WAILUKU, Feb. 17.-At its last
meeting. the Maui board of superyi-
sors voted the sum of $44 to reim-
bruse Judge w. A. Mckay for fees
collected by him on process papers
served, which he turned over to the
county treasurer, and which he recent
ly had to pay over again to policemen
who claimed these fees. The case was
one of those brought through Attorney
Eugene Murphy against the district
magistrate, and which he won In the
local courts. 1t is claimed that there
is a conflict in the statutes as to the
disposition to be made of the fees for
serving papers. 1t has been the Gus
tom to turn them in as country realiza-
ton here on Maui, but under another
law it would seem that the police are
entitled to them. This is claimed to
be the course taken in Honolulu. The
matter may be carried to the supreme
court for decision.

Record Says N j.

George L. Record, candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, calls attention to the fact that
the Stae has a million acres OF UNI
used land held for speculation.
Mr.. Record asserts that this land,
if used, would accommodate hundreds
of thousands of additional people In
the towns and cities, and afford COM
Portable farm houses and homes for
100000 people. He favors forcing
this land into use by giving each
municipality the home rule power to
exempt buildings and improvements
from taxation when the people of the
locality so VOTE He asserts that this
plan would very materially increase
the prosperity of the State.

Record, chat all who believe in local

the liquor traffic, or public utilities,
or taxation, should be willing to

"a public policy which allows land

writes Mr.. Record, ian immoral sys-
tenn. When this higher price is fin

from the community a reward for

DeVoe Batted 500
On Last Snow Storm

A news item published in last
weeks "Palisadian" told of how
Andrew Jackson DeVoe had predicted
snow storm for April L. Also, that
he had predicted snow "next week."
Well, giving the Hackensack guesser
the benefit Of all, stolen bases, passed
balls, wild pitches and clean muffs,
he batted 500 on his hazard this
time, for on last Saturday, the 9Th,
there was soft, wet, slush-mushy
snow lasting all day and most of
Sunday. This brings up an average
for DeVoe above normal, and being
sorry he hit it even once won't mend
matters much. He hit an outcurve
this time and got a base.
