LOUISsON ON COFFEE.

A. l.. Louisson coffee grower of Ha-
makua, was the next witness, saying in
preface that he had come to Hamakua
five years ago, since which time he has
been engaged in that industry
Mr.. Louission then recited the va
rious points which must be considered
in raising coffee. such as the Ameri-
canizing of the Territory, the labor and
agricultural features, and then said
that while Hawaii raised $4,000 bags
of coffee under protection this would
grow to nearly 100000 bags. After
saying that Hawaii had a revenue duty
of seven cents a pound on coffee he
urged that this product be used for re-
ciprocal treaty features. He urged city
and county measures at once.
Mr.. Louisson said that he would adj
voCate a duty of five cents, a sum
which would pay for the picking of the
crop. This he said would perhaps en-
nance the price of coffee a little but not
not as much as the duty. The hOeing
Of the trees was done by Japs, VINO re-
ceived $40 a month, but the picking is
done by Portuguese women and chill
dren, who earn well by the piece sys-
TEN. There are 200 acres in the. Louis
son plantation. In kona there are sew
eral plantations. but owing to the low
price of coffee practically all but two
have been abandoned. The best coffee
fields were on the higher lands, the
witness having now fields planted at
from 1900 to 23O0 feet.
The picking would average about 125
or $50 pounds of cherry, though he has
known $50 pounds picked by one wom-
an.
To Senator Mitchell Mr.. Louisson
said that If there could be no duty the
placing of a bounty would accomplish
the same purpose. and he fixed this at
four cents Il pound. He said he did
not believe coffee could be grown here
and laid down in San Francisco for
less than ten cents a pound. The Bra
lillian No. Z. the standard, was selling
in New York at 5i2 to 5& cents a
pound. Hawaiian Coffee once sold in
San Francisco at 10 to p cents and now
nets liz cents for the most favorable
plants.
AS to the age at which coffee begins
to bear he said four years should pro-
duce rich and excellent coffee, but
no one could yet tell what would be the
ire OF the tree, DIS the experiments heu
not yet progressed.
Senator Mitchell asked what would
result from Congress falling to give re-
lief; the witness said his plantation was
most favored and he had put in so
much capital that he could live. He
explained that there We're many small
men who had already abandoned their
plantations.
Mr.. Mechanism interjected a query

600 by Hackfeld & Co., and Mr.. Peck
took it up. answering that the difficulty

IONA RAILROAD ASSESSMENT
INCREASED.

The executive council has raised the
railroad assessment to $5l, ,1l2,8l4, an
increase of $4,04l ,556 over the assess.
ment of 1901. This is the largest assess.
n ent ever made upon the railroads Of
Iowa and the largest increase ever made
over preceding years assessment ex-
cept in 1887. In that year, through the
exerhons of Governor Larabee, the as
sessment was increased more than $5,.
O00, 600 over what it had been in 1856.
The Chicago & Northwestern and the
Milwaukee systems will have to bear
half of the increase. The increase on
the Northwestern line amounts to$l,.
1905 That on the Milwaukee is $500,
S62. The G. b. & Q. is also called on to
bear a largely enhanced assessment. its
increase being $685. ,457.
The increase falls almost entirely upon
the larger systems OF trunk lines. All
but S6S, 1853 Of the total raise is borne by
nine large systems. The following table
shows how the increase is distributed

Speaking of the antitrust amendment
proposed by the republicans in the

No changes were made in the assess
meuts of the Iowa Central and the
Wabash systems. OF the total assess
ment, but $l92, 900 is made on new track.
While actually there has been large
increase in the assessment, as compared
with the gross earnings, there has been
but small relative raise. The total
assessment year ago was S47,O7l, ,25S.
The gross earnings the preceding year
were $52,354 ,Sl7. The percentage of as.
sessment to gross earnings was 500.
The gross earnings reported this year
for 1901 were $56, ,079, ,943. The percent.
age of this years assessment to the
gross earnings Of the roads is a little
over 81 per cent. In other words on
the basis Of gross earnings, the assess-
ment y. Of this year is one per cent greater
than it was year ago.
The assessment of the main line of
the G. B. 4 @. was raised FROM $ll $50 to
$l2. .250 per mile, on increase of 81. COO
per mile.
The Charlton branch was raised from
IS 800 to 81 900, the K. 4 w. Main line
