Comprehensive
Good Road Bill
REPRESENTATIVE MOSS INTRO
DUCEs MEASURE OF MUCH
INTEREST IN HOUSE.
(Charles Brooks Smith,

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec. IT,
Judge Hunter II. Moss, Jr., repre-
stnting the Fourth district of West
Virginia, introduced in the house
probably the most comprehensive fed
eral road bill that has yet been in
:roducel. 1t declares that all roads
used fer the purpose of transporting
.ural mail shall be postroads within
,he meaning Of the act. 1t estab-
fishes Bureau Of Public Postroads,
% be composed of three commission.
RS. the head commissioner to be aa
,fficer OF the Engineer Corps Of the
United States army, on the active
list, not below the rank Of captain
who shall receive salary Of $1,000
per annum. The second commission
or to be the Director OF Public Roads
Of tile department Of. agriculture; the
third engineer, who shall have Iprac-
teal cxpcriencenand.. knowledge in
road construction, 10 be appointed by
the other two commissioners, and to
receive "a salary OF $4,O0e'tper an
nun; that said bureau shall co-opc-
rate with the various states and Ter
ritorics in road development. 70
Judge Moss has made poStroads
the basic foundation, for his bill. be-
cause the constitution expressly
gives congress supervision over post
roads, and the constitutionalty OF
the bill, therefore cannot be qucs'
toned. At the same time, it is rccoS
nizcd that postrOads, under the bill
cover practically all the country
roads that now exist. II the bill be-
comes a law. II will be Of especial
benefit to states like West Virginia,
where the mileage Of brick and mac
adam road is very small, and the
main need is an Improvement Of the
condition OF dirt roads, which IN SOM
sections is exceedingly bad.
MIR. Moss also introduced bill d.
rccLing the secretary of war to tnv""-
,igatc and report to congress at the
earliest possible time the deslrabiIity
Establishing wireless telegraph stat
tichs along the OHIO river, to BE- Of
use in time of floods. Hc has Iia!!
this up with various departments
but4t has not progressed as fast SHED
desires. !

Governor G. R. Carter
Mr. Wickersham began with an
apology for being late, saying he had
just come from being delightfully."- en-
tertained by "an enthusiastic gentle
man" at the Bishop Museum. He
wanted to know il it would be out Of
place to give his talk before eating,
and told a humorous story in point.
From this introduction Mr.. Wicker.
sham dfved back into history for the
origin of all the mercantile, financial
and industrial combinations of the
present. day, which he found in the
trade guilds of England. He believed
in the legitimate organization OF in
terests having common objects, and
he thought that in the present circum-
stances it would be a good thing If
the sugar producers of Hawaii and the
mainland were united for mutual pro-
lection against threatened legislation
that might cripple the American sugar
industry :. .-~..
Mir. Wickersham declared himself
as being opposed to any considerable
reduction OF the duty on sugar, which
was entitled TO reasonable protection
equally with any other American in
dusry.
Reverting to his recent official ca
reer, Mr.. Wickersham said that one
of the achievements of his depart
ment. which had given him the great
est satisfaction was the conviction
and sentencing OF the twenty or
thirty persons who had made war on
the community with dynamite for
the purpose OF gaining ends that
might in themselves have been PET
feCtly just. 1t WIS most regrettabie

munity at San Francisco and else

mics of society to their homes, thus
raising them to the distinction of
martyrs when they should have been
regarded as malefactors.
, 1t was only through argument and
patience, however. that these mis-
guided people could be led to realize
that the rights of any class were not
to lie secured by outrageS committed
against law and order. There was
not the natural difference between
the interests of capital and labor
which too many people assumed to be
the case There should be co-opera-
ton between capital and labor, to

A three-hour session of prominent
members OF the Merchants Associa-
ton yesterday, conferences last even
ing and this morning between the
governor, Richards Iyers, represent
ing the Rapid Transit company, and
Attorney Charles r. Hemenway, rep-
resenting the merchants, and MEM
bers OF the association also, have IL
nally developed compromise plan
for the Rapid Transit franchise ex-

The Merchants Association COM
mittee, consisting OF Il. j. Church and

or and Mr.. Iyers this afternoon to dis
cuss the details of the plan. The Mer-
chants. Association is taking the ini-

difficulties, and this afternoon it looks

carried out to a successful settlement
of the details Of the franchise.
Attorney Hemenway attended the
public hearing last night prepared to
make a statement for the association
if called upon to do SO, but did net
have. the opportunity to present what
the association had reached as a ten
fafiye basis OF procedure in its. meet
ing earlier In the day.
While the discussion of details is
still in progress, members of the as
sociation today did not wish to dis
cuss the results of yesterday meeting
nor what they favor as a general ba-'
sis of valuation of the system upon
which to discuss franchise terms. They
say frankly, however, that their fig
ures are not far apart from the gov
ernor's. Some figures compiled by
Mr.. Ivers and referred to at the pub
lie. hearing last Friday night have, it
is understood, been considered by the
association. with the result that the
committee considers compromise
somewhere between Mr.. Ivers' figures
and the governors figures as fair to
the company and the public.
Members Of the association talked
with Mr.. Ivers last evening and after
the hearing last night Mr.. Ivers and
the governor talked briefly together.
The conference this afternoon with
the governor was arranged this
morning.

GOV. COX CABLES
Ohio NEEDS ALL
POSSIBLE FUNDS

LOUISVILLE, iSy., April 2.-Torn
to pieces by the floods, big ware
house here was washed from its foun-
dat.ons today and five thousand bar
rels Of whisky were released and
tloated off down the river.
,rhe first direct word from stricken
Ohio since Hawaii began forwarding
relief funds came to the relief fund
committee today from Governor
James Nj Cox of the Buckeye state.
Yesterday afternoon the commit
tee, talking over the situation and
feeling that Hawaii has come to tha
front generously, decided that the
systematic canvass for subscriptions
would be discontinued though all
subscriptions voluntarily sent to the
committee will be gladly received
However, to ascertain the conditions
in Ohio, q wireless message was sent
to Governor Cox through the Federal
Wireless Telegraph Company, CIV
ing the amount SO far sent, $9,400,
and asking shall we solicit more?"
Today Chairman Westeryelt of the
committee received the following
cabIegram:
Columbus, Ohio, April 2. 1913.
Westervelt, President Buckeye Club,
Honolulu.
Wire received. Thanks Ohio sadly
in need of funds.
JAMES M. cox.
The committee therefore feels that
in the face of the urgent need Ha-
waii should not cease giving. The
members who have been collecting
the funds also feels that the terri
tory has responded readily to the call
for aid, and that a further canvass OF
the communities should be made.
However, in view Of the cablegram
from Governor Cox, the committee
asks all intending subscribers to
hurry their donations in, and asks
also that those who have not con.
tributed consider the desperate cir
cumstances of the many who are
homeless and suffering the do what
they can to help swell Hawaii's fund.

subscriptions to acknowledge since
