The Saga @Pearl Harbor.
From, the Boston Transcript.

The official opening of the great drydock Of the United States
navy at Pearl Harbor, for which ceremony Secretary Daniels went to
Honolulu, marks the successful completion of one of the greatest
engineering enterprises ever undertaken by our government, upon.
which work has been in progress for 10 years. 1t also marks the
elimination of an interesting series of diplomatic, political and some
Tunes military operations covering a period of A years.
II was III 1879 that the United States first made a treaty of CON-
a radical new departure in American relations with those mid

The world is fast becoming aware OF the

without answering when somebody
asks him what's goins to be doing for

this morning, however, that five

Jazz ever yminute, and that there
would be an entertainment provided
that would DO a classy one all the way
There will be plenty of good things tc
eat for the boys. and lots of pipes, to-
bacco and cigarettes. There won't be
anything formal about 1t at all-every-

other objections to the bill which are
herein enumerated. call attention to
the above provision OF our constitution,
which believe would be violated by
the provisions Of this bill, and the bill
would therefore probably be held in
valid when passed upon by the courts.
CANNOT APPROVE METHOD.
Il cannot approve the method of vot-
ing on bond indebtedness provided for
in this bill, which permits every quail
flied voter who is resident Of the
district to vote upon bonding the dis
trict for this purpose. If the proposed
power and irrigation district were to
furnish the power service and the
lighting service as an incident to the
main purpose of furnishing water for
irrigation, then it would not be harm
full. However, under this bill, the main
purpose could be the furnishing and
developing Of power, and the matter
of furnishing water for irrigation be
only incidental thereto, and in such
case the land owner in the district
would be subjected to assessments ac-
cording to benefits for this power serv-
ice and for the development and fur
nishing of the power when the special
benefits that his land would receive
would me a minimum. Yet, under this
bill, the district might bond for a huge
amount of money for the purpose Of
developing power to sell to people out
side of the district, and in such cases
n thew did mako that the main p1rpose
and build plants and works for the sale
and distribution of power outside of
the district and should fail to make a
success Financially. then the little land :
holders within the district. some of
whom might have protested all through
against entering into the district and
who under the provisions of this bill
were forced TO remain in the district.
would be liable to lose their property
through assessments levied to carry
on the plant.
sIn prjnciple IF the main purpose of
the formation Of anv particular dis
