the sugar business of Hawaii brings
assurance that there will be no tariff
move at this session Of Congress.

Building Operations.

There is considerable activity in
building operations throughout the
city and suburbs. Home building in
the Kaimuki district is keeping up the
ace and the city is growing az an
astonishing rate. The new Brewer
Estate building at the corner of Union
and Hotel streets Is fast assuming
shape, and II Is stated that the con.
tractors fully expect to have finished
up by the end Of June, and the Palm
Cafe is making preparations to move
into the new quarters on that date.
Word has been received from the
Coast that the price of lumber may
take a jump at any time. The reason
Tor this Is given that the mills have
such big orders on hand from the many
railways throughout the States for
lumber for the construction Of cars
that small outside orders may have to
wait and in such case the price may
soar.

New Orleans voted almost without opposition for the adop
ton of the commission form of government This is the larg
est city that has yet adopted that plan 1t adopted
cordngy by about ten to in it's favor From this it is
inferred that the vote is in the nature of popular revolt
against the abuses that have been inflicted that city by bad
men in it's old government
This form of government and it's fundamental qualities
in concentrating executive and legislative powers in the
hands of board of limited membership and in removing the
checks hasy mprovdent wrong action which often de-
lay progress public work The result is to facilitate the
power of good officials to do good work. and also make it
easier for bad officials to do bad work
The exact result in New Orleans be foretod but
the factor which will determine it be clearly IF
the people Of New Orleans elect but honest and able
to the commission they will have good this plan
they would under any other FORM If they elect unscrupu
ous and dishonest they will have bad government they
would under other form Probably the people of New
Orleans seem to have undergone awakening they will have
good government at the start But what it will be during
of years be determined only by history
The chief objection to the commission form of
is its apparent assumption that good bad de-
ponds the FORM It does The sole factor the
character of the results the kind of the people elect to
the government And this truism applies with equal
force to Alaska In and first Legislature much will
depend upon the who selected carry the will
