A cent a pound duty on
sugar seems to have come
closer than a possibility and
reached probability. Ha-
waii will benefit by this action
to an extent that will extend
the smile on everyone's coun.
tenance. Should it 20 the
other way there will be long
faces and few smiles. This is
one of the disadvantages of a
locality where nearly every
thing depends upon a single
industry Hawaii is not alone
in this respect. Take any of
the mining towns in the United
States; directly a lead peters
out the place is deserted.
Twenty-Five or thirty years
ago one Of the most thriving |
towns in Colorado was Kit
Carson; it was the distributing
point for all of southern Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, outfits
were formed there and pro-
duce for the mining towns in
the lower country was largely
purchased there; everyone was
prosperous and houses went
up like mushrooms; then the
railroad built a line to La
Junta in the south and Kit
Carson as mercantile town
was reduced to a pile Of empty
tins and a water tank while La
unta jumped into prominence.
Kit Carson had but one source
to wealth, or if it had others
they were not developed.
While Hawaii is not in the
identical position of this faded
from-view town there is a simi.
larity. This country has un-
developed sources Of revenue
but Legislation in the past has
. been "agin it." The thousands
Of acres of valuable and unim
proved land should be opened
up for settlement; let the coun.
try be opened up to the small
farmer. There was a time
when the Island Of Maui fur.
nished potatoes to California,
now we look to California and

day "spuds." There is no rea-
son why this change should
have taken place. Maui exists
to-day ir the same locality as
when California reached its
hand out to gather in our pro
duce. If Maui is not big
enough to raise potatoes for
the inhabitants Of the Hawaiian
Islands, what is the matter with
}. enlisting the services Of Ha.
waii and Oahu? When the
