provement is badly needed. During the after
noon rush hours now the King street line is often
iammed, even with the running of "doublehead-
ers. 2 While the Carnival season was in progress,
Manager Ballentyne had several occasions to be-
wall the fact that he had to handle immense
crowds on single-track line where the eff
cheney of service is measured not by number of
cars, but by number of switches. The Rapid
Transit company, in starting to carry out con-
templated improvements before its new fran
chise bill passes Congress, takes slight chance
ON the future. All signs point to the approval
of the new grant by Congress, but there is al
ways the chance of a slip. If any further action
by the commercial bodies or the people of Homo
lulu is needed to hasten decision by the house
committee on territories, and then by Congress
itself, that action should be taken. The form Of
franchise is quite satisfactory to Honolulu, and
in Washington it is regarded as a distinct adj
vance in the character of public service grants.
The bill should pass at this session of Congress,
and il Delegate Knhio is incapacitated for sery-
ice in Washington, the sentiment of Honolulu in
favor of the measure should be reiterated to the
committee on territories by other means.

Nothing definite has come from the congress
sional investigation into the recent Colorado
mining disorders, except a significant amount Of
testimony showing high.handed methods on the
part Of the mine operators. The findings of the
committee viii probably not be forthcoming fol
some weeks. The subjects of inquiry, as speci
fled in the congressional resolution, are as fol
lows:
Whether the postal service is interfered with.
Whether the immigration laws being violated
Whether citizens have arrested and tried con-
trary the constitution laws of the United States
whether conditions have been caused by agree
ments and combinations contrary law for control
ling the production sale and transportation Of coal
or copper
Whether arms and ammunition have been shipped
into the fields the purpose of excluding the prod
nets of the mines from competitive markets in inter-
state trade.
whether peonage exists or has been maintained.
II these conditions. any OF them. exist what
causes led up to them
One of Michigan's congressman, Kelly, tried
ullsuccessfully to block the probe in his OWL
state This of itself should be enough to cause
the inquiry at Calumet and Honghton to be par
ticularly rigid.

and you seem to be alarmed about it.
The money in the hands of the
treasurer equals the amount collected
from the people by taxation. The less
the government collects the less the
people are taxed and the more the
people have available for other pur-
poses. We make a hue and cry
about our local government taxing us
too much and one would think that a
general government that collects less
taxes ought to be commended The
less indirect taxes we collect the less
money there will be available for ex-
in government, for all we
need do is to cut expenses to suit the
purse. The people will take good care
of what they have left for their own

some LATE DIsCBTIRIEs

President Wilson is getting an altogether un-
respected amount of support inside his own party
on his proposal for the repeal of the Panama ca.
nal tolls bill
When he first announced his intention to seek
the repeal Of the bill, it was predicted that he
would run afoul of party members who helped
frame the Democratic platform of 1872 Now
comes Representative Adamson of Georgia.
chairman of the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee of the House, with the declaras
ton that the provision favoring free passage for
American ships through the Panama canal was
injected into the Democratic platform without
the knowledge of the majority of the resolutions
committee.
Branding the tolls exemption provision as
|ssheretie doctrine 2 Adamson issued statement
paving the way for congressional debate on re-
pealing bill to be introduced in accordance with
THE determination of President Wilson that the
United States should recognize the claim of
Great Britain that exemption for American
Iships is in violation of the Hay Pauneefote
treaty.
Senator O'Gorman, who viii fight the repeal
provision in, the senate, and Representative
Broussard Of Louisiana, the senator-elect from
that state, were members Of a subcommittee at
Baltimore which wrote the tolls exemption plan
into the platform.
This late discovery concerning the Baltimore
platform will remind the people of Hawaii of the
situation with regard to free sugar. The Demo-
cratic delegation from Hawaii thought that it
had assurances from Woodrow Wilson, then at
Seagirt, that he did not favor free sugar The
delegation went for Wilson at the proper time.
A few months afterward Wilson's true attitude
became apparent and the Bourbons who went to
Baltimore from Hawaii found themselves ex-
tremely busy explaining the situation.

be harvested for this crop viii be
5414.91 acres. including 81 acres of
ratoops belonging to an independent
planter.
The cane has healthy appearance
but it is too early in its growth to
make anything but rough estimate

Reservoirs and bitches
During the year we have practical
lily completed the dam of the Hele-
mano upper reservoir. This reservoir
has an overflow area of 26.04 acres,
and a capacity Of 14S,000,000 gallons,
The total cost Of the dam to date is
$17, 1856, of which amount $7587.25
was paid out of the receipts for the
year 1918. The object of this dam is
to provide storage room for the wa
tiers of the Poamoho and Helemano
streams, and during the short time il
has been in use it has been of great
value to the plantation.
1.-THE continued dry weather has
caused a lowering of the artesian lev

and it was necessary to drill three
more wells at our No pumping sta
ton. This is a 10000. 900 gallon sta
| tion, and there are now twenty 12-inch
wells 400 feet deep. The new wells
connecting tunnels, pipe lines and fit
tings were paid for during the year
1913.
Three wells were drilled at sta
tons Nos. Z and IL to provide water
for fields lying at low elevation, and
to save for the upper fields the water

Unlegs there exists some definite legal objec.
ton to the employment Of 200 idle men on the
roads Of Honolulu, their wages to be pait>by the
Associated Charities, there is no good reason
why the supervisors should not accept the offer
It is foolish to say that citizen laborers will
be deprived Of work if the plan Of Mr. Spencer
Bowen manager Of the Charities, is carried out
There is work enough on the streets and roads
Of Honolulu to keep busy ten times as many men
as are now employed in the roads department.
The problem is not one of work to do, but Of
nney to do it with Now comes an offer Of 200
men to be furnished the city free Of cost 1t may
be true that the city is already "laying Off some
81 the present force But that has nothing to do
with the question. The city can employ just as
many men as il has money to pay and in addi
Iion have 200 more whose wages are paid from
non'municipal sources.
One objection is raised that the city has mol
tools to put in the hands OF the men from the
Charities And Immediately one public-spirited
man. Mr. james s. McCandless, comes forward
with the offer to see that these 200 get the tools
TIE supervisors cant find ways to supply
HEM. And this plan also disposes of the small
.Ieiion as to whether it is legal for the city toll
furnish tools to non-citizen labor.
The matter Of legality should be passed on at
once b. the deputy county attorney, the boards 8
legal adviser. If it is Illegal for the board to-
furnish tools for these 200 men to use in street.
work, then II was Illegal for the board to furnish
wagons, teams and other equipment on at least
two occasions in the past Honoluln's ~Glean-
up Days On those occasions there were some
non-eitizens who took off theireoats and worked
with city equipment to help clean the streets and
alleys and vacant lots. Was the question Of le
sality raised them Not 50 you could notice it!
On the face Of it the hesitation Of the super
visions has looked enough like playing politics to
arouse widespread indignation among the peo-
3'e Of Honolulu. We hope that their attitude
IS due to caution, not to political maneuverings
We hope that within the next few days they will
find themselves able to accept the services of
these 200 men.
Certainly there is no question but that the
streets and roads need more attention than is
now being given them.
