Both the Hilo convention and the
county fair scored unquestionable
successes. The convention, OF course,
did not measure success by attend
ance. but by the interest Of its dele
gates. by the earnestness and intel
iigence with which they went at their
various problems, and in particular by
the amount of work accomplished OF
permanent nature.
Some OF the important actions
taken by the convention were:
Indorsed territorial highway act,
which will be presented to the next
legislature, and which rrovides for

HILO BABY SHOW

Daring SoIomons

II is safe to say that no feature OF
the Hawaii County Fair attracted
more attention than the baby show,
though few of the visitors were able
to see the youngsters, since they
could not be placed on continuous
display.
Young Master Lewis McNicoll, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James McNicoll, aged
IL months and % days, was one of
the premier winners, taking first
prize for best baby in any class and
winning IN his own class.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald S. Bowman
were made happy when their little
LAM Pele Bowman, four months old,
scored first in the class for three
months to six months of age.
Mr.. and Mrs. LodenKamper were
also made happy when the judges
gave second prize in the three-to-six
months babies to their little girl, Ju-
dith Lodenkamper, four months old.
At the first Hawaii county fair her
brother, then about two years old,
won first prize.
There were % competitors in the
baby show and the judges, DR.. j. s. B.
Pratt and DR.. Patterson, had no easy
time deciding on the following

ELECTRIC FANS TO

CALIFORNIA. Mo.-The birds in
the poultry plant here are real high
flyers. They have one convenience
that no monarch could have enjoyed
fifty years ago. That convenience is
electric fans.
Electric fans and running water
have been installed in the large feed
ing station of the A. B. Cole & Sons
plant here. Under the play of foun-
tain in the feeding station is the
favorite haunt of the ducks and geese.
The management found the fans and
water saved the lives of many fowls
and make them fatten faster in bot

Statement by Tax Commis- sioncr Howe Replying to Interpretation Put On a Section of Report of State Auditor

CoutrGvertmg a statement made In interpretation of part of the annual report of State Auditor Cailaghan, and intended To cXagIerate the per capita expenditures of the public money for state purposes. Charles R. Howe, chairman of the tax commission, yes terday prepared the following analysis of that part of the report Nr. Howe relieves the state auditor of any in- teution that such a use so damaging To the state should he made of his report:
 Phoenix, January T, 1916. TO the Editor of The Arizona Repub-
 Hcan. lhoeuIX. Arizona.
 Sir: | have been requested to an- alyle that portion of the state auditors report in which he has been quoted for ,le past year as stating that the state expenditures of Arizona are $11.76 per capita. and comparing with New McNico's at $3.00.
 To begin with, the auditors report does not make any such statement, npr does the auditor lay claim to any such eNtravasant figures, as the true state expenditures.
 lt is unfortunate for purposes of sta tlstiCs only, that the state of Arizona acts as q collection agency for all of the counties and some of the cities and that nearly d million and a half dollars is shown in the auditors report Q as Expenditures from all funds" not a dollar of which the state puts to ITS OWN USES, but on the contrary transmits To the county treasurers of th, several counties, and is actually in cluded by THEM in THEIR respective county expenditures.
 The auditors report for the year 1914 shows the total amount of money pass ing through his hands for the fiscal wear l9l3-li. and which is properly CharEeahle to the state, twelve of four teen counties. and the cities of Pres colt, Tombstone and Tucson, as a total uet sum of ................$2.9 $2.912,190I7

the Frankfurter Zeitung as saying:
Germany does not want cessa-

"A conference will be held at The

The Frankfurter Zeitung continues:
Germany must try to prevent the

but great apparent divergence of opin-
ion will have less significance when
the oral explanations are offered.
The standpoints of both parties are al

But Germany must not be asked to

objections against such, 1t would be
abrogated if there were a common or
