Big Business i'm Treasurer's Office

That County Treasurer Christen
and his deputy Mr.. Seim have been
handling a lot of money since the
first of the year there is no doubt by
the following:
The general taxes taken in dur
ing January amounted to s24,0SS.42;
during February s51,002.4l and
March $311.307.17.
For the same three months they
took in auto fees the following:
January, s24,426,s0; February
s1O9S.9G and March S19S7,9O,
The amounts paid out for the first
quarter of the year are no small
ones. either and were paid out as
follows:
For school orders, $105,O44.S2;
for township roads, s5T,409.59; for
corporations $SS,O56.13 and the
state sS6, 6,507.24.

If the federal suffrage amendment
is finally ratified by the necessary
thirty six states 1t means that there
will be an addition OF at least $780,
O06, 900 per year in taxes levied upon
the people of the United States. This
is the minimum cost of merely regis
tering the votes of about quarter of
the adult women in America.

Beautiful Dress Samples
At Grand Hotel

Mrs. Marion Drake of Honolulu is
stopping at the Grand Hotel. She is
on business IN connection with the
Mail Order Dept, of the Liberty
House but declares she has found the
people of Maui SO charmingly cordial
that she is convinced that they are
trying to make her visit a pleasure
trip.
Mrs. Drake is anxious to meet and
become acquainted with the ladies of
Maui who shop by mail and learn how
she can give them the best service;
particularly to impress upon them
that she is deeply interested in seeing
that they get what they want, and
gives her personal attention to the or
.ders which come into the Liberty
House. She feels that she has been
working in the dark and that person
ally to know the appearance and
tastes of her customers will enable
her to moro surely satisfy them.
Mrs. Drake has with her samples OF
al the now summer goods and novelty
silks and will be glad TO display them
TO any who are interested. A number
of new and lovely evening gowns, also
some afternoon effects will arrive Sat
urday morning which will also be
placed on exhibition. She is see

SPORTS
Dispute May Prevent
Final Basket Contest

1t is possible now that the final
basket ball match between the Maui
high school girls team and the Wal.
luku Gym team will not be played off.
AS things now stands these two teams
are tied in the series in which the
Maunaolu seminary was also a con.
t%estant, the seminary having lost to
both the other teams. The bone of
contention is over an indoor or an
open air game.
The Highs want to play on an open
court, while the Gyms hold out for the
indoor game. Both teams probably
have an advantage in their particular
style of court. The school girls have
had all their practice out Of doors
and are necessarily handicapped by
walls which keep the ball in close play
and necessitate a very fast game. On
the other hand the Gym girls are used
to this kind of play and are not used
to the lack of walls. Besides some Of
the girls of the Waikiki team, it is
claimed, cannot get away to play dur
ing the day time.
Whether or not the dispute can be
amiCably settled and the championship
game played is now open to question.

4 NATIONAL PROGRAM
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS

The following is the program of the
United States Bureau Of Education in
its Nationwide campaign for better
schools with special reference to the
improvement of country schools:
l.. A minimum school term of not
less than 100 days.
.. A sufficient number of teachers
adequately prepared for their work.
3. The consolidation of rural
schools where practicable, and where
impracticable to make the one-teach-
err school the best it is possible to
make it by placing therein an ade-
quately prepared teacher.
4. The teachers home and the
demonstration farm of five or more
acres as the property of the school and
as an illustration for the community
in better homemaking and in better
farming.
5. An all-year session of school
adapted to local conditions-schoOl
home projects similar to the work
which Superintendent E. j. Tobln has
carried to such a signal success in
rural Cook County, Ill.
6. Community organization with
the public school building as a social
and civic center.
Z. Free county public libraries
similar to the California plan.
s. A high school education for
country boys and girls that will al
low them to secure such education
without breaking home ties.
g.. Such readjustment and reforma-
ton of the course of study in elemen-
tary and secondary rural schools as
NJ II p1pnt thnDn To tho 1iy-pC nf fhn
people they are to serve.
10. The elimination of i~lliteracy.
II. Better civic and patriotic in
cans of all who live under the Stars
and Stripes.
IL. The conservation of rural
health.
10. Good roads as related to better
rural schools and the improvement of
country life conditions.
II. The needs of the farm woman.
Is. Federal aid in cooperation with
the States in carrying cut the fore
going program to it's ultimate success.
The first eight of these problems
were announced by Commissioner
ClaXton at the Nashville conference,
November, 1915. The world war and
after-war conditions have forced these
additional problems int" our program
with a demand that we make an hon
est effort toward their solution. If
there was ever a time when educa-
ton was the chief defense of nations,
that time Is now. If there was ever
a time when our people should have
q proper national appreciation of the
value of education, that time is now.
1920 will be education year. 1t be-
gins a 10-year, nationwide campaign
for better schools, with special refer
to the Improvement of rural
schools. The purpose of this cam
paign must be to educate the people
to a full understanding and apprecia-
ton of the absolute necessity of edu-
cation. We must educate or we must
perish. Education is our surest stay
in every storm, our present safety, our
future hope-the very citadel of our
influence and power" The people
must realize that the more the nation
and the States pay for education, the
richer and more powerful We shall
become as a Nation, as States, and as
a people; and that this truth will be
ten times more important in the flu
ture than it has been in the past

The Public Utilities Commission will
be appealed to by the Merchants and

to the frequent cessation of electric
light and power in this city. ii was
decided yesterday at meeting of the
special committee appointed to in
vestigate the situation. General Coun-
sci NJ. D. Rosenberg and Secretary
Charles j. Columbus were designated
as a committee to discuss the shut
downs with officials of the commits
sion.
The letter of President William Ham
of the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany. addressed to the association, in
answer to a letter sent him by the
committee, was read and discussed.
Mr.. Ham stated that the accidents to
the service were "deplorable," but not
wholly unexpected" in view of the
demands on the electric service, but
gave no assurance to the committee
that the same thing might not again
happen in the future.
It was on these grounds that the
committee decided to take further
action in the matter by appealing to
the Public Utilities Commission.

respective registration and voting
laws.

pared valuable data regarding the
state registration and election laws,

turn to their home states has had no
noticeable depressing or disappointing
effect upon voters thus far. He said
he was greatly impressed with the
spirit being shown by the men and
women, especially the latter. He has
yet to hear one person say he or she
would abandon the trip home" be-
cause of the turn-down by the rail-
