community farms to the nearest sta
ton and make rural life more
profitable, comfortable and pleas
urable; and it is obvious that
the representatives of the people
in congress are like minded. For in
making their appropriation they stipu-
lated that it should be used in improv-
ing the condition of post roads with a
view to the economy and efficiency Of
postal delivery and for the transpor-
tation of farm products to the market.
Such roads are equally essential to the
establishment and operation Of decent
elementary and secondary schools for
the benefit of the country boys and
girls. do not eliminate other things
for consideration and l do not under
estimate the rights and pleasures Of
the Automobiles and the service they
have rendered in the propaganda for
road building.
There are complex problems to be
solved in many states before the most
efficient expenditure Of money by
states and communities for roads can
be secured, and these are many more
to be worked out before one can ra.
tionally expect the federal govern
ment largely to participate. Who
shall say how aid should be appor.
toned SO that the states may receive
equitable treatment? Shall 1t be ap.
portioned equally among the states on
the basis Of total population, farm
population, area, taxable valuation,

federal money be expended exclusive.

HAWAII COUNTY's DUTY

Hawaii county's financial affairs are to be
audited by order of the senate hold-Over ways
and means committee and some of the present
uncertainties as to the state of affairs on the
Big Island will be cleared up The employment
of firm of accountants of recognized standing
assures the impartiality of the investigation.
The retiring supervisors of Hawaii county ex-
pressly INDICATED their approval of the senate
committees plan and the territory looks to the
new board which went into office yesterday to
place no obstacles in the way of rapid and
thorough investigation. Irregularities have al,
ready been proved against one trusted official
and until probe such as has been ordered is
completed, other officials are sure to be the vie
tins of gossip and suspicion. At the same time,
there has been altogether too much loose criti-
cism of Hawaii county by other counties and
other communities. Men are presumed innocent
until they are proved guilty, so We shall await
the facts before cOndemning other officials.

TAFrs PLAN OF CABINET CONGRESSMAN

President Tafts recent message to Congress
urged d measure that received little attention
when the message was presented, buried as it
was in the midst of matter more popularity APP
pealng but which since then has forced itself to
the notice of statesmen and publicists all over
the country. In brief, the president recon-
mends that change be made in the law that
members of the cabinet may have seats, though
not votes, i'm both houses of Congress.
Mr.. Taft says that present indirect methods
of communication between Congress and the cab
met would he done away with, business facli,
tated, a better understanding of work under way
and plans for the future he brought about and
the cabinet take more personal part in lcgisla-
tion.
The recommendation has been received with
very general approval, and probably is one of the
forward steps that will he taken in the next four
or eight years. OF course it was at once pointed
out that the plan is no new one, most cabinet Of
ficers i'm other countries having seats in the leg
islatiye bodies. The present method has had
comparatively few drawbacks. but as govern
mental structures are becoming mere and moro
simpified, the mere fact that present method
is fairly satisfactory is no argument against the
adoption of an easier and more direct plan
which has proved more satisfactory elsewhere.

JUVENILE DETENTION HONE lMPERATIVELY

iicnlarly timely in view Of the early meeting of
Tho territorial legislature
TO make provision for such a home is one of
the legislatures paramount duties this year. 1t
is duty that must not be overlooked aud can
not be shirked The house and senate commit
tees on finance must find way to- get funds for
such home. 1t is an imperative necessity.
Judge Whitney thus suecihetly puts the case
in his recommendations
This community u.s. above any other community
Of which have heard. fortunate in the generosity

The Humane Society and other splendid or
CARNATIONS here will hack a bill to be presented
TO the next legislature calling for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for a detention home such as
Judge Whitney recommends. 1t is not a large
sum to ask, and we bespeak now the careful at
tention of the elected legislators on behalf of a
measure of noble aim and practical method.
