WHY NOT PUBLIC MARKET FOR MAUR

Honolulu has established a municipal market, the idea of which is
to help the people to meet the ever.Soarng cost OF living, and also 20
How the experiment will turn out remains to be seen, but it deserves
to succeed.
least far enough to give the free market idea a fair tyout. 1t is al
most certain that the owners of the old fish market property in Wal
luku would be glad to grant the use of the sheds there for a trial of
the plan, on a merely nominal rental If it developed into anything,
permanent arrangements could be made.
Word comes from reliable sources that the Japanese fish dealers
frequently refuse to buy full catches of fish from native fishermen at
Kihe and other points for fear Of Cutting the markets which they CON
take what the dealers will pay, often ridiculousy low as compared with
the price charged the consumer, and they dare not sell any of their
AT the same time Waikiki and central Maui people are always
hungry for fish. For the little they are able to find the price is
story of one Wanuku womans experience only this week, in which
She was forced to buy without being able to know the price per pound,
pound GUN and a quarter u uua' is tWd IN a news column OF this issue.
This kind of thing is of daily occurrence and is the strongest argument
in favor of some plan by which these prohteers in sea food may posi-
bly, be checked.
And 50 the free market idea. 1t should have the backing of the
invited to bring their catches direct to this market and to sell their
product themselves directly to the consumer, These catches OF fish
or other signal could quickly spread the news OF the arrival Of fish,
and there is little doubt that it would quickly be cleaned up just through
this simple means of advertising.
The Supervisors might provide for distributing surplus fish to
other districts to which it could be quickly taken, and where its com
ing could be announced in advance.
Such arrangement would take almost no preparation, equipment
or time. 1t could be started by a citizens committee or by the super
elaborate if such seemed best, though the greatest success would prob
ably always come from lack of complicated machinery.
line start should be made with fish, because here exists the great
est demand and perhaps the greatest abuse in supplying that demand.
But this should be extended to include all other kinds of produce of
the isand-Vegetabes, fruits, meats etc.
The niddenen or dealers should be kept absolutely out of this
market and the selling should be confined to the producer or some one
acting solely for hin Small stalls should be arranged and a small
rental charged under suitable regulations.
These suggestion are made in the hope that they may be taken Ut
by the people of Maui who are suffering under the present conditions,
and which grow daily worse. There is no doubt that the plan would
succeed if a little intelligent organization were supplied by pubic-spl;t-
ed citizens to get it started. We suggest as the first step a meg g
OF citizens at which the plan may be discussed, and a committee ma ed
to work out the details. o~.

Hard Earthquake Wakes
Sleepers--NOD amageD Done

Hundreds of persons on Maui
were awakened from their sleep be-
tween 2 and $3.50 O'Clock last Satur-
day morning by one of the sharpest
earthquake shocks felt on Maui in
years. The tremblor lasted for sew
eral seconds and caused some alarm
among the more individuals.
No damage has been reported.
The shake was felt in Honolulu
where as reported in the Honolulu
papers it appeared to be two distinct
shocks. If it was also felt on the
Big Island, as seems most likely from
its violence, no mention was made of
it in the Hilo papers-perhaps for
the reason that they are 30 used to
earth shocks over there, and also for
the reason that Hilo people, like those
of San Francisco, are somewhat SEN
sitIp on the subject.

New Pledge To Flag
Proposed By Miss Taylor

Holding that the present pledge is
not sufficiently definite, Miss Bertha
Ben Taylor, supervising principal of
Hawaii, has proposed a new pledge TO
the flag of America, for use in the
public schools. The pledge is as fol
lows:
Flag of our great republic, inspirer
in battle, guardian of our homes,
whose stars and stripes stand for
bravery, purity, truth and union, we
salute thee. We, the children of
many lands, who find rest under thy
folds, do pledge our lives, our hearts
and sacred honor to protect thee, our
country and the liberties of the Amer

LET'S KEEP OUR GOOD ROAD REPUTATION

City Engineer Fred Ohrt yesterday told the supervisors that a
serious situation threatens the city streets unless they soon receive a
coat of OIL Unless the highways were soon treated to oil, he warned
the board, road deterioration would rapidly get beyond the control of
the maintenance fund Honolulu News Item.
Engineer Ohrts warning might well have been applied to Maui.
With perhaps a few exceptions probably all of Mauis oiled roads are
badly IN need of attention. Visitors from Oahu are not so much given
to eAclaiming over the perfection of our thoroughfares as they were
a few years ago. They are more likely to be keeping their mouths
tight shut to avoid losing their teeth-if they wear that kind.
Our roads were unavoidably neglected for several years during
the war, which is all the more reason that unusual effort should now
be made to catch up 1t is much less expensive to keep roads repaired
than to build new ones or to endure bad ones.

1t may be but a singular coincidence, but it is a striking fact never
theless, that since the American Legion adopted its famous resolution
calling upon all American firms in the territory to discriminate in favor
OF American citizens in the matter Of employment, there has been A
tremendous increase in applications for citizenship.

bushes. He wore a duck coat and
Scheller seeing the tan colored OBJ

they heard another shot and found
Scheller dead with the top of his head
blown off. The latter is survived by
his wife and three children.
