way could be paved for So per foot.
''Pull" is Now a Requisite.
Mr. owen stated that the annual
funds available for all city and county
road work for the year ending Janu.
airy 1, 1919, we're in round figures
S135,OOO, of which there was ex-
pended $4,000 for maintenance and
repair of roads, $4,000 for reconstruc.
ton, leaving a balance Of only 500 900
for new streets. This $4,000 covered
sixteen projects during 1911, or a lit
tie less than $4,000 each, and includes
the extraordinary and unexpected
cost of the Nuuanu avenue job, which
so far has cost $4,000 and is still un.
finished.
Mr.. Owen alleged that, under the
present system, there is no method
by which what road moneys there are
may be expended, and that pull
with the supervisors is the chief
requisite for getting new job done.

SLACK WATER
ON THE MARKET

Very little change resulted in sugar
stock prices today. After the session
of the exchange yesterday there was
considerable trading, but almost all
was at the morning quotations.
Thirty shares of Eva sold for 80; so
shares of Hawaiian Commercial went
for 44%, and as more sold for 40 fiat
This last was about the only advance
in prices noted. Bidding for this stock
today had advanced to As, but holders
now want 45A. No sales were made
on the board. Several hundred shares
of Olaa brought yesterday mornings
prices of "a per share, and SO shares
of Oahu in two blocks sold for 20.
During the session this morning the
business was comparatively light.

STREET PAVING
BY ASSESSMENT

As forecast in outline in the Star
yesterday afternoon, c. G. owen, Of
the Manoa improvement Club, at a
meeting of that organization last
evening, read a most interesting pa
per on the assessment plan of street
building. The meeting was held at
the home of the president of the
club, Fred l.. Waldron, and was well
attended. After a general discussion
of the measures proposed by Mr..
Owen, the recommendations of the
paper were adopted.
Civic Pride to Build Streets.
Mr.. Owen advocated legislation
1 which will place the initiative of road
, building in Honolulu in the hands of
abutting property owners Upon the
application of two-thirds of such prop
erty owners on a given thoroughfare
the board of supervisors shall be re-
quired to issue bends sufficient to
cover the work to be done. Two
thirds of the cost of such streets
shall be paid by the property directly
! benefited, the remaining third being
paid out of the city funds. The prop
erty owners shall be permitted to pay
their assessments in ten annual in.
stallments with six per cent interest
on deferred payments, the bonds be
ing preferably ten-year issues.
Tn matter will be taken before the
Central improvement Committee, and
this body will be asked to submit the
proposition for approval to the vari
GUS district improvement clubs, with
a view to having bill prepared for
introduction in the next legislature.
No Hope Under Present System.
In his address Mr.. Owen pointed
out the fact that this assessment sys
tenn is used in most mainland cities
in some modification of the idea sug
gested by him for Honolulu. He
pointed out that if Manoa is to hole
the place she aspires to, as the lead
ing residence section of Honolulu
she should have at once about 10000
running feet CT new street paving
This at SO per foot would amount t
100000. If by the hardest kind o
work it were possible to get $4,000
per year fer road work from the su
pervisors, it would be twelve or iii
teen years before this work woult
be completed. Under the assessmen
plan proposed, the work could b
done at once, at a cost to propert
owners on each side of the street q
unfortunately rs cents per runnin

BURNING OIL WELL.

San Francisco Examiner, April 81:
An abandoned well on the Union Oil
Company's property south of town is
proving a curiosity, as it is burning
from thirty to forty feet down in the
hole. Although abandoned for some
time past, oil has been oozing out OF
the well and accommodating around the
mouth. In some manner the oil be
came ignited and it has been burning
for some time. After the surface OF
was consumed the fire worked it's way
down the crater of the we'll and Is
now burning from this depth nigh

COOPERATION IN
COTTON PLANTING

Cooperative work in cotton grow
ing is being started throughout the
South this year by the Department of
Agriculture. The work is under the
general direction of Professor b. r.
Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant
industry, but there are hundreds of
demonstrators working among the
cotton planters.
One of the aims of the work is to
introduce community cotton growing.
This simply means that larger or
smaller community of growers will
work together and raise but single
type Of cotton, excluding all other
types, so that there win be no chance
for accidental hybridization. When
the type of cotton best adapted for
any one community is settled, It will
be ginned and baled and sold under
the communitys brand, and the cotton
buyer, whether he is in Liverpool or
New York or Tokyo, will know from
the community brand just what to ex
pect in the bale.
Method Adopted Abroad
This method of Standardization cot
ton has been followed in Egypt and
parts of India for years. The cotton
from these localities is considered
among buyers as standard, and they
are willing to buy on the strength OF
the label without tearing open and
sampling the bale. This insures the
bale getting to the market in the
best possible condition, and elimin
ates the problem Of "tare,' which Is
the amount of weight arbitrarily de
Quoted by the foreign buyers for ex
ira weight of extra wrappings thai
have been put on the bale.
The same system has been followed
for years in the Sea Islands" where
that remarkable long staple cottor
of the United States is grown. The
Sea Island planters keep up theil
strain of seed and do not allow AM
inferior cotton to be planted on the
islands. The Department of Agricul
ture has felt for a long time tina
while it was not possible to grow
Sea Island cotton everywhere in thc
United States, it was possible t.
greatly improve the local cotton, and
what was equally important, to de
velop local type so that spinner
and mill men would know just wha
to expect from the stock grown in
particular locality.
Color and Length of Staple.

Taft Endorsed.

We, the members of the Re-
publican Central committee of
Darke county, proclaim our 10y
atty to the principals of the Re-
publican party and express our
confidence in the party's able,
honest and progressive leader,
William Howard Taft.
The President has made good.
He has faithfully and courage
ously worked for the best inter-
ests of the people.
The list of achievements of his
administration is greater than
that of any other executive for
the same time.
He has effectively and fear
lessly enforced the Antitrust
law.
He has pointed the way to the
only scientific solution of the tar
iff problem by the appointment
of a Tariff Board to ascertain the
difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad with a
view to framing just and co.
uitable law that will provide a
tariff equal to the difference in
the price of American labor and
that of cheap foreign labor, with
a fair profit to the manufacturer,
with luxuries rather than com.
mon necessities bearing the bur-
den Of producing revenue.
He has never approved a sim
gle schedule that raised the duty
on a single common food product.
He has kept in view the Re-
publican policy of protection to
American industries that will Sc
cure fair wages to American Ia
bor and markets to the American
farmer.
1t is Of special significance to
an agricultural and farming CON-
munity that President Taft will
probably be the only barrier be-
tween the farmer and the iniq-
uitious Free Sugar bill. This bill
approved by a Democratic House
can only be passed in the senate
by a combination of Democrats
and Republican senators, un-
friendly to the President. De-
signed for the benefit of the
eastern sugar refneries of the
Sugar Trust, it will destroy an
industry of $3.50, 900, 900, the ben
efits of which are shared by 127, :
900 beet sugar farmers.
His administration has sue
cessfully prevented the arbitrary
increase of railroad rates.
He has preserved Over71, ,OOO,- :
600 acres of public lands for the
use Of the people.
