MONDELL PROTESTS AGAINST
SACRIFICE OF ARMY POSTS

les from eleven to twenty-four million
with nothing which to base a con-
lecture as to what amount might &C
tually realized from their sale.
OF the twenty-five posts, more than
half of them are either located in
regions where the land would be
practically valueless for other pur-
poses and the material in the build
ings only slightly in excess of what
it would cost to tear them down, or
else would revert to the donor-in
some instances the state and in others
private parties. Just how the sale Of
the others would compensate for this
loss, the secretary does not explain.
A few examples familiar to the peo-
ple of the west will serve to illumin-
ate the ESTIMATED values" given in
the secretary's letter. Fort Russell
represents a thoroughly modern army
post on which the government has ex-
pended over $5,OOOOOO, The secretary
gives it's maximum value" as $780,
$50, but the minimum value is given
by the quartermaster as 100000, and
says if the post were abandoned he
believes "the land would greatly de-
preciate in value, and there would
practically be no market for same"
The same is true of nearly all the
western posts. OF Fort Missoula the
secretary says: mo estimate could
be obtained as to the value of these
! buildings or water supply as they
are practically valueless. For mill
tary purposes the buildings would be
worth $780, OO"-although the mini
mum value of the post including lands
and buildings is given at $4,000. In
tile two posts above mentioned alone
the plan contemplates the abandon
ment of modern properties costing
the government $5,664 ,9S41S, with the
estimated" hope of securing $1OO,OOt
from their sale!

ITALY FURNISHES AN EXAMPLE.
FOR HAWAII IN WET AGRICULT URE

In light of the more or less AGA
demic protests which from time to
time are raised in Honolulu against
the abuses of wet land agriculture,
and the apparent absolute indiffer-
ence of the mass of the population
to the acknowledged unsanitary con-
ditions created by this practise, the
following synopsis of regulations gov
erning the growing of rice in Italy
is especially interesting by way of
contrast. The data in question is
from an official report by Consul
Frank Deedmeyer, of Leghorn, Italy.
He says:
Rice cultivation in the Province OF
Lucca, Italy, is subject to certain
rules, promulgated by royal decree
and supplemented by provincial regu,
lations, which have for their object
primarily, the safeguarding of the
health of the public and of those en-.
gagged IN this industry.
No rice plantation can be estab,
lished nearer than 124 miles to any
city or town of more than 10000 in
habitants, within 984 feet of one hav
ing less than 10000 Inhabitants, 65t
feet of any burial ground, or 164 feet
of any isolated dwelling. The waters
used to flood rice fields must not be
derived from basins, pools, or ponds;
must not contain impurities; and
must be kept moving constantly
Weeds and roots are to be carried of
the fields daily or covered with earth
to a depth of not less than two feet
No person is allowed to lay out a
new rice plantation without first civ

THE UNITED STATES AND WORLD PEACE
BY CLAYTON W. COUSINS, COLLEGE OF HAWAII.

(This paper was awarded the
$50 prize offered by the peace
committee of the Honolulu cham
her of commerce for the best
essay on international peace.)
In this discussion, aim to show:
fret, that the people of the United
States are greatly affected, though oft
en- ignorant of the causes of their af-
Fiction, by the evils of which war
and armed peace are prolific; and, sec
ondly, that in event of war, the inter
nal resources of the United States are
Tar superior to those of the European
nations. From these, I conclude that
the United States may reasonably take
the initiative in lessening the evils
of war and armed peace by officially
declaring her willingness to submit
nil questions of dispute, both national
and international, to peaceful arbitro-
ton. And at the same time she may
show the sincerity of her declaration
by reducing the appropriations for
the expansion of her already magnif-
icent machine of war.
On the effects Of war itself, I need
dwell only cursorily. The enormity of
the human sacrifice which the demon
demands is too we'll known. The loss
of 1000 lives, in a commercial marine
disaster last month, occasions the
changing of the course pursued by At
lantic greyhounds for years, the pro
mitigation of laws requiring a sufti'
cient number of life boats and two
wireless operators on every passenger
carrying steamship, the continuance OF
new and more practicable life boats
In short, every possible precaution is
being taken to prevent repetition of
the Titanic catastrophe. But let me
remind you of the sons, the fathers
nnt the husbands that lie in the Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington, the of
ferings of a single charge in single
battle of single war, the charge Of
Pickett at Cemetery Ridge on the
third of July, 1868. Is it not also
reasonable that something be done tc
prevent the repetition of this disas
ter?
Though Of far lesser imports, the fl
nancial cost of war and armed peace il
tremendous strain upon the re
sources of the nation. Who has mo-
heard the cry high taxes?" Do PEG
pie realize just what are the prime
causes of high taxes? Some do, but
many do not realize what large fac
tors are the army, the navy and the
pension roll. A brief illustration q
the expenditures demanded by these
leeches may startle even the most ar
dent advocate of armed peace.

GOVERNOR HURT EXPOSITION
Johnson's Attack Caused Subscriptions

---Al Because of Presidential Fight

So johnson came into San Fran.
cisco and with his record in once
behind him OF doing things which ap-
pesled to the people, he swept the
city into the Roosevelt column with
10 great effort-the only districts in
which he was defeated being in the
Western additions among the finer
residence sections. It was a decided
shock to the city as a whole and an
interesting feature to know what
hold Roosevelt through johnson had
on Californians and San Franciscans,
despite the fact that Taft has been a
guest of the city several times since
Roosevelt visited here. and has done
much to show his sincere interest in
Western affairs.

BARS OUT RUSSIAN GEESE
Germany's Blow to Great Trade Seriously Felt on Both Sides
 of Border.

Announcement has been made that he German authorities have suspend d the importation of live eese from iussia on the ground that there is considerable amount of disease preYa- ont in the frontier districts of that ,ountry.
 Coming. as this prohibition does, i'm 9ediately prior to the period when im
 orts of live geese increase rapidly he question is serious alike to breed rs in Russia, who will have large uantites of birds thrown on their .ands; to German goose fatteners, as hey will be unable to fill up their lens, for the home production is total insufficient to meet their require ,ents. and to housewives in Germany, who will find the already high price If what is an important article Of ~ood advance still further and prob .bly be prohibitive. Russians state that there is no justification for this regulation. that it is trade move in the interests of German dealers to force down prices and as measure of fiscal protection to German breed CTS
 Germany imports annually about S00O.000 live geese, of which seven efghts come from Russia, where these birds are bred in vast numbers throughout the western and southwest ern governments. They are bought from the raisers by travelling dealers. who drive them in huge fiocks to the frontier stations, where they are en- trained for despatch to Berlin and otb- CT cities.
 The cars used for this purpose are built in four decks, each car holding about 1,2O0 birds. Special trains are run in the season, consisting of a dozen to thirty-five cars, in accord ance with the supply. As many as 5O,OOO geese have been known to ar rive at Magerviehhof market.
