JUDGE HATCH ON SUGAR
INDUSTRY OF HAWAII

The American Economist contains the
following:
Appearing before the Committee on
Ways and Means to give testimony as
to the needs of the sugar growing in
dustry of Hawaii, Mr.. F. NJ. Hatch, rep.
resenting the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association, made the following state
rcnt:
The sugar industry of Hawaii today
shows an actual investment of over
100000 900.
The property representing this invest
ment is assessed for taxation purposes
in an aggregate sum of 500, 100000.
There are seventy plantations whose
shares of stock are widely distributed
in individual holdings. The corporate
organization has been adopted as a
method of cooperation, as well as to
secure limited liability of investors.
Without the latter the development of
an industry involving as much risk as
is involved in starting a sugar planta-
ton could not have taken place in a
community having so little accumulated
capital as Hawaii. The result has been
that almost the entire community in
Hawaii is interested in, and to large
extent dependent upon, the sugar bust
ness; both directly as shareholders, sug-
ar stocks being widely distributed
among the people as above pointed out
and indirectly through connection with
a hundred and one forms of business
dependent upon sugar for existence.
Notwithstanding the very promising
results expected and to some extent OBJ
tanned by the new industries now being
started in Hawaii, which have excited
great local interest, sugar continues the
mainstay of the islands. 1t is the sug-
ar industry which pays the great bulk
of the taxes and without which the Ter
ritory could not keep up its schools
and other institutions, and would, in
fact, become speedily insolvent. The
vital Importance of the upkeep of this
industry in Hawaii to the entire popu-
lation of the islands cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
Hawaii is handicapped by heavy cost
of production in sugar and by a large
marketing expense. Cultivation is in
tensive, replowing follows every second
ration crop; irrigation and the fertili.
zers used add greatly to the cost of
production.
The following table shows the capital
invested, percentage of profit and divi-
dends paid, with New York prices of
raw sugar, for the last five years for
which the figures are available. The
results in 1907 would not materially
change the averages; the returns for
1908 are not yet at hand, but the crop
will be larger than in previous years,
amounting to $4,000 short tons:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-05

asked for sugar plantations operating
under average conditions. The records
for the last fve-year period show an
nual profits per hundred pounds of su,
gar as follows: II cents, "a cents,
62S cents, $50 cents and 5S.S cents,
an average of 57.3 cents.
This demonstrates how relatively
small and uncertain the margin of
profit is; the wide fluctuations in the
world s price of sugar makes the I'M
certainty even more pronounced.
This average profit on Hawaiian sug-
ar production during the last five
year period of about 57.3 cents per
hundred pounds was approximately the
same as that of the beet sugar pro-
ducers of the United States; if the
duty had been one-half cent per pound
less, the earnings would have been
about 7.3 cents per hundred pounds.
A reduction of half cent per
pound on the sugar tariff within the
last fve-year period would have made
a decrease of 6.06 per cent. on the
total earnings of Hawaiian sugar plan
tations; this would more than have
wiped out all the dividends paid dur
ing those years, and would have left
the entire industry without any re-
turn on the capital invested after al
lowing for depreciation.
No agricultural or industrial enter
prise can reasonably be expected to
do business on a smaller margin than
per cent. average earnings where
there are conditions of hazard such as
inevitably exist in the sugar industry.
Any material reduction in the sug-
ar schedules would cause an immedi-
ate and crushing loss on existing prop
critics, and complete Generalization
of the commerce and industrial life of
Hawaii. Hawaii is practically one
crop country. No remunerative crop
exists to replace sugar if this should
have to be abandoned. The capital in
vested in sugar would become almost
a total loss, the most expensive parts
of sugar plants not being available for
other purposes.
The loss would not be confined to
the sugar business; much more than
the fate of single industry is in
volved, so far as Hawaii is concerned.
A disorganization of the sugar in
dustry would be public disaster, the
effect of which upon the Territory as
a whole would be unreasonable.

via ~
Average New York prices of 96 raws
have been as follows: 1902, .03542;
1903, .o372; 1904, .03974; 1905, .0427S;
1906, .036S6; average, .03S4.
The five years covered in the above
table represent fair average of the
sugar industry in Hawaii; they include
the year 1905, when the price of raw
reached the highest point in the past
ten years. The average price in New
York for 90 centrifugal sugars during
the FIVE years covered was 3.84 cents;
this figure is above the normal price for
sugars, and is higher than may reason
ably be expected in the next FIVE years
under present tariff conditions.
Sugar is almost the only staple com
modify that has not materially al-
vanced in price to the consumer dur
ing the life of the Dingley Tariff law.
While meat, flour, lumber, shoes, steel
products and coal have advanced from
90 to 40 per cent, the average cost
of sugar to the actual consumer has
remained substantially the same for
the past ten years.
The average price of graduated sug
ar during the first year of the Ding
ley Tariff was 40 cents; the average
price during ten years Of the Dlngley
law has been ass cents.
Exaggerated statements are fire.
qhently seen in regard to yields and
profits in the Hawaiian sugar industry.
The average yields of 4.403 short tons
per acre for an eighteen months crop
in Hawaii have been made possible by
the most scientific and expensive sys-
tenn of agriculture; the milling proc
esses have also been developed until
they are the most efficient in the
| world.
Cuban yields per acre through ten
year period would be approximately
two and half tons per acre on new
| lands.
In Hawaii a crop requires eighteen
months to mature; hence the average
yield of an acre of land in ten years
would be 29.354 short TONS or an aver
age of 2935 tons annually. In addi-
ton to this, time must be lost for fire.

Victim of the Parlor.

An Atchison woman recently had
an old-fashioned experience. She
called on an oldfashioned couple who
took her into The Parlor It was a
cold day, and there hadn't been a fire
in The Parlor in two years. But it
was The Parlor, and contained a mar
bletopped table. an art square and a
blue bird i'm each corner, and a sofa
and one dozen fancy cushions. The
host had a bad cold, and the hostess
coughed all the time and the guest
was sneezing, but, nevertheless, they
must sit in The Parlor and expert
ence all the delights OF looking at
the handicapped centre table, the art
square with a blue bird in each cor
ner, and the sofa and the one dozen
fancy cushions. The guest asked to
be taken to the sitting room, where
there was a fire.
NO indeed" said the hostess. you
are our company, and we always Hon
or our Company by seating them in
The Parlor."
The guest never learned what eff
feet the cold room had on her host
and hostess, for she caught a cold that
settled ON her lungs. and died the
next week. And I'm her final delirum
or fever all she talked about was mar
bletopped tables. art squares and blue
birds and fancy sofa cushions.-Atch-

INTERMITTENT LIMPING.
Painful Disease Where Rest and
Care Are Most lmportant.

Intermittent limping is a disease,
or rather a symptom, occurring in
man. which is sometimes compared
to spring halt horses. 1t begins
gradually with weakness. stiffness
and pains in one or both legs, some
times shooting from hip to ankle.
If a determined effort is made to
continue using the affected limb all
these symptoms grow persistently
more severe, the leg may become
quite rigid. with stretched tendons,
as if it were on the rack. The dis
tinctive symptom. however. is that all
these symptoms cease when the leg
is allowed to rest The limping is
the direct result of the weakness
and stiffness and pain. When these
subside as the result of rest, which
they always seem to do, then for a
time there is no limp, and hence the
name intermittent limping."
When the symptoms are at their
height there is great deal of con-
gestion, the veins are distended with
blood, the leg, and especially the
foot, looks dark, and there may be
an outbreak of little red spots on
the skin.
In conjunction with these symp-
toms is found another which is very
significant No pulse can be felt in
the back artery of the foot, showing
that the arterial circulation is at
fault. Unless properly treated this
trouble may go on to very disagree
able and finally to grave results. A
condition of muscular atrophy may
set in, with continuous pain in spite
of rest, and in advanced stages dry
gangrene may develop, which calls
for surgical Intervention.
This trouble is believed to be
caused by an insufficient supply of
blood to the affected part. 1t is
thought that the reason why the
symptoms are not noticed. or rather
are not present, during rest is that
then the blood supply is sufficient for
the small demand, but that as soon
as the sufferer demands from his
limb any work at all it requires more
nourishment.
The disease may persist for years,
and the treatment is that Of meeting
the symptoms as they arise. Com.
plete rest in the earlier stages is not
advisable, but the amount of exercise
should be very strictly controlled.
Massage and treatment by electricity
are often of benefit. and tonics
should be given for the general con.
dition. Great care should be exer.
cised that the affected part receive
no injury, such as comes from a blow
or cut, because not being properly
fed with blood the part is always be-
low par in vitality, and gangrene
may be the result. The case then
becomes of course a surgical one.
