KEWALO CLA|MSB|LL
SCORED BY GODFREY
Measure Is CamoufIaged To Blind
the Eyes Of the Legislators,
He Asserts

House Bill No. 8, which is an amend
mcnt of the act Of 1917 to pay claims
that arose for damage done in making
the Kewalo fill, is measure "cam-
ouflaged so as to blind the eyes of the
Legislators to the qualification of Act
1867, according to Frank Godfrey
A claim he presented to the house last
week on behalf of Alice F. Metcalf
for a balance of $342 said to be due
to her has been denied
The proposed measure, Godfrey saws,
is designed to open the door to un-
listed unapprovrd and not sworn to
claims now barred by the original act
providing for the payment Of Kewalo
claims, but which the KeWalo com
mission has in its possession and de
sirrs to pay out Of a balance which
justly should he distributed among
claimants already approved - He says
the names and amounts of these claims
have not been made public by the com
mission, and it has not stated the
amount Of balance in hand from the
original $4,000 appropriation.
The claim Godfrey is supporting ori-
ginally was for $3.50 for damage done
to Mrs. Mctrulf'S property. The claim
was referred by the 1917 Legislature to
the comm SSinn which made a partial
award of $G0S, leaving an unpaid bal
anrc of $342. in the petition to the
legislature it is said the full claim was
not paid as Mrs Metcalf was given to
understand by the commission that all
Of the appropriation of 10000 had
been expended.

Fish Market System
Scored In Letter
To Food Commission
Gross Manipulation Profiteering
and boarding Charged BY Jo-
seph K. Clark; WELDING Of CUT
lery Adds Unduly To Cost .

" Et'E+eFB5FH II. sh1f5 ~ ~ n ~
Gross manipulation, profteering and
hoarding.in the selling Of fish in Homo
lulu is charged by Joseph X. Clark
in a communication he has addressed to
the food commission following an
efforts he made at the recent public
hearing of the commits sinn to lay
charges before the body. AZ hat time
he was asked to- put his eomrlainI ID
writing. e -+lts,s y ~
Charges assessed in the hshtmarkets
for the dressing of fish are wholly IN
justified, Clark contends, and inshhnoft
of this he points out that the, addition.
al charges made for dressing vary
greatly with different varieties of FISH.
The system prevailing at tho market,
the writer says, is unreasonable and
outrageous.
Gives Examples
He refers to the purchase Of an
elaula listed whole at twentvfour
cents and purchased May weigh ne
three and three-quarter pounds for
ninety cents. The dressed carcass
weighed two and three quarter ponds
and the waste matter one pounl and
being eliminated sent the cost Of tho
fish to $1.04h, a margin of fourteen
and aihnlf cents or four cents = pound
for the Use of the carving knife
"Pakapaka, another species" he
says, "treated to the same formula
costs nineteen cents whole and thirty
cents dressed, and netted the carver
over three cents a pound for msrely
dressing the fish.
Estimating an ulua, hapuupuu, oil
kahala at sixteen cents whole Fnd
twenty-six cents dressed, they will het
the carver three cents a pound IN akr
at eight cents a pound whole and
thirteen cents dressed nets only ont
and half cents a pound for the same
operation"
A Fair Question
TIs there any valid reason" he ask
the commission, "why these ishe
should cost the consumer a giltegdt
price for the mere use of cuterly
They grow to large size, too large 70
the ordinary -family's use, and there
fore must be sliced to be available bu
why such premiums3
"The oio, near shore species
abundant in these waters and raugh
at the least expense, is listed whole a
twenty cents aud sold in chunks a
thirtyt-wo and half cents, netting tn
carver over five cents a pound
"Can the food administrator. tn
writer asks. "enlighten the public II
to why kumu, moano and especially u
should cost the consumer the exorbit
ant price of twenty eight and hal
cents a pound, an excess of four and
half cents a pound as against MULE
i listed at twenty-four centsPi -
The present classification and pricih
of certain of the near shore specie
means extreme discrimination agains
other species from the same source an
against the pond fisheries, Clark asserts
With his communication the write
forwards to tho commission a pricin
list which he suggests affords a fai

TELLS OF WAR
RISK INSURANCE
Lieut.. Gail Richardson, Writing From
Near indianapolis, Tells Of War
Risk Insurance
A WISE AND JUST PROVISION
insurance Bureau, Has Written Thirty
five Billions of Insurance Dur
d, ing the Past Year

At the request of the Review, Lieut..
Gail R. Richardson, post insurance Of
Eficer at Fort Benjamin Harrison, near
indianapolis, Ind, has written an ar
Ificle in regard to the war risk insur-
ance which will be of interest to read
ers of this paper who have boys in the
service. The article follows:
The following information is taken
from record which is on file in the post
insurance office at this cantonment,
representing the tremendous and i'm
kportant work that the bureau OF war
|risk insurance has done during the
lpast year.
On Oct. 5, 1917, President Wilson
approved the bureau of war risk insur-
ance act In the twelve months just
ending the bureau has mailed more
than six and one-half million checks
in payment of allowances and allot-
ments, representing total disburse-
ment of almost $200,000,0O0 for the
care and maintenance OF the families
and dependents of our fighting men.
These wise and just provisions
reach to every corner of the land. Ap-
proximately one million checks a
month are now being mailed regular
ly to maintain this protection.
In the year past the bureau has
written nearly thirty-five billion dol
lars of this insurance or approximate
ly as much ordinary life insurance as
there was outstanding with all the life
insurance companies in the world at
the beginning of the year Our army
and navy are more than 80 per cent
insured and new applications are now
being received for more than q billion
dollars of this insurance per week.
The bureau has made awards and is
paying monthly compensation on more
than 5000 death and disability claims,
and it is paying monthly installments
of insurance on more than 5000 insur-
ance death claims.
|. In the performance of this task the
bureau has within the year handled
nearly three million nine hundred
thousand insurance applications and
more than three million eight hundred
Thousand allotment and allowance
forms, and it has been necessary to
prepare and maintain under constant
control more than twenty.six million
separate individual card records. The

DEATH AFTER A
YEARS ILLNESS
Miss Faithe Hoffman, Daughter Of
Rev. and Mrs. S. j. Hoffman, OF
Vail Victim of Tuberculosis
PASSES AWAY LAST TUESDAY
During Long illness the Deceased Was
Patient and Uncomplaining Sut-
ferer-Youne Lady of Ability

! VAIL, Nov. 1S-(Special to the Re-
tview)--The death of Miss Faithe Hoff.
man of this city occurred on Tuesday,
November 18th, after lingering i'll
ness of nearly year. Faithe Eunice
was the eldest daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. s. j. Hoffman, and was born at
| Newton, Iowa, Nov. IA. 1896. She
was baptized March 5, 1909, by Rev.
Cafr of Cherokee, and united with the
church March 7th, following. She was
a graduate Of the high school at Row
an, in 1915, and spent the two years
following in teaching school. While
engaged as an instructor in the public
schools of Vail, last winter, her health
became impaired and later tuberculos-
is developed, which claimed her as it's
victim. In the summer she spent
three months at the state sanitarium
at Oakdale, but it was of no avail and
in September she returned home.
During her illness she was patient
and uncomplaining, always cheerful
and hopeful. Everything that beloved
parents could do, was done to prolOng
her life, but her mission in life was
fulfilled and she was called to her rest.
In the home and church circle
Faithe's place can never be filled. Her
willingness to serve others was her
first thought. She was girl of un-
usual ability, always taking an active
part in Sunday school and church
work. Her sweet voice and pleasant
smile will always be missed by those
who knew her and to know her was
to love her.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
parents. her fiance, Howard Park, of
Ames, her brother, Ivan. and two Sis
ters, Hope and Bernice, also her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Hoffman,
of Scranton, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. M.
Ball, of Ames, and a host of relatives
and friends. The funeral was held at
Vail on Teusday, conducted by Rev.
Lester, of Carroll, and the remains
were taken to Ames for interment,
November 1t4h, on her twenty-sec-
ond birthday. Is
Those from distance attending the
funeral were: Howard Park, OF Camp
Pike, Ark; "A. p. Ball, Ames; Mr.. and
Mrs. j. r. Huffman, Mr.. and Mrs.

The work of the bureau during it's

this civil relief act to take the steps
necessary on behalf of men in active

they make application for the benefits
of the civil relief act, provided their
contracts of insurance come within
