as Act 50 and the public utilities commission is
now constituted and doing business under it.
The excuse for this short excursion into What
is already ancient history is that public service
and utility commissioners on the mainland, who
have had the opportunity to examine Hawaii's
new law-Act S9-pronounce it good law and
an effective law. This Will probably he disap-
pointing both to those who wished nest for the
sucking dove and to those who, like Senator
MetZger,s declared that the measure finally
passed was puny and half-baked.
After the adjournment of the Legislature
there was some talk that when Democratic
governor was appointed, an extra session should
be called and it's activities should include the
passage of real public utilities bill" The same
talk, emanating, of course, from members of the
Democratic minority, dealt also with the posi-
bility of taking the matter up direct with con-
gress and asking for the enactment of "strong-
er measure" "
If the opinions of mainland commissions are
worth anything, and they ought to be, hacked
by experience Hawaii's law on the subject is
good law and deserves fair and impartial
trial.

NAIL THE MEASUREMENTS

Former Governor Carter points the way for
Hawaii to make an effective campaign during
the next three years for Hawaii sugar industry
He leads the way, also, by answering fully and
emphatieally viciously misleading editorial in
the Baltimore Sun and in conveying some facts
on the Hawaiian sugar industry that bear di-
rectly on the tariff bill and its discussion
Mr.. Carter suggests-and his suggestion will
Instantly be hailed as timely and effective
we of Hawaii make it our personal and indiviG-
ual business to answer misleading statements
that appear in the mainland newspapers
With the exception of a few conspicuous ill.,
stances there is not mainland newspaper that
would not rather be guided by what it knows to
be the truth than by a mistaken policy that the
facts will not sustain. Hawaii will doubtless
find q Few papers that will uphold the Wilson
free sugar administration through thick and thin
and whose columns will not welcome statements
from people in this territory, but such papers
will be, very few. The great majority of the
newspapers and periodicals of the country en-
deavor to be fair, and in this condition lies Ha-
waits hope of appealing to the country at large
for fair play
Mr. Carriers suggestion is that the people of
this territory scan closely the newspapers that
come to them and when misleading editorials or
news articles appear, answer them at once and
FULLY in letters to the editors or the papers
Some of thesesletters may never get to print :;
many of them will; but every letter will do good.
because it will bring the force of personal APP
peal and personal argument into the sanetums
u0f editors who probably are not at all familiar
with the details of the Hawaiian industry
"A misstatement, once printed, grows and
rolls like a travelling SNOWFALL. A prompt nail
ing of the misstatenent will stop its career nine
times out of ten, and nine times out Of ten Ha,
wall will make friend
This is the first concrete suggestion yet made
for the continuance of Hawaii's publicifs cam
paign, and it is one easily carried out. Every
resident of Hawaii should watch closely the
mainland papers and periodicals that come, and
wherever amisstatement is made, write prompt
" to the paper or periodical and enter firm, re-
spectful and Informative protest.

TIE UTILITIES Law PRAISED

Some of the Democratic statesmen in the last
territorial legislature viewed with the darkest
Of forebodngs the passage of the public utilities
bill, known as Act &c. They feared, and took
up considerable time in voicing their fears, that
il was bill without teeth" that it would not
control the corporations, and that it would make
the territory ridiculous Senator Metzger, in
particular. referred often and with heat to the
Tpuny measure of the interests" and OCCASIONAL
" used even more sighting terms in referring to
the bill. OF course, Senator Metzger is recog-
nized as being of the red blooded insurgent type,
and If the senate journal were kept with the de-
tail of the Congressional Record, the gentleman
from Hilo would be found often charging up and
down its pages in denunciation of anything that
remotely resembled corporate activity. But in
this matter of the utilities commission bill he
was particularly rancorous and succeeded in
getting a measure of support from some of his
colleagues.
The Star-Bulletin disagreed with Senator
Metzger at the time and said So The first utili-
ties bills almost literal copies of the lengthy and
involved California law, were plainly impos-
sible. Then came forth an innocent little bill
with all the gentleness of a sucking dove, what
ever that is, and preened itself modestly in front
of the legislature as an "ideaI compromise .
This bill was Immediately recognized as Matched
out by number of gentlemen interested in var
ious corporations who, probably with entire sin.
certify, voiced ttle opinion that Hawaii could
stand no radical legislation on the subject. The
measure not only lacked teeth, but almost every
thing else.
The StartBulletin was among those who felt
that the Legislature could pass great deal bet
ter and stronger bill, and in due process of time
the better and stronger bill was forthcoming,
written largely by Governor Frear. 1t passed

tighten you on the sugar situation that
