THE LESSON OF GRAFT

The beginning Of graft is inefficiency.
The beginning of corruption in government is
Incompetence, looseness and secrecy.
Disclosures made last Saturday afternoon in
the report on Hawaii ceuntys financial affairs
by Expert II. Gooding Field furnish perfect
and a distressing example Of tlfis r
1t is a bitter lesson to the taxpayers and
voters of the county of Hawaii, and a timely les
son for the whole territory. 1t should rouse the
taxpayers before they have again elected incom.
petents to Office and locked the doors after the
horse is stolen. -.
The opinion generally has been that III. Good
ing Field would find nothing but evidences of
incompetence in the administration OF the coun-
ty of Hawaii Tie average businessman had al
most the same sneer for a thorough audit of the
county's business as was uttered by the Ha-
Z wall county board of supervisors.
.EEeryone admitted that the administration
OF Hawaii county was and is sadly inefficient
Too many considered it hopelessly so, and gave
that as an excuse for doing nothing, not having
enough time for public affairs, or figuring
that ineiiiciehcy is one Of the penalties citizen
The inevitable product of inefficiency in pub
lie Office has come to an early f1uition in the
county of Hawaii. When it is easy to let things
slide, it is easy to divert money from its proper
uses; it is easy for an official to go wrong; it is
easy to place terrific burden of expense on, fu-
ture generations through the waste of money
now available. F5*@ 4 ~. -.
What our people need in their government,
and especially in their local governments, which
are the direct product of popular control, are
efficiency, common, ordinary, straightforward
honesty, and strict accounting for every dollar
that is spent. Il
This We must have if the people are to con-
tinue TO rule. ..@= IN. t. -*~
:, This We can have If every honest citizen will
do his share, and bear his portion of the burden
in government III
What are the taxpayers and the voters OF Ha-
vail going to do about it?
1t is out of the hands Of the officials now, for
they will soon be out of office.
1t is i'm the hands of the taxpayers. They can
settle the question of ineffciency and probable
graft this fall. Are the taxpayers going to SIT
in their Offices in their contingencies, in their
homes. while this reeking tide of ineftclency,
laziness. dishonesty and neglect flows on?
- Are you who talk of good government going
to do something more than talk? Are you going
to rise to the occasion as intelligent men and
make your vote count, in the precinct club and
in the election, for the clean progress of Hawaii?
The lesson of the county of Hawaii will be
the lesson of other counties unless the voters de-
clare without Sinking and without fear for men
=, oesca who are able and incOrruDtible
1t is for you to say.

1t is proposed that this provision of

mittee on printing yesterday afternoon at

promise, except-and every one in the

Except that the word notes should

certificates, Attorney Ralston said. The
exception did not prove a stumbling block
to an adjustment, for it was decided that
the words paper money used in the
compromise were broad enough to include
silver and gold certificates.
