THE asHoRTBALLoT, PLAN FOR
HONOLULU.

Mr. 4. +. Judd's letter to Supervisor Francis
hi Hatch, published by the Star Bulletin yester-
day, contains number of suggestions for improve
nent in municipal affairs which deserve thought
ri consideration Some of them the STAR ulle-
tin will discuss later. point to which this paper
desiresi particularly to call attention now is set
forth by senator Judd as follows
The municipal act, 1t is with but few
changes, can be made to concentrate re-
sponsIbity and authority. Let Us build on our own
experience rather than copy others. We know our
present system Let US enanse y where q. necessary
snperyisors and the auditor. Let all the other off,
Gers be appointed. The appointing power win then
be responsible for them Such is not now the case,
and the result is complained Of
he further suggests variation of the above, to
create board of four men and the mayor, each
with executive functions, and points out that this
would be no novelty to native voters, who were
familiar with similar plan under the monarchy.
Senator Judd's suggestion, quoted above, is in
effecf the establishment of the "shortballot" sys-
tenn in Honolulu city government
The ssshortballot" plan has been favored for
fo,r .rears by many students of our municipal af-
fairs. The Municipal Research Club is pledged to
,l;s nr;ncipal: many businessmen favor it. The
stsr.BuIletin has repeatedly told why we believe
il would be effectively applicable here
what has damned this plan in the eyes of many
voters Is the fact that it sometimes goes by the
name Of commission government And commission
covprument in local affairs has been confused with
Military commission government for Oahu under
washington supervision. This confusion has in
.o,,e cases been Intentionally caused by designing
politicians who play on prejudice.
senator Judd finds painful lack OF interest in
,;tv affairs on the part of the business leaders
he He would give the city officials broader powers
"a concenfrate responsibility instead of scat

a. G.. NJ. ROBERTSON: While
the Oarsmen have under consideration
the matter of the course for the COM
ing regatta, it is to be hoped that they
will carefully consider the suggestion
that the races be rowed in the smooth
water Of the inner harbor. If three
quarter mile stretch can be staked
off, the senior crews could row it with
two turns, making a two and a quar-
ter mile race. The juniors and fresh
men could row it with one turn, max
ing mile and half. This would
give the public better view of the
races and ought to prove satisfactory
to the crews. ...
