and the manner in which each

when such regulation becomes
necessary for the public good.
In their exercise it has been cus
tomary in England from time im

from its first colonization, to
regulate ferries, common carriers,
hackmen. bakers, millers, wharf
ingers, etc., and in so doing to fix
a maximum charge to be made
for services tendered.
"It would seem under the authori.
ties that where a person uses his
! property, e.g., a wharf, in such man-
ner as to affect the public interest.
the Legislature may to a reasonable
extent regulate the charges.

opinion that the Legislature has not

Hygiene and Demography, at Washington,
which Dr. j. S. R. Pratt and other Hawaiian
medical experts are attending, has been that of
treatment of the insane. According to the fig
nit's presented there were 184,712 insane pa
tients in American hospitals last year, and they
cost the ieople of the United States $32,000,000
iu twelve.mouths. More than half of this insan
ity is preventable, it is contended, and the con
gress discussed means to prevent it.
The cost of maintenance for the unfortunate
inmates of institutions for the insane exacts a
tax of slightly less than one dollar for every
adult male in the United States.

Favor More Control.
Commissioners Wakefield and Mc
Ctrthy expressed views decidedly m
favor of the harbor commission's con
trol of the private wharves.
"We already regulate the charges at
the public wharves, and to a certain
extent those at certain private
wharves," said Mr. Wakefield. "This
is in line with our regular duty, and
if a public utilities commission is
formed, it will not and in natural rea
son should not take this responsibility
from the harbor commission.
"As we are in close touch; with
these matters we would be better
able, because of our acquaintance
with conditions, to attend to all
wharfage regulations. I am certain
respecting charges, fees arid compen
sation for the storage of, and the du
ties and powers of carriers, shippers
and consignees in and to any such
freight, goods, wares and merchandise
in and upon any landing, dock or
public wharf within the Territory is
not, in my opinion, broad enough to
include privately-owned "wharves."

As a result, Mr. Wakefield intends
recommending shortly that wharfage
rates at the public piers be raised
materially, so that the Territory will
not be continually losing money on
the proposition.
