WAIKIKI RECLAMATION FCRTHER
DELAYED

Governor PinkLam's Waikiki reclamation Schemc,
put before the legislature in strong. straghtfor-
ward message yesterday. proves large in COncep-
ton and intricate in accomplishment that there
is no hope for an early beginning Of the actual field
work
The governor proposes Il territorial commission
Including the superintendent of public works. city
engineer, land commissioner, territorial treasurer,
attorney general, suitable representative of the
beach owners and a representative Of the landOwn-
ers to be selected by themselves" This commission,
under his proposal, is ito make the necessary
veys plans and estimates also to secure, to the
tent possible, the necessary agreement with the land
owners Said commission should be instructed to
prepare and present a detailed report and cOmpre-
hensive scheme to the tenth legislature, session of
1915"
Certainly landowners should find no fault with
such plan, and they lucky that public authority
does not outright condemn the land for drainage
canals and roads on account of the necessity for
claiming this low-lying and periodically flooded
area.
The salient point in the governors plan is that a
commission is to make a twoyear investigation of
Waikiki reclamation, which adds materially to the
l. or Is years this reclamation scheme has been
agtated.
Waikiki duck ponds
The situation now developed is the strongest
possible argument for the emergency appropriation
to divert the waters of the dirty stream flowing
the beach at the Outrigger Club and to divert into
temporary but adequate channels the food waters
which inundate this vast district and seep through
into the residence section below. Kaakaua avenue.
The emergency project before the house finance
committee was materially changed from the original
proposal. 1t was first planned to divert the Aqua
kehau stream waters into the Makee Island chan
mel, bringing them out at Kapolani Park. This has
been entirely given up now and Engineer Harvey,
employed at the expense of publicsprited citizens
has worked out plan for temporary channel that
will carry off the food waters below Fort DE Russy.
The new project will not interfere with the larger
scheme favored by. the governor, and the obvious
fact that at least two years will eapse before even
a report is presented on the general Waikiki re
clamation plan makes il imperative that this legis
lature pass an appropriation for the stream diver
sion and handling of food waters.

A VETO JUSTIFIED.

Supervisor Hatch's brief statement upon city
charter revision published in another column today
puts the facts of the case clearly, strongly, unan-
swerably. 30
IL was not imperative for the Legislature to pro-
ride any old charter because of a supposed public
demand for q Change.
And the charter bill finally passed is bad, it is rot
ten with possibilities for the unscrupulous schemer
Governor Pinkham will be doing service to Ho-
nolulu If he vetoes this BILL and there will be no
General public protest no widespread objection, il
the legislature refuses TO pass the bill his veto
Some noisy claiiof from disappointed ofhcegrab,
bers and from politcar ricksters win rise but the
sound sane, reasonable sense of the community will
support the governor and the legislature if veto is
made and upheld. 1,
For the sound, sane reasonable sense of the com
munity recognizes that Honolulu does not want
tharter revision unless it is unquestionably in the
right direction; recognizes also that there is no
nifty Of programs for revision no meeting upon com
non ground the1e Is much lack Of information, in
the ranks of heecommercial organizations as we'll
n the ranks Of the socalled laboring classes
And With this situation, the best thing to do is
to hold last to the present charter concentrate with
good-humored public spirit upon getting the best
Eorernment possible out of what we have
A veto is justified. A support of the veto is also
Justified

Supervisors Feel
They Are Ignored
By Legislature

The legislature came in for sharp
criticism by the board of supervisors
at meeting of the latter body Tues
day night, the members declaring that
on legislative matters pertaining to
the city and county government the
board was absolutely ignored by the
committees when they discussed them.
The subject was brought up ny Ben
Hollinger. who said that every mem
Der of the legislature seemed to think
he knew everything about city and
county government and refused to
take the advice of the people who
really did know. The committees
when taking up county measures
should invite members of the board to
be present as other people are inFit-
ed, he thought. .:....... ..-..*
Logan also said the various legisla-
tive committees seemed to try to
avoid having members Of the county
government present at hearings. He
suggested that Supervisor Arnold have
typewriter and present to the mem.
bers of the legislature his ideas on
the frontage. tax law and road i'm
provements in general. which met the
approval of the other members.
Hardship on County Government
While on the subject of Tie legisla-
ture, Hatch said the frontage tax law
should be simplified
Representative Cooke is suggest
ing that now the county is getting an
extra one-third per cent taxes 1t
should pay one.third the cost Of all
improvement districts, said Hatch.
This would work great hardship on
the county government and greatly
reduce the amount OF work which
could be done,'' he said. Hatch also
favored increasing the percentage OF
property holders who could kill pro-
posed improvement district to Is per
cent. ....... -...:
Arnold Makes Suggestions
Arnold then took up the discussion
and said the time between steps to
get an improvement district under
way should be reduced. AS an ex
ample he pointed to Kalakaua avenue,
which is now half finished. and the
bonds were only sold last week. Arm
old also favored law whereby the
county could furnish the contractors
with crushed rock and surfacing from
its own plant in lieu of cash. He
wanted to know, too. why church,
schools, park and federal property
should be exempt.

CIT Down DELIVERY PRICES.
(From DAILY FINANCIAL AMERICAN.

From DAILY Financial AMERICA).
Mr.. William Sproule president of the Southern
Pacific Go. was recently in Baltimore. As a visitor
he was impressed by the spectacle of men and
women, with baskets on their arms, making their
purchases OF meat and vegetables in the markets
and stores of that city, The majority of Baltimore
residents 60 to the markets and stores and buy
direct thus saving telephone and delivery service,
10 say nothing of the saving gained through the
personal selection of goods The cause of the high
cost of living is not, in Mr. Sproues opinion, trans
pcation 1t is the habits of the people themselves
and the artificial needs they have created for them
selves and to which trade is merely. responsive.
When we buy a simple article in fancy package
we are eating less food and more package for the
same money. When we buy pound of tea that we
order by telephone pay for the telephone and for
the automobile which delivers the goods We are in
other words, getting less for our money.
minister, lamenting in the pulpit that some
people refuse to give to the support of churches
the ground that they cannot afford it, read figures
which showed that the average person spends from
twenty to twenty-four dollars for unnecessary ari-
cles and amusements today for every dollar that
he gives to the church. Such illustration would
have been unavailable decade or two ago Our per-
sistent tendency to transform artificial needs into
actual necessities is undoubtedly the chief stimuIa
ton for prices There will be no effective relief for
the highcostoflivng problem until We simplify our
tastes

THE GRAND JURY MIGHT ACT.

The Star Bulletin believes that little grand jury
activity would smash the alleged corner on rice
in Hawaii, and If there is any way of exposing a
combination which tries to hold up isolated com
inunity for food during war-times il should be cx
posed "Pitiless publicity" will break almost any
unfair combination in restraint of trade
Imitation Of local prices for rice is not justified by
the general market. For instance, an item in the
San Francisco News Bureau, financial and bust
ness publication, dated April 8, 1917-nne days
ago-says: t.,
"WILLJoWS, CaL-Thomas, Stephens and Mattel, the
grain buyers OF Woodland and Willows purchased
from the Superior California Farm Lands Company
1000 900 pounds Of rice at 81 hundred This is
the largest purchase of rice made here and cleans
out all the companys last season CROP
1t is reported that the local price dropped to So a
bag. Whether natural causes sudden timidity
BY the supposed manpulators is responsible for this
may be left to conjecture. grand jury might find
out. -. -. .>-.-. .....

WAR AND AMERICAN BUSINESS.

(I3y HENRY CLEws New York Banker)
suspend is ended and the United States has def.
iniiely entered the war on behalf of democracy and
political freedom. That is the issue which unites
IN nations against the German government; for, as
has alrebdy been said, it is not the German people
against whom we are waging war; but its cruel sub
marine and mlitaristic methods. President Wilson,
however patient he may have been in taking deci.
sve action has at last met the situation in bold and
patriotic fashion. His address to Congress will go
down into history as one of the strongest ablest and
Ioftiest political documents on record, and will
1nk with some Of Lincoln's most revered addresses
on great occasions The whole country is earnestly
and enthusiastically behind the president and this
var win undoubtedly be pushed with unrelenting
<gor.
Ordinarily war means initiation, but the evident
purpose Of current legislation and government ac-
ton will be I'd check this as far as possible Indus.
trials are not likely to be fayorably affected by pro.
posas TO tax profits; are commodities likely to
soar indefinitely under repressive government regu.
lation or the patriotic efforts of many large indus
trial concerns to sell at low prices to the govern
ment. Inevitably both foreign and domestic buyers
will seek similar concessions. High prices are al
ready checking consumption of many commodities
causing substitution for different articles or switch
ING over to inferior grades and this tendency will be
accelerated in spots War may cause a sudden and
imperative demand for some articles though in the
long run consumption will not be largely increased
For some articles the demand will positively
diminish. Even in steel, which goes into munitions
more extensively than any other article the ncreas.

ate fraction of the total national output For pc

expected while industry and trade are being mobi-
