alton of $500 per acre placed on bana-
mas IS an APPLE of tax values placed
on crops. The system of taxation on
growing crops is wrong and our tax
system needs revising. The exemption
of the pineapple industry from taxa
ton for five years by the last legisla-
ture is a relief from unjust taxation,
but a questionable policy if a just
system OF taxation prevailed. What
is most needed is justice in taxation
rather than special exemption. The
farmer of average intelligence is not
seeking the special favor of relief from
his due share of maintaining the gov
eminent, but rather that the burden be
equaliZed and values , for taxation
placed on tangible assets, rather than
on crops that may be in existence at
tax time, and never harvested from
some of the many causes that often
prevent him reaping what he has sown
Another crop which has received spe
cial favor from the last legisla turc in
the way of exemption is ''manioc" or
cassava, from the tuber of which starch,
tapioca and ''manioca meal are OBJ
tanned. This plant is one of the most
valuable crops to be grown if properly
made use of. It is of great value for
fattening ali kinds of animals as well
as for the products that are manu-
featured from it. Its period of matur-
ity is about nine or ten months but
the tuber will remain in the ground for
months without deterioration. increas-
ing in size. "Manioca meal is as i'm
portant an item of food for large COM
munities of South America as rice to
the OrientaIs. I believe this will be
the great emergency ration" for our
army in case of siege to these islands
if such an event should ever take place.
No one plant used with meat, will
produce SO much valuable food in an
available fresh state: for it can be
dug as needed practically every month
of the year This fact in a climate like
ours where all cereal foods soon spoil
or become infected by insects is of the
utmost Importance in selecting an
available food for emergency use. and
il will be found much better than
sweet potatoes and vans. From the
meal a very palatabIe bread or cake
is made by the people of South Amer
lean countries besides being used in
porridge and various other ways; the
tuber is also roasted like potatoes.
This plant is grown quite extensively
on Kauai. where starch is naanufac-
tured and the waste used for fatten-
ing cattle.

blamed for all the failures-of what

conceivable occupation where the white

ten citizens will tell you they cannot

such statements are made by promi-
nent men in Honolulu is more than the
writer can understand. Having been
brought up on the farm in California,
doing all kinds of farm work there
and here, / am ready to affirm that it
is not more trying to labor i'm the sun
here than in California. On my own
farm here white men are working, do

are made by persons who have not

statement that the white man cannot
labor in this climate stands unchal-
lenged. 1t is q nisstatement, as can
be verified by any one who is seeking

ditions. he must pay the penalty as
he would in any country. There are
such unhealthy local conditions in
places on these islands. as Wen as
elsewhere. but the reputation Of the
whole Territory cannot in justice be

such conditions are the exception. not

been grown for years and had quite d

planted indiscriminately in unfavor-

prices, caused a reaction and abandon
