MAUI HAS A KICK.

Maui News: The superintendent
of Education has again given Maui
a slap in the face. He pays no at
tention to the recommendations from
those who know what is needed on
this island. He don't bother to find
out for himself. For instance a new
school is badly needed over at Hama

modate 1875 pupils, and there are now
263 in regular attendance. There
will be more next year, but what is
Superintendent Pope going to do with
them? The following resolution by
the Chamber of Commerce Board of
, Trustees is timely and to the point;
Whereas, the Board of Trustees of

} been given to understand that, in the
report of the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction, soon to be presented
to the Territorial Legislature, provis-
ion has not been made for proper
and necessary educational appro,
priations for the eegRty Of Maui
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved that this
4 Board earnestly requests the Maui
Senators and Representatives In the
Legislature to take such steps as will
result in securing to this County such
educational appropriations as will
meet the needs and requirements Of

equipments; and that action be taker

Jorgen Jorgensen, the well known
ditch engineer, returned to Hawaii
yesterday morning. He has been abb
sent from the islands for five months
and, during that time, visited the con-
tinent of Europe and the United States.
Mr.. Jorgenson had not been home to
see his people, who reside in Copen-
hagen, for. over twenty years. He
found many changes in the beautiful
capitol city, and hardly knew the
place The cold was so intense that
the man from Hawaii could not make
himself comfortable and, after four
days in Copenhagen, the traveller made
his way to warmer parts of Europe
Altogether, the well-known engineer
remained six weeks in Europe. He
met Jimmy Laird, one-time bookkeep-
er for the ditch company, in Bremen.
Laird proceeded to Scotland, and Jor-
gensen went to New York and after
wards crossed the States to San Fran
cisco and thence home.

Inter-IsIand Breviitiies

Isider6a, when the extremely difficult
physical conditions which exist in
many places are taken into account,
when the small receipts from taxes are
compared with this same natural sit
uation, Hawaii has done well, and still
we must acknowledge chat our roads
are in a shocking condition.
1t should be remembered that d.
vision according to the tax receipts
would be manifestty unfair. Oahu re-
ceives, under the present SYSTEM thou
sands of dollars in taxes which should
come to Hawaii, Maui and Kauai. The
branches of the Honolulu houses on
the outside islands do not pay their in
come taxes here but on Oahu, where
their head Office is, and the City and
County of Honolulu receives the bene-
fit of these funds, to which 1t is in no
way entitled. Then after 4 has re.
ceived more than its share in usual
taxes, it expects to receive half of the
entire four hundred thousand dollars,
to improve roads which are already in
passable condition and to build a road
which would only be used by few of
the Weather class. 1t is time that the
outside islands stood together and OBJ
tanned their fair share of the Territor-
ial funds.

of Public Works the need of half a

HAWAII AND APPROPRIATIONS.
Hawaii Herald: 1t is up to the mem
bers of the delegation from this island
to see that Hawaii obtains fair share
of the 100000 pledged for belt roads
by the Republican platform. The idea
of giving 100000 to Oahu is preposter-
Gus. Already the politicians of that
island are trying to figure, not how to
spend the money, but how it CAN be
spent and to do this have nearly de-
cided that they must build road
around Makapuu Point, in order to get
rid of this great amount. To allow the
money to- be spent in such a manner
would be almost criminal. The road
in question would never be of use,
save for joy rides and such excursions,
and this Territory has no money to
spend for such purposes while the
roads in other counties are in their
present condition. This island is, of
course, in the greatest need of funds
for road work, for several reasons. The
common cry is that the funds of this
county have been misused. There may
have been and there doubtless has
been extravaganza, but If every cent
of money available for such a purpose
had been used to the best possible ad-
vantage, Hawaii would still have many
miles of bad roads. When the great
length of a belt road on Hawaii is con-

HONOLULU OFFICIAL URGES THAT
SHIP SUBSIDY LAW Be DRAFTED
TO PREVENT ALIENS BENEFITING

The following is from letter writ
ten by a local Federal official to a
member of Congress, in answer to
questions regarding subsidies to steam
ers and other matters connected with
the United States shipping laws:
"In my opinion Congress clearly in
tended that no person other than a
bona fide citizen of the United States
should hold an interest in a vessel doc
umented as a vessel Of the United
States In the case of corporations,
however, the president or some officer
of the corporation takes the oath that
the vessel is owned by corporation
existing under the laws of some State
or Territory, but nothing is stated rel
alive to the ownership of stock in this
corporation. l believe an investiga'
ton of this subject would show that a
large portion of the stock of corpora
lions owning American vessels is now
owned by aliens. If this be true 1t will
be seen that the corporation has a
greater power than the private citizen
owning the stock or a copartnership
but l do not believe it is the practice
of foreign nations where subsidies are
paid. | must admit that do not know
of any law preventing an alien from

to aliens, l would most heartily recon-
mend that subsidy be paid for Amer
ican-built vessels and for foreign-built
vessels owned solely by citizens or by
corporations whose stock is owned
solely by citizens of the United States.
Provided, however, that foreign-built
vessels in order to be documented as
vessels of the United States and enti
tied to such subsidy as may be paid to
American vessels shall be equal to the
best class of foreign vessels operating
at the time the contract is executed,
Provided further, that the privilege of
documenting foreign-built vessels be
limited to period of five years after
the passage of the Act. That is, that
any vessel contracted for during the
five years may be documented when
delivered, if delivered within a reason
able time,-say two years from date Of
contract.
"a proviso, however, should be at
tached to the amendment relative tc
subsidy so that no subsidy shall be
lpaid TO any vessel under the United
States laws that is not actually en-
gagged in trade and carrying either
cargo, passengers, or mail. (This Il
to prevent vessels from receiving the
benefit of the subsidy without being
engaged in trade. For example, like
some vessels that come here from Aus
tralia for orders and return to Austria
liza for a cargo of coal. These vessel
) receive a subsidy of so much mile
r whether they are engaged in trade 0
not.)
IN view Of the fact that the Unite
States is the greatest producing powe
