duce a resolution in the legislature
memorializing Congress not to reduce
the tariff below the difference in the
cost of production here and in foreign
countries, and let il be understood by
Congress that all Democrats in the
legislature voted for it. a Democratic
petition will have greater effect than
one coming from the planters and the
high protectionists,

w. o. SMITH-Instead of shutting
down altogether on irrigation in GER
tain sections, | should think it would
have been wiser plan to have made
the restriction gradual. Thus prob
ably the total deprivation might have
been avoided. For instance, as scare
ity developed, the reduction could
have been made by cutting down the
time to one hour, morning and even
ing, each, and from that, if the neces-
sity increased, to one hour a day.
This plan can be followed in restor-
ing the ordinary privileges of irriga-
ton. AS the supply gradually in
creases, begin with one hour a day,
then allow two hours and finally the
full measure. 1t is a serious matter
to stop irrigation altogether, as has
been done in some parts of the city
causing the loss of valuable trees and
plants, the spelling of plants and the
reduction of large areas to desert.

For months past the club has made
every attempt to secure improvements
In the Palama community which are

of the residents of that district. and
thus far very little has been accom-
rlished. At the meeting THURSDAY

UcStigqtioR, but to ,cork trith the commissions
The argument that their work would clash is
false and it is being used in desperate efforts to
block the investigation. The commission is nee
cssary i'm order to go into the situation fully.
The jury can sit only in the fourth circuit The
commission can sit anywhere at any time; it
can call witnesses before it or go after the wit
nesses; it can journey over the island of Hawaii
or over the territory if necessary
Moreover, the grand jury has no facilities for
a thorough auditing of Hawaii county accounts
since the beginning of county government, and
that kind of an audit is the only kind that will
tell all the facts about this illegal of the tax
payers money.
The commission will not use its powers un-
fairly. That much ought to be recognized from
the start The commission does not start out
primarily to investigate alleged crime, as Crane
Jury does, but to investigate financial tangle.
1t will have broad discretionary powers, but
will not abuse them. Any argument that the
commission will unduly interfere with the car
rying on of a business at Hilo, for instance,
means nothing but another plan to block the in
vestigation
The commission, as stated explicitly in Sen
ate Bill rs, which provides for it, is. to report
from time to time it's findings. Where indict-
ments should follow, the reports will go to the
grand jury, and it is to have this grand jury
ready that the attorney general and Judge Par
sons have acted.
The bill should pass the House unamended.
Any serious amendment will emasculate it, will
shear the commission of important and neces-
sary powers. Amendments will open the way for
the stirring up of discord between the senate and
the house.
The senate has passed the bill. Hawaii coun-
ty supervisors have volunteered to assume the
burden of expense. The house must pass the bill
to keep its record clear and clean.
Gentlemen of the house, you cannot afford to
be numbered among those who oppose this meas
ure.
You cannot afford to have your names among
those who are trying to block a complete investi-
CATION of Hawaii county affairs.
complete investigation means that Hawaii
county will benefit, that Honolulu county will
benefit, that Maui county will benefit, that Ka-
uai county will benefit. For We of this territory
will all reap the benefit of honest, impartial, in
telligent, constructive criticism of the county
systems of government We of this territory
have all to learn the lesson of efficiency And
the Hawaii county investigation will lead direct
ly and inevitably to the teaching of this lesson
to all the territory.
The passage of this bill is not move against
Hawaii county-it is move for all the terri
tory.
The bill is up for third reading in the House
tcmorrow-Senate Bill IS.
Pass 1t!
You of the House cannot afford to kill it.
The territory is watching you.

BY w. j. MORGAN.

While the races at Brighton Beach
on Saturday were a success from a
standpoint of attendance. entries,
and keen contest, it is to be regretted
that the management did not give
more attention to the megaphonie
announcements. This part of the
program was a miserable failure.
In the first place the races were
not run in scheduled order and with
one or two added entries, practically
unannounced, it rendered the official
program almost totally useless.
On the other hand the Motor Deal
ers Contest Association comes in for
a great deal of favorable comment
for stimulating such a keen interest
in this annual event. The caste
of drivers was pretty much an All
Star" line up. with Ralph DePaima
playing the leading part. His skill
at the wheel of the Mercer was
marvel and most powerfully DEM
onstrated his superiority as driver,
and also showed the remarkable
development in the building of motor
cars since the days of Seldon's
practical dreams.
The days sport was somewhat
race in which eight giant cars faced
the starter, four of which came to
an abrupt ending in the early part
of the race. Jessap, who piloted the
National Jared the worst, sustaining
a broken arm, along with internal
injuries. His machine skidded and
threw a rear tire. As the tire left
the machine Jessap gave his wheel
quick twist and the car darted
across the track into the infield. Be-
fore he could shut off the power the
mighty National made a few wild
dashes and then INDUCED in a series
of somersaults.
Four times the car turned over.

Just what percentage of such ac-
cidents are due to imperfect opera
ton is problematical, but 1t may at
least be> suggested that the Mercer
cars as whole were carefully

other entrants in Saturdays race
Anyone can drive a car at high
speed on a straight track without
its parts to undue taxa
ton, but it requires more than nerve
to turn a corner at high speed and
to do it at a minimum of pressure.
There is one certainty and that is
the fact that accidents in automo-
bile racing are too frequent, and
more frequent than necessary.
