SWIFT KICK PUT
TO PAVING BILL

The House this morning refused to
stop and consider Senate Bill 1874
which provides for local assessment
districts in the city and county of Io-
nolulu for the purpose of raising funds
for paving; In other words, for charg
ing the expense of paving against abut-
ting property. 1t was a long bin, and
the House was In n hurry, so after
some debate motion to table the bill
was carried.
The bin was fathered by the Board
of Supervisors of Honolulu and drawn

passed the House once, but some local
business men made strenuous objec-
lions and 1t was recOnsidered. The
business men demanded changes, which
were made, and the bill went to the
House this morning providing that
such paving shall be laid only on pc
titiOn of at least so per cent. of the
property-owners affected. Neverthe-
less, the House did not feel like wrest-
ling with any technical bills. and that
is the real reason why 1t was
squClChcd.

The SANITARY COMMISSION.

Governor Frear has named SAM
tary Commission that has all the ap-
pearance of being resuIt-getter.
With an Ex-Governor, an eX-Attor-
noy General and live wire sanitary
specialist, II would seem remarkable
If the cleaning up of Honolulu were
not carried on along broad lines that
will build for the best possible SAM
tary future of the city and the island
The engineer member is rather an
unknown quantity to the public, but
we assume that the Governor has
selected him with the hope that he
epitomizes the combination of energy
and technical knowledge that is
promised in the other members of the
Commission.
We sincerely hope that this COM
mission will bring forth great results
for Honolulu, something more indeed
than batting around for a while, get
ting everybody by the ears, and then
when the dust is cleared, have only
a report to its credit. That has been
the record of former commissions of
this character.

EDUCATION ON

Educational policy In Hawaii was the
subject of lot of discussion In the
House this morning. The House edu-

port on Yates resolution, introduced
weeks ago, which calls for an investi-
Cation of the course of study taught In
the public schools and theoretically
condemns the treatment of some scien-
tinc subjects.
The committees report stands up for
the Department of Public Instruction
and recommends that the resolution be
tabled, declaring that the course OF
instruction is all right. The report
however. Is signed only by Chairman
Long and Williamson, while major
ity of the committee-Affonso, Huddy
and Waiaholo-does not concur. The
majority failed, however. to make q
report.
The House chewed over the report
for long time, some Of the legisla
tors declaring against the course OF
study, others standing up for 1t.
Marcallino attacked the Department
of Public Instruction. THE department
Is trying to cram too many things into
the heads of the children of Hawaii,

they do not dare to come before this

1t is possible for them to so serious

the power of taxation will pass back
again to the Territory, and ccntrali-

The tax bill that finally passed the
House of Representatives is among
the first on the list of progressive
measures that have been passed by
this Legislature.
Governor Frear in his message
named the proper financing of the
public schools as of paramount i'm
portance. The school law was passed
practicai,y as asked. but II would
hardly have been complete without a
liberal taxation law that allows tie
Counties and the Territory to obtain
the money needed.
This taxation measure IL also the
longest and one of the most import
ant steps toward complete indopend-
ent self government that has ever been
enacted by any Legislature. Hawaii
when handling County government
started in wrong end first. There Is
no doubt of It. But in order to get
the program started 1t was impossible
for its advocates to pick and chose
the order Of their lines of advance.
They had to make gain where they
could and keep on fighting with the
firm confidence that eventually the
system would be Strengthened ont 20
line up in all details with the Ameri-
can scheme of government.
County governments now have full
authority to levy taxes in such amount
as the public necessities require. The
County Supervisors have free rein.

If 1t is time for the outsiders to
say anything, this paper would re-
specially suggest that Principal
Richmond be sent back to his school
and told to employ the teachers with
whom he can conduct it in manner
that will leave no doubt of who is the
head of the institution. 1t is most re-
markable indeed IL the Hilo High
School should run along successfully
for so many years, and its horrors be
not discovered until the arrival of a
teacher who, according to the recent
testimony, talked love and marriage
and jealousy while on the steamer
coming to the islands. On the face
of it, Hilo is too small town for that
sort of thing.
