the opinion that the suggestions con
tanned in the above resolution are ex-
csllent and decided step in the di-
rection of complete records being
maintained from which comparative
figures would be readily obtainatle,
thereby securing TO the county the
fullest information as to the money
Section l03. Act SO. Of the Session
Laws 1905, provides as follows:
THE county treasurer shall. keep
all moneys received by him belonging
TO the territory, or tn any other
county, in his possession until dis
bursed according TO law. He shall not
place the same in the possession o.
any person for any purpose: nor loan
or in any manner use or permit any
person to use the same, except as
provided by law; but nothing in this
section shall preclude him, with the
approval of the board. from making
special deposits fer the safe keeping
of public moneys, but he shall be
liable therefor on his official bond.
All the county monies have been
deposited by the treasurer with the
First Bank of Hilo, Ltd.
Two warrants for $4,000 were re-
#eeived by the county from the terri
torial treasurer in June and Deem
Der, 1912, in partial settlement of their
proportion of taxes and the total
amount which was received by the
county and which therefore came into
the possession of its treasurer for
the year 1912 was S345.623.19.
AS the treasurer is making his de-
posit under the authority of the above
cited section of Act %, Session Laws
1905, and not under the authority OF
the Depository Act 156 OF the Session
Laws of 1911, and is liable under his
bond, and as his boad of $4,000 is
inadequate looking to the monies re
cieved by him." as set forth in the

TIE WAY TO REFORM

Serious consideration is deserved for the rec
concentrations submitted to the senate hold-oyer
committee by the Audit Company of Hawaii as
"a result of its investigations into the financial
juggling of Hawaii county This report, it will
be noted, sets forth clearly, concisely and EN-
phatically some much-needed changes in county
administration dealing with the auditors office,
the treasurer's office and other offices and func-
[tions.
The Audit Company made an impartial and
authoritative examination and its report .s i'm
partial and authoritative. One of the most i'm
portant changes recommended is either that the
governor appoint the county auditors or that
there be created a general auditing bureau or
department of accounts to audit the accounts of
all county and territorial offices This is just
exactly what the Star. Bulletin has consistently
urged and in this Recommendation, as in others,
the Audit Company comedies with the findings
of HI. Gooding Field. As matter of fact, no
other conclusion could be reached but that Ha-
wai ought to fall in line with progressive main
land communities and establish an accounts bu-
reau apart from its auditors office,-and after
the Audit Company's report we imagine that the
territorial auditor will not insist that the ac-
counts department be made a part of his office.
The Audit Company has reached conclusions
and set forth recommendations that common
sense and good Judgment demand and have de-
manded for months. We look to the senate hold
over committee to initiate the necessary legis-
lation to the houses to carry out this legislation
We have the scandal and the way to reform is
pointed out Public policy is too plain to be dis
regarded.

MlGUIRE NOT THE ONLY One TO BLAME

Maguiye's story apparently is the old story of
the trusted official who cannot resist the temp
tation of a lpose system of handling public
funds.
Banks and business houses recognize the I'M
portance Of safeguarding their officials by build
ing up a system of checks that is hard to take
advantage of. The weakness of human nature,
the strain of long temptation put before the eyes
of a man on small salary, have opened many
tills and forced many safes.
The government that permits temptation to
be kept before its employees is largely responsible
for the wrong that results, for the crookedness
that results. 1t is imperative that the present
faulty system of county auditing be swept away
and an up-to-date system established that re-
moves men in fiduciary positions as far as pos
sible from the lure of glittering gold within
reach of their fingers.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-03-11

s-
tions could have extended over such
comparatively long period of time.
Talk of Big Ring.
Now it would be hard to amaze the
usual Hawaii citizen with any kind of
disclosure, but interest rs intense,
as to how many, and Vino, viii be in
yolved in the later exposures OF the
methods in vogue in handling the
county's money Prophecies are freely
end frequently being made that many
Of the former and present county Of
ficials will be found to have benefited
by the defalcations. Some Oh tie tax
payers even go so far as to say that
this is the only method by which some
of the county officials could ever be
ousted from office.
Despite Maguire's signed statement
of the illegal use of funds, there are
some of his close friends who declare
that he is only the victim of the sys-
tenn of accounting in use, and-"per-
haps careiessness.' at is impossible
that he could have used all that
money" County Clerk Kai declared
yesterday.
Maybe the money was spent for
some good purposes. but not for coun-
ty use," was statement of Assistant
County Attorney Heen." This state
ment he later qualified, when asked,
what for?" with II don't know"
What Became of the Money:
II don't know" is the usual answer
of friends to the question, for what
was the money used Some point to
the fact that, at times. 5:aguire was
known to be pressed for money and
found it necessary to secure loans.
But there are others, and among
them those whose suspicious were
first aroused that there was a tangle
in the auditors office, who point to
the fact that he and his family had
always lived extravagantiy. There
are stories of many hundreds Of dol
lars monthly spent by him for house
of ten or fifteen dollars for his shirts
are said to be only small item in
the money that he has spent, among
which is upkeep and purchase of an
automobile and other luxuries. In the
past, when asked as to how he could
live so extensively, it is canned, he
replied that his wife had a regular in
come and few were particularly sus-
pieions, because his father, the Kona
rancher, is known to be wealthy.
There was much comment today
that apparently he had not appeared
to be under any strain since he signed
the statement to the auditors on Feb
ruary 18th, but others who had more
than an inkling as to the disclosures
apt to be made. maintained that he

Incfinations.

Washington, Jan. 10. Questions
whether President-elect Wilson is
free trader and single tax advocate,
and whether he, together with Senator
O'Gorman of New York, had Endorsed
Mrs. Stevens B. Ayres for the presi-
dency Of the Woman's National Dem
ocratic league, caused dissension in
debate at the convention of that Or
ganization here.
These subjects precipitated clash
between Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby of
New York, the retiring president of
the organization, and Mrs. NJ. T. Scott,
president-general of the Daughters of
the Revolution.
Nominating and seconding speeches
displayed much feeling at times and
it was with difficulty that the chair
was able to maintain semblance of
order. The greatest show of feeling
came when the election for president
had been completed and the announce
ment made that Mrs. Ayres had been
elected.

Mr.. Wilson pointed OUT incidentally
that while he was seeking to consult
as many of his friends as possible, the
fact that some of his intimate advisers
during the campaign had not yet ap
peared at the state house should not
be construed as disinclination on his
part to consult them.

High Water May Result In This
Cincinnati and Wheeling Expect
Worst January Flood In
History

Pittsburgh, Jan. 9.-Warned some
eighteen hours in advance of the ap.
proach of the worst January flood in
the history of the city, Pittsburgh was
prepared when the wall of water at
the junction of the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers reached the crest OF
31.3 feet, more than nine feet above
the danger mark.
No Fatalities.
No fatalities were reported, but
many lives were endangered through
out the flood district and the loss OF
property will be enormous.
All night long residents of the low
lying portions of the city worked to
rescue their property from the rapidly
rising waters. Patented "caulked
floor doors" were placed at the en-
frances to stores and residences and
police in skiffs rowed ceaselessly up
and down the streets and alleys to
aid those caught mapping. Several
thousand workmen on the South Side
were thrown out of work when the
water rose over the first floors of the
big mills. Debris is piled a foot deep
in cellars of houses and on the first
floor of many a river-front home.
Wheeling Receives Warning.
Weatherman Pennywitt at 8 a. m.
Thursday announced that the crest OF
the flood had been reached and busted
his force sending warnings to points
further down the Ohio river, where
the crest of the flood wave may be
expected late today or tomorrow
Wheeling may EXPECT forty-seven or
forty-eight feet by tomorrow. This
will mean that the loss to industrial
establishments and low-lying residen
tial sections will be enormous.
Cincinnati Fears Coal Famine.
Cincinnati. - Forecaster Devereauz
said the Ohio river at Cincinnati will
climb to IS feet or higher by Satur
day or Sunday. With a stage of d
feet at 8 a. m. today, a flood stage Of
so feet is predicted for tomorrow
The river is rising half a foot an hour
Dealers fear the possibility of Goa

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 10.--At a

of the citrus fruit growers of south
ern California and the trans-continen-

the former asked for a special 30-day

The special rate is desired so that
the growers may rush the fruit affect

AS there is no way of determining the
extent of the damage done to the fruit,
all of the shipments will be merely
