I'VE want better roads and fewer
steam rollers" urged one conserve
tive member OF the Board OF Supervis-
ors this morning when asked as to the
outcome Of a combined effort upon
the part OF three members In that
body to foist a. BufIalo-Pitts machine
upon the city and county of Honolulu
whether or no II is really needed by
the road department.
The city has no need for an addi-
tional ten-ton roller. and ! for one
shall advocate that the money requir-
ed TO purchase the roller handled by
the Lynch Company, Incorporated, be
utilized for purposs far more bene-
fetal to the municipality as a whole"
Murray rcfrained last evening from
verbal participation In the endeavor
10 add another steam roller TO the al
ready large number of these ma
chimes owned by the city and county,
and generously loaned TO the various
contractors, who are entrusted with
the building OF county highways or
performing other constructive work
lii which heavy roller is required.
James Lynch, manager of the In
corpofated company which bears his
name, came up smiling following his
defeat last evening with bid to
supply the city and county with a
road roller, ten tons in weight, for
1926, or just five dollars less than
the figure submitted by the Honolulu
Iron Works, his rival in the steam
roller merchandising business. The
latter company at a recent meeting,
through representation of Mr.. VALID
ron. offered ten-ton machine to the
municipality for $1,000. When Mr..
WaIdron attempted to set forth some
OF the advantages Of the machine in
question he was promptly squelched
though Mr.. Lynch was permitted to
address the board on three separate
occasions
"This steam roller business has oc-
casioned lot of unfayorable talk,
and fear that some Of the same will
follow, should we go ahead and au-
tliorize the purchase of the Lynch

II all the 600 colleges and all the college
endowments In the United States should
be destroyed tomorrow the insect tax Of
one year not only would replace them,
but would leave balance sufficient to
endow thirty-two new universities in the
sum of s10,OO0,O0e each:
1t costs more by many millions each
year to feed our insects than to educate
our 100000 children.
1t is clear to those who know most
about the subject that unless radical and
immediate measures are adopted to re-
store sure, safe and natural equilibrium
between insectivorous birds and their
foods, the time will soon come when the
annual loss caused by insects to agricul.
ture in this country alone will be counted
In billions instead Of millions of dollars.
Tho estimated annual loss to farmers
through insects Is now about $500, 000, 900
year.
These are some of the striking facts and
figures with which the senate committee
on forest reservations and the protection
OF game accompanies bill. reported by
Senator George P. Mclean Of Connecticut
to protect the migratory game and insect
iverous birds in the United States. To
see bill like this pass has been the
ambition of true sportsmen and econo-
mists for many years. The destruction Of
game and song birds and their eggs by
pothunters and thoughtless boys has gone
on almost unchecked, except by sporadic
state legislation. for so long that regions
that once abounded with the feathsrsd
creatures are now destitute. No people
ever were more blessed with a plentiful
supply Of useful and beautiful birds than
the people Of the United States; and no
country have the little creatures been
slaughtered more reekIessIy, Many per-
sons are now living who remember when
all the markets OF the east were glutted

1854 states that one dealer In New York
Is known to have received twenty tons
OF prairie chickens In one season, and
that some Of the larger poultry dealers
were estimated to have sold from l5sooo
to 2ooo@ game birds In six months.
