A PATERNAL LAND POLICY

80 4. { n
Wisconsin, the state whose splendid progress
sivisni is not measured in terms of personal am
bitions as isshat of the self-appointed Progress.
i've leader, has under way great land-coloniza-
ton policy from which Hawaii may learn much.
Wisconsin, plans to put aside the hiddeman,
the land Spectator, the real estate operator
whose five and ten per cent. commissions are
addedsto the profits of the landowners and these
IN turn to the value of the. land. The plan con-
templates nothing more than direct relations be
tween the land seller and the land buyer, and to
establish these direct relations the state of Wis
consin intends to become the land seller.
Under the plan on foot in this commonwealth
now, the state acquires present unproductiye
land as cheaply as possible and in as large lots
as possible. The land is then sold at a fair mar
ket value to colonists and the profits on the
land are turned into communal fund for the
benefit of the eolonists
This is carrying cooperation TO some length,
and is an immediate application of the dictum
that the state is paterhaliy interested in its peo
Me and its lands. Those colonists who cannot
afford wagons and farm implements dire to be
provided with them, and the beauty of the whole
scheme is that the state makes no appropriations
pxeept the moderate sum needed to acquire the.
land in the first instance. All of the other ex-
,tnses will be met from the money realized by
sale Of the land. 4
Advanced economic ideas are put to the test
this plan, but Gov. McGoverif thinks enough

Paving Controversy

! That the clerk be instructed In
behalf of the board OF city and county
supervisors to ascertain from the Gov.
ernor Of the Territory Of Hawaii
whether he viii give his consent to
the Institution by the superintendent
OF Public Works of an action to have
the franchise of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit & Land Co. forfeited because
Of failure on It's part to carry out It's
charter obligations as regards street
paving. =
With the passage OF this motion last
night by the Board of Supervisors,
the board puts the paving controversy
up to the Territorial authorities.
The board maintains that the SUI
perintendent OF Public Works should
take action and is asking the Gov
ernor to help 1t along.
Supervisor Arnold pointed out that
the board had already taken similar
action once before, and Supervisor
Dwight openly counseled yielding to
the Rapid Transit company, but SUI
pervisor Murray. who offered the mo-
ton, declared that the board has no
right to yield, and that under the law
the board has no right to yield. Il
don't propose to be criticized by. the
general public" said Murray, and out;
lined his position vigorously.
Dwight said: in the county at.
torney's communication, he went as
far as to advise us to let the, Rapid
Transit company pave with the ma
terial II wishes to use, but Deputy
Attorney Milverton jumped up and
declared that he had not advised this,
and that his opinion had evidently
been misunderstood both by the
newspapers and others. S. s.

Superintendent of Public Works i'm

The new parcels post law becomes
effective January T. Locally there Is
much interest in the parcels post en-
teiprise. Some say that the express
companies win now be forced 70 cut
rates in order to compete with the
new postal inducements.
4 local man said yesterday that be-
had sold his family horse, but had to
deliver him, which would occasion
quite a little expenditure. A friend
suggested that he wait until January
j, and send him BY parcels post. i
seems that Postmaster General Hitch
cock anticipated something Of this
kind as he emphatically states that
while the farmer may send eggs,
chickens, ducks, kittens, bees, puppies,
possums, foxes, etc, he Will discrin-
mate against the transportation Of
young shoats with a tag tied to the
forelegs and, in fact all kinds Of ant.
mails that are dangerous or uncleanly.
They must we win boxed The mail
cars win not be made travelling me-
nageries for the accommodation Of
TIE feathered, furred or other tribes,
whether Wild or tame.
The postal authorities ask the public
to remember this fact-only fourth
class mail matter can be shipped in
parcels post. The law remains as
formerly as to first, second and third
class mail Books and printed matter
cannot be accepted at parcels post
rates.
Smooth working Of the new service
from the outset is not guaranteed
Congress provided the postmaster gen
era with only s75O,OOO with which to
iEsugurate the enormous system Of
deliveries covering a million miles Of
rural deliveries and star routes,
The merchant and manufacturer
presumably will be allowed to ship any
article not over large or bulky and not
dangerous. But it is within the discre-
ton Of the postmaster general, for in
stance, to prescribe how articles shall
BE- packed, how presented for ship
ments, and so on.
The weight limit Of packages under
the parcels post system will be eleven
pounds

bacp from New York city. where the
annual convention OF the National In
surance Commissioners association
was held. The convention considered
various insurance bills which were
drafted by committees Of the associa-

ance laws as nearly uniform as posi-
BILE.
Among the bills drafted was what is
kntwn in Kansas as the blue sky law,
which Insurance Commissioner Bal
laid will ask the Oklahoma legislature
to adopt Mr. Ballard says that the
only defect OF the Kansas statute is
that it does not apply to insurance
companies in its general scope, but it
will be changed in this respect when
introduced in the Oklahoma legisla-
ture.

is excellent in every respect-yet it
is failure. The people simply will

you account for it?"

if you think talent. worthiness, and
