THINKS SUPERVISORS
CANNOT USE FUNDS TO
HELP KAUAI GUARDSMEN

According to the Garden Island,
Lihue's newspaper, the Kauai county
attorney has handed down an opinion
that it would be illegal for the county
to appropriate money for the 4th In
fantry. Editorially the paper says:
The attorney of Kauai has hand
ed to the supervisors an opinion to
the effect that it would be illegal for
the county to appropriate money for
portion of the expenses of the. 4th
Infantry. Inasmuch as both the coun-
ties of Maui and Oahu are making
identical appropriations right along,
while Hawaii county has made SINH
lar appropriations for other purposes,
we are inclined to think that our
learned attorney is either wrong or
his opinion is of such Importance that
it should be communicated without de-
lay to the benighted boards of super
visors of the other counties of the
groups"

recently introduced in the house by
John l. Nolan, whereby minimum pay
of SO day for all civil service en-
ployes is provided.
These clerks, it is said, prefer to
see the Chamberlain bill go through,
by which special dispensation is made
for them. AS whole they think the
Nolan bill would benefit other en-

GOVERNOR SENDS A
SPECIAL MESSAGE

ATLANTA, Ca, August S.-If the
present session of the legislature ad-
journs without the passage of a bill
creating an adequate state highway
commission to conform to the require
ments of the act of congress appropr-
iating a fund to aid the states in con-
structing public roads, it will not be
for lack of the governors official at
tention.
And if the house and senate let the
session get away without the passage
of bill revising the military laws of
the state to conform to the latest re-
quirements of the national government
affecting the National Guard, it will
not be through any oversight of the
chief executive.
In special message transmitted
Monday Governor Harris laid special
stress on the vital importance of Gre
ating a highway commission that will
enable the state of Georgia to secure
it's share of the federal appropriation,
and likewise stressing the great need
for revision Of the military laws of
the state.
The generally expressed newspaper
opinion over the state has been tha-
passed the house is not an adequate
measure, and this opinion has been up
held by officials of the bureau of pub
lie roads in Washington While the
the highway commission bill which
governor did not declare in so many
yords, that he regan1s the house bill
as an insufficient measure, he plainly
intimates as much.
labor legislation and legislation
looking to the establishment of state
warehouse system are also measures in
which the governor is very much in
terested.

And we feel and act Alright;
When the passions that degrade US
Burn to ashes and we live
In the laughter of forgetting,
And, forgetting, we forgive.
A little nearer heaven
When we've done some tender thing,
Helped another heart to blossom,
And another soul to sing;
When we've turned our strength to
duty
And in duty's love been born
To the gladness of the sunshine,
And the sweetness of the morn.
A little nearer heaven
When we turn from doubt to roam
To the gates of life's affection
And the lilied dreams of home;
When the calm o'ertakes the tempest
And the sunshine once again,
And turns creatures into men.
A little nearer heaven
When we make this earth place
Where the blossoms of affection
Glow in all their tender grace;

To make all around us seem

Where the eyes of beauty dream.
