LAND SHOULD Be OFFERED FOR
HOMESTEADS, SAYS W. 0. SMITH

lands and promoting the general pros
perity of the country, but said a sys-
tenn of land-holding in few hands with
the masses of the people in a serving
position was not best for the perman-
ent development of these islands along
traditional American lines.
New Land Law Not Tried.
1t was less than a year since the
amended land laws came into effect in
compliance with the request of the
Legislature of Hawaii. What would
Congress think of them if they told it
that they had changed their minds
and now wanted something different?
While it was true that Congress add
ed some provisions to the legislative
scheme which were obnoxious-such
as that compelling the opening of any
developed lands at the request of
twenty-five citizens-that was not
sufficient ground for asking Congress
to revolutionize the system for the
benefit of wealthy corporations.
Mr.. Smith spoke eloquently of the
desirability of making Hawaii land
of homes, and urged that the home
stead policy should not be abandoned
without fair trial. He stated that
the real purpose of the pending meas
ure was not the support of education,
but altogether a scheme for the bene-
fit of the planting interests.
Joseph P. Cooke, as the meeting
was about to dispense on account of
the hour of opening the Legislature
having arrived, said that before Con-
gress was asked to make another
change in the law the wishes of the
people of the Territory ought to be
consulted
w. r. Harrington said that every
state and territory in the Union, ex-
cept Hawaii, had public lands espec-
tally set apart for the support of edu-
cation.

TAR WITHOUT FEATHERS COATING
EVERYBODY ON BETHEL STREET

Bethel street is in sort of a spec
kled molasses mourning. The store
fronts, sidewalks (what sidewalks
there are), plate windows, business
signs, awnings and door stills are
sticky with sprayed tar shot by steam
from out patent new sprinkler"
which is being towed up and down
the little thoroughfare for the pur-
pose of gluing down the macadam
with which the new road is top
dressed.
1t is a great invention as far as
effectively forcing the tar in between
the macadam molecules, but it has
caused more blasphemy and unkind
feelings along Bethel street than the
untidiest hackstand or the ugliest
billboards ever could provoke.
In H. H. Ficke's barber shop the
flying sprayed tar lodged on the
mirrors like a million flyspecks, and

Hon. w. o. Smith delivered a strong
blast against the Fairchild improved
land scheme yesterday, before a con-
ference of Senate and House public
lands committeeman at the Attorney
Generals office. Senator Fairchild
presided.
Mr.. Smith said there was less than
10000 acres of improved land now in
the hands of the Government. There
were about 10000 acres of undevelop-
ed agricultural land, such as areas he
observed lately above the cultivated
cane belt of Hamakua. Probably there
were various products that in time
could be proftably raised upon these
undeveloped lands.
In the meantime the proposition to
prevent the developed lands from be-
ing homesteaded was utterly wrong
and inequitable. True, there had been
some difficulties met in carry out the
homestead policy under the Organic
Act amendments as before, but that
was no reason why the policy should
be abandoned with respect, to all the
developed lands. Mr.. Smith spoke
of the increased value of these lands
as shown by the difference in rental
between the old and the new leases in
on instance $4,000 being paid where
40 was paid under the original lease.
There was therefore no fear of great
slump in revenue pending the home
stealing of such lands.
Market Facilities Lacking.
There were different obstacles to
the success of the homestead policy
under the recent amendments to the
land laws. One of these was the alb
sence of adequate market facilities.
Yet that was no justification for aban-
donment of the whole policy as regard
ed developed lands. Mr.. Sniith refer
red to the great things done by the
sugar planters, in developing the

further movements of troops will be
made during the next six months.
This information was contained in a
telegram received at headquarters of
the Department of California yester-
day afternoon from the War Depart
ment in Washington.
Just how far reaching this order is
can not be determined at this time,
but it is generally understood among
army officers to mean that all the
troops which are at present doing
duty along the Mexican border will re-
main there for the next six months
at least.
Although no special mention was
made in the message of the troops
serving along the border, special men,
ton was made of the movements of
troops to and from the island posses
sions.
The message stated that the two
battalions of the Second Infantry sta
toned at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyom-
ing, which were to have sailed from
this port for Honolulu next month,
will be kept at their present station.
Also the Thirteenth Infantry from
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, but at the
present time a part of General Car
ter's provisional brigade at San An
tonic, will not be sent to the Philip
pines on the May transport as origi-
nally scheduled.
The Thirteenth was to have reliev'
ed the Seventh Infantry in the Philip
pines, the Seventh having been or
dered to Fort Leavenworth. The Sew.
enth will remain in the Philippines.
The two battalions of the Second
Infantry, at present at Fort D. A. Rus
sell, were left behind on orders from
the War Department when the other
battalion of that regiment was rushed
to Honolulu on the transport Crook
about a month ago.
