Support The Governors Veto!

Support Of the governors veto Of the CITY charter
bill is an issue Of principle in the house.
No longer is the controversy merely one between
RepubIican or legislative factions. No longer is il
merely q split between the Chamber of Commerce
and the convention charter forces
The issue has resolved itself now To the question
whether the Oahu delegation il going 10 shove
through politics, stuffed charter and whether the
house members Of the outside islands are going 10
stand by such action.
This is a time when the unwritten law Of outside
members supporting the Oahu delegation on local
bill no longer holds good The principle is bigger
and broader than that. II is the principle of good
government progressive city Administrations
bad government. reactionary costly, Tastefu graft
encouraging city administration. aI,.>
1T is the duty of every progressive member of the
house 10 stand by the governors veto. There is no
pnestion of that now The situation is bigger than
lparty fight and it is bigger than any factional
move to discredit the governor.
The veto is sound; it is based obvious princi-
PIES Of business administration for Honolulu. The
governor must have known, when he returned the
bill without his approval that he would incur the
anger and the resentment of an active political fac
ton in the house and of its lobbying campfollowers
las persistent lobby the Legislature has seen
Tor SeNefai seSSlOIS lie Nelotl the Dlll cOuFdSe-
Gus act--an act, whose direct vigor should be ap-
plauded and upheld in the house
1t is said by those who demand that the veto he
oyerfidden that the Republican party is pledgedto
Quarter revision in its territorial platform and must
stand by that pledge. #
That is only partly true The Republican party
pledged ITSELF along with this promise OF charter re-
vision. ito economical sound efficient businessike
administration of affairs
When charter comes up for action that kills
economy, outrages efficiency and violates business
pnblican majority in either house senate to vote
for It.
Those legislators who have been elected on a
program of charter revision will have far cleaner
slate ON which to go before the people if this charter
bill is dropped than il it is showed through the
governors veto and the protests of progressive
Honolulu. They can say in good faith that they
stood for the best interests of the city.
Support of the governors veto is the manly
course, the courageous rse-and politically il is
the farseeng course. 1t will free the coming city
campaign Of a load of bitterness and factional
anger. 1t win help to win the large independent
vote that will be utterly Disguised if this charter is
put across.
Is the house going to encourage and indorse tn!
political and personal ambitions of small faction
and sacrifice the greater good of the community
The people hope and believe not.
The vote will tell
Gentlemen Of the house, You will be doing the
right thing by your city and your territory il you
support the governors veto.

Getting Together On HdWaii's Food
Problem

Iiawas big problem Of f0"dstntf production. dis
trbuton and conservation demands exactly the kind
of an organization that was begun this morning AZ
the Chamber of Commerce meeting. With an PXern-
tive committee Of five and the cooperation through
subcommittee of every factor of production and
consumption. the entire territory can be organized
on a war-feeding basis.
While the details are still to he worked out. the
framework is up and since there score of in
dividua agencies already actively planting. il will
not be impossible task to get the entire "rganiza-
ton into action in few weeks.
As has been repeatedly pointed out in these col
umns. there is lack of volunteer workers. lack
of enthusiasm, Of energy of steam" The lack has
been of coordination and with the general meeting
this morning. that coordination should he quickly
reached.
The committee outlined today AT once take up
with the Legislature the very pressing matter of
sion and other questions will be dealt with in their
turn.
TOday's meeting was large and of a practical turn
Of action. The only danger is that, like too many
public movements the action may begin to fade after
the first flush of enthusiasm. I'm ths case such a
fading will be disastrous Hawaii simply has 20 grow
of the staple fOodstuffs and If the vital spark
of enthusiasm ever begins TO dim, the cold facts of
territorial shortage will make continuance and an
aceeeratiOn of the "drive' absolutely Imperative.

Governor pinkham has vetoed the city charter
bill and his veto message brings up the necessity of

taken? Will they oppose action by the house to
pass the charter bill over his veto?

Because" smiled Uncle Harry in
response. they would know that
when the people OF the United States
learned from the President and Mr.

the people Of the United States would

LEGAL TANCLE
INVOLVES SUITS FROM
EASTLAND DISASTER
By The United Press.

CHICAGO, Jan 15.-Although more
than a year and a half has elapsed
since the picnic steamer Eastland
turned turtle at her dock in the Chi
cago river here. and snuffed out the
lives of S12 men. women and chill
dren. out for a holiday, compensation
for their deaths has not been made,
and the suits growing out of the dis
aster today are in bad legal tangle.
Surviving relatives Of the S12
workers who met death on the East
land are, in many instances, poor
people who depended on the earnings
of the victims Of the disaster. Many
of these have had a hard struggle TO
live since the ill-fated afternoon OF
July "a, 1915.
Interest in the situation today cen
ters on the question Of whether 3I5
suits for damages. in Federal Court
shall be consolidated and all tried at
once. or tried separately. Federal
Judge Lands must tell the United
States Supreme Court today why he
consolidated the cases, and why he
thinks theg ought No be tried to-
gether.
Should the Supreme Court order
the cases tried separately, as the own
ers of the Eastland demand, it is es'
timated that the trials will last fiji
teen years, allowing a minimum ol
two weeks for each case. Surviving
relatives Of about 800 OF the victims
have not sued at all, while others
have brought suit in Illinois State
Courts.
There is bill before Congress t'
give the United States Court o.
Claims jurisdiction in the cases. This
would open the way for the surviv
ing relatives of victims to make
claims against the Government
Many OF them blame the Govern
ment. through the Federal Steamboa
Inspector Service. for the disaster
but as the Government cannot bI
sued, they have no way of recovering
damages unless the Court Of Claim
Is given jurisdiction
