much confusion as to just what is the basis for
the controversy in which Congress is involved
and over which some Of our seventy fye-hun-
fdred-dollar statesmen seem to have become ln-
necessarily excited.
The Panama canal bill grants free tolls to
American vessels passing through the waterway.
Great Britain protests against this bill on the
ground that it discriminates against British yes
ses, and therefore is in violation of the follow
ing clause Of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty:
"The canal shall be free and open to the yes
sells of commerce and war of all nations obsery-
ing these rules on terms of entire equality, so
that there shall be no discrimination against
any such nation, or its citizens, or subjects, in
respect Of the conditions charges Of traffic or
otherwise
Great Britain maintains that this clause in
clndes literally "all nations, the United States
as well as other countries, and that it forbids
the United States discriminating in favor of it.
self Congress, on the other hand, takes the POI
sition, and is supporting it violently, that the
United States is entirely at liberty to grant free
tolls to it's vessels if it wishes to- and that it at
least may pass its merchant ships through the
waterway without charge.
An evasion Of the direct point at issue has
been proposed by several competent legal au1
thorities in Congress, in a plan to return to
vessel-owners the tolls paid by their ships into
the treasury. This return of tolls would be con-
sidered subsidy, and as most foreign nations
are substituting their maritime interests, they
could not with grace object to similar action on
the part Of the United States
This is late date at which to take the sub
ject up, but there is little doubt that it will be
amicably settled, as Uncle Sam has little mari
time trade except in coastwise shipping, where
foreign vessels are already barred from compe-
tition.

DIDN'T SPRINKLE
ALL KALAI<AU ia ROAD

Complaints made to the supervisors
that since July there has been no
sprinkling OF Kalakaua avenue by the
city carts have met with the reply
that the sprinKling of this street is up
to the park commission, and that the
park commission is paid $500 a month
for the maintenance of Kapiolani park.
A Honolulu citizen tired of the
clouds of dust stirred up by every
passing vehicle and blown into houses
and shops along the road. made the
complaint. The supervisors thought
the park commission was having the
street sprinkied, until informed that
the cart sprinkles that part of the
road within Kapiolani park but care
fully avoids wetting down the road be-
tween the park and the street-car line
The board is going to request the
powers behind the cart to sprinkle the
rest OF the road.

SUGAR CONCESSIONS

Although the house has refused to accept the
senate amendment to its sugar legislation, the
amendment being IN the form of substitute
bin, there is little doubt that il the house really
means business It will have to make important
concessions before action can be taken.
Up to date, only one move Of the many made
IN Congress on sugar.tariff revision has come as
q surprise or has differed from the adj
vance prophecies That was the adoption of
8 efree sugar. program by the Democratic house
caucus and this has since proved to be merely a
sudden political maneuver Since that time the
sugar measures have moved along steadily just
IS the forecasts Of weeks before have indicated
There is no reason now to believe that sugar
legislation Of any kind will be perfected at this
session Events Of the past few days Indicate
That the tariff will be left hanging up for the
Democratic canpaigners of the fall to shoot at
from the stump Even IN tlid event of a Demo
cratic victory next fall free sugar is by no means
d certain result If the investigation Of the
house and senate committees showed anything,
Il showed that the principal beneiciaries Of free
sugar will be the refners, and that there is a
direct connection between the trust and the tariff
attacks Surely there has been enough enligllt-
eminent among the voters, on the subject Of the
trust and the freesugar howl, to create senti-
ment in the beet-sugar states at least opposed to
q disastrous slash in the tariff

Hawaii will reap q direct and enormous ben.
EFT from the parcels post BIN which has just been
agreed upon in the senate
The measure has passed the house and the sem
ate committee ON postofices and post roads has
reached an agreement on IT There is every pros.
pect that when it is through the senate, con.
ference will advance it to final passage and sig
nature.
Under the provisions Of the bill, the country
is divided into zones according to the distance
from the startingpoint that the parcels are to
be carried For instance, the first zone is fifty
miles and under, while the eighth zone is 1900
miles and over Within the first zone, the rate
is five cents for the first pound and three for each
additional pound. For the eighth zone, in which
Hawaii will be situated with respect to the main
land, the charge will be twelve cents per pound
straight, the maximum weight eleven pounds.
Hawaii's lack of rural free delivery will be
some check on the full benefit of the parcels post
III this territory, but ultimately that too will be
overcome. When it is realized that eleven-po
packages can be handled in this safe, sure and
speedy way for twenty-five cents the people Of
the islands will become steady and extensive
patrons of the service.
The ezone system is the only scientific sys-
tenn the experts have suggested. 1t correIates
the length Of the haul and the hauling price
The measure is a progressive one and ought to
mass before Congress adjourns.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletfn.
Sir.--At the request Of a number Of
citizens and aliens who live and who
have to travel mp and down Nuuanu

for publication. hoping thereby to ef-
feet some good for the cause of Ho-
nolulu Beautiful and It's sanitation
On Monday afternoon, before 3
o'clock. an automobile killed a dog
just mauka OF Coelho Lane, and that
dog has lain there since-and il is TO
be hoped that 1t will not remain there
, until next campaign.
The Board of Health. BY law. has
full authority over nnisanees affecting
the health of the community, in this
Territory. That authority was sfl-
preme until the Supreme Court lin
tied 1t in the yellow" banana 4uos-
tion. Today, the Board of Health IN
spector PASSED that dead and decay
ing dog, without noting its condition
nor making effort to cause It's re-
moval.
The police have been up and down
that road since Monday 4 p. IN. till
this "Wednesday morning o'clock.
and not word. nor attempt to abate
the nuisance although they have
been busy-very busy rounding UP
un-tagged dogs
The road department. officials and
employees likewise have been mp and
down. and for like reasons. they, too.
have left that poor canine to the ten
der mercies of the wormy tribe.
Now the only other authority left is
the garbage department. But, how
can that department be expected to.
come far up Nuuanu Valley to give
poor doggie a decent disposal when
1T lacks the necessary equipment
which the service demands.
& Now, it seems to. us of Nuuanu
Valley, that If the Board Of Health
would only exert little despotic8
power in the right direction, poor dog
gle would not have been so long left
exposed to public view and be offens
