BOARDS.
A correspondent draws attention
to the formation of the boards in
connection with tho government de
partments, lie advocates "decen
tralization, or division of duties and
responsibilities," and further says
"if the boards must be composed of
men in cabinet positions, what need
can there be for those boards at
all?"
This is a subject that may well be
considered by the Legislature. Until
the reign of the present Premier
there was no such monopoly of
Boards as exists to-day. Mr. Gib
son likes to be the contioliug spirit,
consequently gentlemen better quali
fied, than the Premier, to bcrve on
boards have been dismissed, or have
felt called upon to resign knowing
that their services weie valueless and
unappreciated. On the Hoard of
Health arc two ministers, neither of
whom has had the education or
training necessary to qualify him to
fill such a position. It is the same
in the case of the Board of Educa
tion. What practical knowledge or
experience in educational matters is
possessed either by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs or by the Minister
of Finance?
The Board of Health should, wc
think, be composed of at least two
medical men, one good business
man, the superintendent of public
works, or, better still, a scientific
engineer and peihaps the Minister
under whom the law has placed the
supervision of sanitary ulfuir. A
Board of Education would be still
more difficult to fill. II requires men
who arc conversant with all the
details and routine of school life,
who are qualified lo judge of the
attainments of their inspectors and
teachers who have the more dilllcult
and useful work to perform. A
Board of Immigration requires the
services of capable business men,
men who' would lay aside any con
sideration of what might be to their
personal advantage in order to pro
mole the present and future welfare
of tho country.
It would not be an easy mailer to
find the requisite men, yet we think
they could be found if they were
assured that their opinions and re
commendations would be considered
and not invariably disregarded. A113'
change almost would be an iuiprovc
mohl upon the system now in vogue
whero we have one man seeking for
infinite power. Let the boaids meet
regularly, and let the members be
oaid, if necessary, for their services.
DECENTRAUZATldN.
Mit. Enrrou : It is not because 1
am possessed of a new or an origi
nal idea that I trouble you, but
because I consider an old idea which
has many times found utterance in
Honolulu newspaper is worthy of
being kept alive.
I would preface my remarks by
UWMWOMWtM.
disclaiming any motive oilier than a
sincere and patriotic desire lo sec
established and perpetuated in this
country of my adoption, a pure, an
elllcient, and 11 strong government.
I 11111 not a seeker after office cither
for myself or my friends, nor do 1
share in the belief that those now in
authority arc the most corrupt, the
most ineillcicnt, and the most bun
gling set of men ever appointed to
govern. I am a poor, obscure man,
known only lo a few and knowing
only a few. But this is my adopted
home and tho native home of those
most dear to me on earth, and wc
expect it to be our permanent home.
Therefore, 1 feel that concern for
the welfare of the eounliy which
self-interest naturally inspires, and
would exercise my unit of strength
in promoting good government,
rather than in striving lo weaken
and dcstioy.
The idea with which I started out
is this, that a little decentralization
would tend to strengthen and render
more elllcient the government of
this country. T am not fully pre
pared to' admit that the same mea
sure of decentralization that has been
adopted with success in some other
countries could be introduced here
with the same success. District
Councils and local Road Boards, for
instance, which have worked with
great satisfaction elsewhere, might
not be practicable with us ; for the
reason that it would be difficult to
find competent men in the country
districts willing to serve in such
bodies. But right hero in the capi
tal, the decentralizing idea might be
carried out to a greater extent than
hitherto, lo the advantage of the
government and with beneficial 1c
sulls lo the country.
As it is, and as it has becu, His
Majesty's Ministers, or at least some
of thcin, have more duties to attend
lo than they can piopcrly perform.
No doubt, some people will smile at
this statement ; for I have frequently
heard it said that ono minister is
sufficient For this little country, and
that there is not enough work to
keep one employed half his time.
Men who talk so are inexperienced.
Let them try, and they will tell
another talc. If the Ministers at
tend faithfully and thoroughly to
the duties piopcrly pertaining to
their ministerial functions, their time
and their capabilities will be fully
engrossed.
Yet it is the custom heie to put
those Ministers in responsible posi
tions on subordinate boards. Thus,
at the present time, the Minister of
Foreign Relations is President of
two boards and Member of another.
The Minister of the Interior is Pre
sident of one board and Member of
another. The Minister of Finance
is Member of one board. This is
placing in ministerial bauds too
much work and on niinisteiial shoul
ders loo much responsibility, outside
of niinisteiial functions. If the duties
of miuisleis are such as lo require
their entire thought and attention, it
is too much lo expect those gentle
men to do board duty also.
The decentralization, or division
of duties and responsibilities, which
I advocate, exists in name, but not
in reality. I see no' advantage in
this arrangement. If the boards
must be composed of men in cabinet
positions, what need can there be
for those boards at all? Why not
the duties appertaining thereto be
discharged by ministers in their
ministerial capacities? I cannot pci
ccive how boards so constituted can
in any way lighten the work of
government or add to its efficiency.
Decentralization, to be beneficial,
must be real as well as nominal.
Tho various hoards, although subor
dinate to the General Government,
should be independent thereof, in
the sense of being composed of men
not in the cabinet. Each board
should consist of, say, five intelligent
and capable men, no one mail to
serve on more than one board. This
arrangement would divide the labor
and rcsponsibilitj' of government,
enhance its efficiency, leave minis
ters free to give their undivided
attention to great questions of na
tional import, and be in keeping
with the most advanced and progres
sive policies of other countries.

Tni: new recruits of tho Mounted
Police force arc progressing rapidly
with their drill. On Thursday even
ing, when Lieutenant Sinylho went
his usual nightly round of inspec
tion, he. found nearly all his boys
drawn up in their room, nt ten
o'clock, practising their carbine drill
into the mysteries of which Ihoy had
only been initiated in tho morning.
This shows that tho boys are anx
ious to lnnvn ;iiwl it. must. Imvn been
very gratifying to their instructor,
EARLY CLOSING.
Editor Bim.i.tin: In your to
day's paper is ti letter signed " A
Clerk" in which Ihe wilier brought
forward the necessity and appaicnt
feasibility of early closing on a Sat
urday. The business transacted on
Saturday afternoons is generally
small (leaving apart steamer days)
and 1 think that it would bo a good
plan lo adopt a regular hour for
closing on a Saturday afternoon.
For my part if the motion be sec
oncd by the different leading firms
of the city, 1 will be most happy lo
render and give my boys a half day's
pleasure. A Boss.
