Hawaii Territory Is Desirous to Enter the Union
ASHINGTON—Hawaii territory wants to be a state. A concurrent reso
lution adopted by the Hawaiian legislature sets torth this desire. The
territory also wants various legislation at the hands of congress.
A Hawaiian commission will pre
sent to congress a series of concurrent
resolutions adopted by the Hawaiian
legislature setting forth the desires of
the territory.
Gov. Charles J. McCarthy heads
the commission, which includes Attor
ney General Harry Irwin, Senator Rob
ert W. Shingle, Senator John H. Wise,
secretary of the commission; Repre
sentative William T. Rawlins and Rep
resentative Henry J. Lyman.
The members of the commission, it
is announced, will initiate no discussion of the Japanese question.
Authority to incur public debt in an amount of 3 per cent in excess of the
amount fixed by present laws, 7 per cent, is to be sought from congress. The
present debt is $10,894,000. The additional money is said to be seriously
needed for road building and schools.
Another proposal is that the governor, land commissioner and land board
be given the right to pass upon qualifications of applicants for homesteads, to
assure that “the remaining small body of agricultural land should be settled
by a class of farmers who will remain the active owners thereof, and inter
ested and actively concerned in its development.”
Other concurrent resolutions to be put before congress ask:
A law requiring residence of not less than one year in Hawaii for eligibil
ity to appointment to federal office in the territory.
Extension to Hawaii of the farm loan act and the reclamation act of
June 17, 1902.
Appropriation of $1,000,000 for roads, pipe lines and water works in home
stead tracts.
Permission for Hawaii to retain 50 per cent of all customs and internal
revenues collected, in the territory.
Long-time leases on arid lands upon which water may be brought.
JADE GREEN CHIFFON GOWN
This evening creation of jade green
chiffon will be “just the thing” for
tunning evening' wear. Violets, or
chids and crystal beads make this
lovely gown one that appeals.
One Way to Wa.sh Bedding.
An easy way to wash bed quilts or
comfortables is to take a small scrub
brush and a pa-il of suds and scrub
well the most soiled parts. Place the
article over a table to do this. Sec
ond. place article on clothesline and
rinse with the garden hose. Let the
full force of water soak the quilt or
comfortable well. This may need he
done several times, but the result is
a good, clean comfortable without pull
ing apart the lining.
For Little Folks' Frocks.
One of the latest and really most
sensible things for the children’s
frocks is unbleached muslin. It lends
itself admirably to decoration, too,
especially when made into “Peter
Thompson” suits.
SCOUTS CANVASS FOR COAL.
In the midst of the coldest weather
in 30 years Butte, Mont., was virtually
without coal. In addition thousands
were out of work as a result of in
dustrial shut-downs due to the coal
shortage, and many families were in
want. For several days the poorer fam
ilies of the city had been supplied with
fuel by destruction of old wooden
buildings, dating back to Butte’s early
days, but this source became ex
hausted. Boy scouts, in a canvass of
the city, obtained 600 pounds of coal,
which was distributed in small lots
where most needed.
