The original shareholders Of the Ha-
waiian Electric Company of Honolulu
invested only $500, 100000 at most, prob
ably considerably less but the stock
market value of its property is about
$4,000, 900, is | am m~isinformed.
1t took time, money, risk and much
hard work and personal sacrifice to
demonstrate the earning power now
enjoyed by all these companies. Does
anyone suggest that any but the Is
land Electric Company be forced to
sell at the physical values only, and
of eight years ago, less depreciation?
/ note that you repeatedly refer to
the ownership of the Island Electric
Company as being mine, personally.
1t is only fair to tell you that my in
~terests are very slight, having been
purchased some three years & for
having been left ME in my fathers
will: but the bulk of the ownership
rests in the Island Investment Com
pany, of course, and the greater part
Of the shares of the Island Invest
ment Company is held by trustees I'm
der a trust created for M fathers
estate originally in 1909 or 1910, the
! sole beneficiaries of which at present
are my mother and upon her demise,
my sister and her two children and
my wifi tand three children, all of
whom mayasasily be placed at any mo-
ment in a position of utter dependence
upon the success of the Island Invest,
ment Company for their support.
If l do not arrive in Maui the week
following your receipt of this, l will
probably come a week after that, on
the same boat with the second Diesel
power plant, due in Maui on or about
June 9Th; and IL prevented from com
ing that soon, l ought surely to get
there with, if not before, the big third
Diesel plant.
Mr.. Cooper, l am convinced that in
reality you desire only good, only
justice and fair play, and that as the
truth dawns on the sight Of all of us,
we shall find that there have always
been present in this undertaking only
the elements of good, howsoever OBJ.
scured by the clouds of a material
sense of things.
Very sincerely yours,

AS the result Of a long and costly
experiment of proving Maui, to be a
proper field for the investment origin
ally of what were, and still are, trust
funds in an electric public utility, it
has been demonstrated at least, that
at the extremely reasonable rate
given in the brokers' letter above
mentioned, a very handsome return
would be earned on this amount OF
capital stock, rapidly recovering the
money spent in the experiment and
yielding typical Hawaiian profits and
dividends to the shareholders. Thus,
through an advance in the value of
its remaining shares of electric stock,
the Island Investment Company share
holders might eventually the
lost incurred in donating the stock as
a paid-in surplus to the treasury as
above described.
On the present stock market, H. C.
& S. Co., property, partly by virtue
of it's earning power, is valued at
over $50, 700, 600. 900; but everyone
knows that the original shareholders
actually invested only $685. 10000.

Are you burning coal to warm your
house or outdoors? The high cost OF
heating the modern home, the Goa
shortage and increased prices means
that every shovel full of coal in your
furnace must give forth its house heat
ing equivalent.
The War Savings Division Of the
United States Treasury in accordance
with its national thrift campaign has
made the following timely suggestions
on how to save fuel in heating.
Keep the temperature Of the house at
6S degrees. Save heat by using wealth
or strips. storm windows, storm doors
and drawing shades. Do not heat I'M

The Teacher Shortage

Listen to these figures from The
Chicago High Schools, Mr.. Taxpay
CT, you fellow who have been growl-
ing about the cost of schools!
In 1913 out of 500 girls graduating
from OF leaving the Chicago High
schools, PAT bee ime teachers.
In 1913 out of 500 girls graduating
from OF leaving those schools, only
"a became teachers.
AS that condition prevails every
where, you should not be surprised
when you hear that many schools are
having to close for lack of teachers.
If you want your children educated
SO they will have fair chance in life
you will have to pay enough to teach
ers to get class of women who are
mentally competent to perform this
exacting work.
A good school teacher must have
education, which costs money, also
mental force and originality. The
teaching profession will never be
filled again, until it pays higher sal
aries than the ordinary business po-
sition.
