THE YICTORYJOR SCHOOLS.
When Governor Frear signs the School bill, as the Bul
letin has no doubt he will do, the public schools of Ha
waii will have scored the first real victory foA competent
and efficient education that has been recorded to the credit
of any Legislature and any Administration since the Terri
tory was organized.
vThe bill that goes to the Governor, Unless it contains
some technical complication that has not been discovered,
satisfies the demand for teachers of the children who have
been kept out of school by lack of funds and also for the
development of more practical courses of study.
Governor Frear in his message to the Legislature placed
the school legislation as of paramount importance. Mem
bers of the Legislature responding to this and also to the
partizan pledge under which they were elected, have passed
a measure which, in all its vital principles carries out the
recommendations of the School Fund Commission appoint
ed by the Governor and placed before the Legislature in the
form of a bill approved by the Administration and having a
practically unanimous community backing.
The School bill is the clearest-cut piece, of progressive
legislation that has been placed to the credit of the Legisla
ture at this session. And as it gives the Department of Pub
lic Instruction the opportunity so long sought ,it also carries
to the Department a very serious responsibility.
The Department of Public Instruction must make good.
It must use good discretion under this law or two years
hence the people will be calling for a reformation, just as the
fdll.es of administering the combined Public Works and
-Public Land offices have upset a system that had much to
recommend it, but could not overcome the incubus of an of
ficial who possessed no judgment in handling the broad
power given him.
As the situation will stand after the Governor signs the
School bill, it is "up to the Department of Public Instruc
tion." The task which that department faces is by no
means small. The results must be delivered in deeds, not
foolish promises and empty words.
EFFICIENT OFFICERS NEEDED.

A fow days ngo this papor In spenk
Inp of tho friction between the henltli

statement that elllclenc lu olllco

Today an Incident arises Indicating
that the health of ttlc city litis been
Jeopardized by a pol shop of wblcli
tho head of tho city nnd county health
department knew noTliIng, at n tlmo
when It was his particular business
to' know overythlng about pol shops.
If this bo truo, thero Is not so much
need for n change In the laws as in

City nnd County law.

The problem Is up to tho Super

the Supervisors do not possess suf

ture will have to.

The real objection af tho people of
Hawaii Is that tho l'ubllc Works De
partment has been run too much for
THE TAX BILL FIGHT.
With nil respect that Is properly
dun tho gentlemen who swung tho
whips, the clubs, tho ment axes, tho
weights of business, or whatever else
you may call It, In bringing ubout a
ro'versttl of the voto of the House of
llepiosontutives on tho Tax bill, tho
Hullo tin does not believe that
futtiio generations will rise up und
call them blessed.
This papor bellovcs that, should the
proposed tax limit plan finally enrry
thinugh tho legislature, the men who
have been ready to force It through
by fair means or foul will bo among
thn first to criticise their own work
nnd complain .bitterly of tho results.
In the long run this tux limit plan
will jesult In morn waste of money,
moro reckless expenditures, nnd less
Improvement In the efficiency of gov
ernment than the so-culled "wide
open" scheme presented to the Leg
islature by thn Admlulstiutlou und
passed by tho Senate.
If thero is a limit to the tux rati)
nntiied In tho law, It might well bo
ono nnd one-eighth por rent.
Of ono thing wu may bo certain, if
ii limit la named, the tax rate will go
to that figure, and If tho necessities
of government do not require nil Ihn
money derived from assessment at
this rate, ways will be found to make
use of It. That Is tho lesson of prac
tical experience.
The man who pay taxes, .pays
grudgingly anyway, and nfter 1,0 has
thrown his quota Into the genoral pot
he qwears vigorously at all govern
ment nnd gives not a niomont'd ut
tentlou to bow the monoy is uppvo-,
prluted or expended. The officer who
appropriates nnd expends feels on his
part that ho Is entitled to expend all
that comes In under tho tax rnlo
limit named In tho law. The net re
sult Is bad for the taxpayer and bad
for tho tax spender. They both he
como carcloss nnd Indifferent. Tho

The mon who uro standing by tllo
Administration tax bill 'nro neither
fools, tax eaters, nor robbers of the
public purse. In tho ordinary walks
of life they are entitled to the same
degree of spoct, and their Judgmeut
Is ns worthy of consideration us that

tory of this plantation. The mills were
driven n little harder thnn In 1809, the
average tons of enno ground per hour
being 97.8li, ni against 9S.12 tons the
provlnns year. Tho total innnufnetur
Igg Iosh for the crop was 14.27 per
cent , ns against 13.91. per tent for tho
previous crop. The difference In the
percentage of loss of the two crops is
due to tbp fact that the enne wns murh

In the fall of 1909 negotiations were
entered Into with the Western Distil

1910.
The erection of n storage tank nt
Kiihulul for the molnsset was com
pleted the second week of March, and
the delivery of molasses In tank cars
was commenced nt once.
In the meantime, between the com
mencement of the 1910 crop and the
completion of the storngc tank, wn had
wasted 4714 tons of molasses. Since
the completion of the tank, up to the
1st of February, 1911. we navo snippm

tons liuvo been shipped by the Lurllno

tails tho city health department

tion of the City nnd County Supervis
ors, if tho charges nre not true.
thero Is little sense shown In stirring
up ti rumpus to get u law changed.
Ltccnic Inspector Fennell Is strongly
of tho opinion that the several bottles
of liquor sold by "Phoney" Davis to
his special, uho visited the Duls plnea
on ltlchurds Btreet somo evenings ngo.
Were dl uggi-d.
So strongly Is the special officer In
clined to this theory that a portion of
the wlihlty secured from Davis has
been forwarded to Food Commissioner
Illanchiird.
Upon the examination by tho Terri
torial official will depend the charge
that will probably bo filed ngnlnst
Davis.
William Murphy, who has been as

ing on the ease. An analysis of the
booze Is expected to bo forthcoming
within a day or two.
