SMALL FARMERS AND
THE PUBLIC LANDS

Editor MISUNDERSTANDING to
communication published in your
paper last week regarding the area for
small farms.
As l understand II many OF the
small tracts, say thirty to fifty acres
each. that have been taken up under
the various clauses of the land law of
the Territory have been, l am inform
ed, sold to the nearest plantation di-
reetly title has been secured. This is
particularly the case on Hawaii, where.
l am also informed. men were employ
ed by plantation men to live on the
land long enough to get title and then
surrender 1t to them. When 1 say men
were employed l mean they were
employed to register the land in their
name at the land otriee and accept pay
for the service from the plantation
man who gave them the job. Your
correspondent, who insists that the
small farmer should have not less than
forty acres, may be one of that class.
He may be one who would sell for the
prOverbial mess of pottage, and would
keep out, rather than bring in, new
citizen.
The smaller tract idea appeals to
me because, from the accounts have
read OF the profit in raising pIneaDples
IS large enough to satisfy any out a
really graspIng man. 1t is not the
mission OF the government to eneour-
age the gentleman farmer so much
as II Is TO encourage a class that will
build up the section in which he NAV
settle by hard work and example. The
man who can earn and get two thou
sand dollars a year will stay in the
city. And so will the man who can
get twenty-five hundred dollars a wear
for his services, so that it would be
unwise for the government TO open up
lands and encourage any but the work
ers-drOnes are not wanted in the
Paradise of the Pacific.
There are in the cities Of the main
land thousands who would be willing
10 come here and settle on ten acres
OF land if it was cheap enough, but it
should not be so eheap that the gov
eminent would not get what it is
worth. l am opposed to giving up
everything on a chance. and for that
reason l do not consider it lust to
those who are here, and who have been
paying taxes for years. to sell lands so
eheaplv that We are to get no benefit
in the way Of extra schools.
