MAKE S SLOWLY

At the next meeting of the board of supervisors the proposed
traffic ordinance is supposed to come up for action and it would
appear desirable that further time be taken in it's consideration as the
coming meeting is not Opportune for the hearing which the proposed
measure should have. There has been too much going on since it's
first reading and there is too much scheduled for Friday of next
week to allow the attention that should be given by the public to
such a measure.
Without doubt the proposed traffic law is the most important to
public safety of any measure ever passed by the Maui Board of Su-
pervisors. 1t is for the protection of the pedestrian and for that of
the automobile owner, the driver and passengers, for life and limb as
well as property. Under such circumstances the greatest care should
be taken in the preparation and enactment of the legislation and the
public should have ample opportunity to be heard. Fair time is not
the time for such a hearing.
One OF the highly important provisions is that designed to pre-
vent glazing headlights, an evil that has caused more complaint than
perhaps any other. Whatever may be the provisions of the ordi-
nance in that respect, they must be clear and easily understandable
TO the car owner and, equally, they must be capable of rigid enforce
ment. 1t has been said that a committee of the heads of automobile
sales concerns be consulted on that provision and the suggestion is
worth consideration.
There must be a new ordinance, it should be a strong ordinance,
and time and attention should be directed toward that end by both
the board and the public. Maui News is not offering any criticism
on the ordinance, that should come from the public and it should be
voiced to the county officials, if criticism there be, before the meas
ure goes to final reading.

PRESS CONGRESS PLANS.

Changes in the plans for the entertainment of Press Congress
visitors as made by the committee on arrangements, have much to
commend them and are certainly more COMPREHENSIVE and hospitable
than was the tentative program. Duly carried out, they will be a
credit to Maui and her people.
Perhaps it may be considered as unfortunate that the trip up the
lao Valley had to be eliminated from the program, for the Valley and
the Needle had been announced as outstanding scenic attractions. On.
the other hand good comes out of the change for the entertainment
program becomes an All Maui affair instead of a Central Maui under
taking and the "Naui, one community, spirit becomes recognized
and is enhanced. 1t would have been too bad to have left Lahaina
the one time capital of Maui, off the itinerary of the distinguished
the most charmingly beautiful in the world and it makes a salts
factory substitute for the lao Valley trip.
There is much that Maui would like to do but cannot. She
would like to send the entire party over the Ditch Trail and she.
would like to send all able to make the trip to the summit of lIalea-
kala, but both of those trips are impracticable for such a large mum
Der. Maui must do well that which she undertakes and'her people
will see that she does.
The entertainment at the Fair is comprehensive The hibiscus
show is well timed, the staging of a might in Hawaii" will give
them an idea of the old Hawaii in contrast with the new and so will
the Hawaiiana exhibit where the old day hospitality will be shown
in gifts of Hawaiian made souvenirs. 1t is not, in a sense, an elab-
crate program. Dances and balls and receptions and formal dinners
are nOticably absent, they can be enjoyed anywhere, at any time and
so it is wei. that arrangements should be as they are, something diff
ferent and out of the ordinary.
How much good Maui and the Islands will reap from their hos
pitaity in the future will depend on how efficient are the volunteer
hosts who will drive them through the sections they are to visit, how
they point out what should be noticed. They should put the
best foot foremost for Maui, but at the same time they should not
make it appear that Maui lacks nothing when at this time Maui and
Hawaii Mel lacks so much and needs recognition of its rights as never
before.

Once more there arises complaint against the conditions at
the rest house on the Crater brink. Tuesday of this week a party
of tourists went up the Mountain and on Wednesday returned, thor
oughly Disguised with the Accommodations offered them there.
They leave Maui as knockers, not as boosters, and Maui and Halea-
kala appear to be in for some very undesirable publicity.
1t is the old story, the tourists tell. They arrived to find the
house dirty and they had to clean it up before they could occupy the
quarters. Blankets were rolled up after a fashion, not folded. They
described the place as filthy.
1t is time that something was done by the committee or the COM
munity to end the cause of such complaints. One week from Satur-
day a party selected from the delegates to the Worlds Press Con-
gress will up there and the Press Congress committeeman in charge
of the trip is sending up men to clean up in advance of such visit.
1t should not have been necessary. The rest house committee could
have seen to that.
The situation comes down to this. Some one is responsible or
some one must be made responsible for the rest house conditions.
Every one sent away after an unpleasant experience there hurts Maui
and her chief tourist asset, be the visitors of greater or less social
Importance, what they say counts. If a Satisfied customer is the
best advertiser, so also a dissatisfied customer is the reverse.
1t is time for action, not for talk, before further damage is done

Duty of Legion.

Congress has finally done its duty by the
sick and disabled ex-service men. 1t has
passed the Sweet bill which creates new ma
chinery, coordinates the old and appropriates
all money necessary for the functioning of the
various measures of relief.
The Sweet bill has the approval of the
American Legion and its enactment into law
is due in large measure to the pressure of the
legion, backed by virtually unanimous public
sentiment From now on the legion can in
bulge in more useful activity than to CO.
operate with the government in the admins
tration of this great trust 1t should act in
the dual capacity of representing both the dis
abled veterans, who are to receive the benefits
and the taxpayers, whose money is being
spent. The cost of administrationsmus be held
to the minimum, to the end that the largest
possible proportion of the total expenditure be
conserved for direct benefits to the benefic-
isries. 1t will be an outrage and scandal if
the usual wasteful political methods are adopt
ed in executing this law. "A dollars worth of
relief for every dollar spent" should be the le-
gons watchword. And the public can be de-
pended upon to back the legion to the limit
in whatever action is necessary to translate
watchward into reality.

New Hotel for Moline.

One of the improvements of the present year
promised for Moline is 15-story hotel, to cost
| 100000 The promoter is a st. Louisan, who
| is the successful operator of number of no.
tells and apartment houses. He is to furnish
! half the needed funds, expecting Moline resi-
dents to subscribe the remainder.
Moline long has felt the want of a modern
hotel, and Rock Island is glad to know that
the city is to have one. But while rejoicing
in the good fortune of her neighbor Rock Is
land should not lose sight of her own short
comings in respect to hotel accommodations.
For the past two years there has been talk of
a new hotel in Rock Island. Negotiations have
progressed to the point of obtaining a site and
discussion OF financial plans, and it is probable,
with more favorable building conditions, the
project would have been under way by now.
But for some unaccountable reason the under
taking has been allowed to lag.
With Davenport and Moline having modern
hotels, Rock Island will be placed in pocket
and unless something is done here to protect
our own interests, the city will be virtually
cut off from all transient hotel business. A
modern hotel is one of the best assets of a
city While Rock Island has well conducted
hotels. she has failed to keep pace in this re-
spect with her neighbors 1t is no reflection ON
the hotels that we have when the traveller
elects to obtain aecommodations in a neighbor
city. The traveller naturally goes where he
gets the better accommodations
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the Rock
Island hotel project will be revived, and with
out delay. Rock Island, as the center of the
tri-cities. is located to attract the bulk
of the transient hotel business, and will do so
il local interests furnish the required accom-
modations.

Consider the Cost.

In Berlin last Sunday the people Of the
masses staged a monster demonstration in
which they expressed themselves as forever
against another such that which Ger
many had begun seven years before. 1t is
easy to understand such demonstration when
the cost of that war to Germany is considered.
Just last week, the revised German casualty
lists were published. The number OF killed
etetaled 1,7s2,36S and 100000 more still are re-
ported missing More than 100000 were wound
ed and a large percentage of these men are
crippies for life.
1t is not strange that last Sundays demon
stration took place, with 100000 graves as re-
rainders of what the war had cost, not TO men
ton the Borrowing homes, the dismembered
families, the prvation, the monetary cost and
excessive war taxation. the vanishing com
naerce. Is there anyone foolish to say that
had Germany been able, seven years ago this
month to foresee the terrible toll she would
be compelled to pay if she started the war,
she would have proceeded, regardless, of the
well-pianned murder of the prince of Serajevo,
the impossible demands Serbia, and the
advance through Belgium?
