THE RESULT OF NEPoTIsM AND
PARTISAN POLITICS.

Continual playing of partisan politics with
the city's milk inspection system is dangerous
1t has resulted in bill now before the Iegis-
lature to put the inspection in the territory 5
hands.
The argument against such shift is that it
will remove from the city and county natural
and proper function of we'll regulated munici-
pality-its own health and cantary safeguard
ing. 1t will reduce the city's self-governing
powers.
The argument in favor Of the shift is that
the city has failed to handle its milk inspection
properly. And that argument is likely to prove
stronger than the other, for the protection of
public health comes before the observance of
any particular form or structure of government.
The last city ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
made the milk inspector job plum for a po-
litical henchman who had to be given atten-
ton.
The present city inistration-Republican
also erred gravey. Mayor Lane appointed
his brother to the position at a comfortable
salary. Irrespective of the question whether
his brother is or is not capable inspector, the
appointment was unnecessary. By giving the
board of agriculture inspector city COM
mission and $40 month, the mayor could have
secured for the city the services of trained
man and one already proved competent. But
nepotism and politics we're allowed to over
ride public interest and the economical, the
efficient way was disregarded $3.50. -.. -
1t is argued now that the milk inspector is
not so much to blame as the city physician.
The public isn't as vitality interested in the
Question of what city official is to blame as in
the fact that the system is Ineffective.
That is why even those who most earnestly
advocate full powers for the municipality don't
feel called upon now to get up and protest at
the idea of the territory taking over the milk,
Inspection.
Unless the city gets down to more business
ike government there will be other legislative
bills to remove other powers. The only way
to stop. this bill is to prove that the city will
DO better. ~

EDITOR
THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

The department of agriculture announces
that in 1914 there was produced in this country
~, 054 tons of refined beet sugar, and it is a
matter of common knowledge that, owing to
war conditions and the fact that sugar does not
go on the free list until next spring, the acreage
for 1915 will probably be larger than ever
before
And there it will stop. There is no beet sugar
factory in this state which expects to run next
year, and all which have made any statement
on the subject say that they will not run be
cause they cannot.
1t is presumably the same in all other states,
and it is certainly the case with the cane grow
ers of Louisiana whose sugar costs more than
beet sugar.
But that will not help the consumer in the
least While with all forms of sugar as they
are now the beet sugar factories cannot run
without protection, with the million tons of do
nestle sugar withdrawn, the refners will be
able to get the same old prices and pocket the
profits. For years the refners' trust which
has been characterized by the department Of
justice as having practised "a long continued
system of defrauding the government of I'M
paralleled depravity," has been striving to put
the beet sugar producers out of business.
At last, by the aid of the president and con-
gress, it has done the trick, and not only has it
not profted the consumer by one cent, but when
the war exigency came, these same retners
would sell only at the most extortionate prices,
and are endeavoring to do so still.
That which this most villainOus trust has
done before it will certainly do whenever it is
possible.
The one possibility of preventing extortion
was in the beet sugar industry. ~,
And that, the refining trust, in collaboration
with theoretic president and Democratic
Congress, has removed.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

Do l hear somebody ask, how about
the loss Of revenue that the govern
ment will have to stand? True, it is a
vast amount CT money that is poured
into-the Golfers of the government
from the tax on Intoxicating liquors
Stop a second and think. 1t is not the
liquor dealers who pay this enormous
tax. 1t is the victims of the drink
habit that pay it, and they pay it out
Of the hard-earned wages that should
have been taken to the home to buy
clothes and shoes for the little ones.
The slave to the drink habit not only
pays the big tax to the government,
but he also pays a tax larger still,
that goes to build the mansions of
the dealer in the most desirable To-
calities of the city. A citizen freed
from the curse OF drunkenness can
bear any burden of taxation neces-
sary to support the government.
How about the manufacture Of "
quor? And in this respect, run it right
back to the farmer who disposes of
his grain for the purpose Of liquor
manufacture. There Is ansested right
in the manufacture and sale Of liquor
and anybody engaged In such business
is with full knowledge that it is sub
ject to control and restraint.
The liquor business has no defense
or excuse for existence. 1t adds moth
ing to the productiveness of this ter
ritory, and each day withdraws sums
Of money that might he invested in
other useful channels 1t will he a
happy day for Hawaii when the liquor
traffic gets beyond the 'effectiYely
regulated" period and is entirely abol-
ished. NJ. F. C.

TURKISH oUTRAGEsUpoN CHRISTIANS.

Recent reports of Turkish outrages upon
Christians in Assyria and other parts of the
Near East have hardly Indicated the number of
non-combatants who are at the mercy of the
ruthless Ottoman According to Associated
Press advices, the horrors of the great war have
now brought suffering and exile to more than
10000 offenseless Christian. people in North
western Persia, according to a statement given
out by newly organized Persian War Relief
Committee. The invasion of Persia and the
capture by Turks and Kurds of the cities of
Brumiah, Tabriz and other cities which had
been held by Russian troops, drove the Assyr-
ian and Armenian people, in fear of massacre,
either out of the country or into Russia or into
the American missionary compounds in Cru-
miah and Tabriz. The fight from Urumiah
began at midnight on January 2, the people
having only few moments notice of the APP
proacll of the Kurds and the need of fight.
For over 70 years American Christians have
carried on missionary work among these people

and Roman Catholic missionaries from France

has now fallen upon the people falls upon them

Denies PRAYER
FOR INJUNCTION
ON SCHOOL FUND
Chancellor Martineau Rules
No Specific Appropriation
Necessary.

Little Rock. June % Chancellor
Martineau today denied the injunc
ton sought by Attorney Allyn Smith
of Cotter, against the Disbursements
of the common school fund. He did
not discuss the law in The case, and
it was appealed to the supreme court.
Mr.. Smith insists that he is in
sympathy with the cause of educa-
ton, and his only purpose is to clear
up tha law with reference to the pay
ment of the fund annually without a
specific appropriation. 1t was held
several years ago that this was
necessary in the case of tae Confei-
crate pension fund Judge Martin
eau recently held tina. it was nee
essary IN the state aid to high schools
and that case is now pending on APP
peal in supreme court. and is set for
a hearing on June %.
Should an injunction finally be OBJ
tanned against the STATE treasurer for
the disbursement of the school fund
amounting to about 81 100000 no
other course appears open except to
call an xtra session of the legisla-
ture. although Governor Hays might
find sCme other sXpsdient.
