Consul Denies Alleged Scare
Those Who Left Did So On

Washington, D. C.-State depart
ment officials said Monday that lack of
funds that could be legally applied to
such a purpose made it imperative
that the department decline to defray
the expense of returning to Yaqui val
ley, Sonora, the American refugees
who recently arrived at Los Angeles
with complaints that they had bsea
scared away from their homes and
property by President Wilson's warn
ing to leave Mexico.
1t was pointed out that the money
recently appropriated by congress was
for the express purpose of bringing
refugees out of Mexico, and could not
be diverted to sending malcontents
back. Furthermore, the opinion was
expressed that the petition asking
that the refugees be returned repre-
scented only minority of the party.
Already more than so of the refugees
have sought their former homes in the
United States, while others in indi-
gent circumstances are accepting re-
lief from the Red Cross agent at San
Diego.

MORE PosroFFlcE Kicks

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: ! agree most emphatically with
"A. w. W." who has communication
in last nights Star-Bulletin regarding
the facilities or the lack of the same
in the local postoffice, and other con-
ditions ever present that make 1t
place to be dreaded by those who are
compelled to transact postal business
there.
There seems to be an utter lack OF
energy on the part of someone
clothed with postal authority to keep
up with the times or even to lag
little ways behind, which is generally
the case with everything that Uncle
Sam has to do with in the way of
public utilities 1t would seem that
Honolulu and Hilo are trying to see
which can hold on to its prehistoric
postoffice methods the longest, and
the public be blowed.
1t has been voiced time and again
in these columns of the. very short
treatment and still shorter answers
patrons of the local postoffice have
received when they have desired q
little help in some postal matter that
was outside of asking for their mail:
a notable case happened only a short
time ago when the. complainant
claimed that he was handed more
than short answer" by the post
office employees when he was trying
to locate piece of mail matter After
an investigation the postmaster
stated that he could fine no evidence
of the applicant being abused or even
being given short answer, Still.
i will wager that more people be-
lieyed the complainant than did the
report of the postmaster
Judging from some 81 my own ex.
Hperiences, some of the employees of
the local postoffice seem to be of the
opinion that the Creators overcoat

a DEFENSE OF THE posToFFlcE
Manoa, March 81. 1913,

Manoa, March %, 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-The letter of A. w. w. con-
corning the refusal of the local postal
authorities to grant mail delivery to
Manoa deserves a reply. Knowing
that in the States mail is brought
daily to and from even the remote
rural districts, the Manoaite may well
feel some Impotence with regulations
that compel the resident of a we'll
populated district of Hawaii's capital
to travel to post Office three miles
distant; and this impatience is not
lessened when on arrival at the office
he finds himself Obliged to take a
place at the foot of one of two long
lines served only by one clerk. He
doessn grow in good humor, either,
when he finds that his papers and
magazines are not yet ready for dis
tribution, for the general delivery
mail is always the last to be sorted,
nor does he find any solace in the un-
expected presence of special deliv-
cry letter that has reposed in the Of
fee since shortly after the last pre-
ceding mail boat. A.W. w. is right;
such conditions do not speak well for
Honolulu.
Yet, strongly as sympathize with
him, L am not ready to agree that
blame should be placed upon the local
POSTAL authorities. Asa Manoaite who
has sought for some time to obtain
an extension of mail service to the

And right in that last sentence there is point
ed cut the vital reason why the Legislature of

The senate hold-over committee is now at
work, We believe, on plans for such a system. 1t
is said that the bank examiners duties will in
clude some auditing But will this go far
enough? The report from which the above quo
tations are taken plainly shows the wisdom of a
system that will audit the auditors books as well
as those of other territorial and county depart
ments. This fact is well recognized by the Audit
company, which, in its report, says:
"On account of the great Importance attach
ing to the office of auditor, we recommend that
the auditors for the various counties be appoint
ed by the governor, or that a general auditing
bureau be created
The appointing of auditors is not course
that under ordinary circumstances should be fa-
vorel. A far better plan would be to fix the
bonds of auditors and treasurers so high that
none but men of known probity, character and
ability could be elected, and to surround these
men with every safeguard of model auditing
The appearance of the bill amending the pres
|ent system will be watched with interest. That
"a separate bureau or department of accounts
should be created, pass on the accounts of all
territorial and county departments, seems to be
the best solution yet suggested.

The NEXT sltP.,BETFER auDITIBG SYSTEM

The fight for complete and slntra,Emeled in
yestigation of Hawaii eountys financial tanglea
was won, so far as action in the legislature is
concerned, when the lower honse passed the Sen
ate Bill 7S yesterday afternoon
1t was hard fight, a hot fight, The Star
Bulletin, while CONSISTENCY supporting the SEN
ate bill and arguing against serious amendment
Of it, is not among those who captionsly criticise
the seven representatives who finally voted
against the bill In common with the great ma
iority of the people, we give these gentlemen
credit for sincerity in their attitude for belief
that the bill should be amended. DR.. Twins
amendments were presented, we are disposed to
believe in good faith But the emergencies of
the situation seemed to demand speedy action on
the bill, and, taking into account all consdera
lions, this paper feels that the house did wise
thing in passing the bill virtually as it came from
the senate and thereby checking possible dis
agreement with the upper house.
There should not be any bitterness among the
factions that fought with such lively interest yes
terday. For the work of Strengthening out coun-
ty financial affairs has just begun, and it is a
work in which is needed all the intelligence and
determination shown on both sides in the late
hattie OF WlJS ana forces. Ibis WORK MesiHS re-
construction Of the financial systems of all the
counties Honolulu as well as Hawaii. 1t
means reconstruction of some phases of the ter

tanned is that of complete cooperation between
territorial and county government in a model
system of bookkeeping and handling of funds.
Few businessmen of this territory, We venture
TO say, realize the laxity, the lack of business
system. with which Hawaii county affairs have
been carried on. The Audit Company of Hawaii,
n its report to the senate hold-over committee,
said:
sAs the auditor does not appear to be responsible

1t has been quite aptly commented that one
of the reasons why Hawaii should have public
utilities commission is to exercise sort of benef-
icent and paternal supervision of public service
corporations here and see that they live up to the
requirements of their charters The mere fact
that these charters were conferred by Congress
and the powers lie outside territorial control does
not necessarily mean that no supervision is need
ed. Indeed, the very fact of a control so re
mote as Washington is apt to breed some laxity
in living up to the charter requirements.
