EFFICIENCY IS
DECLARED FOR
BY CONVENTION

Returning delegates from the Civic
Convention at Waiiuku declare that
one CT the most significant acts Of the
entire session was the stand taken
for efficiency in public work by the
adoption of a good roads resolution
with q civil service clause in it.
In adopting this resolution unant-
mously, after lively discussion over
the inclusion of the civil service
clause, the convention recognized that
the time has come in Hawaii when
efficiency must be made an issue,
whether ii results in temporary loss
or not. The delegates say that the
convention by its action indicates
plainly and emphatically to candidates
for office that the issue of efficiency
is a live one in this campaign.
The good roads resolution. outlining
a plan for new territorial roads syS-
TEN, originally contained a civil serv-
ice clause providing that appointment
of employees On these territorial roads
should be under civil service This
clause was cut out in the resolutions
committee, it being felt by some MEM
bers that for political reasons it would
be hard to get the necessary act
through tie legislature with a civil
service clause in it. From a political
standpoint, 1t was stated. there would
be much opposition in the legislature
because for many years road-work and
politics have been tied up together
and the politicians see the advantage
of having road-work as far as possible
under their control and not handled
under any civil service regulations.
But when the convention got to dis
cussing the resolution, the point was
made that the real issue in Hawaiian
government now is efficiency and that
whether there would be opposition to
this civil service plan in the legisIa.
ture or not, the convention should in
dorse it because it made for efficiency.
In the end the convention by unani-
nous vote adopted the resolution with
the civil service clause left in it and
the legislature will be asked to pass
an act accordingly. =.

The several hundred women who

Trout has convinced men, which Is
more to the point, since the men vote

Is extremely conservative and Is
clever enough not to antagonfze any
one. This conservative element may
defeat her for reelection to the pres

association in October. but that very
conservatism IL what made the suf-
