working girls which has just been
completed at the foot of Robello lane,
will be opened for the first time next
Sunday afternoon when the trustees
of the institution will receive visitors
between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock.
The new home consists of a main
building of two stories and two wings
which enclose a large courtyard. The
plans for the building were donated to
the committee in charge by Architect
Ripley The ground floor of the main
building contains the dining room,
parlor, kitchens and pantries, and is
surrounded by a wide lanai. In the
wings are located the bedrooms, which
are all welI-ventilated and lighted.
Many of the rooms contain two beds
in order that two girls may occupy
one room If they so desire. The rent
for these double rooms will be three
dollars per month. The other rooms,
which contain but one bed, will rent
at four dollars Privileges such as
the laundry and the use of the electric
iron, go with the room-rent. Both the

AFTER BLONDE IsKIA0s

The departure of Capt. vilhjalmar Stefans-
son for the Arctic is awakening the keenest of
interest in the minds of ethnologists and stu
dents of observation-disclosures because of his dis
coyery On a previous trip Of ''blonde Eskimos
on Coronation gulf AS announced from San
Francisco yesterday, Stefansson is sailing in the
Karluk for three years stay in the Arctic.
When he came down from the frozen zone year
ago, he was almost unknown. to the world, but
the announcement of his sensational discovery
has made his name now household word.
Stefanss0n's assertions we're readily accepted
by the scientific world because they bore out OBJ
seryations reported from time to time for the
last $50 years A Dutch seafarer 80 years ago
described race Of white Eskimos ON Coronation
gulf Stefansson claimed to have found several
persons with sandy boards and light eyebrows
and about dozen with blue eyes out of pop
nlation of approximately 1000. The explorer
declares that their skulls are strikingly differ
ent from those of the Alaskan Eskimos and so
far as he knows from those of any pure-blooded
LzSkllnOSs 50 Etf ulScONeFttl he cOHcluueS THAI
the Morse colony in Greenland, founded some
time in the dim past, was never entirely exter-
minated by the Eskimos, but that many escaped
and mingled with the Eskimos, the descendants
now living in Victoria Land and constituting the
blonde race inhabiting that forbidding region.
1t is also interesting to note that Franklin's
expedition in 1924 saw evidences Of this same
hybrid race.
Stefansson's present trip viii doubtless re-
suit in clearing up something of the mystery that
now surrounds this Europeanl race far up in
the Arctic circle, and his return will be watched
for with almost as much interest as if he were
hunting for Pole that was still unreached.

+, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE

- 81 -
Opposition to the workmen's compensation
act as voiced yesterday by attorneys appearing
before the senate judiciary committee seemed to
be based not so much on the principle as upon
the details of Senator Wirtz's measure Never
theless, the opposing attorneys take an attitude
which in effect is against the principle of the bill
for Hawaii at this time
As to the arguments presented, quite natur.
ally they are from the standpoint of the big en-
ployer and the senate committee doubtless real
izes this fact 1t is too bad that some able cham
.pion of workmens compensation act was not
there to present the many good arguments for
its passage by this legislature However, the
Judiciary committee is composed of men of intel
ligence and backbone and the Star Bulletin has
faith in their progressiveness, and believes they
will favor the passage of the bill without too
much emasculation.
The main arguments presented will hardly
stand the test of examination. 1t is urged that
Hawaii is not ready for such an act now. This
is the stock argument of the opponents of pro-
gressive legislation everywhere,-the argument
presented before every legislature that has taken
up the compensation act And the only answer,
the effective answer, is that Hawaii is as ready
now as Hawaii will be two years or four years
hence. For the only way to make progress is to
take the step forward. Hawaii will never be
ready for such an act until Hawaii gets ready,
and getting ready means passing the law and
putting it to the test. Otherwise, how in the
name of common sense is Hawaii to get ready?
The argument that commission should be
appointed to study the question thoroughly for
two years or so and then make report has the
outward semblance of merit, but it looks too
much like move to delay real action to meet
favor with the people. Moreover, there is avail
able very simple and brief uniform workmen's
compensation act upon which a good measure
can be based with a few days'fstudy, and which
has been used in the preparation of the present
senate bill. There is available all the informa

ON
CIT Y PLANS
tonight

The plans for securing for The city
OF Honolulu true municipal gov
eminent" Independent of the terri
tory, which have been formulated By
the committee which was appointed
ty the Palama Improvement Club
some weeks ago to have charge OF
the matter, will be presented to the
tTublic for the first time at a mass
meeting which is to be held at Aala
! Park this evening beginning at
O'Clock. The Hawaiian band will be
in attendance and Chief Justice Rob,
..ertson will be the principal speaker OF
the evening. Former Governor Geo.
r. Carter will preside. - ...
: More than month ago, the Palama
Improvement Club, with the help OF
several other similar organizations,
started a campaign for the cleaning
up of the segregated portion OF the
city. opening new streets, and proVid-
ing in a general way for better light
and a new sewer system. Nothing
ever came of this attempt, and after
several conferences with tn board OF
health, it was decided that these eff
forts on the part Of She club would
never bring results while the city was
1un, under the present government. A
true municipal government was de-
.cided as being the only possible r.
gime under which the necessary. i'm,
provements could be obtained. -.
Therefore. the club appointed a
committee consisting. of Mayor Fern,
John C. Lane, .Lorrifi Andrews, Noah
Aluli and several others to draw up
plans whereby the legislature would
be asked to give the city of Honolulu
a municipal government entirely in
dependent of thu territory. This com.
mittee has now completed its work,
and its findings will be presented to
the people of the city at a massmee
ing to be held at Aala Park at Z
o clock this evening. Here the petit
ton will be presented to the people.
for thir approval, and in case this is
not J forthcoming, another will be
drawn up and presented, and so on
until one Is made which will be favor
ably received. The gist of the petit
ton Is that the people, at general
election, be privileged TO appoint fif-
teen freeholders for the purpose of
drafting any new municipal chartr
which would, perhaps, in time become
s law. The, idea of the petition, how
ever, is more or less a, plan to GEN.
tralize the government powers of
Honolulu. The plans also provide for

diately turn over to the city the water

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

TOM MERLE-If there is any ques.
ton in regard to Honolulu's ability
to stack up with any other city in
the world, along. the lines of, pretty
women and pretty dresses. the ques.
ton is easily settled by standing at
the door of the opera house and
watching the arrivals. 1t is certainly
a very pleasing sight.

ton needed on the subject from the experience
of the states, and commission named would
simply potter along for two years and then make
a report on what can be reported on now in two
weeks 1t is an insult to the intelligence of the
brainy men of Hawaii to think they cannot grasp
4 the principles of wOrkmens compensation in a
short time. "..<=~ +.
Another argument raised is that already the
big business interests voluntarily pay compensa
ton to many sick or disabled wOrkmen and hence
there is no need of such law. This argument we
do net believe can be advanced seriously. If the
business interests are willing to take such action
now, Voluntarily, they are willing not only to pay
compensation but run the added risk of being
defendants in damage suits Under a compensa-
ton law, suits for damages cannot be brought
when the employee is receiving or to receive pay.
ments through the workings of, the law. If the
businessmen of Hawaii are willing TO pay a fair
compensation voluntarily, why should they OBJ
iect to paying d fair compensation under the
law? If they recognize that compensation
should be voluntarily paid to injured laborers
here, why should they oppose the law on the
ground that labor. conditions here do not war
rant it?
An objection raised is that the workmen here
are so careless that the employer is laid open to
unusual liability. This Same argument was
raised in such states as Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey and Micbigan,-in states, moreover, where
several occupations involve more danger than
any occupations in Hawaii.
On behalf of the law, there is>much to be said
along general lines specific benefit to Ha-
wall ought to be that such a law would aid in
checking the present growing emigration to the
Coast on the part.of dissatisfied laborers This
phase ought to be given serious consideration by
the territory.
The principle of this law has been found valid
by such states as California, Illinois, Kansas,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Wis
consin and Washington, states that stand in
the forefront of progress. We believe that the
time has come for Hawaii to strike boldly out for
the kind. of progress that means safety and pro
lection for the people as well as for the employ
ers. Surely in territory boasting of the latest
processes in sugar manufacture, of the greatest
strides in scientific industry Of many kinds,
there is room for the development of humanitar-
ian measures that lift up and safeguard the men
and women who dwell therein!
Woodrow Wilson's inaugural address con-
tanned. these pregnant words: "The firm basis
of government is justice mot pity" They apply
directly to the principles of the measure under
discussion. 1t is the duty of the legislature to
pass this measure and to see that it passes with
out sjokers" that Will emasculate its provisions
and fix a compensation scale so low as to be I'M
fair to the workingpeeple of the territory.
