COLLEGE CASE.
Opponents Of Board Of Ed
ucation Plan to Have a
Temporary Investigating
Commission.
IBY ORA, WILLIAMS. !

Des Moines, Feb. 19.-Opponents o.
the state educational institutions have
again revived the plan of avoidance
of a direct show down on the college
controversy by the creation OF com
mission to determine and report on
the whole question of the. scope and
functions of the state university. The
Teachers college and the State col.
lege. There does not seem to be very
much doubt now that If there is in
sistence on a vote of the legislature
condemning the state board OF edu'
cation and ordering reversal Of the
action taken, it will fail, and the be.
lief also is gaining ground that no
matter what is done it will not be a
final settlement.
1t is because of this that the move
ment has been revived for tempo
rary commission of investigations The
house committee on state education
al institutions has before 1t bill
which would create the commission.
II will be put through the lower house
first, since the attitude of the house
is more clear than that of the senate.
The board of education will oppose
the bill
Record Sustains Board.
In the various and sundry lobby dis.
cussions of the college controversy
byp members of the legislature, the
assertion has been frequently made
that the legislature never had in con-
temptation at any time, nor any of the
legislative leaders, that the single
board plan for the state educational
institutions would ever result in d
serious effort to curtail Implications
at the college. Some of the older men,
bers of the senate, whose memories
still serve them we'll, caused to be dug
out of the session reports, evidence
bearing on this question.
They found that there was entered
in the journal of the senate on March
1s. 1904, the following report from the
visiting committee to the state uni
versity, consisting of Hon. Frank L..
Maytag. then chairman of the senate
appropriations committee, and Hon.
Frank F. Jones, chairman of the house

ing member of the state senate; and

CHANGING IDEAS

Governor Frear's signature to the public util.
ity commission bill on Saturday and the plan set
moving by Senator Judd to bring all public sery-
ice corporations here under the jurisdiction of
the commission serve to bring forcibly to atten-
ticn the radical change in Hawaii's methods of
thought.
Five years ago, even two years ago, such bills
could hardly have passed the legislature. They
would probably have been bitterly fought by the
corporations affected. But these corporations
now fully recognize that good commissions are
positive benefits to them. They protect the COR
porations from ebdllitions of public prejudice
and temporary hysteria. They bring the public
and the corporations into closer relation and CO
operation.
This is truly a time of changing ideas The
legislature of 1918 is no more to be congratulate
ed than the businessmen of Hawaii who have
fast and far in their recognition of
the deep interest of the public in semi-public
business =. -...:..... -

FACE The FACTS

The most significant point in all this discus
sion of vice for the legislature of 1913 to think
over is this: @~ ...1
Erery community IN the ,corld that has tried
segregation of rice has failed, and practically
eecry community has admitted its failure, III
cluding the countries of Europe arhcre 1t has
been tried for amounted decades.
The next most significant point is this:
Every commission that has Investigated rice
IN the United States for the past ten gears has
reported unanimously against the principle of
segregation.
And think over this, too, gentlemen of the leg
islature: ~
Since the IorG acknowledgements lac
has been established, 1t has been recognised as
the only honest, straightforward american meth
cd of grappkag tcith commercidlised uice.
1t is this Iowa plan that hundreds of pro-
gressive, earnest, intelligent men and women,
assembled in massmeeting last night, asked the
legislature of 1913 to indorse Senate Bill 1873
carries that plan.
1t should be passed. The old, disreputable,
discredited systems of segregation and regula-
ton have failed. Are veto step backward?

SENATE LEADERS
Combining ON
TARIFF
By c. S. ALBERT

Especial Star-Bulletif Correspondence
/ WASHINGTON, D. G., April -
Free sugar three years hence, with a
% per cent reduction in existing du-
ties during that period, will be fought
to finish in the senate. Determined
efforts are being made to form a coali-
ton between the wool and sugar sena-
tors to prevent the plan arranged by
President Wilson and the ways and
means committee from becoming effec-
tive. 1t will be necessary to secure
the cooperation of seven senators to
make the fight successful. :.......
President Wilson's program was
changed at the last minute. 1t was
his firm intention to Immediately
place sugar on the free list. After
the tariff bill as perfected went to the
government printing office he ordered
modification. The present rate was
then cut % per cent and stipulation
added that three years after the date
en- which the new law takes effect
sugar shall be added to the free list.
The last protest against free sugar,
either Immediately or in the future,
was made directly to the president by
Delegate KaIanianao1e, accompanied
by his counsel, w. A. Kinney. An ap-
pointment was made for hearing by
the president and the Hawaiians were
received at the White House but a
short time before the completed tariff
revision measure was formally INTRO
duced in the house by Representative
Underwood. H..
Stand Is Emphatic.
The delegate and Mr.. Kinney en-
phatically declared that free sugar, or
an approximation would utterly ruin
the industry in Hawaii. They said
the disastrous effect would not be ma
terially Iessened by three years defer.
ment to the blow. There would be
no increase in plantation limits, and
no new ventures during the period OF
grace. I'll. ..>..-.. -. H.

chance to see and hear. ..-
And at last We have a chance, and
at no great cost, to begin with a few

No. one who remembers the joy they

they, one would think, ever think of

So it is evident that these birds

to buy them we will see to it that the
citizens will do SO. -. -. 49,. 49, -.

aliens; but it is freely asserted by aliens who
have visited Japan that the Nipponese govern
ment exacts payments from foreign corporations
that operate to discourage such corporations
from doing business in the empire All of these
arguments have been put forth at Sacramento
during the lively discussion over the bills.
If Japan insists on regarding the bill as a
violation of the treaty. the California legislators
must either modify the measure or look for ref
erence of the subject to the highest international
tribunal. 1t might we'll be taken up there in any
case, to settle once and for all the intricate
questions of treaty rights involved.

but that would be the lowest living
tate. They explained in detail the de-
velcpment of cane growing in Hawaii
and strongly presented the fact that
ii is the leading industry OF the
islands.
The reduction OF % per cent brings
the protection down from S1.90 per
hundred pounds to. $1.47k. This tig-
ure is 5 cents hundred less than
Senator Bristow and the Progressive
experts declare an irreducable mini
mpm. It is 1914 cents per hundred be-
low the figures advocated by the regu-
lar Republicans and which were in
corporated in the sugar bill passed a
year ago, but did not become law
because the change was rejected by
the house.
Republicans TO Unite.
The cut of 25 per cent is certain
to unite the regulars and progressive
Republicans in opposition. They will
be surely joined by the two senator's
from Louisiana. This gives a total
of AZ votes. Shafroth, of Colorado, is
expected to affiliate with this oppo.
sition. He would bring the aggregate
up to 48 votes. Vice-President Mar
shall would still have the casting vote
in favor of free sugar.
