Anyhow, the degree of cost to the city will

be adOpted-this, by the way, being one of the
things contemplated for settlement between the

APPEAL TO PUBLIC ON FRONTAGE TAX

Having for many months used their influ-
ence in vain upon the board of supervisors to
induce it to take active steps toward solving the
road problem through the frontage tax laws
passed by the last legislature, the improvement
clubs through their central organization have
decided to appeal to a massmeeting of citizens
for an expression of public opinion on the sub
ject In the plan Adopted for this town meeting
it is proposed to make the issue clear-cut by a
presentation of facts and figures relative to the
expenditures of the present board Of supervisors
upon permanent paving and upon maintenance,
or, as the latter may be called, temporary re-
pairs g the revenue that has been available for
read work of all kinds; estimates of cost of dur
able roads for various kinds of traffic. etc" In
short, it is the intention to pin the public dis
eiIssion .'down to cases thus avoiding ramb-
ling talk on genefalities that will lead nowhere
1t is believed by the movers that both the road
question and the general financial problem
would be in far better situation today had the
supervisors, Immediately after the approval of
the frontage tax statutes, based their entire
road policy from then onward upon the provi-
sions of those measures Instead of taking that
course they went ahead with large expend-
lures, both upon permanent work and repairs
that we're at best temporary without due regard
for the will of the people expressed through the
legislature, which was that thenceforth the

REPRESENTATIONS IN WASHINGTON

Speaking Of criticism, it is always interesting
to 'Tsee Yourself as others see you'-prOrided thu

q matter of surprise TO find anything Of that
kind in ones self
The paragraphs that follow are from per
sonal letter to the President of the Merchants
Association. There is no occasion to give the
name Of the writer Suffice it to say that he
lives in Washington, is in personal touch with
official work-aday Washington is not mem
Der of Congress- and is thoroughly friendly to
Hawaii as well as the Wilson administration
The sugar situation hai become interesting and
there may be important developments at any time
There appears to be a good fighting chance for
knocking out the tariff act reduction
i has been source of perpetual wonderment to
me for the past two years and eight months that the
great sugar interests of Hawaii do not have some
body here to look after their affairs and join the
Louisiana people in putting up etn fight good,

obtained for reasonable sum. AS understand it.
the planters over there have thrown away enormous
amounts and have never bee1 able to discover the
purpose of so doing.
It is but little less than astonishing that the
interests in your Territory do not keep man here
to watch over matters OF vital consequence A sober
sensible man. who knows all the Government Depart
ments and all the in public life could keep track
OF these matters, say word at the right time and
either accomplish something specific - give a re-
turn for the money expended.
In your position as head of the Merchants Associ-
alton would suggest that some thought be given
these observations The outlay would be compare
lively small and the results of utmost benefit all
around One man of the right kind could take up all
the odds and ends and that all concerned are
kept advised and that the necessary word in time
spoken
The Immediate response in the minds Of the
planters interests will probably be that they
have representative in Washington with whom
this gentleman is not acquainted.
We are not arguing the point Of view of the
man who writes the letter. On one thing we
must all agree Hawaii is sadly lacking in thor
onghly efficient representation in Washington.
Not alone to those at this end of the line does
our working force appear to be "asleep at the
switch.
Our Delegate TO Congress is the man on
whom Hawaii should be able to depend for just
such work as is outlined in this letter. The Del
egate's secretary is doing the best he can. But
really when We come right down to the honest
truth of it, Hawaii's affairs in Washington as
regards representation are in an awful mess.
They are more in need of attention from an eff
ficiency standpoint than the road-building
methods of the Honolulu Board of Supervisors.
