JARED SMITH ON FUTURE
Of THE SUGAR INDUSTRY
He Believes That the Plantations Will Eventually
Be Cut Up Into Small Holdings With
Advantage to All Concerned.

Editor Advertiser: It is an easy
matter in any discussion of public
events to sound the cry that dust is
being raised for the purpose of con-
fusing the mental vision of the jury
that is to decide as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused. In the case
of the Pinkham commission, who or
what is it that is on trial? Is it the
small farmer as against the white me-
chanic and laborer? L do not think
so. Is it sugar cane versus diversified
industries? To my mind the planta-
ton system, as existent in Hawaii is
on trial for its life. The case will prob
ably be continued through many terms
of court and appeal will be taken on
every debatable noint to the highest
tribunal-Congress and the President.
A cheap and abundant supply of la
Dor is one of the chief factors toward
a continuation of the plantation sys-
tenn indefinitely, but it is not the dom
inant factor. The one factor that makes
possible the cultivation of any crop
on a business basis similar to that en-
ployed in the case of a bank, or rail-
road, or a manufacturing corporation, |
is that all the arabic land suited for
that crop shall be owned by a Imitad |
number of individuals or corporations
rather than by a large number of in
1iViduals. Where the land is cut upi
nto small holdings the cultivation of
