(From Saturday Advertiser)
Constructive criticism of methods and
opportunities for promoting great in
terest in Hawaii on the mainland was
made Yesterday afternoon before the
promotion committee by Il. j. Walsh, n
prominent Tacoma wholesale dealer in
iron and railroad supplies, who is spend
| ing the winter here He was preparing
to 90 to California when Walter G.
Smith came to Tacoma and lectured on
the Islands. Mr.. Walsh changed his
| plans and came to Honolulu and pur-
poses, should he retire from active bust
ness, to return here to live He came
here nervous wreck and has been
restored to health, and now swims out
among the breakers off Waikiki with
| the best of the Hawaiian swimmers and
| glories in the climate, which he asserts
cannot be eXcelled in any part of the
world.
When They Get Together.
Mr.. Walsh gave interesting state
monts concerning the present "get-to-
gether" policy of all the Tacoma COM
mercial organizations, there having been
a consolidation of the old board of
trade and chamber of commerce into
the Tacoma Commercial Club, now one
of the livost promotion organizations
along the Coast, working in its own
$250,000 building and having an eX-
pert Mt $4,000 year to direct the ad-
vertsing of Tacoma. He has corps of
assistants in the mailing room as well
as in his office. Mr.. Walsh pointed out
! these features of plentiful help and
funds in contrast to the work being
done by Secretary Wood of the local
\ promotion committee with only two as
sistants He said that Hawaii was be
ing well advertised, but the committee
here needed more money and should
i have Mt least $4,000 to $4,000 yeai
to properly do its work
, Mr.. Walsh told of the raising of the
fund for putting up their building ant
+, then of the campaign for 100000
= fund for promotion work exclusively
= The money was subscribed in a shor
y time and is now invested and available
for advertising Tacoma. IT will be uset
t in less than two years and then new
subscriptions will be campagned for
4 He said there was little difficulty II
raising money among the business firm
n for this purpose, while all firms ar
earnestly back of every effort made b,
q the commercial club.
He urged that Honolulu's city gov
n eminent own as much Of the watcrfron
y property as possible and that all publ
utilities such as waterworks should b
under government control.
A Progressive City.
n Tacoma had commission form of gov
eminent and was now in the hands o
men of integrity. The first years o
the commission form were disastrous
Il but the city had risen above these dis
agreeable experiences and was on tn
81 high road to prosperity. He urge
that the recall percentage be made a
ID high as possible. This was the frs
fault found with Tacoma Is commission
VI government. Voters who ask for re
call of officials should be made TO g
u TO the city hall to register exactly a
D they do TO register their names for tn
VI regular elections.

II would be n good thing TO place you
fire department out of politics entirely
That is n departemnt the businessme

businessmen. II you ever have chic

81 have an efficient FIRE chief who does no
dnbble in politics, then keep him In.
