THE PRINCIPLE OF RORKMENS COMPENSATION
RECOGNIZED

The validity Of The principle of workmen s
compensation fully recognized at the public
hearing on the subject held last night by the sen
ate judiciary committee, and with this point Is
tabished, half the battle is won
Such objections as were raised were Objec-
tions To detail and not to principle and the jrl-
dietary committee will certainly proceed care
fully in its decision on these details.
On the other hand, the spirit with which the
large employers are listening to the proposals
of the bills now before the legislature is an adj
mirable spirit Mr.. Richard Iyers, for instance,
speaking at Chairman Judds request from the
standpoint of a sugar man, declared that the
sugar-planters are not opposed to the general
features Of the Writ bill, which was the draft
under immediate discussion. Mr. Ivers stated
the very point that is one of the great arguments
for the enactment of such law here,-that the
plantations are voluntarily providing what
amounts to a compensation system. The bill,
then, proposes to legalize what is already in ex-
istence,-a compensation system for the benefit
of injured employees and their families.
One employer raised the objection that the
small concern, with comparatively small capital
and little opportunity to build up reserve fund,
disaster Detailing a number of employees. This
objection is applicable only in case the law COM
pels the Individual employer to bear the burden
of compensation. As suggested by the Star Bull
letin yesterday, there are other ways of handling
the compensation fund. One method which is
meeting with some favor is that the fund be
maintained jointly by the employer, the empioye
and the territory each paying into the treasury
fair proportion, the fund to be admin
istered by the territory. The loss in such case
would fall with comparative lightness on small
employer. -rsr~s
The encouraging feature of last nights meet
ing is that the employers recognize the conmu
nifty value OF life and limb and the further eco
nomic value of taking from the shoulders of a
disabled man and his family the burden that
falls upon him when he is injured an incident
to his employment

TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY

y
1t is whispered around legislative halls-so
far no one has said it out loud-that House Bill
119 is to be slaughtered
The date for the Strengthening. is set for to-
morrow, when the bill comes up for third reading
in the House.
House Bill 119 has already been given consid-
cradle space by the Star Bulletin. 1t provides
in brief that revenues derived from water Ii
censes shall constitute and be held as a special
fund to he administered by the board of agricul-
ture and forestry for the protection of forest
ervations and for the development and mainte-
nance of the photographic survey throughout
the territory.
House Bill 121 is a kindred measure, author
izing the board of agriculture and forestry to
create and maintain a division of photography
for the investigation and development of the
water resources of the territory
The only opposition to such obviously benefi-
cial measures as these is and can be that the leg
islators do not feel like spending so much money
on forest and water conservation. They believe
that there are other public needs to which part
of the proceeds Of water license sales should be
applied .....
This is one kind CT economical policy, but it
is false kind Hawaii has suffered and is still
suffering from lack of water, from devastation
of forest areas, from waste of water through the
lack of proper regulation. 1t is estimated that
during the drought of the past year on Kauai,
enough water was wasted to have increased the
value of the sugar output of that island by more
than half million dollars. This is foolish
waste, criminal waste. r.. ..=..
The development and conservation of Ha
waits water resources demand the following OPP
S1tions:
1.-THE maintenance of the forests ever the
heavy rainfall catchment areas to regulate
streams and to prevent erosion. ii
2-The construction and maintenance OF

GETTING TO THE BASIS

That radical changes must be made in the
public utility bills now pending before the leg
islature before any of them can be passed with
safety any assurance that it will be effective,
is quite plain from the public hearing held last
night At the same time, there is NO merit in a
proposal to drop public utility legislation at this
time. The present legislature ought to be able to
agree on simple measure that will offer a fair
degree of supervision and control over rates, will
provide for enforcement of good service rules
and will insure the publicity of operations that
any public utility corporation should give The
bills now pending are too drastic, but they are
serving their purpose in bringing this subject to
a head. The main point to be remembered is
that some body must be established to which
complaints against exorbitant rates or insuffi-
cent service can be referred and the public as
sured of impartial, energetic action.

grains and sand drop through the

sand Is being constantly washed along

Throughout, the work is automatic.
The buckets simply gather up the
