WILL SERVE P

Right of the Maui supervisors to demand the resignation of
county employees who seek legislative honors and to stop their pay
before the holding of the primaries is questioned in a special from
Waiuku printed in the Honolulu Advertiser of Wednesday. The
article quotes Attorney Eugene Murphy as saying that the board
might have the right to require designations after the primaries bit
not the day before, which would be a difference of two days in office
holding for the successful candidates for nomination.
Without going into the rights and powers of the board to en-
force its resolution before the primary election, the purpose has been
to a great extent met by the passing of the resolution for it puts
the board on record and makes its attitude clear. The purpose was
not to prevent any man from running for office but to check his
taking time from the work for which the county pays him to adj
vance his own interests, to run for the legislature, in other words,
at the expense Of the tax payers.
Whether or not the board has gone beyond its powers, with the
cooperation of the heads of departments it can prevent employees
from negecting their duties to the county in order to campaign.
A head OF department can refuse to employelegIatve candidates
leave OF absence either with or without pay during the primary
campaign. Where a head Of department sees an employe neglect
ing his work he can warn him and where such neglect continues af-
ter warning he can discharge such unsatisfactory employee for negH-
gence or for absence from his post. In that way the purposes of
the resolution, conservation of the cOumty'S interest, can be carried
out irrespective of how far the rights of the board of supervisors
extend under the law. The board can also make it clear to heads
of departments that it demands their full cooperation in carrying
out the policy that it has declared in its resolution.

PROBABLE LIFE LENGTH

Every man and woman has a deep interest in the question of,
barring accidents, how long can he or she expect to live and the
department of commerce has compiled considerable data on the all
important subject and made comparison in figures taken from the
1920 and 1910 census figures. In ten years the expectation of life
of each healthy child born has heightened three years and nine
months if he is a white boy or two years eight months and a few
days over if a girl. The life chances of the man of 80 have length
ened a year and seven months and of the woman of the same age a
little more than eight months. When a man reaches the age of 60
he may expect to go on living past the age of IS and the woman of
the same age may look forward to IA years more of living.
Kansas is the home of average longevity, according to the table
issued from Washington this month, though some may unkindy
say that life only seems longer in the rigorous climates of that
state, Wisconsin and Minnesota than under the blue skies and in
the balmy airs of Hawaii. However the table gives II years longer
expectation of life to the white boy baby of Kansas and 10 years
more for the white girl baby than for the boys and girls born in Ha-
wall, irrespective of race or color. The expected length of life for
the man in Kansas is SO years and nine months and in Hawaii only
AZ years and two months. The Kansas woman ought to live to the
age of 60 years and 10 months while the woman in Hawaii may ex-
pect a life of At years three months and II days.
Only between the ages of II and 80, says the report has eXpecta-
ton of life decreased and the cause for that decrease is the effect
which the epidemics of influenza had upon the mortality figures upon
persons between those ages.

Motor Vehicles VS.. Trains.

New England hotel men who have
profted by the utilization of the su-
tomobile for pleasure travel viii prob.
ably not agree with the Railway Age
in its assertion that;
ut is more economical. safer and
pleasanter in almost every part of
this country to make pleasure trips OF
any considerable length by railroad
than by automobile"
And perhaps these hotel men, or the
automobile associations will under
take to answer the Railway Ages
question:
why, then, does almost everybody
who thinks Of taking pleasure trips,
from say 30 10 200 miles in length,
think of taking them in automobiles p
The automobile has evidently come
to stay as a pleasure vehicle, unless.
indeed, the increased demand for its
use eventually taxes the capacity of
the roads so that travelling over them
ceases to be pleasure. The railroads
are advised BY the Railway Age to
improve the selling of their service to
the public. But il would probably not
be wen to declare bluntly that railroad
travel was pleasanter for distances of
from so TO 200 miles If large portion
Of the public thought differently. Per-
haps the railroads might devise means
of making their type of travel pleas
anter than it is.-Springfield Republi-

Booming Vermont as a Winter Resort.

Booming Vermont as a Winter Resort.
There is no reason why Vermont
cannot be known the country over as
winter resort. And several towns and
cities this season seem determined to
advertise the attractions of the Green
Mountain state as a place for health
full rejuvenation. Carnivals of outdoor
sports are being held all up and down
the state, attended and participated in
by thousands of young people, all of
whom are improved in appearances and
reality by their unusual exercise. With
an abundance of "the beautiful" spread
out over the landscape, with miles of
glare ice to tempt the skaters, with
steep hills for coasting and skiing, what
is there more enjoyable than crowd
of people well wrapped mp and pro
tected from the cold, entering into the
sports with enthusiasm An over
heated hall, with its suffocating atmos-
phere and hundreds Of distinct doors
permeating- everything is not to be
compared to the enliyening, reviving,
rehabilitating of such an outdoor
atmosphere. Why any vermonter
should pine to go to the wilted enervat-
ing and generally mildewed south land
and forsake this regenerating weather
passes our comprehension. Let us all
begin to boom the state of Vermont
as a winter resort Newport Express

GRAVEL AND MAtADAM ROADS.

The statement made by highway en-
gineers in the federal road service, that
the days of gravel and macadam roads
are past, viii come with especial inter-
est to Vermont, where the discussion
of the best methods and materials in
road construction is by no means set
tied. According to the federal high
way experts, the maintenance expendi-
lures in connection with gravel and
macadam roads make those roads, in
the long run, far more expensive than
the permanent" types OF road. This
may be considered point in favor of
the hard surface road party in Yer
mont and will, perhaps, have a degree
of influence in bringing Vermont to
decision on a definite policy OF road
construction. AT the same time, the
evidence il not conclusive and should
not cause Vermont to give up gravel
and macadam roads without further
consideration Of the matter It is
merely the statement of opinion by
certain class OF road builders, How
ever, it should be candidly considered
by both sides to the present contro-
versy in Vermont. Out OF this con
troyersy it is hoped to arrive at the
solution which shall prove best for
Vermont.

The esteemed Newport Express and

thing when it referred to the "wilted,
cnervating and generally widowed
Southland" in contrast to the fresh,
invigorating north in winter time. If
the words come to the attention Of the

will come a stiff defense of that same

harsh criticism Of Vermont thrown in.

Opinion that Germany, was the Of

World war, comes IRON rather high
authority in the person of Philip

statements to the Students associa-
