MEANS YOU, MAYBE

MR.. BRYCE, in his remarkable work on
our American institutions, says that The
great stumbling block in the way of hon
est and efficient popular government is
the individual voters failure to realize
his individual responsibility for political
conditions" This Just criticism is
strongly recalled to our memory by the
light vote polled in this county on Tues
day las,. Look at the many, many voters
who did not take the time and trouble to
go to the election and were thereby dere-
lict to their duty as good citizens.

FRONTAGE TAX
TALK At THE
SUPERVISORS

Frontage tax" was the watch wcrd
at the meeting OF the city fathers
last night. Deputy City and County
Attorney Milyerton decided that the
board is entitled to secure the SER
vices of an outside attorney and draw
tup law providing for the levying
of a frontage tax, and the board also
decided that ii would confer over the
matter with committees of the mer-
chants association and the chamber
of commerce Hope was expressed
that the supervisors and the legisla-
ture might get together on the matter
before any active steps were taken.
Ed Towse, who was the only citizen
in the audience, informed them of the
action of the commercial bodies, and
said he hoped that the legislative COM
mittee of the supervisors would get IN
touch with the other committees. He
appeared surprised that the super
visors, who are the most intimately
concerned in such measure, because
of their relationship to the people.
had not been consulted. 1t was de-
cided that, despite the fact that it had
been ignored so far, the legislative
committee of the supervisors would
seek conference with the other COM
mittees.
The presentation of another petition
signed by fifty Hawaiians asking for
the reinstatement of Doctor Moore as
assistant city physician, brought out
the fact that although Doctor Moore
has not been in office since the new
board assumed control, the Hawaiians
persist in going to him with their all
ments.
A bill was received from the city
engineer calling for $3.50 for work
done in preparing the site for the fire
house at Kaimuki.
The supervisors passed the resolu-
ton calling for the amount, on the
first reading, but decided to investi-
gate the situation before proceeding
further with the work.

Thieves INVADE
COUNTRY Club

Some course-mannered persons in
vaded the classic precincts of Oahu
Country Club OH Monday night, ran
saeking the premises presumably in
search of hidden streasure, or the lat.
est golf scores, and before taking their
departure secured SALT in cash and
some cancelled postage stamps, after
completely wrecking a two hundred
dollar cash register, maintained in a
small apartment to keep tab on the
ebb and flow of conyivial inspiration.
The attempt to loot the storm cen
ter of Honolulu's social activity and
whirl has been quietly bruited abou;
until the determination was reached
that police assistance might well be
employed In the attempt to run the
miscreant to earth.
One OF the chief matters 20 invite
the attention of big Chief" Arthur
McDuffie of the local detective de
partment upon his return from Japan
was request that corps of trained
sleuths be sent out to get line o.
the individual who dared force his
unwelcome presence within the club
house, and thereby succeeded in de
molishing the cash register and fitch
ing its store of wealth.
McDuffy was assured this morning
that a neat little collection of "chits,
or /. o. Us bearing the signatures oil
local frequenters of the resort had no;
been molested, thereby relieving to
great extent the intense anxiety man
ifested by the interested parties who
might hav had occasion to shudder al
the possibility of paper bearing their
signature falling into dishonest hands
Indications point to the fact thai
Honolulu's exclusive club premises
was entered at an early hour of the
morning. The house committee faces
the proposition of purchasing new
tabulator and money receptacle, and
it's a safe bet that in future the regis
ter will never be closed though the
funds may be removed to place oil
greater safety.

file believes that he has a clew to the
intruder.

ATTACK ON
SOCIAL EVIL
HERE j. i

With view TO Kidding the city of
the so-called social evil conditions
which low prevail in Honolulu, n
number of local business men and so
cial workers who are interested in
the work of the Palama Settlement.
and who have been making an exhaus-
tive investigation of these conditions,
met at the settlement last evening and
listened to the reading of the final
reports presented by the inyestiga-
tors. t*. ...>... 49, H."
For some months past this commit
tee has been hard at work digging into
the dep his of the social evil question,
and meetings have been held from
time to time for the planning of a
broader scope of work. AS it is I'M
derstood, the work has been comp!et-
ed, and the reports which were read
last evening will be merged into one
final report witch will be used in
wiping out the conditions which are
now known to exis. Another meeting
is being planned to be held some time
in the near future, at which time the
final report will be presented and def
mite action taken.
I'VE will not try to make any
changes in the legislation, nor take
any definite action toward lettering
the conditions, until we become per-
fectly sure that these conditions, ex-
list, said member of the committee
this morning. "Our plan now Is to get
at the bottom of the question and
gather in all facts regarding the con-
dition Of the so-ealled social evil. We
will then go ahead and decide what
will be necessary to change the pres
ent conditions. believe that we have
secured all available data and it will
be at the next meeting that the plans
of the final action will be discussed"
