AMENDING \ MESS.

Advocates OF city charter revision are confronted
With various courses to pursue before the legislature
The three ways most generally discussed are: 5:
1. Trying 10 secure amendments to the present
charter. -
g. Using the charter drafted by the special char
Ter commission a basis for discussion.
g. Starting with the shOrt-balloi charter pro
posal of the Municipal Research Clue, which is in
tIorsed by many Honolulu citizens, and using its
main features the basis for legislat tive action.
Either the first or the last method offers hope for
progress. The second offers hope for nothing but
proitless discussion and the probability of going
back instead of forward.
The Star Bulletin has often expressed the views
which an outnumbered and tricked minority of the
late charter commission voiced-that the charter
draft which the commission produced is a rotten
piece of reactionarism. That draft will be reported
the Legislature with the Endorsement Of the alleged
majority of the commission ..
1T does not offer a basis for reasonable argument.
IT should not be accepted, even temporarily, by the
specal charter committee representing the CONNER
cia bodies, which committee is getting down to
work. The special committee ought 10 bring in a
flean,cuts constructive program It cannot do this
by trying to patch up the politics, ridden produe-
ton of the peliticsridden commission. Amendments
10 this document will only make the thing worse.

an aviation squadron for Hawaii. the
headquarters CT which are to be at
Fort kamehameka
This was indicated in the orders OF
the war department issued yesterday.
in which Capt, Iohn F. Curry, Signal
Corps, is ordered to Oahu To form and
command the squadron Of fliers.
Capt, Curry, who is first lieu
tenant OF infantry. is BOW with the
list Aero Squadron at Columbus, New
Mexico.
Capt. Henry II. Arnold, Signal
Corps. who IS Eow at the aviation
school, San Diego. has also received
orders TO leave for STATEN at Panama,
there to form ard command an avia-
ton squadron.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-01-13

Information just received from the
mainland is that the squadron to be
sent to Hawaii will be known as the
9Th Squadron, and indications are that
the war department will spare no eff.
forts to make a big aerial base here.
1t is said that the Hawaii squadron
and one for the canal zone are to be
formed within the next two months.
Capt Thomas :. Bowen, aviation of.
ficer, Signal Corrs, has been selected
for command Of the new third aero
squadron at San Antonio, but the CON-
mander of the fourth squadron at that
place has not yet been announced.
These two are row being organized.
Hydroaeroplanes will be sent to this
station as already predicted in the
Star-Rulletin.
Orders have been issued for a large
number Of men to 60 into training for
aviation work, and two mainland avn
alton schools are to be moved farther
south for the remaining winter
months. These will go to South Caro-
lima and Tennessee. ii
1t is believed that the forces here
will be strengthened by the sending
of at least two observation balloons
in the not too distant future. These
would probably be of the sausage
shaped appendage type and would be
able to float above Oahu's> highest
mountains.
