is worse than useless.
Whenever the people of Hawaii get

works officials, who have to deal with
uncertainties in the nature of ma
terials, transportation facilities, ques-
tiorable labor, etc.-who will not
make errors and especially at the
very meagre salaries offered-they
are riding to rude awakening.
Wake up, you people of Hawaii.

ton that President Taft has advocated for a
long time.
The Outlook, now regarded almost as the Pro
gressiye mouthpiece and whose editorials are
certainly inspired largely by Mr.. Roosevelt, de
votes large part Of its last issue to the subject
of the tariff. A lengthy article takes up first
the appearance of President Wilson before con
gress with his message, secondly the Underwood
bill, then the income tax and finally a poll Of
the press on the proposed tariff. Editorially the
Outlook sets forth its own views in brief as fol
lows, taking direct issue with the Underwood
idea Of a competitive tariff
The tariff has in the past been too much a pro-
ducers tariff We think the country as whole will
welcome the Democratic plan to take into consider
alton the interests of the consumers The tariff has
been too much tariff Of governmental benefits
ferred too little tariff Of governmental regulation
administered. We think that it is wholesome ten
dency, apparent in the tariff bill as interpreted
by President Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, to require
OF industry good behavior in return for the protec
ton inevitably incidental in any tariff levied
Such regulation. however, as is needed in this
day Of great business combinations will not, we be-
leye. about through any effort to restore
petition-wheher that effort exerted through anti
trust statutes through the disciplinary effect Of
change in tariff rates 1t will come only when we
apply to industry the principle that has been applied
successfully in the regulation of railways Instead
of leaving this regulation to the operation of
called economic laws" the government should
frankly assume 1t through the establishment of
administrative commission
The time has gone by when civil liberty can be
preserved by being ntrused to checks and balances
between the branches of civil government The time
has likewise gone by when industrial liberty be
preserved by being Entrusted to checks and balances
between economic laws No economic law shows any
regard for child labor, any mercy for the
worked mother in the tenement any consideration for
the human drift produced in the wreckage Of mod
industry. With the growth of political liberty
there has gone development of political authority
With the growth of Industrial liberty there must
likewise develop authority industry.
If the tariff is to be used regulatye instru-
ment, 1t should be administered b. an expert tariff
commission, clothed with authority to investigate
conditions and apply to individual the rules
established by legislation. Under such q commits
sion any industry used the benefits conferred by
the tariff in order to monopoly, to distrib
ute unfairly the fruit Of production, to keep in
subsection the mass of its workers. to play fast
and loose with those who invest in its securities, the
power of the government could be directly invoked
