A.. T 1 J .. I .. it. . . J 1 ... . . I . I coiuiiy. il io in iiiiu lesiJeui wiui i"u greatest adyances have been made in recent years on tho mainland In the matter of local government advances that have proved most remarkable In the degree In which they have lncreas. ed the efficiency of local, government. "In tho first place, It Is now an ex ploded notion that tho larger the num ber of elective officers the greater the degree of popular government. Tho old notion was to elect as many offi cers as possible on the Idea that there by tho people govern themselves, but, as a matter of fact it has resulted the other way. The way to get popular government Is to elect those who de termine policies, namely, the super visors, and let them appoint the offi cers who are to carry out their pol ces. This Is essential In order to ob. tain n government that Is responsible and responsive to the people. This principle Is now recognized and Is be ing applied more and more oe the mainland. A board of supervisors is, or should be, much like a board of directors of a corporation. The di rectors are elected and they appoint the other officers. They determine the policies and aro put In a position to carry them out and are held res ponsible If they do not. Otherwise, there would be friction and independ ence of action with no one that could be held to complete responsibility. Moreover, this Is in the direction of tho short ballot, which is now ad vocated by the best thnkers on this subject. The fewer the names on the ticket tho more can tho voters find out about then and form correct judg. ments In regard to them. Attention may bo concentrated on u few, not on many. Better men have to be nomin ated in order to get elected, and there Is more inducement for better men to run. The idea would bo to elect sim ply the supervisors in each county and city and county and let them ap point the other officers, excepting the auditor, Who also might be elected because he should be Independent of the supervisors. In the second place, one of the most effective means found elsewhere to promote efficiency In local government Is that of electing the supervisors at large and not by districts. This has several advantages. A candidate who Is to be elected by a larger constitu ency must in general be a man of greater ability or higher character, or both, .than a man who Is to be elected by a smaller constituency. A super, visor so elected is also apt to consider himself more the representative of the whole county and not merely of his district. Supervisors are now so elected in the City and County of Honolulu. This might very well be extended to the other counties, with possibly a modification in the case of the County of Hawaii, where a portion of tho supervisors might be elected from ,one side of tho island and tho others from tho other side, or three from each side and one at large, or all might be elected at largo but three' be required to bo residents on one side and four on the other, "In tho third place, the old notion that there should bo In city and coun ty governments, as In state govern ments, a distinct executive and a dis tinct legislative body Is also now be ing rapidly discarded and in place of It there Is a growing belief that a city or county government should be con ducted by ono body, like that of the board of directors of a corporation, There is no need of a separate mayor with a veto power. He should bo one of tho board and have no veto power. Business should not be clogged or de layed by red tape or by having a ma yor of one polltical.party and 'a board of a different political party. The majority of tho board should control the policies and take the responsibil ity and bo In a position to proceed In a businesslike way. Consequently, It may be well to make the mayor a Dr. Clark will leave for Havana and report as soon as possible to the board here. 10R FO E THE KEWGHURGH At the close of his sermon yester day In the Methodist church Bishop Hughes stnted that $12,000 was need: ed to meet the present Indebtedness, on account of the new building. After mentioning the fact that a part of this sum had already been subscribed during the last few uays, he asked for further subscriptions. The people responded very cheerfully and liberally and at the close cf the service $9,500 of the amount needed had been pro vided. A quiet canvass for the re maining $2,500 will be made during this week. It Is earnestly hoped that the entire amount may be provided for before Bishop Hughes leaves for San Fran cisco, Saturday, January 28. Any gift, large or small, will be greatly appre ciated. Gifts or pledges may be sent to Mr. R. H. 1-rent, Fort street. Any person making a pledge may have one year, it desired In which to pay It. member of the board; that is, in the City and County of Honolulu have a board of seven members, of which the mayor shall be one. The mayor could still be elected as such and bo the presiding officer nnd have a general superintendence over the work of the city and county, but he would primar ily be a member of the board with a right to vote and act as other mem bers but without a veto power, just as is the case with the chairman of the county boards. These changes, if made, would pro bably better be made so as not to take effect during the terms of the officers who are already elected; that Is, they should not take effect until the next election." . m m X , SIERRA GOING WEDNESDAY.
