TO NEW COM ERS

Now and then new conner to Flor
ida complains that he is not getting a
square deal. He finds that iperons
who have something to sell ask too
big price. Land he thinks is held
for more than it i worth. If he wants
to 60 into business he is required to
pay somebody high figure to get out
Of his way.
All this is true here just about to
the extent that it is true of every
other live community. The remedy
is in the hands of the new conner, and
if he exercises good judgment, little
patience and forbearance, and does
not expect too much, everything will
come out right.
The man who comes here to go into
business or conduct farm should
understand that conditions are wholly
different from those in the locality
from which he came. The first task
is to learn these conditions. He
should go slow. He should neither
wholly trust nor distrust the strang-
ers whom he meets, but use his own
Judgment. He should not jump at
conclusions.
Because thing is done differently
here is no sign it is done wrong.
Iowa crops will not grow in Florida,
any more than Florida crops will
grow in Iowa. New England farm
methods will not do here. To succeed
on the soil the settler must adapt his
aims and methods to Florida. It is
the same in every other department.
Nobody would think of going from
Florida to Milwaukee, buying a bus
mess stand over night. and entering
at once on a profitable career. He
would figure that they do things diff
ferentl ythere, and he would stay there
long enough to learn the difference
Florida is land of opportunities
But that does not mean that gold mug
gets are lying around loose. Here, as
everywhere, opportunities must BIZ
improved by hard labor and goot
sense. The promise is held out tt
those who will come and help to built
up the state by developing it's re
sources that they can harvest ricl
reward, and the facts abundantly JUS
tify that promise. Experience hal
shown that the longer a settler stay,
here the better satisfied he is will
his situation.
What more can any reasonable per
son demand.

THE LATEST CATT.ACLYSM

Whether there is any way by which
Governor Cats action in removing
the school board can be thwarted, re-
mains to be seen. The decisions of
the supreme court seem to uphold the
contention that the governor can ar
bitrarily, under the 'contitution, re-
move a public officer, give him no in
timati0n of the cause Of his removal,
fix upon him the stigma of some in
definite NAL or non-feasance, and
then sit back under the protection Of
his official cloak and decline to make
good his intimations. II that is the
law in Florida, 1t is high time its
possibilities of evil were understood
by the people; and there is no better
way to bring this to public attention
than by resistance, by every possible
legal means, to the latest order Of the
governor.
For, If there ever was highland
ed, arbitrary, uncalled-for and unjust
step, 1t was the order of Governor
Cntts removing the school board Of
POLK county. The governor does not
dare to tell the world why he issued
the order. He does not dare to "a

against any Of the gentlemen in

members Of the school board, we'll

repute, have done no wrong. The

THE ELECTRIC SERVICE PROBLEM

,4rdless of how one feels on the matter of inviting n outside
corporation to come to Maui for the purpose of supplying electricity
for lighting and power purposes, certain very practical fact ave to be
considered. The chief of these is the strong probability tn we shall
get service this way, and that we might not otherwise.
1t seems quite certain that the people of Maui could n be a unit
on the proposition to establish a home company. If such We're decided
upon the chances are first class for a split in the community on the sub
Geo This would not only be unpleasant, but would probably result in
weak organization and limited and unsatisfactory service.
The economic tendency in the United States today is towards
Capitalization of public utilities in very large and strong units. In the
mst the public undoubtedly suffered from greedy corporations licensed
to exploit it, with result that for years a bitter fight ragged against pub
lie utilities in general. And the people won out. Today railroads,
lighting, and other service corporations have been brought closely under
control of the people they serve through federal and state laws, and
this control is steadily strengthening. The principle is now very gen
orally admitted that a public utility corporation is entitled to nothing but
a legitimate profit for service rendered; and the larger the corporation
the cheaper and more efficiently a a rule, can it serve .dbic.
Apart from the fact that the Hawaiian Electric Co. has a very
excellent record in recent years for fair dealing, the fact that the people
hold the whip hand is pretty good assurance that it will continue along
the same lines. There is no likelihood tina. this control will ever grow
less.

Our Contemporaries
Only Sauce For the Goose

(Pacifc-C Commercial Advertiser.)
The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States declaring un-
constitutional those provisions of the
War Revenue Act requiring the men,
bers of the court to pay income tax
on their salaries will undoubtedly pro-
woke a cynical grin of the more I'M
fortunate citizens who do have to pay
income tax on their salaries.
OF course the learned justices have
been able to find due warrant in law
for eXempting themselves and the
President from having their salaries
nicked in the same way that ordinary
people do. One can find anything in
the law if he knows how.
But those of us who see Uncle Sam
reach his hand into our pockets and
pull out a very material hunk of our
salaries are not so constituted as to
be able to see with the clarity of a
United States Supreme Justice just
why the latter should be able to evade
payment of income tax while the
school teacher, who is also a govern
ment employe, or the newspaper man,
who works for a living, or the wealthy
plumber or stevedore is required to
pungle up.
We might be lenient enough to
make an exception in the case of the
President, provided we consider him
u%nderpaid, but after all, he is only a
citizen like the rest of us and there
isn't really any good reason why he
should not also be a taxpayer. If he
doesn't get salary enough to be able
to afford taxes, let's raise his salary
and then put him on the same basis
with the rest of us.

NazimOva To Be Seen
In "The Red Lantern

Nazimova, the distinguished Rus
sian star. will be the feature in the
powerful Metro super-feature, THE
Red Lantern" at the Maui theaters
next week. In it she is seen in a dual
role which gives her opportunity for
the most powerful characterizations Of
her brilliant career
The two roles which she enacts are
as widely different as the poles-one
is that of the Eurasian girl, Mahlee,
and the other Blanche, her English
half-sister.
The story tells of the life of this
half-cast girl, who, born in a coffin
shop in the Chinese quarter of Pekin,
is at the death of her grandmother,
taken to the Christian Mission and
brought up amidst European sur
roundings. The conflicting blood
which surges in her veins causes her
passionate craftsmanship feels the
lure of China, the mysterious and
passionate, land of her mother, but
the nheritance of her English father,
the Meals and intellect of the West,
are stApng within her and and she is
like a hall in the hands of fate flung
from one extreme to the other.
How she becomes the powerful War
maiden of Climatic Goddess of the
Red Lanterns shown in this play of
remarkable and startling happenings
where all the mysticisms and gorge
n of the vivid East is woven
into a powerful and fascinating drama.
