child labor law TO be invalid, he in
troduced IN the Senate an amendment
which provided among other things
that any executive or Judicial officer
who In his official capacity should deny
the cOnstltutlOnality Of the act should
ipso facto yacate his office. The the
ory Of such statesmen Is that the leg
islatlve branch OF the government IS
the only authority competent TO pass
upon the validity Of the laws enacted
by Itself. In almost every State Con-
stltutlon there are specific prohibitions
affecting the action OF the Legislature
which would be wholly Intellectual In
case the courts were without power
TO nullify any legislative action taken
In disregard or defiance OF the high
est expression Of the peoples will.
The most formidable promoters OF
the judicial recall, however, In the
judgment OF the committee OF the
American Bar Association, are the
leaders OF a new political organlzal-
tl0n In the northwest known as the
Non-Partisan League. "Its creed and
platform are based upon abrogating
constitutional protection and elimiat
ng the primary functions Of courts |
Of justice, whether State or national. |
In other words, 1t advocates judicial
recall in It's worst forms" This move |
ment, which has come TO be exten- !
slvely known as pOwnleyism, from The |
name Of the principal agitator, is |
threatening the Judiciary |
and IS all the more dangerous because |
It's real purpose in this respect Is not |
manifest to the ordinary voter. II Is /
TO be assured that the |
legal profession is aware OF its men
acing activities and is taking effec-
tive measures TO cOunteract them.
II the American Bar Association
had done nothing else, IL would be
entitled TO a large measure Of public /
gratitude for the work Of It's commit
Ice to oppose judicial recall. New
York is represented on the committee
by Judge Alphonso II. Clearwater OF
Kingston, formerly County Judge Of
Ulster county and Justice OF the Su-
1reme Court. Among his legal breth-
,rn he is as well known and highly
'egarded for his ability and learning
IS he is among laymen for his emf
tent public services.

Recent crop reports from Hungary, Roumania and

be supplied with grain from these sources as weather

Even the extreme loyalists in the two empires have
grumbled the decreasing food rstons and the
disguntled have only been kept in line by military
threats combined with promises of big harvest.

rerritory PAYS Moro

Territory Pays More
As is easily noted, the raise Of prices
to the city has been at the rate of
twenty-five cents cubic yard, while
lho raise asked of the Territory, as
shown by bills in the public works Of
fee, has ranged from thirty to thirty
five cents cubic yardL
Formerly the Territory was paying
Sl.65 a yard for No. 3 grade and $l.90
for No !. Bills rendered recently show
that No 3 is now billed at $l.95 and
No. at 1920.
City Engineer A. s. Cantin says that
the city does nearly all of its carting
and so the price charged for hauling by
the draying company does not affect the
city bills However, others say that
the city is being "gOuged' by hauling
charges, and that the city does not do
all of its own carting or at least only
for street patching jobs.
The city engineer says the price OF
stone from the quarry will not by any
means add to the cost of belt road con
struction as quarry will have to be
opened on the other side of the Island
for this proposed road work.
However it is not so much the price
of stone at which the investigation is
aimed, but at the fact that the Homo
hIu Construction and DTaying Com
pany now controls all of the available
building rock in Honolulu and how 1t
exercises such control.
City Steps Out
Even some OF those closely connect
ed with the city government did not
know until after the report OF the In
vcstiGation was published in The Ad-
vertiser that the city no longer opeT-
atcd its quarry at MoiiiH. No rock
has been taken out by the city since
April or May, 1915, 1t Is said, and the
city $ lease on the quarry site expired
about July !, this year, about the same
time there was an increase in the price
asked for rock.
Estate Criticised Slf',i il. ~
There is some criticism of the Bishop
Trustees in the manner it which John
Wilson was forced out of the quarry
business at Moiliili, where he was oPer-
ating under a contract from Jap
anese WHO held lease from the Bishop
Estate.
Friends of Wilson claim that this
leased part of the quarry was permit
ted by the Bishop Trustees'tO come in
to the control Of the Honolulu Construc-
tiou and Draying Company without
Wilson being given an opportunity for
competitive bid. In fact II Ii as
serted that the first Wilson knew he
was going to be forzen out Of the quar-
rv was when he received a letter from
the Bishop Estate telling him the lease
had been given to another, name un-
mentioned, after an open bid.
Forced to Move
Wilson was forced to move his rock
crushing equipment 70 vacant lot at
cost Of about $4,000 because he was
unnble to get site TO set 1t up where
other stone could be taken out? His
friends say that an effort of Will
snm's to open another quarry was
bloeked by the payment of an "Out-
PsGcoqsIv high sum-, the owner Of
soRe land on which there was. plenty ot
rock.
