SENATOR r1AKEkAU HAS FUN
WITH A JOKER" WATER BILL

What has been branded as Joker
had it's head snapped off in the SEN
ate this morning, and though Senator
Makekau smiled it wasn't the smile of
victory, but something of the con-
verse.
The scheme for Honokaa to get a
waterworks was nicely worked out,
and il probably would have passed in
the senate had not Senators Rice and
WirtZ, and a dozen or so others, no.
ticed the bug, whereupon Senator Ma
kekau asked that the bill be re-refer-
red to his select Hawaii committee.
The plan, which he freely admitted
afterwards, was that new bill to
establish water works system should
be introduced by the committee. The
first bill was objected to because il
asked that the territory pay the costs
of the works, but in the second meas
ure, Il was provided that the money
should be advanced by way of loan
TO Honokaa, and that the government
should be paid back. ~. II. -. ..
So far everything was all right.
But Senator Makekau recommended
that the original one be tabled, but
according to his report they over
Tapped and both should be passed. =

MERCHANTS IN
FAVOR OF new
ELECTRIC Bill

BY a vote of Is to 4 the Merchants
Association this morning endorsed the
bill to grant to Theodore Hoffman p
franchise for electric light and power
in, the city and county Of Honolulu.
At least these figures reversed were
the count whereby motion against
the proposed franchise was defeated,
after which a motion to endorse the
bill was declared carried without a
formal count Of the show of hands.
This action was taken at special
meeting called by the directors to con-
slider the bill. President Swain an
nounced the purpose on calling the
meeting to order. stating that the di-
rectors did not feel like passing upon
the measure without reference to the
association.
The first thing done was to refuse
a hearing to Wm Gitt on the ques.
tion, a letter from him asking for the
privilege having been read, In which
he engaged to use nothing but courte-
ous language. NJ. Brasch said that,
inasmuch as Mr.. Gitt was not mem
Der of the association and as his ad-
Eeftisements showed be had IN axe
to grind" he should not be heard, and
moved accordingly. With an amend
ment suggested by VII. McInerny to
confine the refusal to that particular
occasion the motion carried.
Mr.. McInerny opened the discussion
'by asking what interest the associa-
tion had in the matter anyway.

want he went on to say "It seems
to me that to oppose this franchise is

House Committee Roasts De-
partment of Public Works for
Laxity and Incompetency

Owing TO gross carelessness on the
part of the head OF the public works
department" as II sets forth I'm its
report, the finance committee of the
house this morning recommended the
passage of Senator Chillingworth' &
s. b. ~, which provides for the re-
endorsement of laborers and material
men who furnished labor and build
ing material for the construction of
the new Boys Industrial School at
Waialee, Oahu.
The committees report is scath-
ing criticism of the public works. de-
partment, explaining that the superin-
tendert failed to abide by the law in
the case OF Contractor Angus P. Nc
Donald, who was paid nearly all the
money appropriated for the new school
building and who then hastened away,
leaving considerable number of un-
paid bills.
The report. given in full below, was
adopted. and the bill for the reim-
bursement OF the laborers and mate
riaimen who were left holding the
sack when Mcdonald vanished, is
scheduled for final reading in the
house tomorrow morning. Having
passed the upper house, 1t will go di-
rect TO the governor after leaving the
house tomorrow.
The finance committees report is as
follows:
1T would seem from your commit
tees investigation that the public
works department approved of the
final payment to the contractor with
out first being fully advised whether
or not the contractor had paid the
outstanding bills on the job. although
the contract clearly states that,
The contractor agrees that he will
furnish satisfactory evidence that sall
persons. firms or corporations who
have done work or supplied material
under this agreement have been paid
or satisfactorily secured before the
superintendent Of public works shall
make final payment to the contractor.
In case such evidence Is not fur
nished, such amount as may be neces-
sary to meet the claims of said per-
sons, firms or corporations may be
retained from the moneys due said
contractor under this contract until
the liabilities shall be fully discharged
or notice OF such liabilities. with
drawn
ut would seem to your committee
that the public works department was
exceedingly lax in handling this mat
ter, since from testimony given before
your committee It appears that the
chief clerk Of the department advised
his superi0rs that there we're out
standing claims against the contract
on account Of materials furnished for
the building, and even in the face of
such information the head Of the de-
partment certified voucher for the
final payment.
Your committee believes that
since no materialmen's lien can be
filed against a territorial building
that II is proper for the territory to
make good, what to us appears, a
wrong done certain claimants owing
to gross carelesspess on the part of
the head Of the public works depart
ment, and we therefore recommend
the passage of the bill"

things of that kind; but a vaudeville
performance or any other like per-
formance is not in this line, and there.
fore the agents of these concerns have
no right to insist on the performers
acting on Sunday. Perhaps this a
lesser ground, but even Sunday per,

getting theatrical performances by

| may be wrong about this, but GER
tainly this is stated to be the fact on
the street. ..
Finally, no one seems to have con-
sidered the very grave and important
point that the United States maintains
at large expense an army and navy
for the maintenance aid enforcement
of law; and the law of the Territory
of Hawaii, like that or most of the
states in the Union, prohibits per.
formances of the kind that appear to
be desired on Sundays. Is it not a
very strange and demoralizing exam
pie for the army and navy or either
of them to deliberately violate the law

Fight in HOUSE
ON Change in
TAXLAW

On the theory that the new federal
income tax and the prospective reduc-
tion in the sugar tariff Will place
enormous burdens on the people of
Hawaii, the finance committee of the
house this morning brought forth re-
concentrations for the reduction of
the present income tax by one per
cent, cutting it down one.haif.
The minority of the committee, Re
representatives. Norman K. Lyman and
Paele, returned an adverse report,
however, Lyman taking the floor, de-
livering powerful argument of CO.
gent reasons why the measure should
not pass, and won his battle The
house adopted the minority report,
Watkins house bill 277 was tabled,
and house bill 269, Lymans measure,
dealing with the same subject, was to
be taken up for discussion this after
noon.
Watkins bill proposed to amend the
present income tax law, slashing the
tax to half, but leaving. the same
amount for conservation purposes as
is now granted The remainder of
the revenue, or one-haf of one per
cent, he would give to immigration.
Taking the floor on behalf of the ma
jority's recommendation, Watkins de.
clared the federal laws, added to the
present territorial taxes would create
burden almost greater than the peo-
pie of the territory could bear. He
thought it was time for retrenchment
The majority of the finance commit
tee reported adversely on the Lyman
measure this morning, and Lyman and
Paele brought in their minority report,
recommending the bills passage.
