Deputy County Attorney Viewers statement
Of the frontage-tax law might be interpreted as
something like this: ..You are all right on gen
ersll principles, but Won don't know what You :lre
talking about. ID
If Mr. Weaver isswhollF correct IN his atti-
tllde that the supervisors have lad no oppnrfu
nifty to apply tllis frontage tax for street con.
structior, II Wonld seem proper for residents Of
the districts most interested to come forward
promptly and make the desired request
If it be a fact that this frontage tax requires
only initiative to put it into operation property
owners should not be lacking in fllis quality Of
progressive citizens
Mr. Weaver is TO be thanked for his inter
view It should assist in the suggestion of in
ielligent questions which may be put quickly
and answered clearly at the proposed town
meeting.
Half the trouble in this world IS caused By
failure to understand file facts
The town meeting will help create 4 new rep
utation for Honolulu II il will establish 4 prec
elent Of efficiency in criticism and sane discns
sion based on Well-esfablished facts.

directors waited until too late, though

fair as possible" said one supervisor
yesterday. And therefore we are
glad to hear objections to any sec

made before the measure is passed Oh

there is no reason why the objection
cannot be made in time. We have

THE FIGHT AGAINST FOOT AND
MOUTH DISEASE.
Statement From the Secretary of !Ag-
I.iculture in Regard to the
Federal Measures.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.-The
Secretary of agriculture has issued
the following statement regarding
the quarantine for foot. and mouth
disease:
The present outbreak of the foot
and mouth disease, which is one OF
the most contagious and destructive
diseases of cattle, swine and sheep,
exceeds in area affected any of the
five previous outbreaks in this coun-
try Unless the infection can be i'm
mediately localized and quickly eradi-
Gated, it threatens untold losses
among live stock.
So contagious is the disease that in
past outbreaks where but one animal
in herd was infected, the entire
herd in almost all cases later con-
tracted the sickness While the NOR
tally is not high the effects of the
disease even on animals that recov-
err are such as to make them Dracti-
cally useless. They lose flesh rapid
]y; in the case Of cows, the milk dries
up or is made dangerous for human
consumption; in the case of breeding
animals, the animal once infected be-
comes valueless for breeding. as it
may continue to be constant carrier
of contagion
1t is possible to cure the external
symptoms, but during the process OF
attempting to cure one SICK animal
the chances are that hundreds of 9TH
ers may be infected The treatment
or killing of single animal in herd
was tried in an outbreak and did not
prove effective, for the reason that
the remainder Of the herd soon be-
came affected and had to be killed.
AS result of the five outbreaks in
this county, and other disastrous cpl
denies of the disease in Europe and
Great Britain, veterinary authorities
of the United States are agreed that
the only method of combating the
disease is to stop all movement of
stock and material which have been
subjected to any danger of infection
and to kill off without delay all herds
in which the disease has gained any
foothold. This enables the authorizes
to eradicate affected herds and to iso-
late and hold under observation all
suspected herds.
For these reasons, the Department
of Agriculture has already quaran-

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE AND PRO.
HTBHTION.

While women were casting their
votes Tuesday along with the men in
ten states, woman suffrage was in
course Of being defeated at the polls
in all but one of the seven states
where the issue was directly submit
ted to the electors. IN Montana
alone did the women win their fight
for equal rights No doubt the cir
cumstance that the three adjoining
states, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho,
had long since granted them the fran
chise influenced its decision.
Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota and Nevada all re-
jected the women's appeals for the
vote. Ohio was the least promising
field in which they had the opportun-
ity to test the sense of the voters,
and the large cities went strongly
against them. 1t is in the west,
where in four years the suffragists
have won the vote in the six states
of Washington. California, Arizona,
Kansas, Oregon and Montana, that
they have the best reason to hope for
progress, but even the west refuses
to be hurried.
1t was in the west also that the
battle over prohibition was chiefly
fought OF the five states where the
closing of saloons was direct is
sue, only in colorado was the cleo
ton close. IN California the wine
growing interests were naturally
alarmed and sided with the liquor in
terests Washington, Arizona and
Ohio also remained unregenerate. In
Pennsylvania, where prohibition
movement was directed against Sen
ator Penrose, the reforming zeal of
some of his opponents only added to
his political strength.
Neither in the direction of woman
suffrage nor of prohiDltion did the
tide this year favor radical change.

tined ten states for the foot and
mouth disease. The federal quaran-
tine prevents all interstate movement
of stock and materials likely to carry
| the Infection At the same time, the
state authorities are imposing local
guarantees which prevent the pas
sage Of animals from farms or local
| tiles known to be infected to other
localities in the same state in which
the disease has not appeared. Each
infected herd, as rapidly as the dis
ease is discovered, is killed and the
dead animals buried in covering of
lime. The skins of the animals are
slashed so as to permit the rapid ac-
tion of the lime.
The owner of the slaughtered ami
mails is reimbursed on basis of the
appraised value of the herd, the APP
praiser being appointed by the state.
The expense of the whole process Of
condemnation and disinfection is di-
vided equally between the federal
and state government
Until the entire premises have
been thoroughly disinfected and all
danger of spreading the disease re-
moved, the farm is quarantined by
the local authorities in the same way
in which it would be for contagious
human disease. This local quaran-
tine prevents the visit of individuals
or the transfer of any produce or
animals from the farm to other
farms In some cases, because hui
man beings can carry the disease to
other herds, the state authorities
have prevented children on infected
farms from attending school. In 9TH
er cases, as in Illinois and Ohio, the
state authorities have closed the
stockyards until they can be cleaned
and disinfected.
The first effort of the department
is to discover and segregate all ami
mails sick with the disease or that
have been exposed To this end, the
federal and state inspectors are now
tracing up, through bills of lading
and railroad records, oil shipments
of live stock which have been made
during the last sixty days out Of any
of the infected or suspected districts.
The herd of animals SO shipped are
located and Immediately examined by
veterinarians. In this way the pres
ence of foot and mouth disease has
been discovered in various places in
the present wide area now under fed
eral quarantine, which includes Mas
sachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa. SINH

Talk about landslides! the republi-
cans elected Taft in 1908 and pro-
ceeded to revise the tariff upward.
Taft said it was the best tariff law
ever enacted. Four years later, Taft
carried just two states, and the. re-
publicans lacked $50 votes of con-
trolling congress. Wilson was elect
ed in 1912 and the democrats revised
the tariff downward The last election
