In answer to questions by Attorney
Ashford, he said the small sugar cane
planters on the windWard side.-of Ha-
wall did not find their crops profit
able, and told of several instances,
giving names, in which the planters
were driven from the industry by the
Iinequitable rates made them by the
sugar mills. e. !
His father saved himself by getting
stockholders interest in the Hama
kua Mill Co. Returning to the home
stealing question, he said that the
auction system of disposing Of home
stead lands is. absolutely unfair, the
plantation managers and rich men
bidding the lots out of reach of the
poor man. He recited several in
stances, and said the cash freehold
system is poor. He preferred the go
year lease, but thought the right-of-
purchase lease is better than the cash
freehold system.
Under questioning by Attorney Oh
son.. he admitted that il the cash
freehold system were eliminated it
would remove one obstacle to proper
demonstrating He declared that If
the land is to be kept from the cor
porations, the 99-year lease is the
only method to be adopted. He told
of the cane-planting experience iof
Motley & Son, or his father and him
self, and said that because of long
contract with the mill. he and his
father could use only $50 acres.
though they had several hundred
acres of land lying idle. The mil
would take no more cane from them
than what they raised on $50 acres.
The Secretary then asked him
about the rate he thought the mills
should be entitled to. He said that
while he had never sat down and
| figured it out definitely, he estimated
that 1t should have only one-fourth
of the crop as its fee for grinding,
manufacturing the sugar and market
ing It.
Freight Rates Up.
Asked regarding steamer freight
rates in the early days, he said that
when he got lumber on Hawaii it had
cost about SOS thousand feet. The
cost Of the lumber In Honolulu was
about $45, and the difference went
to the steamship line. He said the
landing charges there are about 40

ing by white men
He said the white mechanics on
the plantations are gradually being
replaced by other nationalities.
Byron o. Clark was the next wit
ness. WRen he came here in 1897
his first move was to get piece OF
land, which he acquired eventually by
lease from the railroad company. He
worked that until 1902 or 1908, when
he and some others organized cor
Foration which continued the cultiva-
ton of the land. He told of the set;
tiers colony which he joined. He
said the colony idea is a very invalu.
able one-almost Misrepresentation

cause of the benefits in a social way,
schools, cooperative business. etc.
The colony had rough weather at
the beginning and several families re
quired assistance, while they could
not raise more than enough to feed
their livestock the first two years.
He said he is the first man TO try
raising pineapPles on homestead
land With the present marketing
conditions, where the eanneries are
accessible. he thought homesteaders
can raise pineapples successfully.
Under the present system he
thought the canneries are very fair
and that the small growers are able
to make money. Each grower, with
a little extra money, might can his
own fruit, but it is q question whether
he could get his sugar as cheaply and
could market it in competition with
the larger cannery, whose brand is
better known.
DIR. E. v. Wilcox, of the Federal
Experimental Station was called. He
explained his duties here, as inter.
preted by the Secretary of the De.
partment of Agriculture, are confined
TO study of soils, fruits, such as pine.
apples and papaias, and to rubber
and kindred subjects, but that no at.
tention is paid to sugar cane, as there
are not no sufficient funds available
for an exhaustive study of that crop.
He said he thought that two small

said. ''As a matter of fact, there is

He then took up the figures given
in the hearings as the, incomes from
cane lands to the growers. and de-
IcIared that these are out of all pro
