end Of COUNTY
rule in SIGHT
Of SUPERVISOR

Because in several bills the legisla-
ture is attempting to delete powers
OF the board OF supervisors and county
government, the board last night Sc
verely criticized 1t and the course be-
ing pursued was declared to be the
work of enemies Of the city and coun-
ty government
Judge r. NJ hatch told the board
that its legislative committee was OPP
posing the proposed charter and asked
1t to. advise the committee as To its
stand on other matters.
A. NJ Cristy, deputy attorney, said
that there were number of bills in
troduced which tended to deprive the
board of control of dairy and plumbing
supervision and other health and sani-
tary matters.
There are too many legislators at.
tempting to do things which they
know nothing about, said Arnold. 81

back rooms of the Stangenwald build
ing and try to kill the county govern
ment.
The board is continually blamed
for spending too much money and here
is bill increasing the salaries of sew
'eral county employees and taking that
power out OF our control," he added.
Logan then showed how the present
statutes for dairy inspection had been
put on the books by the initiative OF
the county. He declared that the ter-
rftorial control in these matters had
not been nearly SO successful as under
the county.
It was also pointed out that unless
these bills were killed it would be
only a few years before the end OF
county government would be in sight.

INSPECTION Of
MILK REMAINS
WITH COUNTY

Over the question of territorial or
city and county Inspection Of milk and
dairies, city and territorial Officials
battled verbally this morning before
the senate judiciary committee
At the close Of the debate and after
the participants had filed out of the
committee room that body voted to
recommend the tabling Of the bills in
its report to the senate proper
DIR. j. S. b. Pratt, president OF the
territorial board OF health. spoke for
the bill and Mayor Lane. Supervisor
f. H. Hatch and Supervisor Daniel
Logan spoke against it.
II was between Pratt and Logan,
however, that the warmest argument
occurred. Logan stood firmly for let
ting milk inspection remain under the
control Of the supervisors. This is
simply another effort to rob the city
of its power" declared Logan as the
debate waxed warm. This is the first
time in the history of Hawaii that We
have had good milk, and now the
health board would take this power
from the city and county. It's an
other slap at county government"
DR.. Pratt sought to calm Logan, de-
elaring that he did not care to get
into a wrangie over the matter.
"If Mr.. Logan will come to my Of.
flee, however, ! can prove to him that
the territory was inspecting milk for
bovine tuberculosis tests long before
the county was he added
This bill was not made with the
idea of attacking city government. We
are carrying out the work on the other
islands and have improved the condi-
lions a lot in the last year"
Pratt asserted that the change
would mean economy. but this was
doubted by Mayor Lane who took up
the argument. The mayor said he was
present as chairman of the board Of
supervisors not because his brother Is
milk inspector.
It finally developed that only one
case of lack OF cooperation between
the two governments was on record.
according to DR.. Pratt, who said that
the supervisors had not had a place
cleaned up Immediately. Lane point
ed out that so many improvements had
been called for on the dairy In question
that the board had felt some delay
was excusable under the conditions.
The committee will take up the
health boards plumbing bill tomorrow
morning.

TO RENEW SERVICE BILL
Senator Chamberlain Still FaVors
Universal Military Training.

Senator Chamberlain, chairman OF
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee, said today he would confer with
President Wilson before April ., re-
garding a universal training and
other military preparedness measures.
Among these will be increases in
ordnance sufficient TO supply what
ever may be the demands of a land
force.
Discussing universal service today
Chamberlain said:
There has been a tendency on the
part OF the country to feel that our
people are not yet ready for this
drastic change in the military policy
of the United States. ! think that the
people are now ready for this change.
1 intend to introduce a universal
service bill when Congress convenes.
Unless Secretary of War Baker sug-
gests some Improvement or change !
will introduce the same bill that ]
laid before the last Congress"
Chamberlain voiced the belief that
the President, upon a declaration that
a state of war with Germany exists,
could. under the law, issue a call for
volunteers.

BIG PROFIT IN PECANS
Soft Shell Nut. Extensively Planted
In Oklahoma.

TULSA. Okla, March 21.-Large
groves OF soft shell pecans, which
command a fancy price on the mar
ket and are a wonderfully profitable
thing for eastern Oklahoma, are
being planted in overflow land in
Tulsa county by wealthy oil opera
tors. One will plant a grove of 5000
trees this month and a grove of six
teen acres planted two years ago
should bear this year. Other groves
are due to bear this year also.
Pecans are native to this country,
and tens of thousands of trees which
yield the small nut are bearing and
are proving a good thing financially.
Some land owners have hit upon the
idea of grating the buds of the large
soft shell pecan OF Texas and Geor-
gia to the native trees. Last year
several trees thus grated bore for
the first time and demonstrated the
cessfully.
Experiments are being made in
the growing of the English walnut
in Tulsa county. 1t has been argued
that this walnut would thrive in this
country as well, If not better, than
in California, and nurserymen have
for several years been urging or
chardists to plant them. Some OF the
trees should bear this year, and the
result will be awaited with interest
If the venture is a success, thousands
of the walnuts will be planted next
winter.
