urging on whoever may be in charge
of the administration of public lands
here to the study of Fairchildis pro

discretion away from the Governor

and so on. There are almoAt as many
opinions as there are men. Now the
only solution which | have heard ex.
pressed-in my experience, which
meets the extremes Is that, in my op.
infon. of Senator Fairchild in the last
legislature He presented it to Con
gress this year. 1t is possible that
, complications have arisen and he was
unable to present it. Senator Fair
child came to the conclusion that you
have got to face one fact and that was
the vast and fundamental difference
between cultivating land from which
stones had been removed, land clear
ed, from lands which we're virgin soil,
He recommended the separating of
those two classes of lands and when
new citizens should be located on the
virgin to encourage them in every
way. That it would be natural for
any human being to want the most
valuable land-that as long as land
was available for settlement the indi-
vidual would get the best-would get
the lands of highest value.-And he
recommended that in order to develop
the country faster, those two classes
of lands should be separated and the
cultivated land rented and a better
revenue could be obtained from it, and
it be conserved for posterity that the
revenue and unearned income be saw
ed for at present the demand for land
is certainly extremely artificial. AS
time goes on that demand will be-

states are increasing rapidly in popu-
lation, the Panama Canal will increase
that ratio, and the. day will come
when there will be an overflow from

SEVENTEEN BOAT RACESCARDED

The Regatta Day program has been
finally arranged, tile committee oil
the Hawaiian Rowing Association
that has had the matter in charge
meeting yesterday afternoon, and
definitely carding IL races for Sep.
tember 81.
The new feature of this years pro
gram is races for Japanese power
sampans, three of these being down
for settlement. The course will be
from the judges boat around the bell
buoy and return, about 3 miles, and
as cash prizes are offered it is ex.
peoted that the races will all be well

As in former years, the senior
barge race, the big event of the card,

seems like an anti-climax, especially
as there will be q Coast crew in COM
petition, which will be stellar at
traction, but there is good reason
for the placing, as the course is much
smoother early In the morning than
later In the day, and conditions gen.
orally better. The idea is to give

tropics. / do not believe it. A man
can work In the tropics perhaps not
as continuously as the man with the
yellow skin, but he. can work. With
reference to the American farmers
coming here and getting discouraged,
| think you will find that the causes
of their disbursement lie great
deal deeper than their not being able
to work on the land themselves; but
that they lie largely in the matters
OF transportation or the abuses prac-
tised upon them by the neighboring
mill owners, who have either refused
to take their crops at fair price,
or have secured an advantage over
them and prevented their full partici-
patton in the enterprise. The lack of
roads and the extortionate prices
charged for getting their products to
the markets have discouraged many
homesteader here: that Is, where
their products are other than sugar
cane.
Fisher: Assuming that all these
things are true-that is to say, that
all the experiments have failed be
cause of these cpnditions-what
would like TO do would be to get your
own frank opinion as to whether the
American farmer will work in the
tropics. II he comes here and takes
up a 50-acre Homestead, will he con-
tinue to work on the land, or will he
turn it over to others to work and
cease to become an active farmer?
Ashford: Well, upon that point, of
course, 1t would only be an opinion,
and those opinions must necessarily
vary as they are applied to this or
that man. But, taking the American
farmer generally, my opinion would
be that he would work. "
Ex-Gov. George R. Carter, at the
hearing before Secretary Fisher yes
terday gave very interesting testi-
mony, the latter part of which could
not be published yesterday and is re-
produced below. He had been talking
of Gov. Frear's administration and its
ALLEGED. Jack of support in Washington.
1t depends on the point of view
the standard Of the person who is
speaking and which standard is to be
accepted.-And another man believes
that it ought to go free and that a
man ought to get something for his
money-another man believes that 1t
ought to be restricted only to citizens

i Last night the Healani seniors were
I shifted considerably by Coach jim
! Lloyd. Dick Sullivan went from 2 to
, 4, Fred Wichman from to stroke
and Knoll stroke to 2. What this
change will effect remains to be seen
The Healani seniors now sit as fol
lows: Wichman, stroke; Hesse, 5;
Sullivan, 4; Ed Heidemann, 8; Knoll
~; w. Grace, bow.
! Over at the Myrtle boat house both
the senior and freshman crews have
taken up training quarters, and are
getting in some early morning spins
on the harbor. The men are working
J for all that's in them, and while
there doesn't seem to be as much
form as in the Healani boat, the men
dig harder, with a strong catch and
leg thrust. They impress the on
locker as having more "stuff" behind
i their oars. The senior Myrtles turn
ed out in the following order last
, night: Lyle, stroke; Bob Chilling
! worth, 3; F. Bechert, 4; w. McDou-
gal, g.; J. O'Brien, q; Sam Johnson,
bow. Johnson is a veteran, but he
hasn't pulled In boat for five years.
He seems to be making good, how
ever, and his fine physical condition
should see him through hard race.
The Puunenes are expected tomor-
row on the Claudine, and will train
at the Myrtle quarters The Maui
crew is said to be much improved
this season, but its chances OF TAX
ing the senior event are not regarded
very seriously by local .oarsmen.
HAIamedas the Attraction.
The Alameda crew starts tomorrow
from San Francisco, and Is due here
on the 18th. The chief interest OF
this years regatta centers on the
meeting between the Coast and Ha-
waiian crews, and every move Of the
Alamedans will be closely watched.
Probably they will be under wraps in
their trial spins, and it will not be
until the race that their real class
comes out.
An effort is being made by the
Hawaiian Rowing Association to
raise a special subscription for per-.
manent challenge cup for the senior
race, for the $25 trophy allotted on
the program Is hardly adequate for
so important an intersection event.
For the honor of the Islands, some
thing worth while In the way of a
trophy should be hung up
The Myrtles will be ready to slip
their new pair oar into the water be-
fore long. The boat il now at Walk
