Kim Bong Chuen is the name ol

THE RETIRING EXECUTIVE WHITES A POWERFUL CONTRIBUTION
TO THE COASTWISE SHIPPING LAW
SAMOA EXEMPTED BECAUSE LAW IS

DISCUSSION GUAM. AND
UNSUITABLE ATTITUDE
One ot tho last acts of the retiring
governor was to sign a ringing letter to
the Department of Commerce and La
bor on the subject of coastwise ship
ping restrictions. In his letter Car
ter brings out a lot of now facts and
arguments and sets them forth In his
best and most forcible stylo. The
letter Is as follows:
August 12, 1907.
"E. T. Chamberlain, Esq., Commission
er of Navigation, Department ot
Commerce and Labor, Washington,
D. C.
"Dear Sir: Permit me to acknowledge
receipt of your of Juno 18th, with its
enclosure of J. D. Spreckels & Bros.
Company's letter, from San Francisco,
under date ot June 11th.
"I cannot hope to compete with paid
experts of corporations, who. as you
are aware, have heretofore played so

tional legislation. It Is but natural
that they should fall to recognize the.

from starving, after they had generous
ly divided their stores and food supplies
with the large number who wero land
ed there from the strannel 'Mongolia?'
I need not mention the fact that it
has already been recognized that Guam
and Samoa should be exempted from
the application of this law, it being Im
practical of npplicatidn there.
"Now, the public of Honolulu and
this Territory, prior to annexation, en-
Joyed tho passenger service ot every
steamer that stopped here. Thus com
merce was enabled to grow because
of the personal contact between buyer
and seller, so essential to credit and
trade. The application of the coast
wise law to these Islands, two thousand
miles from tho mainland, has in no
way built up or fostered American
shipping. Within tho past year tho

making, In contradistinction to -corporate

"An administrative officer has often
to meet perplexing questions concern
ing his duty. No one disputes that ho
is expected to enforce the laws, but
every law Is an abridgment of a pri
vate right as to somo and tho granting
of privileges aB to others. Thus its
Justice and permanency depends upon
its usefulness to tho majority. Every
rule has its exceptions, and a law In
our country which is obnoxious to the
people will not stand for any length ot
time, nor will they long tolerate Its en
forcement An administrative officer
often will enforce an obnoxious law
in order to secure its early repeal. But
we In Hawaii' realize that tho coast
wise law has much of merit in It, and,
do not believe that your department
should enforce it in such a manner as
to make it obnoxious, with a view to
securing its repeal, for tho lawmaking
body, as I understand it, gave to the
Secrotary of Commerce and Labor the
exclusive power and privilege ot re.
mlttlng such fines for violation ot this
Act as In his Judgment he might think
wise.
"To show how impossible It is to
strictly enforce a law of this nature,
which does not tako cognizance or
varying conditions, I need only ask it

This, lit conjunction with other losses,

to accept since annexation.
"I have It on so high an authority
as that of Mr. Schewerln, General Man
ager of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
that the trade of Hawaii was imma
terial to his company. He stated in
an interview lately In San Francisco
that it he had to move a small coal pile
from land of the Naval Reserve or pay
ground rent for their coal storage
(which is borne by all other steamship
companies here) he would sooner cut

"For a long time every effort has
been made by tho peoplo of Hawaii to
force the Pacific Mall Company to re
cognize the local trade and permit a
small portion of each steamer to be

could be sure of accommodations, and
