PEARL HARBOR PRICES.

The idea that Pearl Harbor improve
ment has been held back all these
years by avarice on the part of land
owners contradicts the record. The
United States Government long held
an option on about half an island In
Pearl Lochs for 81 and the Bishop es-
tate land which 1t now wants, WAS Of
fered over and over again for $50 per
acre Uncle Sam was not ready to buy.
Then came the sugar boom and the dis
scovery that the, Harbor realty would
earn large interest on $1,000 per acre;
and that the mainland holdings were
immensely valuable, those used for viii
,fage purposes at Pearl City being worth
5000 per acre today. Within the past
two years every inch of the soil required
by the Government for naval purposes
could have been sold at an upset price
ofii$1, 900 per acre, and what land will
bring in the open market is a fair cri-
terion of what land is worth.
It is absurd, therefore, to accuse the
Pearl Aarbor landowners of any desire
TO cinch the national Government
They have, in fact, been self-sacrificing
In the past and would, no doubt, sell to
Uncle Sam now at a lower price than
to any other customer. But 1t is not
human nature to give away ones pat
rimony even to the nation; nor can the
nation make such a form of sacrifice a
test of individual patriotism.
The condemnation suits will come off
under the laws of the Territory, and
will be conducted without feeling or
acrimony and in the interests of fair
play between owners and buyers. They
would not have been needed, however
III Uncle Sam had bought land at the
Harbor when it was cheap.
