H|LOITE DEFENDS PROSPECTIVE
RAISE IN RATES BY MATSON CO,

Under these circumstances, would
it be any wonder that the steamer
is in a position to feel the necessity
OF increasing the freight rate Is
i; not entitled 10 an increase OF !
material amount? This is not said
in defense Gf the Matson Navigation

fe, Island 90. Ii Ia intended oa'' as
q logical argument in favor OF a
square deal all around.
Refused Pines Cargo
Another feature in connection with
the sailing vessels is their refusal to
take back a load OF pines for which
they were offered a charter at a lit
tie more than So per ton, and which
was afterward raised to 81, but tia
Owners refused to touch the pines for
less than So per ton. evidently prefer.
ing to return to the states in ballast
rather than do so for less.
The argument against such pro,
cedure upon the part OF the owners,
was that TO lie at Honolulu for a
dc! or so, and then proceed to San
Francisco for another week, would de.
lay them in their charter for South
America from the Sound country with
load of lumber, for which they were
t. receive the magnificent sum of
81" per thousands feet, or a total Ct
$50 per ton, and that on the return
trip, a load of nitrate would be
brought up at the rate of $40 per ton,
the round trip netting the owners
nearly $4,000. This, they claimed
was the reason for their refusal to
take on any cargo at Honolulu, al
though they were compelled to so ia
that city for oil.
All of which to the ordinary way
of thinking, will justify a material
increase in : the present steamer
freight rate. And what is still more
to the point, there may come a time
before this war is ended when naught
but passenger and mail steamers will
ply between the coast and these is.
lands and then it will be that freight
rates will probably be prohibitive
from the fact that no shipping can
be made. There are those who will
likely treat this suggestion with de-
rlsion and contempt, but the exper.
fence of other countries is a splendid
criterion from which conclusions are
dawn, and think as we may, we
should use every care to guard against
permitting ourselves to be unjust to
any firm that will in all probability,
be the only means of helping us out
of mighty tight hole."'

Vermont, in public addresses, has often
advocated more extensive use of the
drag IN putting the surfaces of ordinary
dirt roads in condition The men who
do the work on the highways in the va
rious towns could see an object lesson
in the use of the drag if they could trav-
ell through New Hampshire and Maine,
where this inexpensive but effective APP
paratus is in general use. Where heavy
teams or automobiles have cut deep
ruts in the roads the drag works like
magic. Maine and New Hampshire are
also both ahead Of Vermont in main
tanning a statewide system of patrol by
men and teams who are employed all the
year round. There is no place where a
- stitch in time saves nine' any more
noticeably than on the highway, where
| q small gulley once started during 8
rainstorm, may tear long section of &
roadway to pieces. Sooner or later Yer
mont will adopt the system of patroline
the roads which is working out so salts
factorily in our neighboring states.
