EXEMPT FORTY ACRES.

The Committee on Agriculture re-
ported on Senate Bill A, the diversified
Industry encouragement act, suggest
ing some important changes, Section
1928 of the Revised Laws being revis-
ed so as to read:
For the five years from December
81, 1907, all property, real and personal,
solely and actually used in the culti-
walton and production of sisal fibre,
castor oil, copra, vanilla extract, Ha-
waiian starch, pineapples, arroWroot
and maniocca starch (cassava), snail
be exempt from property taxes there
on. provided. however, that such ex-
emption shall not apply to any land
in excess of forty acres so used by any
one person, firm or corporation in the
cultivation and production of pine
apples.
your committee feel that such
provision is eminently necessary to be
made for the exemption of property
used in the cocoanut or copra indus
try. which industry is as yet in its
primary stages here, but of immense
value and vast proportions elsewhere
and which can be made as important
here as it is in the other Islands OF
the Pacific, for instance, flaming Is
land and others adjacent, the Tongan
Islands. etc Those desiring to go into
this industry should receive some en-
coura cement, which your committee
now begs to recommend.
I'm reducing the number of two hun
dred acres to forty is matter that
your committee feels justified in sc
doing, inasmuch as the pineapple in
dustry now carried on throughout the
Territory has passed the experimental
stage. The Incorporation of several
companies to carry on this industry
with large capitaliZations will give any
person or persons an exact idea of the
magnitude of the pineapple industry
THE forty acre exemption aimed al
by your committee is recommended tc
aid and encourage any individual OF
moderate means whose chief susie
nance and dependence may be derived
from such industry. 1t is further ar
encourag cement for the so-cailed ''smal
farmer or settler, which is necessa.
rily desired in this Territory, to bring
it up to American lines"
