Now that the Congressman have lert
for their trip to Maui and Hawaii,
Secretary of the Territory E. A. Mott
Smith will have more time to spend on
other matters. Among these will be
the preparation of plans for the re-
ception of the Pacific feet, which
should arrive here Friday afternoon
nor F,rear will be away Mott-Smith
will have to take charge of this work
in person, though he will not be en-
titled to the honors OF an acting gov
ernor on account of the fact that the
chief executive is still in the Terri
tory. AS yet no definite plans for the
reception have been made.

land to such extent as shall be de-
cided to be sufficient
This is one of the proposed amend
ments to the land laws which were
endorsed at the last session of the Le-
gislature. OF course action by Con-
gress will be needed before any such
thing can be arranged. In regard to
the plan proposed by Mr.. McCandIess
would say thar it is apparently a very
good suggestion. or course the en-
ployment of aliens should relate only to
the cultivation of the land and not
bar a man from having a Chinese or
japanese cook If he desired it. Yes,
l believe that If Congress made the
necessary changes in our land laws
this could be done illegally. 1t is a
matter which should be considered Sc
riously, however, before being finally
decIued on"

Governor Frear stated this morning
that while he would be inclined to
favor the plan suggested by Link Nc
Candless in yesterdays Star that home
stead land should be sold to citizens
with a proviso that it should be cul-
tivated only by citizen labor and other
wise revert to the government, but
states that this cannot be done under
the present land laws. lie states that
perhaps some notifications would be
best in this plan and that for this rea-
son he would not care to endorse it
fully at present Changes in the land
laws before such a scheme would be
legal are necessary, however.
In speaking on this subject Governor
Frear said:
II am strongly in favor OF such
changes in the land laws as will pre-
vent the transfer of homestead lands
to any corporation even after the pa
tent has been granted, or to any indi-
vidual who already owns homestead

of the current year. However, if the
Board keeps within the appropriations
already made, regular and special, as
closely as possible, it should come oIt
about even on December 81. 10 that
end no extra appropriations of large
amount should be made.
There is more money available from
the Territory than it now pays to the
Ci&y and County each month, but your
committee would remind the Board
that the extra monthly amount, pro-
missed if needed, will probably all be
required for the proposed belt road

This met with the approval Of the
Board and the report was adopted.

garbage, parks and public improve
ments presented pay roll demands for
