Warning to Threshers

The attention of the Commission
er of Insurance has been called to
the alleged fact that many threshers
are violating the law under which
every person owning or operating
steam threshers are required to take
out either a bond or an indemnify
ing insurance policy to the amount
of $E00.00 to secure the farmers for
whom they thresh against loss oc-
casioned from fires etfrom the ma
chimes.
Before farmers allow threshers 10
begin they should inquire whether
the thresher has taken out bond or
policy; and, if he has not, to at once
report to this department. My rea-
son for asking this will be seen from
reading the last section of the law.
which reads as follows. to-wit:
VIOLATION
SECTION 3146] Any person who
shall fail to execute a bond or take
out and keep in force the policy of
insurance required in the preceding
section shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than
one hundred ($100) dollars nor more
than three hundred $4,000 dollars.
Let threshers govern themselves
accordingly,
Respectfully,
o. S. BASFORD,
Commissioner of Insurance.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-11

tinued in force the Hawaiian land laws.
These were well adapted to former con-
dltions and are even now fairly suit
able for the purposes of bona fide set
tiers, but with changing conditions they
have been found equally suitable for
the purposes of mere spectators or in
vestors. The object is to settle the
public lands in small holdings with
people who are or will become Ameri-
can citizens.
The present laws provide for home
stealing in four specific ways: "a The
homestead lease, by which one may OBJ
tain small area for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years without charge, ex-
cept small fee. The lease is granted
after occupation and performance or
certain conditions for six years under a
certificate of occupation. The land is
1nalienable. This was intended mainly
for Hawaiians, who require only small
area, and who unless restrained from
alternating the land are often inclined
to mortgage it, make no provision for
payment, and then lose the land under
foreclosure. There is no objection to
this method. (2) The right of pur-
chase lease, by which one may obtain
larger area under a twenty-one- year
lease, paying per cent per annum on
the appraised value, with the right to
obtain patent at any time after three
years, provided he has resided on the
land two years and reduced to eultiva-
ton not less than 25 per cent. This is
the usual method by which land is taken
up by others than Hawaiians. The OBJ
jections to it are that the residence
requirement is inadequate and is so
worded that it can be evaded in large
measure; that the cultivation require
ment is inadequate, because only 10 per
cent need be cultivated for long time,
and "a patent may be obtained at any
time within twenty-one years if only
25 per cent is cultivated for even a
very brief period, and there is no pro-
vision against subleasing, with the re-
suit that by subleasing the holder may
obtain enough In rents to pay for the
land in a short time. The consequence
is that land is sought under this method
by mere spectators. (3) The cash
freehold agreement, which is much like
the right of purchase lease, except that
the land is sold at auction and must be
paid for In four installments, the last
becoming due at the end of three years.
~ The settlement association, by
which group of not less than six per-
sons may take up land under either the
right of purchase lease or the cash free
hold agreement, the members of the as
ISOLATION being the only ones who can
apply. The object of this was to en-
able groups of Americans to take up
adjoining lots, SO that they might OBJ
tain the benefits of a congenial com
munity. The object has not been ac-
complished, and this method has been
made the means of the greatest abuses.

abollshing the other methods which are

SYNOPSIS OF AMENDMENTS
TO THE ORGANIC ACT
Statement by Governor Frear Concerning What
the, Changes Are and Why They
Are Necessary.
Enlarging Constitutional Exceptions

Enlarging Constitutional Exceptions.
Section 1.-Section 5 of the Organic
Act provides that the constitution and
laws of the United States shall apply
to Hawaii, but only SO far as applicable
and with proviso expressly excepting
sections 1850 and 1890 of the Revised
Statutes and certain later statutes. The
main object of the amendment is to
remove the uncertainty, which has not
infrequently caused difficulty, as to
whether the provisions of the Organic
Act are exclusive in regard to the sub
jects to which they relate or whether
other provisions of the Federal laws
which were enacted with special refer
ence to other Territories, although in
general terms, apply also to Hawaii,
Notwithstanding the special provisions
of the Organic Act of Hawaii upon the
same subject.
: Increase Legislators Pay.
Section 2.-The object of this is to
increase the pay of members of the
Legislature from $500 to 5000 for a
regular session and abolish the COM
pensation for any extra session.
Three classes of sessions are now
PioFluOu lOl ny the OISduIC ACT, udulo-
ly, regular sessions, special sessions, and
extra sessions. The last named is the
session which the Governor is obliged
to call Immediately after a regular SEES
sion in case the Legislature fails to
make the necessary appropriations dur
ing the regular session. The Legisla
ture regularly failed to pass the neces-
sary appropriations at the regular ses-
sion in order that they might obtain
the pay $4,000 for the extra session,
which, of course, was very short. This
was done until Congress began to make
appropriations for expenses of the
Legislature with a proviso that there
should be no compensation for an ex-
ira session. The amendment incorpo-
rates this proviso as a permanent pro-
vision, and the salary of the regular
session is increased by the amount of
the salary thus done away with for an
extra session
1t is desirable that the salary of the
regular session should be increased.
The session is sixty days in length3 ex
elusive of Sundays and holidays; living
at the capital is somewhat expensive,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-11

and these reasons, as well as the crea-
ton of numerous offices with higher
salaries under the recently established
county governments, has made it diff
cult in some of the islands to obtain
the best men for the Legislature. With
the present low salary, Legislators are
often placed before the end of the ses-
sion in the embarrassing position of
feeling obliged to borrow from persons
who have pending bills. These salaries
are paid by the Territory.
Special Session Appropriations.
Section 5, amending section 52.-The
amendment incidentally omits a long
proviso which was of temporary ma
ture and has served it's purpose
The main object of the amendment
is to do away with the uncertainty
caused by the word " biennially' after
the word "made.' AS matter of fact
appropriations are made as a rule only
at the regular biennial sessions and for
the biennial fiscal period, but the pres
ence of the word biennially where it is
has given rise to differences of opinion
as to whether appropriations may be
made at special sessions, as to whether
tAOy may OC db ICSuldI 0CSSlUuo
for the balance of biennial period
not then expired, and as to whether
they may be made to extend beyond
particular biennial period, as, for in
stance, for the purpose of completing
a contract or for the purpose of con-
tinuously devoting the proceeds of GER
tain taxes or the revenues from certain
properties to certain objects.
Territorial and County Bonds.
Section 4, amending section 55.-This
amends in three respects the provision
in regard to the issuance of bonds by
the Territory or any political subdivis-
ion thereof.
(1) The Territorial Supreme Court
has held by way of inference from this
section, as it now reads, that counties
can not be authorized by the Legisla-
ture to issue bonds without having the
power of taxation. The object of the
amendment is to permit the issuance of
bonds without necessarily giving the
counties this power. County govern
ment has been only recently introduced.
The taxes are assessed and collected as
previously by the Territorial govern
ment, and certain portions of them are
turned over to the county governments,
thus having only one set of tax ma
chinery. It is thought by many that
local government should be developed
gradually and only as rapidly as con-
ditions warrant, and that the time has
not yet come for turning over the
power of taxation to the counties. Con-
sequently, unless this amendment is
made, either the counties can not issue
bonds for much-needed public improve
ments, or, owing to the supposed neces-
sity of issuing bonds for such purposes,
the Legislature may feel obliged to
give the counties the power of taxation
earlier than when that would otherwise
seem wise
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-11

~ Inc amendment requires public
bonds to be made payable in not more
than thirty years instead of requiring
them, as at present, to be redeemable
IN not more than five years and payable
in not more than fifteen years The
object is to give greater latitude; for
instance as suggested by counsel for
the Territory in New York, it may be
found desirable to make the bonds pay
able in yearly installments, not only in
order to insure their early and gradual
payment but also and partly on this
account, to obtain better price for
the bonds.
81 Incidentally, the amendment
also does away with the uncertainty,
which has been mooted, that the pres
ent provision for refunding applies only
to bonds outstanding at the date of the
Organic Act. The Territory desires
soon to refund 100000 of Az per
cent bonds at lower rate of interest.
These bonds were issued after the pas
sage of the Organic Act, and counsel
have suggested a doubt as to whether
that can be done, owing to the use of
the word ''existing' qualifying the
word Indebtedness in the refunding
clause. The amendment omits the word
"existing.o
Land Law Changes.
Section 5, amending section z3.-This
is the most important section in the
proposed act. The operation of the
land laws has given rise to much dis
satisfaction for some years past. Much
of this has been due to uncomfortable
natural conditions, and yet considerable
has been due to conditions which NAV
be remedied either through legislation
or through administration. An attempt
is being made to effect remedies as far
as possible through administration, but
it has been found that legislation also
is necessary, in order to accomplish the
desired result. After giving the matter
much personal study and coming to con-
clusions which have met with general
support in the Territory, 1 appointed an
advisory land law commission of
seven members to go into the entire
subject from disinterested standpoint.
This commission gave public hearings
on all the larger islands and addressed
inquiries to hundreds of people who
| might wish to express their views upon
the subject. The proposed amendment
is enacted to carry out for the most
part the recommendations of the com
mission. Other recommendations can
be carried out by the Territorial Legis-
lature. The proposed amendment con-
tains also other provisions, which the
commission did not consider, as they
are mainly matters of administration
not affecting the general land policy.
The land laws of Hawaii were taken
largely from New Zealand The joint
| resolution of annexation provided that
| the general land laws of the United
States should not apply to Hawaii, and
| they certainly are inapplicable to con-
ditions there, and the Organic Act con-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-01-11

What the changes proposed in the
Organic Act are for which Governor
Frear and Delegate Kalanianaole work
ed at Washington last month are stated
briefly in the following synopsis pre-
pared by Governor Frear for the Com
mittee on Pacific Islands and Porto
|. Rico, before which he appeared in sup
port of the amendments. In addition
Governor discussed the various amend
ments at length before the committee,
stating among other things the follow
ing:
'sWhen the Organic Act was enacted,
it was thought that the settlement or
management of the public lands there
was more than matter of mere local
interest. 1t was matter of national
interest, with a view to building up
those islands with small proprietors who
are American citizens or will become
American citizens, and it was thought
unwise to permit the local Legislature
to legislate on this subject because of
the dangers. 1t might be that they
would open the way for aliens to ac-
quire the lands; it might be that they
would open the way for corporations to
acquire them, and it was thought safer
to retain the power in Congress, and I
am inclined to think it would be safer
still to keep it there.
'This matter has been given great
deal of study, not only by myself but
by others in Hawaii, including com
mission appointed by me to look into
the whole question, and it has been
gone over also by persons familiar with
the land laws in the United States. -
The Governors Synopsis.
This is bill to amend eleven sec
tions and repeal one section of the Or
ganic Act of the Territory. It's most
important and most pressing feature is
the amendment of the land laws; but
practically all the important amend
mentS which the experience of eight
years has shown to be desirable have
abeen Incorporated, with view to OBJ
3viating as far as possible the necessity
of further amendments for at least a
long time to come. The sections of the
act will be considered in their order:
