Llfeboat Made of Rasket-Work.

A basket-work Ifeboat seems very frail and delicate for the hard work of getting through rough seas to a ship in distress yet boat of this type has just been invented, and it is claimed that it gives greater safety, than the usual kind
 The wooden framework of the boat is covered with a cork lining, and over that is laid an outer cover .Of woven cane. It is said that the new boat floats better than the boats now in use, and that it impossible for it to sink.
 The basket Iifeboat is so light and springy that it is less likely to be crushed by swinging against the side of a ship or by the buffeting of the waves.

REPEAL TAX ON TRANSPORTATION REED ASKS SENATE TO REMOVE LEVY ON TELEGRAMs, BUT
 MOTION FAILED. GUM IS ON FREE LIST AIM OF SENATE TO PUT END TO MANY LEVIES BY FIRST
 OF 1922.
(weAsrn Newspaper Union News serice.)

(WeAern Newspaper Union News SerVice.)
 Washington.-AdOp by the Sen- ate of the Republican compromise plan for repeal of all the transporta- ton taxes on next Jan. was cOmplet- ed with the acceptance without a dis senting vote of an amendment remov- ing the tax on parcel post packages. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, sought to extend the repeal to levies on messages by telegraph, telephone, cable and radio, but his motion was voted down, 32 to 26.
 Committee amendments to the bill accepted included those imposing li- manufacturers taxes of 2 cents a gal lon on cereal beverages, still drinks and unfermented fruit juices; 715 cents a gallon on finished fountain syrups, and cents a pound on carbOnic acid gas.
 Until the chewing gum tax was reached the Senate made fairly rapid progress on the bill. But there it stuck for nearly two hours with a dis cussion of chewing gum, tariff and other subjects. A Republican prOpos- al to repeal the 2 per cent tax on this gum was opposed by Senator Reed, who said the Senate had voted to re- tain $28,500,000 in taxes upon senders and receivers of messages by wire and radio, while it was proposed 'to re- fund one twenty-eighth of that amount to Wrigley."
 "Who made this bargain?" asked Senator Reed with reference to the compromise plan to knock out the chewing gum tax. "Who overturned the action of the committee? When was it agreed to? It demands an ex- planation when a gentleman can es- cape $1,OO0,0O0 in taxes on something that is useless and worthless. What was the influence that reached behind the doors and took the tax off Mir. Wrigley?"
 Senator Watson, Republican, Indi- ana, said the information before the finance committee was that factories of the American Chicle Company were closed down and that the removal of the tax had been suggested to get those plants started up again. He de- clared that so far as the committee knew, ''Mr. Wrigley" did not care about the tax; that he never had asked that it be removed.
 Those in charge of the bill explained it would be advisable to wait until the Senate had passed on the excess profits repeal and other major pro posalS before finishing with the mis- cellaneous taxes, as it might be neces- sary to raise more revenue from these sources than the committee had con- templated
 Chairman Penrose of the finance committee, announced that as soon as the peace treaties were disposed of he would ask unanimous consent for a final vote on the tax bill.
 'I look," he said, "for all amend ments suggested by the finance com mittee and those accepted by the ma jority of Republican members to be part of the bill. No amendments from the minority or any other source will have any show.
 ''The bill doubtless will be improved in conference"

JURORS TO BE A

One of the particularly unfortunate effects which the election
# this week leaves behind it is the difficulty it will occasion when
the next jury is drawn. Under the law the jurors must be selected
from the great register, from the list of the voters at the last gen
eral election. That list will be a meager one, only about half what
it would be ordinarily. \ second law provides for the striking from
the great register of the names Of all those who did not cast their
ballots at the general election.
At the primary election a reasonably full vote was cast but on
Tuesday, Judging from the meager official returns that have been
compiled there were not more than so percent as many voting as at
the primary. AS a matter of fact it is fortunate that even so many
voted since there was but the one name on the ticket and the only
mducement to vote was to avoid a subsequent re-rcgistration a year
from the coming fall. Probably there were as many as 1900 to 400
voters of both sexes at the Tuesday election. OF such voters there
was a proportion of women and so it is evident that the list of pos
sible jurors will be a meager one. Thus those who did not go to
the polls have been unintcntional jury sackers.
The present election law has proved a costly one for Maui in
money already expended at the farce Tuesday, money that will have
to be expended at the next registration and time that will be lost
by voters and officials before the next territorial election. And to
such cost will be added Inconvenience III the conduct of the court
and the trial of cases when a new jury has to be drawn. To their
credit be it said that county officials did all in their power to avoid
holding an election to fill an office for which there was not and could
not be "a contest. MI. Cockett desired that there should not a shadow
of a question on his right to hold the office to which he has been
chosen and he had citizens right to insist that the law should take
its course but could he have seen his way to facing the remote pos
sibiity of later quo warrano proceedings it would have been well
for Maui County.

MAUI SWIMMING MEET

To a people living in Islands far out in the ocean it is natural
that aquatics should have a special appeal. The water is a part
of their environment. In the old days the Hawaiian were famed
for their swimming, surfing, diving and nautical abilities. Today
Hawaii is more famous in swimming sports than is any other locality
of an hundred times its area. Yet Maui has fingered behind her
sister Isles in aquatics in recent days until now there has come an
awakening. With dimpled hands she is rubbing the sleep out of her
eyes and tomorrow evening the drowsiness will have been banished.
Maui is going in for swimming now and in the near future she
will take up the oars and compete with her sisters in boating as
well. From the funds raised from swimming meets there will be
built a boat house or boat houses and there will be bought barges
and shells, but that is still in the ofing. With the same energy back
Of the proposal as has engineered the swimming meet to be held to-
morrow evening it is sure to come into port soon.
AS an exercise there is none to be found, especially in this eli
mate, so healthful as swimming. AS a sport it is clean, stimulating,
lvigorating and exciting. 1t has advantages that other pastimes
Innot offer and has none of the disadvantages under which other
sports labor. AT the outset it enables one to care for himself or
herself in case of accident when travelling by boat. 1t produces a
healthy body and nothing is so conducive to a healthy mind as is a
healthy body.
Congratulations of all Maui are due to the men who have worked
0 tireeSsly for the success of tomorrow nights affair. 1t means
0e than this one meet for now, in advance of its holding, plans
We been started for another meet at fair time this fall which will
lie the glory that is now being won. For a time Maui must follow
i the wake of Honolulu and the Big Island in aquatics but Maui

tr up with and perhaps ahead of the present leaders in the best
port Of the Islands.

HAWAII'S NEXT GOVERNOR

Now that President Harding has sent to the senate the nominal
ton of Wallace r. Harrington to be governor Of Hawaii it is up to
good citizens to prepare to get back and give sturdy support to the
new administration. The nations chief executive has spoken and
the possibility of the senate refusing to confirm is too remote to be
given consideration. 1t is good, at least, to see an unpleasant con-
trOversy ended.
This paper believed that with the strong opposition that was
offered to the candidacy of Harrington it would be better for the
territory as a whole and for the republican party as an organiza-
ton if another should be named, one who might have an undivided
support when his name was presented to the President, and it re-
marked editOrially that it was doubtful whether Mr.. Harrington or
Mr.. Shingle could beat other possibilities in a plebiscite. But it
willingly accepts Mr.. Harrington and offers its best wishes for his
success as chief executive of Hawaii.
Mr.. Harrington is a successful business man of the Islands, a
kamaaina of years standing, a man of capabiity and capacity whose
business watchwOrd has been efficiency. He may be expected, then,
to give to the territory a business administration and this paper
hopes that such may be the case and urges that he be given the
fullest possible cooperation when he returns home and takes his posi-
ton on the ships bridge as pilot.

THE DIVORCE EVIL

Divorce is not a pleasant thing to talk about, to thing about,
unless one be unhappily married but it has come in for more than
usual attention since the recent EpiscOpalian COnvOcatiOn in Homo

ing the evil. There can bG no doubt that divorce is an evil and the
more happily a person be married the more evil it appears. 1t is

UTICA. N. Y. March 19.-Dr.
Grace NJ. Norris. the first woman

she's going TO be the first woman
mayor in the east.
And Utica, politically speaking,
is willing to admit it.
The doctor is chairman OF the

There is a wide split in the party
forces since Mayor James K. O'Con-

district less than a year.. But de-

waged a campaign that made old
time politicians look up with appre-
hension. She won over eight men,
