WORKING OVER
DELEGATE Plan
Party Leaders Discussing Best Way to
Make the Delegate Plan to
National Convention
Satisfactory.
SUBMIT THREE PLANS
One to Reduce the Republican Vote
From the South and to Increase
the Representation From
the North.
SUBMIT THREE PLANS
Especial to The Gate CITY.

t>DESStSh W lie SJdLe SlIy. II
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. IL
Three tentative plans for the appor-
Torment of delegates to the republi-
can national convention have been
submitted to the republican congress
slonals committee appointed to consid-
er this matter, and one plan has been
offered by an Iowa representative who
asked that his name be withheld.
Copies of the Champion committee
plans have been furnished to the
press with the statement that the con.
gressional committee has no inten-
ton of assuming any of the preroga-
tives of the national committee, but
simply has prepared this data for the
study and consideration of members
of the republican party.
In all of these plans, the apportion-
ment of delegates is based Upon the
vote cast for William Howard Taft in.
1908. Taft's ~a'a in Iowa that year
was 275,21o.
The end proposed in every one of
these plans is either the reduction of
southern representation or else an
increase in the representation from
states which have large republican
vote
The plan which seems to meet with
most favor with republicans in con
|gress is that which would give four
delegates at large to every state and,
lin addition thereto, one delegate for
Eevery 10000 votes or major fraction
thereof cast for the republican candi-
date for president in 1908.
The adoption of this plan would
have the effect of increasing the rep
iresentation in the convention of states
which cast large republican vote
and CT cutting down the number of
delegates from the states where the
republican vote is small.
Under the present plan of appor-
| ticnment, Iowa is entitled to twenty
six delegates in the onventton-two
Ito every congressional district and
| four delegates at large. Under the
plan. proposed, Iowa would have thirty
two delegates. New York, which in
1908 cast S70,o7o votes for Taft.
would, under the plan proposed. be
ientitIed to ninety-one delegates; 1t
now is entitled to ninety. Pennsyl-
wanna would be entitled to seventy
nine; it now is entitled to seventy-six.
Illinois would be entitled TO sixty
seven; 1t now is entitled to fifty-eight.
Indiana would have thirty-eight, in
stead of thirty, as at present.
4 The representation from the south
Icrn states, where the republican vote
is negligible, would be greatly re-
duced Alabama in 1908 cast 25,30S
votes for Taft. Under the favorite
rlan proposed, Alabama would be en-
titled to its four delegates at large
and three additional delegates, seven

OF seafaring men who have examined

The instrument. which works only
at night, reflects on mirror NOV

from 10 to- 8; Georgia, from % to S;

The Iowa congressman plan is as
follows:
Four delegates at large for every
state and in addition thereto, one
delegate from every congressional
district where 25 per cent of the total
vote cast was for the republican can
didate for president and two dele
gates where so per cent of the vote
oe the district was for the republican
candidate for president.
The effect of this plan would be to
decrease the vote in the electoral col
lege and to place premium upon
political activity Only few of the
southern states would be entitled to
any more delegates than the four
delegates at large.
The feeling is growing in Washing
ton that the national committee at
Its meeting to be held December 16
in Washington, will itself take action
with regard to changing the appor-
tionment of delegates, rather than
call convention to make the change.

rarty say the committee undoubtedly
has the power to issue the convention

Must Use Local Assessment Plan
1t is not feasible to open up a sys-
tenn of needed main highways except
by the principle of local assessment
One, however, has to be convinced first
|of the crying necessity of such high
ways for health, sanitary, civic and
military reasons and has to have
faith in Honolulu and vision of the
future before he can become an adj
vocate of this principle. The law may
not be a perfect law. Let us try it and
see. Amendment may be necessary.
Every such law has to be tested in
the courts. This law will be. The ap-
.plication of this new principle may
cause hardships in certain cases. This
is true of every step forward in civic
affairs. For instance, the enforcement
of health measures, vital to the life of
the community, is continuous in
fTingement on personal and private
rights. The ideal of the greatest good
to the greatest number must prevail.
Z Nevertheless / do not expect TO see
the city fathers apply this new prin-
ciple and open these streets until a
public opinion is created on the sub
ject. That is my excuse for hammer
ing away on this point before you to-
night, that you may be convinced of
Honolulu's necessity and go forth as
advocates of this principle.

Upon the general laxity of county

say il is not possible. The pres.
ent scheme must stop, for there Is not
enough money to allow us to go on
this way unless we want streets and
nothing else.
How the New Laws Operate.
The entire amount necessary to pay
the condemnation judgment when
new streets are to be opened up or
existing streets are TO be widened
must be borne by the owners of the
property directly benefited by the
improvement, not by the municipal
treasury. Under Act 81 of the stat
utes of 1913, this can now be done,
the only Limitation being as pointed
out by Chief Justice Robertson in the
case of Brown vs. Campbell, 81 Ha.
wall 314, that the assessment shall
not exceed the value of the special
benefits. This case decided last year,
construed the insanitary land act Of
1911 and states the principles sur.
rounding local assessments.
Note what / say, the act provides
means of raising money to pay the
condemnation judgment. 1t is con-
ceiyable that as the result of con-
dennation proceeding, no money dam
ages may be payable. The jury may
find that the land, a part of which is
taken for the street, is benefited more
than it is damaged by the opening Of
the street. In such case act 81 need
not be invoked.
The law is equitable. In most cases
the payments will be made by those
persons whose property by the open
ing of the street has been changed in
character from agricultural land
worth $500 per acre to residence
property worth SI400 per acre, or from
back property taxed at so many cents
per foot to frontage properly taxed at
so many dollars pei, foot. 1t is not
equitable that the public should pay
for the improvement which adds such
values to private property. The law
gives the property owner the option
of paying his share in 10 annual in
stallments .@
