CnOlce-E66
1t has been a long time since there was such
q mix-up in the presidential situation, and the
presence of Roosevelt in the equation makes it
impossible to figure on anything for certain. In
a general way,.the Solid South is conceded to
Wilson. II he should come out ahead there as
well as in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas,
Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, hescould just make the 266
votes necessary to elect him. This would make
1t necessary for him to carry New York Usual
" New York and Indiana have been regarded as
deciding the contest, but they will not necessar-
lily decide it this time - 4. y .&s4- Il y y
In a general way again the following states
are conceded as being likely to be for Taft: Con
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine Massachu-
sets, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New
Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Utah, Vermont, Wyoming and Wisconsin This
would give him only 1S1 electoral votes, and
there are number of states included here which
may swing either to Wilson or Roosevelt, or
LaFollette, such as New York, Missouri and
Wisconsin The states that are pretty likely to
side with Roosevelt are California, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas and Washington
IHiS #W0uIu give hooSc'cle or 'ooCS, anu Vi
course he has fighting chance for many more.
The Taft managers will not own that they
feel any uncertainty about the outcome and de-
clare that Taft will carry all the conservative
states and enough of the doubtful ones to take
him through. The Wilson men similarly figure
out the success of the Democratic ticket. But
careful analysis of the electoral vote of the states
in the light of the situation will show that none
of the candidates may have majority in the
electoral college and therefore that the election
may be thrown into the house of representatives:

THE PAYING CONTROVERSY AGAIN

The paving controversy. was. revived again. last
night by member Of the board of supervisors
Who demands that the superintendent of public
works take action toward revoking the Rapid
Transit's franchise. One of the supervisors, in
supporting his stand in the matter said last
night that the supervisors are bound by The law
and have no discretion in the matter.
1t is true that the law and the supreme courts
Interpretation 0f the law hold that the public
officials have no discretion and that under its
charter the Rapid Transit company must lay
paving in conformity with the sother paving on
the street But this very point las been Initiated
BY the board of supervisors whenSthey agreed to
allow the Rapid Transit to lay paving partly of
bitulithic and partly of lava rock, instead of all
bitulithic as q strict interpret tion Of the law
would require
Shorn of technicalites and legal yerbiage, the.
supervisors consented to stretch the law about
halfway. Now Murray and bis 6llowers talk Of
the legal requirements which give them no dis.
erection. They have already used discretion, all,
Living strictly up to the letter 6f the law their
arguments no longer carry weight.
The Star Bulletin has not at any time crit.
cised the supervisors for trying to abide by the
provisions of the law. This paper has realized
that the city authorities were bound by law
and supreme court decision. On the other
hand the Rapid Transit company flatly refused
to accept bitulithic, and gave the very good reas
son that could not place itself at the mercy Of
patent controlled by a monopoly.
The supervisors have been in a difficult posi-
ton. They should have done one thing or the
other,-teither yielded to the Rapid Transit out.

FIGHTING ON THE ELECTORAL Vote

The various campaign managers are already
very busy preparing their "ciaims" as to the
election results. Each side is very certain that
it's man will win and the only trouble is that the
various claims do not jibe. The electoral col.
lege, as now agreed on, will consist of 531 mem
bers, namely one for each of the 435 representa-
tives and 90 senators in Congress, as provided
for under the last congressional apportionment
and including Arizona and New Mexico These
new states each have three votes in the electoral
coIlege-one for each senator and third for
their representative in each case. The electoral
vote Of the states under the new arrangement
will be according to the following schedule,
which should be preserved for future reference j:

a PATERRAL LAND POLICY

Wisconsin, the state whose splendid progress
siyisln3is not measured msterlns of personal ann
bition fas is that of the selfappointed Progress
i've leader, has under way great land-coloniza,
ton policy from which Hawaii may learn much.
Wisconsin plans to put aside the middleman,
the land speculator, the real estate operator
Whosesfive and ten per cent. commissions are
added TO the profits of the landowners and these
IN turn to the value Of the.land.s 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 Hand seller.
Under the plan on foot JIM this commonwealth
now, the state acquires present unproductive
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 a 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 paternally interested in its peo-
Die and its lands Those cololiists who cannot
afford wagons and farm implements are to be
nroyided with them, and the beauty of the whole
scheme is that the state makes no appropriation,
except the moderate sum needed to acquire the
land in the first instance All of the other eX
.fnses will be met from the money realized by
,e sale of the land.
Advanced economic ideas are put to the test

R. I.CO.
Want Governor and Superin-
tendent to Take Acton in
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 will 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 its
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 it 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
peryisor Murray, who offered the mo-
ton, declared that thes board has no
right to yield, and that under the law
the board has no right to yield. ~
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 it wishes to use," but Deputy
Attorney Milverton jumped mp and
declared that he had not advised this
and that his opinion had evidently
been misunderstood, both by the
newspapers and others,
The motion passed easily, as we'll

Superintendent of Public Works IN.

Transit to sprinkle along it's routes.
