Special Committee From Garden
Island Confers With Inter

Crrom "wednesday Advertiscr)

(trOm ednesday AdNertlscr)
At conference held at three O. clock
yesterday afternoon to secure better
passenger facilities between Honolulu
and Kauai, n special committee consist
ing of Charles II. Wilcox, Judge c. b.
Hofgaard, f. A. Knudsen, Sinclair Rob
inson and W. d. MeBryde, conferred
with the officials of the Inter Island
Company in the latter offices.
1t was decided by J. l.. Mclean, vice
president of the Inter-Island and acting
president in the absence Of President
J. A. Kennedy, 70 put the Kinau back
on her old run within four or five

Want Kihau Back
W. y. McBryde speaking about the
committees request said: awe do not
want the Kona side of Kauai deprived
Of the Kinau. What we want is bet
ter passenger accommodations as q
whole, without detracting from tho
passenger accommodations we have
been having ON our side, namely the
Kinau once q week. The Waimea PEG
pie, on the Kona side want the steamer
to run twice week If it is possible
Under the old schedule the Kinau ran
only once week.

Iamakua is also handling cattle. The
Maui has been taken off her regular
run to Nawiliwili, Ahukini and Koloa
to act as sugar carrying ship between
Hawaii ports and Hilo.
Can't Spare Kilauea
Regarding the proposed plan to put
the Knauea on the Waimea run and
continue the Kinau in cattle carrying,
Inter Island officials say that il could
not be done, as the Kilauea is too large
to make Waimea ports safely. The
Kilauea is also reserve boat in case
of a break down to the Nauna Kea.
A proposed schedule, by which the
kinau was TO make two trips a week
to Nawiliwili and Ahukini, taking the
Maui's run was submitted by the In
ter Island to the Kauai people. Wal,
mea objected to it however, saying that
it would mean an overland trip from
Waimea to Nawiliwili to reach the
Kinau. This proposition was then
withdrawn by the Inter-Island.
The committee which arrived from
Kauai in the Kinau yesterday, repre-
scnts the Kauai Chamber of Commerce.

COTTON GRADER.

The County Commissioners were
in regular session yesterday, it
being first Monday. After at
tending to their regular routine
Of business, they heard delega-
ton Of Scotland Neck citizens Oh
the question of providing a cotton
grader for the county. After the
hearing the Commissioners dccid-
ed to help secure one. In our
opinion the Commissioners did
a wise thing and we believe a cot
ton grader will save to the cot
ton farmers Of the county a great
deal more than his cost. The
grader will help both seller and
purchaser Of cotton. We heard
Mr.. +. p. Shields Of this city, who
is one Of our largest farmers aud
most successful business men, say
that a grader saved him several
hundred dollars on one crop. If
any of you are little skeptical
on the benefits Of having your
cotton officially graded we refe,
you to Mr.. Shields and hear his
experience.
We advise every farmer in the
county to take advantage Of hav
ing his cotton graded. The grader
will be ready, willing and anx
ious to grade your staple Don ,
let one be provided and fail t,
use him. Try it out and learl
for yourself.

Mr.. McCullers Of Charlotte, N.

Patterson of Roanoke Rapids,
talked to quite a crowd OF cltl-
zens and officers in the court
room in Halifax yesterday on the
question Of Modern Bookkeeping.
He is an expert accountant and
his idea is to get Halifax county
to install new system OF book
keeping in all the county depart
ments. The various. commissions
Of the County, as we understand !,
will consider the matter and de
eide later whether to change or
not.
If it will save the county any
money, or bring in more revenue,
let s have it. If it s cost will ex-
ceed the benefits derived there
from, let it alone.

a Bill to Protect the Public,

Representative Dan Y. Stephens of
Nebraska and Senator William F. Ash
ufSt OF Arizona have iDtrtluced in
congress- "a bill to protect the public
against dishonest advertising and false
pTetrnSeS in merchandising" A SINH
lar l,ieas'.re was introduced in the last
congress by Representative Stevens of
New Hampshire.
It oJg,ht to be automatic that the pub
lie c1nnot profit through dishonesty or
through false pretenscs. The individ-
u5l may maize a pecuu1ary gain;
thieves. burglars and confidence men
occasionally escape paying the penalty
Of theil' crimes and are pecuniarily bet
ter Off. But the public. the victims of
the successful criminals. loses
The Stephens shu3st bill provides
for standard and uniform prices on ar
tacles sold under Il trademark or spe-
cial brand. With the widest possible
publicity for buyers and sellers Oppo
nents of the bill-adherents of dishon-
est advertising and users of false pre-
lenses i'll chandising-have de-
clared that it viii encourage monopoly

it will increase the cost Of living. that
1t Will raise the price Of verything
sold in any sort Of store.
No Monopoly Possible.
The bill does not encourage monop
oily, because producers who have a mo-
aopoly of any particular line Or who
make an agreement With a competitor
to maintain prices are barred from
taking advantage of the privilege of
preventing discrimination by contract
ing for the resale of their goods at uni
form prices. A monopoly, no matter
how it is gained. cannot do business
under the terms Of the Stephens bill
On the other hand. cutthroat compe.
tition in price has always been the
chief weapon of monopoly.
The bill will not raise prices and in
crease the cost of living. Producers
already have the right to sell thei,'
goods at wholesale at any price they
can set, at what they are worth The
proposed legislation merely permits the
producer to control the retail price. and
If he puts this too higll-higIler than
the public is willing to pay-then his
goods will not be sold and he loses,

working hours and reasonable
pay. Labor is just as much en-
titled to protection Of the Govern
ment as capital and should have
it. But when labor unions OF any
kind reach the point Of debating
not only to capital, but to our Ma
tional Government, it is time to
put on the brakes Where will 1t
all end? What will be it's con
sequences?
When these unions have the
power, as they seem to have now,
to stop the transportation OF all
food, raiment and drink, and tie
UP all enterprises, prevent the peo-
pile from obtaining even the ne
cessitics of life, and show deter
mined disposition to use that pow

overstepping the purposes for
which they were organized, and II
our government is powerless to
control, then it looks to us, that
it s time for government owner

that this threatened strike is only
the beginning Of Government
Ownership. We are in favor Of
any kind Of ownership which will
prevent the occurrence Of what
we've just passed through, pro
vided both capital and labor have
an equal show.
We may be wrong, but we do
not believe that Congress has the
constitutional right to say how
long, or how many hours per day
man shall work. We believe
that it is a matter Of right and
privilege vested in the individual
and the individual has the inalien-
able right to contract to work as
many hours per day as he wishes
But we do believe that our
national Congress has the right
to prevent both or either, capital
and labor, from using its power
to Cypress even the lowlicst human
being, even though trying to bet
ter their condition. Should az
organization Of eight hundred
thousand members have and be
allowed to exercise the power tc
throw the nation Of one hundred
million human beings into misery
need, hunger, turmoil, and riot
We believe Congress has tho
power to prevent such. If it has
it should put such power into
laws.
Unless some change is made
we fear that this generation may
sec the time come when farm lab
or shall demand an eight hour day

happen?
Why should eight hours con
stitute a day for railroad worl
any more than eight hours a day
for clerk, farmer or any othe7

We are not criticizing the broth

wages they can, for the leas
work, but we do greatly Oppose
their method Of obtaining thei

STANDARD PRICES
AID COMPETITION
The Stephens Bill Encourages
Rivalry In Quality.
REAL BENEFIT TO PUBLIC,

false Pretense In Merchandising as
Prac.iced by Big City Stores Is Meth
cd Used to Injure Small Dealers and
to Destroy Small Towns-Dishonesty
Can't Benefit Consumers.
The true competition is between
rival articles, a competition in ex-
ceIIence, which can never be main
tanned if, through the perfidy Of
the retailer who cuts prices for
his own Interior purposes, the
manufacturer is forced to compete
in prices with goods of his own
production. while the retailer re-
coWps his losses on the cut price
by the sale of other articles at, or
above, their reasonable price. 1T
IS A FALLACY TO ASSUME
THAT THE PRICE CUTTER
POCKETS THE LOSS. THE
PUBLIC MAKES IT UP ON
OTHER PURCHASES. Fixing
the price on all brands Of high
grade flour is very different thing
from fixing the price on one brand
of high grade flour. The one
means destruction OF all competi-
ton and of all incentive to in
creased excellence. The other means
HSiShIeneG competition and Irten-
sified incentive to increased ex-
ceI!ence.
This language. used by the supreme
court of the state of Washington in a
unanimous decision of the case of this,
Fisher FIGURING Mills Go. versus c. A.
Swanson, clearly sets forth the inter-
est the consumer has in maintaining
the highest form of cOmpetitiOn-that
of quality. Competition in price re-
suits in inferior. quality and the evil
Of substitution. Dishonest advertisers
use cut prices on standard and widely
known merchandise to lure customers
into their establishments, where an
efOrtfwill be made to sell anonymous
goOGs.
The genuine bargain Is used as bait
to, spread the impression that all mer-
chandise is sold at the same low mar
gin of profit II this impression can be
created the cut rate merchant can sell
unknown goods at as high a figure
as hi: conscience will permit him te
charge-and his conscience is elastic
