ton of it. No satisfactory basis for spreading
the expense has yet been arrived at
Sen. Judd, who is thoroughly familiar with
the laws and was instrumental in their enact
ment, now comes forward with suggestion that
seems to answer the question. He finds in ST.
preme court decision a statement that the
amount Of the frontage tax laid on the property
may not exceed the value of the benefit to the
property. The case is that of property-owner
in the Kewalo section against. the superintendent
of public works. and involved the validity of the
revolving fund" act of 1911. In npholding that
act, the supreme court said, the decision being
written by Chief Justice Robertson: - : . =
The duty to grade pave such highway may
not be imposed by law upon abutting owners and -
although such owners may legally be compelled to
contribute TO the cost Of grading and, paving the
highway upon which their lands are situated, the
amount Of the enforced contribution, laid In the
form Of special tax assessment cannot legally
exceed the value of the special tenets which

provements - :. szzz.- z Z T ~ %EE @@.
Senator Judd is of the opinion that frontage.
taxes should be assessed ON the basis Of this state
trent above, the property being made to pay to the
value OF the benefit expected from the improve
ment. The board of supervisors, sitting as a
board of equalization, will thus determine the
amount of the frontage-tax after taking expert
testimony and hearing from the owners, and, in
case the improvement is decided upon, the abut-
ting property will pay the amount Of the aggre
gate benefits. The general fund viii be called
upon for the remainder. seFf sss.
Thre are numerous problems such as this to
be worked out. Just now the board of snpervi
sors intends to. finish its 1913 work on the old
basis, that of genefalfund payments. But the
people Of this community have every right to in.
sist that the laws put the statute books by the
legislature Of 1914 shall be carried out by the
pervisors of the city and county of Honolulu The
final determination upon local improvement
rests with the property owners, of course but the
supervisors, with their power to lay out districts
and do the initiative work, are able either to en-
courage or kill temporarily the slocaIimproye

EFFICIENCY

The night patrol of the detective department,
recognized without Captain Mcnuffie and Dep
uty Kellett, made an unusual record yesterday
when, after capturing an alleged Filipino thief,
the patrol allowed itself to be locked in the said
Filipino's room, the little brown brother himself
making good his escape This exploit is almost
as brilliant as that of Officer Berry Sizemore,
who, it will be remembered, allowed Korean
prisoner to be badly beaten by an outsider while
the Korean was in his custody Sizemore, who
also helped in the beating has been suspended
for thirty days, the sheriff carefully dating the
suspension back to October Is, the date when the
assault was committed 1t took the sheriff from
October 10 to November 5 to Investigate the
case, and now by dating the suspension back,
Jarrett will reinstate Sizemore in little more
than q week.

WILSON AND MEXICO

Events in Mexico change hue so rapidly that
little can be said today that stands good tolnor.
row, except that President Wilson is steadily,
unfIinchingly and with increasing firmness
pressing home the order that Huerta must go.
His message of some weeks ago was pacific in
tone; in fact, it was criticised because it con
tanned no threat of armed Intervention Never.
theless it contained, as do all of Wilson's mes
sages, the calm statement of fact that he in:
sists upon being recognized as fact; the out
line of an order that he insists upon being
obeyed. He said then that government found.
ed on lawlessness was abhorrent to American
sense of Justice; he drives home that statement
now with the order that Huerta must 90. He
appealed then to the and sensibilities of the
Mexicans; they did not understand or would not
understand the purpose behind his courteous
words; he speaks more plainly now. He for
bears to send bluff ultimatum, but in all essen,
tial respects that ultimatum has been delivered
to Huerta in Mexico City.
Wilson will not cease to press his point If
he finds it necessary to press it by force of arms,
It is not to be doubted that arms will be called
on In the meantime, hewill exhaust every other
resource; he will bend little backward in his
effort to avoid physical clash; he will exert his
great strength of moral suasion and he will use
his marvellous equipment for manipulating men
and events with entire integrity, be it observed,
but manipulation nevertheless. If patience fails,
If moral effort fails he will not finch at thefinal
resort 60.

PANAMA CANAL

Experts Say There Never Was
a Gathering SO Big or
so Divergent
slBy La .est NALL

ANCoN, C. Z.--It has been noticed
by those who have watched the con.
stfuction sof the canal closely, that
the personality of Colonel Goethals
very seldom forces itself to the front |;
1t Is always In the way things are be.
ing done that the man ut the head of
the big job inpresses himself upon
the workers. With water running In

flooded areas still needing attention,
>the question sometimes occurs as to
how Colonel Goethals managed to adj
vance construction as he has done 1t.
Asked some time ago how he could
keep himself posted so thoroughly, and
watch operations throughout the
Canal Zone. Colonel Goethals said
that his chief interest at PanamaTwaB
not so much the engineering problems
but the men,. II the men could be
handled well, he said, the canal would
build itself. There probably never
has been piece of construction any
where that brought together so many
different nationa1ities, and so many
men in different positions, as at Pan.
anna. This fact Colonel Goethals had
to take into consideration. He has
shown a peculiar knack of squirting
the workers to do their level best.
Good.natured rivalry was one means
by which he accomplished results; by
putting one section gang against an
other. ~: - -, = 3tgEzsE &
Colonel Goethals comes Of Dutch
stock His grandfather came to Amer
lea early in the last century, and the
family settled in Brooklyn. Young
'Goethals started work in brokers'
office, and at the age OF II entered
the College OF the City of New York.
On April 81, 1876, he was admitted to
West Point Previously, the young
man had written to President Grant,
asking to be admitted to the military
academy, but he received no answer.
it was through the good offices of
Sunset" Cox, the great political lead
:er of New York at the time, that Goe-
thals had his ambition gratified.
Colonel Goethals did not lind active
service during the Spanish-American
war, since he was sent to Porto Rico,
where nothing happened, but he took
this philosophically. It is to be re-
membered that most of the assign
ments that came to him, such as dig.
ging canals, building bridges and
locks, were exactly in line with what
confronted him when he was asked to
take charge at Panama in April, 1907.

Senator O'Gorman is spoken of as the prob
able successor to Charles F. Murphy as the lead
er of Tammany Hall and, ex-officio, of the Dem
ocratic organization in New York Senator
O'Gorman is one of the brainiest men in DemOc-
rlcy today and his independence of thought and
action is shown by the fact that, though he is a
strong Wilson supporter, he has been one OF the
two Bourbon senators who have stood out
against rushing the currency bill through Con-
gress. O'Gorman conceded that probably it is
good bill, but he doesn't believe important legls-
lation of that sort should be railroaded. II
o'Gorman succeeds Murphy, the discreditable al
lance between Tammany and graft will end in
New York City.
