P. W. Reader. who was a witness be-
fore the senate Hawaiian investigation
committee to-day. He is a citizen of the
United States and resident of Cedar

whether American lives and property
were not ia jcoparCty when the marines
were landed from the Boston, he de-
clared that no such condition existed.
The Sunday after the queen had made
her unsuccessful attempt to change the
constitution was as quiet as any other
Sabbath on the islands. The children
played in the streets and people went
about their business as if nothing I'M
usual had happened, or was expected
to heppen. There were occasional
squads of men discussing the situa-
ton, but there did not appear to be
any excitement. There were no armed
men on the streets until the troops
from the Boston landed.

Horticultural Notes for February.

E.. F. Stephens, president of the State
Horticultural Society, contributes the
following:
The habit of many orchardists is to
trim trees from March to June and to
defer pruning until that time. Ex-
perience shows that trees may be trim
med at any time after leaves fall when
wood is not frozen. The mild days of
November, December, January or Feb
ruary are preferable for such work.
March is often a rough, clustering
month, disagreeable for orchard work.
In winter labor is cheaper and in less
active demand. Leisure for more care
full work is at hand. Pruning deferred
until spring opens is often lost sight
of in the rush of spring business. There
is also loss of vigor in pruning after
trees are in leaf. Remove most of the
water shoots, dead limbs and such
limbs as will in future crowd or CT oss
each other. In removing large limbs
it is well to follow in day or two and
coat the cut surfaces with a thick paint
of lead and oil.
In the large orchards the use of mall
let and chisels on limbs one-half to
one-and-a-half inches in diam
eter gives more rapid work. Care
should be used to cut close to the col
lar that wounds may heal quickly.
We pruned most of our 80 acre orchard
December 18th to January 4th. Our
workmen made excellent progress and
found the weather more comfortable
than average March weather This
method avoids all risk and loss of bleed
ing Where trees stand from IL to 16
feet apart in the row, as some orchards
are planted, the alternate trees can be
trimmed fan shape and prolong the
usefulness of trees which must soon be
removed to give the remaining trees
more light, air and moisture.
Young trees should be trimmed an
nually with a knife and not allowed to
reach stages where chisel and saw are
required.
This is the season when rabbits gnaw
young trees, unless extra care is taken
to protect them. Our habit is to pur.
chase tobacco stems from cigar manu-
facturers refuse. Steep, and to the
liquid add pepper or carbolic acid or
blood and little -four to make very
thin adhesive paste. Apply with a
Swab.
Those who neglected the pruning
of grapes should no longer delay to cut
back the fine branches called 1aterala
to three buds. Leave two or thres
Stroug canes Win their cut back lat
era1. and drop these canes to the ground,
where they ought TO be covered with
hay, straw, corn-stalks, or even with
soil. It is not the severity of our win
ter cold that Injuries vines, but the
aridity of the wintry winds The
canes thrown on the ground without
any protection dry less than on trel-

REAL ESTATE ON THE MOVE
MR.. o. w. cRAwFoRD's VIEW OF
THE SITUATION.
4 GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTORS
The City of Huston, Texas, Rapidly Coming
to the Front as q Business Centre
The Real Estate Market Quite
ACtive-No Boom, But just
q Healthy Condition.
IGlohe-Democrat.1

Mr.. o. w. Crawford, secretary of the
National Real Estate association, in
talking over the situation, said: It is
interesting to note the plants of the
people. You see by what small limits
human vision is circumseribed. When
this term of financial depression com
menced, labored editorials appearing
in hundreds of newspapers, put a tale
of woe in the mouths of the whole
people. 1t is startIingly true that the
masses speak the words that the press
gives them to speak.
The country was suffering a relapse
from booming. The real estate men
had promoted the boom-those Pan
here let me say that real estate men,
simon pure, are not boomers. The
boomers are the lawyers, the doctors,
the livery stable men, professors,
boarding house keepers and carpen-
tiers, who unasked and unneeded, flood
our ranks, and like Jonah's gourd,
come up in a night. They serve no
apprenticeship; without knowing the
multiplication table, they tackle the
most absCruse problems in the ca1cu-
luS of our business,
There has been no malignant real
estate fever in tie United States for
several years. The last was in Cali
fornia, and that was almost ancient
history when these bad times set in.
The papers have since found in turn
several all-sufficient causes for full
bank vaults and empty factories. The
press said free silver or silver that is
not free. The people took up the
shout. The press now exclaims, TOO
much tariff or s'Too little tariff. -
Thank fortune they have stopped
talking about real estate booms.
There is only one place in the United
States that know where there is any
marked real estate activity. That is
at Houston, Texas. But it can not
grow into boom, for the agents told
me when I was there last week that
the purchases were small and 80 per
cent of them for cash. The clearing
house reports have advertised Hous-
toms business as out of all proportion
to its population. All railroads run
about half fare, round trip excursions,
once month to Texas. The next one
starts the 18th of February. They
are all alive down there, let me tell
you. Everybody is helping to adver-
tise their fruit lands. The new Hut
chins house sends free beautifully
illustrated book of several hundred
pages, to everyone who writes for it.
1 believe that the cash now boarded
in banks, and which, by the way
don't belong to the banks but
to the people, will be invested
in real estate. The large sub
dividers in Chicago tell me that an
unusually large percentage of their
sales are for cash.

Various Members OF the House Express
Their Views Very Freely.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The call of
the committee for reports was dis
pensed with this morning and the
house went Immediately into COM
mittee of the whole and the
tariff debate was resumed. and Mr..
Covert, Democrat of New York, who
was speaking when the house took
a recess last night, was given unani-
nous consent to complete his speech.
He continued his attack upon the bill,
which he insisted was a sectional
measure, whose burdens would fall on
the East and North. ''When the South
was threatened with force BILL" he
concluded, 1--WE, of the North, stood
shoulder to shoulder with the South
against that bill, because we believed
its operations would be sectional. I
ask you of the South now to join with
us in denouncing this measure which
is sectional"
Mr.. Cox, Democrat, of Tennessee,
followed in support of the income tax,
and argued that if it could bear more
heavily on the East and North than
the South it was because the protec-
tive system dictated by the North and
East had concentrated the wealth of
the country in those sections.
Mr.. w. A. Stone, Republican, Penn
sylvania, opposed the income tax in a
brief but vigorous speech.

Congressman Mcguire Prepares a Bill t,

Congressman Mcguire Prepares Bill to
Put Henry Georges Ideas Into Effect.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Representa-
tive Mcguire of California has drawn
up with great care and study bill
which would give effect to the single
tax theories and he will propose it at
the proper time as a substitute for the
income tax amendment to the Wilson
bill. It will propose to levy
a direct tax of $62, 1922, $50 upon
the value of all land excIu-
sive of improvements thereon, in
the states and territories. It provides
for collection by collectors and assess
ors for each state and territory to be
appointed by the president, or that
states shall collect the taxes them
selves and turn them over to the treas
urer of the United States, retaining
fifteen per cent of the proceeds. Mort
cages on real estate are to be treated
as an interest in the land, and the
tax on the proportion of value repre-
sented by the amount due from the
ortgage shall be a primary charge
against mortgages and will constitute
a lien on the land, to satisfy which it
may be sold. In case the mortgage
fails to pay his proportion, the owner
is to pay it and be entitled to receive
credit for the amount of his mortgage.

is no tax on bread; 1t is no embargo
placed upon prosperity; it is no effort
to prevent prosperity; it is no death
blow aimed at commerce, but it is an
effort to, in some way, require each
citizen to contribute to the govern
ment in proportion to what he has.
Nov let US see some of the advant-
ages that will flow from it. To-day
there are great contentious and strifes
among our people, some feeling that
the others do not contribute their pro-
portiona1 part of the support of the
government. Who would be discon-
tented of a system of government
which taxed only a proportion of the
wealth that was possessed? But we
see around us such fortunes as were
never accumulated in one generation
or two before in the history of the
whole world.
Mr. Chairman, here we have the
most wonderful government that ever
rose, fourished or fe11-''A govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, We have at last dis
covered how to govern man and still
leave him free. This is best done by
protecting him in his life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness and leaving him
to work out his own salvation. ANY
class and favor another cannot long
stand. The spirit of justice which
animates our people viii forbid this.
It should be the duty and the pleas
ure of every American citizen to see
that each other citizen has equal and
exact justice administered to him I'M
der the law, and that wealth,
not poverty, should he taxed. We
think that the enactment of this law
will insure that justice which has so
long been denied. We believe that by
it many who have heretofore not con
tributed their proportional part of
taxes to the support of the govern
ment will be required to do so. Sir, if
l believed that this lawldid not tend
in that direction I would have my
lounge cleave to the roof of my mouth
and my right hand forget its cunning
before would give my voice or my
vote to this measure. But, believing
as do that its adoption will result in
a public benefaction, my whole heart
goes forth in its advocacy and I am
ready to stand or fall with the prin-
cip1e of equity which it carries.
