state. Mr. Fairchild answered that
the conditions were very different.
Mr.. Kinney stated that according
to Mr. Fairchilds own statement
there were nearly 100000 Orientals in
Hawaii and hardly a single bona fide
homesteader He stated that this was
the state Of conditions after thirty
years of plantation rule, and that now
it was proposed under this bill to con
tinue the rule for a term of twenty
one years under leases for that
length of time. This he bitterly op-
posed and showed how the only way
in which the land so leased could be
withdrawn for demonstrating was
through act of the legislature Go
ing further, he said that Mr. Fair
child, or any other plantation mana
ger, could make or break any man in
his district, especially home
steader, and he favored a totally diff

were laws enough on the books al

was in the hands of Governor Frear.

one and all agreed to cane contracts
which were satisfactory to the gov
eminent, also to landing and trans
portation rates which would enable a
homesteader to live. He claimed that
many homesteaders have been given
land from which it is impossible to
make a living, and asked in such a
case whether man should be called
fake homesteader, or whether the
government had done the taking.
The committee decided to consider
the bill in executive session, and will
probably do so in time to decide on
their report before the end of the
present month.

in a measure to the poor season as
compared with the work of the teams
of the past few springs. Also it
was what is known as a lean year.
Next year with all the present mem
