WHAT CAIIlt READY

The members of the Hawaiian Stock
breeders Association met this morning
III annual meeting in the rooms of the
Planters Association in the Judd build
ing. The meeting was called for y
o'clock but lit was some time after
that hour before enough stockmen were
present to justify President Julian
Monsarrat in calling the body to order.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the meeting
was called to order but owing TO the
absence of A. +. Judd, secretary, ad.
journment was taken to IL o'clock.
During the brief session enough de-
|veloped to show the main issues Of the
meeting In the announcements for
the annual meeting, 1t was stated that
the principal subject aside from routine
business would be the consideration OF
"ria Mutton and Beef Industry in Ha-
wall with Reference Ia the Market In
Honolulu"
! Z. L. McCandless offered report on
the number Of cattle on Oahu, mat
ter which he had been appointed to In
vestisate and report.
The giving of this report in open
meeting was objected to by DIR. Ray
mond, who said he objected to the
private business Of stockmen being
brought into the open meeting, DR.,
,, Raymond said he intended to make a
notion TO have a committee appointed
10 consider such reports as that of MIR
McCandess, along with the main ques
ton of the day. These were matter,
:. which, in his mind, did not concern the
bubble and should not be presented IL
open meeting.
Mr., Mct.sddiess stated in reply tina
there was nothing secret or private II
y his report. What he had to offer coul'
I've obtained by any one from the pupii
tax records. He had merely CLEANED
his information from the tax book
and in giving the total of cattle Of
. Oahu, obtained in this manner he di
y. not consider that he was giving ou
~ any ones private business.
The McCandless report, however
gave way 10 thS regular oiuei VI """
u ness.
le The whole thing in nutshell seem
H. TO be that some OF the stockmen do nc
IL want the question OF the cattle suppl
and demand thrashed out publicly.
was said by one cattleman that III
I'd actual number OF marketable cattle
ne the Islands is very much below what
ed seems to be from reports made to Il
ed Honolulu markets.
II The system in vogue In the past
marketing cattle requires reports fro
each ranch of the number ready for Il
II. market. If the supply is more tina
oh the demand, each rancher is suppose
er to contribute his pro rata share, thu
Ia. each one having fair show In u
ny market.
II is charged by some of the cattl
men that the practice prevails on sor
nh. ranches of reporting as ready for ms
IN, ket, twice the number actually read
og The object of padding these reports
no TO work of all marketable cattle
nv quickly as they are ready. The IN
nh who reports 200 ready when he has on
100. will probably get an order for !
steers, while the man with so rea
=, and reporting only SO. will. under
' same circumstances find market
- only 20. 1t Is these phases of the C
a~. tie business that II ia sought to ha
w considered in committee instead
open meeting.
