PROTEST MISUSE
OF ROAD funds

= X
Wade Warren Thayer has sent in a
protest to the board Of supervisors re-
garding the way Alewa road was re-
Gently repaired resulting, he declares.
in an absolute throwing away of the
money.
The protest says that the road was
repaired but as no asphalt was used
the recent rains entirely washed out
the road again.
Il am aware that the city ana cOun-
ty is pinched for funds" he says, but
| respectfully protest against the mis-
use of such funds as are available and
this method of spending the public
money"
AS another example of the waste
he says that for the last three days
two men have been working along
Alewa road cleaning the weeds and
bushes out. They have no supervision
over them and as a result spend the
major portion of the time sitting on
the edge of the bank, smoking and
looking at the view.
Thesmoney used to pay these men
should be expended in repairs and not
for furnishing soft jobs" he adds.

Now war is close upon Us. From the stories and
pictures that come of the bloody zones of con

in the maelstrom means in burdens on America.
- There is no reason for any American who mingles

of a serious business when men who can think
straight talk straight and shoot straight are worth
More to their country than fabby sentimenasts

Proof that the Star-Bulletin's Good

and in advertising ever turned out in
the islands. by the way, took with
Honolulu readers is evident from the
large number of voluntary commenda'
tions and appropriations which came in
this morning, a few CT which are pub

Most comment today was twofold,
first that the Star Bulletins efforts
for good r0ads was a, laudable one
and. second, that the manner inswhich
the paper went about presenting the
various propositions relative to good
roads and more model highways, and
the facts, figures and statements pre-
scented by representative citizens was
most comprehensive,
Here are a few brief comments out
Of the many received from people

Chamber of Commerce: | was very
pieased with the "good roads edition

be an inspiration to the legislature to
mass the necessary laws giving the
county sufficient for building good
roads. With the money from the leg

FRANK COOMBS: The Good Roads

AN IMPOSSIBLE PROPOSAL.

One may grant all the good things said about the
Chinese of Hawaii in their memorial to Congress
without agreeing that the situation justtes the i'm
portation of 10000 Chinese labOrers into Hawaii.
The arguments against such an Importation OF
coolie labor are many. Chief among them is that
Hawaii is in position to undertake the assimiIa
ton of 10000 more OrentalS. This vast. unleayen
ed mass of aliens, wholly ignorant of tongue
and almost as wholly ignorant of our customs and
institutions, would impose a and staggering
burden on our government and our citizens. To ex
pect the original 10000 to become truly American
lied would be idle particularly as it is proposed
TO use them for rice culture, a form of labor as
practised by the Chinese here, utterly at variance
with modern tilne.saying and machineemp1oying
systems. The nature Of their employment as well
as their unfamiliarity With the English Language
would put these 10000 outside the pale of imme
date influence.
Again we should have the experience now familiar
-of trying to 'assimilate" the first and American
ize the second generation.
The Chinese are valued, a respected, much
liked element in Hawais population. Their friend
ships, business and personal, with the "haoes" are
innumerable. 1t is not derogatory to them to say
that their scheme of importing huge number of
lakorers from China is impossible.
