the important matter of transporta-
ton facilities for long period for a
mess of pottage. The company nat
urally would try to do the best ii could
for itself and perhaps did not realize
fully all that the bill might mean to
the city, and doubtless those who we're
pushing the matter and who are
among our most public-spirited citi-
zeIs felt that whatever powers might
be9given 20 them would not be abused
by them. On the other hand, the leg
islature could not have realized all
that the bill meant, or 1t would not
have passed it, and that is not sur
prising because the bill looked COM
paratiyely innocent on it's face and its
full meaning could not be appreciated
without careful analysis not only of
that bill but of the original act which
granted the franchise.
There is scarcely any subject of
greater importance to the future
growth and welfare of the city or for
the convenience Of its people than that
of good and ample transportation fa-
cilities throughout the city by means
of street railways. Hence legislation
upon this subject should be approach
ed with the greatest care
Public Must Stand for Right.
1T is immaterial that the company
has thus far given good public service
and that those in control of it are high
minded men, That may be reason
why the public should not exercise its
whip-hand, but il Is not reason why
1t should surrender its whip-hand or,
In so far as it has surrendered It,
should extend the surrender for sew
eral additional decades. So long as
the company does its duty, it should
be given every reasonable considera-
ton by the public and be treated well
by it. But no sensible community
would knowingly place itself irrevo-
cably for long period within the
power of a despot, however beneficent
or benevolent that despot might be for
the time being. The desire for gain
is apt sooner or later to dull the
sense of duty to serve. Experience
shows that all too often the owners of
public utilities, however well-inten-
toned they may be, are prone to look
upon their business in too large de-
gree as of private nature Nor can
the public know how soon such a pub
lie utility may pass into other hands
through gradual changes in the stock
holders or by sale perhaps to a main
land or European company, whose in
terest would be in the dividends rather
than in the public service, as in the
case of the former London-controlled
tramway company The present COM
pany, indeed, has already shown a
disposition to assert itself. for its own
interests as against the public inter=
ests whenever it thought it had a
chance, as in the time-schedule, trans
fer and paving cases. The only safe

FREAR TALKS PLAINLY

The governor. when asked If he
would explain in untechnical language
the differences between the two bills
and the reasons for them, dictated the
following:

company is, / understand, although

the same, with the exception of one
section, as that which 'pocket-vetoed

ARTESlAN WELL BRINGS
OVER MILLION A DAY

After boring to a depth Of four

struck yesterday afternoon on the site
at Iwifei which was selected some
time ago by the Hawaiian Pineapple
Company for new artesian well The
water is flowing at the rate OF one

twenty-four hours.
The. new well is located directly
opposite the office OF the company at
Iwilei, and the boring, which has in

six weeks, was done by John Nc

Concurrent Resolution Me-
m0riaIizing President
SAYS SHIFT AT PRESENT
WOULD WORK AN INJURY
Points to Fact That Legislature
Is in Session-Upper House
in Short Session

A countermove to the report that
President Wilson was about to ap-
point a successor of Governor Frear
flashed into being in the senate this
morning when Senator r. H. Makekau
surprised the solons by introducing
a concurrent resolution to be dis
patched to Washington, praying that
President Wilson make no change in
the chief executives office during the
present session of the legislature.
The move made by Senator Make
kau, who is a Democrat, was unex.
pected, yet the solons, questioned re-
garding their opinion of it, replied Ia
favor of the resolution. Before def
motion of the introducer it was put
over until tomorrow when copies of 1t
are to be given the members.
The resolution recites that where
as by order Of former President Taft.
Governor Frear was appointed TO the
position of chief executive, and that
to remove him at this time, that Is
white the legislature Is in session, an
injury would be done the territory,
the senate, and the house concurring,
asks that Governor Frear retain offics
until the expiration of the legislative
period.

or, and It's provisions are recognized
rs the administration attitude on the
important question Of new form of
franchise for the Honolulu Rapid
Transit and Land Company
In, q lengthy interview dictated for
the Star-Bulletin by the governor, Mr..
Frear sets forth his attitude fully sand
emphatically. The grounds for his op-
position to the first bill are made
quite clear in unmistakable language,
and simultaneously he makes clear the
kind Of terms that he considers fair
both to the public and to the Rapid
Transit company. In response to a
query as to his attitude on the pay
ment to the public by the company and
on the plan for taking over the sys-
tenn from the company, he gave out
the interview this morning.
The bill introduced by Judd yester-
day will probably come up for its sec
ond reading and assignment to COM
mittee upon the return of the senators
from Hilo, upon which trip they will
leave tomorrow or Saturday.
Senator Chillingworth this morning
reiterated what he said in introducing
the first bill. that he introduced it by
request OFFS constituent, but he makes
II plain that his introduction of the
measure does not mean that he will
necessarily stand sponsor for il.

Thus, if property owners have af.
