The Iiuuor commission should owe straight ahead
on the line of policy which the Judgment and the
experience of its members indicate to be the mosl
effective method for controlling the liquor trade
Certainly the action during the Ia: few months
of the men engaged in the liquor trade demonstrates
conclusivey that their Judgment is not to be trust
ed They are not consistent, they are NOT i"Eal'
and they seem lose sight of the opportunities o.
fered them by the commission to protect their egl
mate business and reduce the illegal sales TO mini
mum.
On AprjI H. 1911 the liquor dealers of the city
addressed a communication TO the license commls'
sion in which they requested regulation enforcing
the early closing of saloons. This communication
closed with this sentence:
ain short gentlemen. the dealers in liquor IN
Honolulu are ready, willing and anxious, dur
ing the continuance of the war. to do every
thing to assist the United States of America"
That sounded we'll and it was accepted in good
faith by the commission aud community
On Nav %, the license commission in its effort
TO control the illegal sale of liquor proposed regu
Iation that Every license shall keep record, in
English, in such form and detail may be required
by the board of all sales of intoxicating liquor sold
for consumption off the premises"
1t will be noted that the commission was then
striving to meet the serious problem of the blind
pigs and illicit sales.
To this proposed regulation the liquor men made
protest stating that they based their objection
not only on the fact that the adoption of the regua
ton would cause the licensees unnecessary expense
and labor, but on the further ground that little or
nothing could be accomplished by its adoption"
Now, the license commission proposes a regula,
ton that so far as can be foreseen, will put seri

bile drivers in the rent service who {, from place

The LiquOrmen's Latest

I8Dd ask the licensees to make record OF the liquor
sold for consumption off the premises
In other words the liquor mems response to the
latest proposed regulation is scheme which they
lin their letter of June declared to be unneces
sarv expense and that little or nothing could be
accomplished by its ddoption.
All this in the face of the fact that the sale of
I"bind pig booze is becoming not alone COM
muDity shame and disgrace but an actual menace
10 our form of government account Of the inabl
lily of the local administration to protect the
of the United States army.
All this in the face of the declaration of April
IL when the liquor men in burst of virtue said
that the dealers in liquor in Honolulu ready.
willing and anxious during the continuance of the
war to do everything to assist the United States of
America
Where is the evidence that these liquor men wish
their sincerity?
What have they done to prevent the illicit sale of
liquor?
What can they show that they have done to call
la halt in the debauch of the soldier in blind pig
joints?
What have they done which gives even shadow
of promise that these men and these interests are
throwing the weight of their influence on the side
of common decency?
They meet a suggested regulation with another
proposal which they have in earlier DAYS brar ded
as useless.
Why does not this show that these men and in
terests are practically in league with the blind pigs
in league with the men and women whose blind pig
joints established to defeat the army regulations
and thus most seriously njure the United States of
America?
The liquor interests. when they play game of
this character, are not paying the square, and
no one knows it better than they, no one senses it
quicker than the liquor men and the blind pig
keepers.
Under such circumstances, there is noting for
the license commission to do but 60 ahead with the
most drastic regulations. ="
The proof that the judgment and suggestion of
the liquor men are not to be depended upon is alb
Solute. :..".

HILO NOT TO GET
DEPUTY MARSHAL

From a communication read before
the members of the board of trade at
q reent meeting. from the pen of Mar.
shall Smiddy. there is littlre cause to
hope for the appointment of deputy
marshal for Hawaii. says the Hawaii
Post. 1t had been the opinion of
many here that such an official
should be appointed, and more espe.
cially since the new liquor law had
gone into effect, a violation of which
would mean that We have no one here
who could directly assume control in
case of such violations
Aside from the liquor question. also,
there had been feeling among the
businessmen of the community that
deputy marshal should be appointed
as the growth of the population and
importance of the island would war
rant such. However. the communica-
ton from the Honolulu marshal
seems to hold out no hopes for an i'm
mediate appointment.

What About The Tenements?

How can Hopolulu improve the condition of the
ments? s..-... . :.
This is not new query, nor are the deplorabie
conditions to be found something TO which intelli
gent citizens have been indifferent. But the ques-
tion has come up in new form and in new places
of late, and the opportunity should not be lost to
make a drive for betterment. This is always pos
sble through arousing the interest Of wider circle
Of citizens ).
Eighty per cent of the children in Honolulu pub.
lie schools come from tenement homes. This state
ment made by DR.. Chang in bis talk before the
Honolulu AID Club was startling to large number.
Others may have heard it before and wondered what
they had to do about it since they did not live in
tenements and did not own any.
Experience shows that the fact must be stated
and restated time without number and then again
before the people will really be aroused The agita
ton must continue without eeasipg if light is to be
let in aud the standard of the home raised TO that
which NAV be considered minimum of light, air,
cleanliness and space to assure selfrespect ano de-
cency as substitute for squalor and dirt.
If one were to go back twenty years for com
parisons, he could find plenty of instances of i'm.
proyement even in Honolulu. tenement districts.
During that period the Palama Settlement with
its splendid influence and help in the crowded sec
ton of the city has become a.permanent community
fixture.
No doubt we have to thank the workers of the
Palama Settlement for the frequency with which
the condition of the socalled homes of the people"
has been brought to public attention.
Cleanliness and right living have a tendency to
become contagious. ~. ...#."
Health and sanitary regulations in the construc-
ton of buildings have brought about improvements
that are revolutionary as compared with what ex-
listed in Chinatown twenty years ago.
The town has advanced. But it still has long
way to 60. -.........
The problem of progress in this particular line is
a large one Everyone is ready to declare that con-

WOULD REGULATE PRICE IF FOODS
 DURING HE MAR
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Absolute authority to regulate in it's discretion the production, distribution and prices of food and other necessities during the war was asked of congress today by the administration.
 In sweeping bill introduced with administration approval by Chairman Lever of the house agriculture commit tee it Is proposed to empower the president. under the war clause of the constitution. to take these measures whenever in his opinion the national emergency shall require:
 To fix maximum and minimum prices for food. clothing, fuel and other necesSaries, and the articles re- qUired for their production; to pre- scribe regulations to govern the pro- ductiOn of these commodities and if necessary to requisition the producing factories, mines or other establish ments;
 To compel holders of necessaries to release them in amounts insuring equitable distribution,
 To regulate exchanges in such a way as to eliminate market manipuIations.
 To compel railroads to give prefer ence to the movement of necessaries:
 To levy such importation duties as he finds necessary to prevent excessive dumping of foreign products. and.
 To impose limitations or prohibitions upon the use of grain in the manufac- lure of liquor
 In addition the secretary of &oricul- ture would be empowered to establish standard food grades, to license and control the manufacture, storage and distribution of foods; to prescribe the percentage of flour to be milled from wheat, and to regulate the mixing of wheat flour with Ocler flour in the making of bread and other food.
 In q statement tonight Mir Lever de- clared there was nothing in the meas ure to disturb legitimate business ac- tiVities because it :s hoped that tt1e mere conferring of rne more extreme new powers will be sufficient WiIhou Its becoming necessary to exercise them"
 It is known that officials of the exc cutiVe branches of the government hold the same view

 The section will he incorporated in a coming third measure which is to con- fer broad powers on the council of na- tional defense.
