THE question of transportation is
of tremendous Importance. both in the
handling of the labor necessary to
conserve the crops. and in the han
ding OF the food products from the
farm to the great centers.
II cannot urge unon the people of
our state too strongly the need for
closest attention to the food problem.
Everything counts. Why. even in the
homes. millions are wasted annually
by tie present methods of handling
foods. Particularly, at this time of
the year, the average housewife, pre-
pairing potatoes for cooking, will pare
the ends and sides sharply, because of
soft, spongy sides. She wastes from
10 to 20 per cent of the potato. BY
cooking the potato with the Jacket

"1n North Dakota we. have about 50
days remaining in which to bring
about h great production required.
Within the next two months it is pos
sible to plant various products, and
every day counts.
Every citizen must realize his du-
ty to the nation and make plans i'm
mediately for taking up his share of
the work."

WITH FEDERAL DEMANDS

Senator j., H. Coney has been hand
ed for introduction in the senate a
bill authorizing changes in the present
militia law to correspond with the
federal requirements under the new
defense act. :.~.. -. -
One of the most important features
of the bill is that staff officers here
after shall have had previous military

Another change provided is that Of
ficers shall be selected only from

AMENDMENTS TO
CHARTER May WIN
over DEMOCRATS
Pauahi Street Faction Reported
to Be Ready to Back Up
Civic Bodies

Enter Lincoln l.. c'Link") McCand-
less and the socalled Pauahi street
Democrats into the city charter con-
troyersy.
That the passage Of the city charter
bill with the amendments proposed
by the Chamber OF Commerce. would
meet with the undivided approval OF
the McCandless faction of Bourb0ns
Is the assertion OF \ member OF the
house Of representatives., who, Incl
dentally, Is q member OF the Oahu
delegation, to which the measure has
been referred.
This legislator declares that the
adoption of the amended charter
would throw the control OF the entire
city government into the hands of the
Democrats.
Did you ever see the Democrats
beaten in the fifth district" he asks.
The chamber amendments provide
for the election Of three supervisors
from the fifth, three from the fourth.
and mayor at large.
Keeping these points in mind, take
1t for granted that three Democratic
supervisors are elected from the fifth,
as undoubtedly the case would be.
Then suppose that the mayor, chosen
at large, is q Democrat-and right
now believe Joe Fern has the strong
est pull. "
There you would have your COM
bination. The mayor and three super
Tisors would be Democrats. They
would be majority and would control
the board. They would have the
power of appointing heads of depart.
ments and would run the city" -.
However, it will be a long time be-
fore any definite action will be taken
on the charter bill. 1t is expected
that the Oahu delegation will meet
tomorrow afternoon for their initial
caucus on the measure.
Republicans to Caucus
Republican members of the Oahu
delegation OF. the house of representa-.
tives and senate were to caucus late
this afternoon with the city charter
bill as the principal object of dis
cussion. 1t is understood the caucus
is strictly party" affair to sound
out the members for their views on
the charter amendments proposed by
the Chamber of Commerce.

sion in the house today relating to
powers Of boards Of supervisors. Ii.
censes to sell milk, board Of agricul.
ture and forestry, regulations Of the

Kelekolio would give TO boards OF

Measures of Doubtful Need or
Merit Tabled and New
Legislation Started

Heads OF house bills were clipped
off and dropped temporarily into the
"morgue" this morning under the
merciless sweep OF committee axes
which already have begun the task OF
wedding out from among the great
mass OF measures those documents
which il Is believed would have but
slim chances of weathering the final
legislative storm of both houses
The first TO 20 by the board was
II. b. 30, KelekOlio's measure for an
appropriation for the IIilo library for
the biennial period. The finance com.
mittee decapitated this measure with
the explanation that the money already
has been provided Mossman's liz,
tie bit Of humor in the form of II. Il.
As was the next to fall beneath the axe
OF the finance committee. This pro-
yides that all persons having five or
more children be exempt from taxa
ton.
Kelekolio's measure to reduce the
fee for Hawaiian birth certificates
from S. to $3.50 also was tabled on rec
ommendation OF the finance commit
tee. The boy orator" from Hawaii
also lost out on II. B. 81, providing
100000 for a public hospital at Hilo,
the measure having been laid on the
finance committee.
Afternoon Sessions Coming
The house this morning settled down
more comfortably into routine work,
bills, resolutions and other measures
coming thick and fast during the two
hours Speaker Holstein, speaking on
behalf OF the press, urged all members
to provide the reporters with copy
of each bin or resolution introduced.
Within few days, the speaker has
announced, the house will begin to
hold afternoon sessions This has not
been done since the opening Of the
legislature.
One of the first money measures
10 come before the house today was
resolution by Representative Kawa-
IA providing for the appropriation Of
$4,000 out OF any available fund for
armories on the Big Island as follows:
Makapala, $4,000; Hawi, $4,000; Ma.
poopoo, $4,000; Pahala, $4,000.
There will be an enormous fund for
armories throughout the territory, and
their equipment, II all the measures
now before the house in this respect
become laws or otherwise take eff,
feet.
A loan shark" measure drifted In
from Representative Kupiheas desk.
This bill makes it misdemeanor for
any person to borrow money and en-.
ter into a negotiation to pay it back
at rate of interest higher than per
cent a month. A penalty of both fine
and Imprisonment is provided for VIC
lators.

.MAlH'S NEEDS.
HEARD BY SOLONS

Recommendations of the legislative
committee of the Maui chamber OF
commerce for legislation directly af-
feeting the Valley Island. but declared
beneficial to the entire territory, have
.heen received yliby members Of the
house OF representatives and are now
being carefully. considered.
The outstanding feature of the re-
concentrations is the proposal for q
Maui belt road to connect up between
the present end Of the Hana-Keanae
road to the Wailuku-K ailua road. The
estimated cost Of this highway is $780,
900. &c..
Following Is brief summary of the
recommendations:
! .Naniku-Kailua road.-The commit
tee believes such q. road would be OF
Immense benefit to the whole terri.
tory on account Of its scenic features.
Road up Haleakala.-This road, in
the opinion of the committee, would
be pruely for tourists and sightseers
and the benefits from it would be par
ticipated in by the territory as a
whole. 1t is believed the road should
be built by the territory as a terrific
rial road.
Lahaina Wharf.-The fact is empha-
sized that ships wharf is very much
needed at or near Lahaina.
Hama wharf.-A suitable wharf is
very much needed at this place, the
committee says.
lao valley road.-It is recommended
that this road be constructed from the
loan fund, as the expense would be
more than the county could appropri-
ate out of its general revenues.
Kula Sanitarium.-Every assistance
from the legislature for the Kula
farm and sanitarium is urged.
County building.-This item urges
the construction of a county building
at Wailuku.
s. Olinda reservoir.-It is proposed
that the reservoir be lined at a cost
OF about $4,000. 49,.
Farm Loan Act-The legislature is
urged by, the chamber to pass a farm
loan act. -.-- IA
The chamber also urges that the
roads through the wet districts of
Maui be paved or macadamized.
