REPORT OF SECRETARY.

The Hawaii Promotion Committee, IN
its present form, dates from February,
1909. having been formed after series
OF meetings of joint committees OF the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
chants Association. These recommend
ed to the two bodies the creation OF a
committee of FIVE, on which there should
act two members each from the Cham
Der OF Commerce and the Merchants
Association, these four to choose as the
fifth member, one not connected with
either body Vice-President C. NJ.
Cooke, named Messrs. c. L. Wight OF
the Wiider's Steamship Co and James
A. Kennedy of the Interlsland Steam
~ j-ation Co., as the representatives
o: the former body, and President w.
w. Dimond of the Merchants Associa-
ton selected Messrs. w w. Hall of f
Q. Hall & Son, and ]. a. Gilman OF
Castle & Cooke to act for that orgarl-
zation Mr. F. c. Smith OF the Oahu
Railway & Land Co. was chosen the
member at large, and elected Chair
man. the organization being completed
by selection of Mr.. Gilman as acting
Secretary and Treasurer.
The work of securing the necessary
funds was undertaken at once. Gov
ernor Dole recommended TO the Legis-
lature an appropriation for advertising,
and the sums of SIS 900 IN the SIX
months bill, and 5000 in the eighteen
months bill, were set aside for the pur-
pose. In July the time seemed TO have
arrived when active work might be in
augurated with prospect of success,
and a salaried Secretary was chosen,
headquarters opened, and the task of
preparing advertisements, and copy for
printed matter, was undertaken. Work
began August Ist, and during that
month the Committee contracted with
the Frank B. Stevens Company OF New
York, TO place advertisements in various
periodicals, and approved their form,
passed upon a copy for folder, and
the letter press of small booklet, writ
ten for the Committee by DR.. Serene
E Bishop.
This progress was possible owing TO
the fact that the then Secretary of the
Territory George r. Carter, after con-
ference with the Committee, had placed
in its hands the expenditure of the SIS
600 appropriated by the Legislature, 10
be divided. $1,000 for advertising, and
$4,000 for printing. Territorial Com
missioner of Immigration Lansing was
invited to join the Committee, and served
with it during the remainder of the
year.
Advertising was started on Septem-
Der 10th and closed with various jan
uary editions, the total amount so ex-
pended being S5,667-4o.
The first publication of the Committee
was an edition-of $4,000 of Honolulu,
IxTL,+ 70 Gee and How m See If the
expense being $84- so. The Secretary was
sent to San Francisco to secure the pub
LEGATION of editions of 100000 of a gen
eral folder to be known as Hawaii,
and of 100000 of the booklet called
Beauty Spots of Hawaii" Acting IN
der authorization of the Commissioner
of immigration, contracts for printing
these publications were closed at 5000,
the cuts costing in addition S4I6.S5, or a
total for the $4,000 pieces OF SooTo.S5.

nTRtaurE 70 TRUSTS gueARoo.


Says. the Democratic campaign Text
Book: 1.-THE average American family
pays a. tribute of S94 a year to pro-
fected trusts" Well, assuming that
such is the case (Which, by the "a
is very far from the truth)) yet the
average American fansly is to be CON
graduated that it can spare $94 a
year in addition to%the splendid living,
the comforts and luxuries enjoyed,
besides the savings which are laid
aside for the rainy day, besides the
schooling of the children, besides the
insurance policies which are kept up,
besides, perhaps, the investment
made lin the little home and fireside,
it is fortunate we say that the Amer
lean people, after all this splendid
standard of living, has still S94 a
year to pay the protected trusts.
We hardy think that this claim OF
the Democratic managers in their
text book will gain for them any
votes OF men who would like to so
back to the days when they we're
lucky to get s94 to even spend for
bread and butter.

The Democrats speak of the present
tax laws as irremediable legislation:
they write of them as though there
could be no remedy in case they We're
not satisfactory. Now, listen; if these
represent them to be the
best way to put the Republican party
out of business once and for all time
in West Virginia is to let the laws go
into operation. If they fail, then IS
the time to repeal them. Democrats
are afraid for them to go into effect
because they will prove too benef-
cial to the masses of the people.

Let us suppose that our new tax
is defective or imperfect
that it can still be improved or
amended-wouldn't it be better and
safer to send Republicans back TO the
LEGISLATURE to make such improve
ments as may be found to be
sary? Would it pay to trust the
Democrats in such a matter, remem-
bering that they took no steps toward
tax reform during h twenty-five
years they were in control OF the
State? Let this be taken into con
sideration. also, that before the new
laws go into effect there will be an
other legislative session, when, IL
any. imperfections Or wrongs exist
things not now apparent-they can be
righted.

Fargo Forum: A few years ago
the farmers in Sargent and Dickey
counties were forced to conclude that
wheat raising was too hazardous.
Repeated crop failures as result of
drouths and bot winds forced a
change in their methods. They
turned to stock raising and later to
creameries. Their success was remark
able. More recently their wheat
crops yielded larger and as raising
wheat was less laborious and required
less care than handling stock, many
of the farmers drifted back into grain
again and forgot the stock and
creameries. This year those two
counties we're especially hard hit by
rust and some of the farmers declare
they will stay by diversified farming
permanently after this.
That is not 80. The farmers in
this section have not abandoned
diversified farming. They may SOW
more wheat than they did six or eight
years ago but they haven't dropped
the COW yet. The cattle and cream
shipments are going on with increased
regularity each year.
Oakes Republican., 1904-09-02

If Republicans would exercise
more care at caucuses there would be
less dissatisfaction at the polls later.
When the primaries are held men
are apt to be too Indifferent as to who
shall represent them in convention.
Some man may capture the delega-
tion for place on the ticket, he may
be nominated, and the first thing we
hear those men who did not vote are
kicking. He is unworthy; he is unfit;
we cannot support him; never
thought the convention would nomi.
nate him. But conventions are in
the habit of viewing the precinct al
we'll as the man, and if that section
demanded a place on the ticket, the
convention can only recognize the
man endorsed by the precinct. Kick
on a candidate beforehand. The
caucus is one place to settle party
differences and the convention is
another. Vote beforehand, and
when the convention is over be will,
the majority. It is the only way to
build UP a successful party.

Glendale Record: The Oakes
Republican maintained q discreet
silence last week anent the republi-

least deny the allegation.
Both Glendale papers are evident
ly in sweat to have an answer from
the Republican the same week as
their papers are issued. But the
gentlemen should bear in mind that
we are more than busy when their
papers reach our desk. They should
know what "press day" is in a print
ing Office and should practice little
patience. They will be answered, if
they insist on it, in due time.

This week we publish in full the
brief of the County vs.. w. E. Hicks,
as prepared by the attorneys and
presented for the consideration of
the supreme court. It is q document
that should be read by every man
and woman in Dickey county. The
case has attracted considerable inter-
est thruout the state, as many other
county superintendent are in the
same pickle. The contention is
whether or not superintendent are
entitled to draw salary for special
school districts, and also in this case
to decide if Mr.. Hicks is entitled to
the clerk hire he drew himself and
paid to his clerks. The case will
come before the supreme court at
the September term.

The Record puts Editor Goddard

says: 'sMr. Marshall intends that

whatever, and unless his personal

good many cogs their plans will not
miscarry." Which shows that the
Record editor is the worst kind of q
