I Eleven members of the territorial senate yesterday voted to turn the clock of public education back 28 years.

In 1911 there was written on the statute books of the territory the wise principle of making public education a fixed charge on the revenues of the territory. There was also enacted the wise principle of determining the number of teachers by the number of pupils to be taught. The first enactment removed public education from the sway of partisan politics and from sporadic moves to sacrifice education to supposed expediency. It gave public education in Hawaii a written gun ran tee of stanch government support. The second enactment was a warrant of adequate teaching personnel to meet the abnormally heavy teaching load that Hawaii must carry for a generation to care for its exceptionally large number of public school children.

The vote of the senate yesterday if the house agrees removes from public ed iflf.

It is the Texas Gulf Sulphur Company, whose front man. Roy Miller of Corpus Christi. formed the first Garner for President club last December, and is the vice president's most consistent and vociferous rooter. Garner he describes as "a liberal without a tinge or taint of radicalism," and the ideal man to be president of the United States.

Reason the monopoly committee is investigating Mr. Miller's company is the charge that it operates one of the tightest monopolies in that it has been able to keep the price of natural sulphur at $18 a ton ever since 1926. Considering the price jumps of other industrial commodities, this is no mean achievement. MERRY-GO-ROUND Commissioner Donald W. Smith continues to work 12 and 14 hours a day.

Two lovely black eyes! Just for telling a msm he was wrong two lovely black eyes!" Ex-Commander Rawson, however, is in Melbourne and editor La tti more in New York, so the "black eyes" are so far only of die dotted kind. Moreover, there must be a considerable disparity in age between a retired commander and a 38 year old editor.

It's just possible, too, that alarmed Rawson knows what he is talking about Some Rawson arguments: "Australia and New Zealand, the most remote and unprotected of the British Dominions, now feel more maae pernnps even "a demand for the cession of territory. Editor Lattimore, replying with more of youthful assurance than supporters a bill to place the public education budget under control of the governor, can more aptly be called a bill to place the public education budget in the field of political manipulation and pressure. We do not charge that this is the purpose of the eleven senators who voted it through the upper house. None of them went through the long and instructive period of legislative consideration of public education in the sessions of 1909 and 1911. of them is personally familiar, we believe, with the prolonged struggle made in those days by friends of public education to put the Hawaii school system on a firm basis, on a safe foundation, secure from the claims of temporary "economies" and from the raids of political strategists.

We are willing to believe we do sincerely believe that if these eleven members of the upper house had gone through that enlightening experience, few of them would now vote to return the school system of Hawaii to its status prior to 1911, Senator Joseph R. Farrington's statement to the upper house yesterday showed with what emphasis Governor Frear in 1911 and 1912 hailed the new status of the school system. Senator Farrington could have quoted literally for hours from the statements of Hawaii's governors, legislators, school authorities then and since then on the immense value of the step that had been taken to protect public education in this territory. Now the senate votes to turn back the clock to a financial practice that was deliberately and thoughtfully changed 28 years ago. We believe this move is a mistake a mistake that will become a tragic error if it is agreed to by the house, becomes law, and operates to govern the handling of the public schools.

Perhaps not in this territorial administration will the results become generally apparent. But year by year, if once this fundamental principle of financial security for the public education is the schools will become more and more the target for political sharpshooters and misplaced "economy." ary. Such are communications made between husband an! wife, lawyer and client, physician and patient, clergyman and parishioner. Marital partner, lawyer, physician and cleric cannot lie compelled in legal proceedings to reveal the sources of information given to them in confidence. The inviolable secrecy of the "privileged communication" is generally recognized.

Extension of such recognition to newspaper men as well proceeds apace. Seven states have passed statutes absolving newspaper men from any requirement to disclose the sources of information their papers may publish. Maryland began it far back in 1X96. New Jersev passed its law in 1933; Alabama in 1935; Arkansas and Kentucky in 1936; Arizona in 1937. Kansas has such a law under consideration, as has also Michigan.

The Michigan proposal is typical of this legislation. It reads as follows: "No person engaged in newspaper or reportorial work, or connected with, or employed by any newspaper shall be compelled to testify or to disclose in any legal proceedings or trial, or any proceedings whatsoever, or before any jury, inquisitorial body or commission, or before any committee of the legislature, or before the legislative council, or any of its committees, or elsewhere, the source of information procured or obtained by him and published in any newspaper on which he is engaged, connected with or employed." Behind the "press confidence" laws lie some grim facts. In some cases newspaper men have gone to jail rather than reveal the names of their informants. To have told might have exposed somebody to bodily injury or gang-murder death. Or just the sense of honor and of professional ethics nerved the reporter to bold his tongue and serve his sentence out.

There is a strong trend as the laws of seven states already show to give legal recognition to "press confidence" and to place Hie "privileged communication" of the newspaper man on a par with the confidential statements made to wife or husband, to lawyer, physician, minister or priest. In so doing, legislators recognize the value of the press was "the watchdog of the able and ready to expose abuses fearlessly and to attack public courteous consideration and al- most proving that he has not read the very communication he an-; swers, declares positively and no is nere quoted run: "Evidently in Australia, as elsewhere, one way of shelving the issue of "what to do about a pas" is to use the scare-of 'defenseless-ness. in order to justify armaments that might be used again it Japan in some indefinite future.

D. was already engaged, hence Miss Anderson (a Negro concert singer of high repute) was denied the use of it, sounds very weak indeed. Miss Anderson's concert tour is made out long in advance because I personally saw the publicity in Finland, Russia and Germany months before she sang in those countries (when she sang there some three years ago). It would seem reasonable to assume that the same would prevail here in America, namely that her concert tour was arranged by her manager long before she appeared. Mrs.

Roosevelt's resignation from the D. A. R. due to this particular issue shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Miss Anderson's case was one of discrimination, pure and simple. The undemocratic activities of the present Daughters of the American Revolution would shame their illustrious, sturdy forebears.

The new Lockheed was the reason the French were permitted to inspect and consider purchase of the Douglas which crashed at Los Angeles with a Frenchman aboard. The army knew that the new Douglas, although a good plane, would not be used by it. There were some other interesting facts regarding the French plane deal which have not yet leaked out. One was that the Douglas plant could not complete the French order before July 1, and the army, although willing to allow the French to buy these planes was not willing to have the Douglas plant manufacture them after July 1.

The army figured that by July 1, Douglas would be busy manufacturing the new U. S. planes to be appropriated for by congress. TREASURY VS. ARMY This was where Secretary of the Treasury Mor-genthau stepped in: His procurement division is in charge of government purchases, and both Roosevelt and Morgenthau, believing it absolutely essential for France to have planes, asked treasury agents to see what they could do to help the French.

Intrusion of the treasury made the army see red. Army brasshats then leaked the story to the senate. Later, irate isolationist senators harangued their colleagues on the fact that only the accident of a crash in Los Angeles let the nation know that France was buying these planes. This, however, was not true. Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri knew all about it before the crash, having been tipped off by the angry war department.

Who tipped him off is not known, but here are two clues (1) Secretary of War Woodring of Kansas dislikes Morgenthau intensely; (2) Kansas, the home state of Woodring is very close to Missouri, the home state of Senator Clark.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF GOLDEN PLOVER Editor The Star-Bulletin, Sir: In connection with the work for preservation of the golden plover the only charge I have so far found against this bird is that as it feeds on caterpillars it will dstroy the parasites brought here to kill the caterpillar. But it will thus kill the caterpillar sooner than would the parasite.

However, granted that the caterpillar should be preserved till the parasite gets sufficiently numerous to be usefuL will the parasite ever do the work the birds can do? If the parasite practically exterminates the parent moth, it will nearly exterminate itself for want of food. Then as the life of the army worm moth is such that in a favorable season a very small number of their pupae which have been snugly hidden away in the ground for several months, can in a short time, after the first rains bring on a countless army of caterpillars capable of stripping the pastures bare of every green leaf, even eating the stems down into the ground. I have seen the pasture lush and green on one side of the advancing army and behind it not a green blade, only a few dry stems. The surface an actual desert. The noise of the grinding jaws of the caterpillars distinctly audible where they are massed on the edge of the green grass.

On one occasion I had plow furrows run for miles to try to stop the advancing horde, but all in vain. Many times have the birds arrived at the crucial moment and saved the situation. The kolea scatter over the face of the country each coming back to its last year's range. They gather at intervals into large flocks and fly to the seashore. There they meet other flocks.

They have ways of communicating to one another of good food areas and each time they visit the shore will bring back reinforcements to the infested locality. So it does not matter what stage of numbers the caterpillar is in the birds can always find and cope with them as no parasite or toad could do. This is not theory as to the accomplishments of these birds; it is actual experience over a long stretch of years. How much more use could these birds be if unmolested and allowed to increase in numbers? GEORGE C. MUNRO.

Landgrafs prea-ent address is care of the American Expresa Rente.) Florence, Italy We have seen quite a bit of interesting sights since my last letter from Naples. Christmas and New Years were just two other days to Mr. Hicks and myself, for we left Naples on Christmas day in a driving rain for Brindisi, which is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy. We spent a night and a day in Brindisi and left at five in the evening on a Greek ship for Piraeus. We stopped at Santa Qurante in Albania for an hour or so and also at Corfu, one of the Greek islands.

As the Corinth canal was under repair we had to go around the islands which took us three days. Arriving at Piraeus at 7:36 p. m. we decided to spend the night there and were off to Athens the following morning. The weather hi Greece this time of the year is similar to that of Los Angeles in the winter.

Spending eight days in Athens we were able to see everything of interest The most interesting of all the Greek culture was the Acropolis. The Acropolis is situated about 10 minutes from the center of town by tram. Here we saw the ever fa If I could know, before each days dim fate, Wherein might I gain Joy, wherein find none; If I could learn, before it was too lata. Where lurk the perils which 1 wish to shun. If I could know where Joy and bliss might be.

Avoid the grief and but delight perceive; If I could make my life from sorrow free, As it would be but for the sin of Eve; Ah then; tell me, oh Fate, what is in store And give me time to free my heart from care. But if no matter how I ply my oar, TLs me to flee not Scytta's lair. Then keep, oh Fate, what knowest thou from me. Dim not the joys that are, my woes to be. men do have families, even though they are in the navy, and there are times for a number of us when we have to resort to long days and weeks in a hospital, but we pay our own hospital bills.

Doctors' services are free, which of course is a big item and one to be fully appreciated, bu to state that "free hospitalization" is another asset in our favor, from experience again I would like to say that we. as individuals, pay our own hospitalization. The enlisted man, himself, receives hospital care free gratis, but such is not the case concerning his family. "Free transportation" is something else that gives cause for more controversy. Considering, as we must the status of a civilian employe and that of a navy man, we will have to admit that at least the civilian is comparatively permanent in his community and has the opportunity of a permanent home; whereas the navy man has scarcely a chance to own his own home in his chosen locality while he is active in the service.

Transfers here, there and everywhere make it impossible in most cases. Transportation is granted by the government to the families of men who have reached the rating of first class petty officers Up until then, if a man is to have his family with him while on a tour of duty, he must finance their trip himself and it isn't easy on a salary of $79 a month to finance a trip to, shall we say, Hawaii. This letter is written partly to clarify and correct some of Mrs. Carter's statements, and also to point out to the reading public the fact that all of our pensioned or retained navy men do not retire on chief petty officers pensions of $103 a month After alL we do have men who have served their 20 years who have not reached the rating of chief and their retainment pay is of course less. I have formed the impression from the various letters printed that the general belief is the fact that $103 ia the retainment pay of all men who have reached the 16 or 20 year goal.

THE RIGHT WORD By CURTIS W. NICHOLSON "MORE MAD" A reader writes: "Will you please explain the use of 'more' with adjectives. Is it wrong to say or use 'more' with 'mad'? Example: He was more mad yesterday than today. My husband says it is wrong, but I do not think so because 'more' can be used with words of one or two syllables in accordance with which sounds better." Answer: First let us consider the question of comparing adjectives whether "er" and "est" should be added or whether the adjective should be preceded by "more" or "most." Generally speaking, adjectives of one syllable should be compared by the addition of "er" and "est;" as. mad: madder; maddest: short: shorter; shortest.

Adjectives of two syllables may be compared by either adding "er" and "est" or by preceding them with "more" and "most;" as. happy, happier; happiest: happy; more happy; most happy. But adjectives of three or more syllables are usually compared by preceding them with "more" and "most." Example: heterogeneous; more heterogeneous. According to usage, your husband's point of view is right. But the use of "mad" for "angry" is not so good.

Say "angry." No doubt your husband will' agree with this. "Aggravate "Aggravate" is another word that should be used with thought. So many people speak of being aggravated by a remark or by some one's attitude, when this word really means to make worse. This meaning has gained in usage, but it were better to say you have been annoyed. (Copyright, 1939, by the Associated Newspapers) THIRTY YEARS AGO A report of piratical activities at Christmas island, where the wreck of the steamer Aeon is reported to have been pillaged and dynamited, has reached Honolulu.

James D. Mclnerny, agent for Messrs. Coffee Duffy, who bought the wreck for salvage, received a cable today from the Australian firm to the effect that the entire wrecked steamer had disappeared. The message said that the steamer had probably been looted and dynamited. This will be confirmed when Eben (Rawhide) Low reaches Christmas island on the schooner Concord to salvage the wreck.

Value of the cargo is estimated at $410,000. Local shipping men believe the wreck may have slipped off the reef and sunk instead of being dynamited. TWENTY YEARS AGO After eight months in France in the service of the American Red Cross, Mason F. Prosser. local attorney, returned to Honolulu today.

As leaving SOME FACTS ON NAVY PAY AND EXPENSES Editor The Star-Bulletin, Sir: I have been reading with keen interest the many letters your paper has received regarding the navy yard workers at Pearl Harbor and Luke Field. After having read Mrs.

Madge Carter's letter, which appeared in the March 2 edition, I have been spurred on to voice my opinion, not directly perhaps in regards to whether or not the navy yards should employ men of our navy who are receiving pensions, but merely to express what I believe is the voice of the vast majority of the enlisted personnel of the navy today. Being a navy wife myself, I believe I should be well qualified to ask Mrs. Carter, who also has been captioned "Another Navy Wife," if, when she states in her letter that "Bnlisted men are furnished living quarters or given ample allowance to cover expenditures for rent," just how much territory does her statement cover? I am married to a navy man myself and can well remember when his monthly pay check amounted to the vast sum of $54 and there were no living quarters supplied, nor were there any allowances expended for rent. Our rent was paid out of our meager little pay check of $34 a month. From $54 to $59 a month was the next step and expenses went on as before, until now we are living on $79 a month here in Honolulu, where rents, foods, are not to be considered reasonable, I believe, and still we pay our own rent.

This is not just the case of a small minority of our enlisted men, but the great majority. I can't quite grasp the meaning of Mrs. Carter's statement in regards to the above, for. unless she hasn't made herself quite clear, one would assume from the above mentioned that she is referring to the navy Towering mountains grow engulfing Distended eyes.
