even when they don't be-
long to the same religious faith, and
that political discussion in the family
circles does not raise half such a rum
pus as does a difference of opinion on
the merit of predestination and infant
baptism if a Presbyterian woman is
married to a deep water Baptist man.
Yet nobody would advocate for mo-
cause a husband and wife were liable
to hold different creeds.
In considering the doleful predic
tions uttered by the ants concerning
the misfortunes that would befall do
nestle life should women be given the
right TO vote il is Illuminating to re-
call that the same class of people have
raised the same wall at every step Of
woman's progress. and yet not a sin
gle one Of the predicted calamities has
befallen society.
The Education Scare.
For instance, it was predicted that
If women were given an education
it would urSex them; that they would
lose all of their sweet, charming wO-
manly modesty: that no man would
care to marry an educated woman, and
that the minute you gave women an
education they would forsake their
home and neglect their husbands and
children in order to devote themselves
to the pursuit of knowledge
Well. today every woman can get
just as good an education as she de-
sires and has the mind to take. yet
women are still doing business at the
old stand. in the same old way. Wom-
en- are still getting married. and hav
ing babies. and keeping house. The
only difference is that. instead of be-
ing ignorant and superstitious. they
are intelligent and cultivated. fit COM
panions for educated men.
Similar gloomy forebodings as to
what would happen to woman and the
family were INDUCED in by the ants
when it was proposed to secure wO-
man some degree of financial inde-
pendence by giving her her own prop
erty. In the good old days. so be-
loved by the ants, when woman
married she became a chattel-as she
still is in LOuiSiana-and all her
property passed at once to her hus-
band.
There were innumerable cruel in
stances in which the husbands cred
itors seized upon the poor little brides
fortune on the way from the altar,
