SMALL FARMING GETS DEFINITE ENCOURAGEMENT

The plans announced in the Star Bulletin to-
experiment station for the development Of small
farming in Hawaii are of the highest Importance
to the future of this territory.
Dr. Wicox's intention TO establish several
new experiment stations and to promote the
growing and marketing of vegetables and fruits
ought to be given the hearty cooperation Of the
people of this territory. The marketing division,
which was swept away by edict of the legislature
just closed, has been an important factor in the
starting of several produce Industries, and the
function as commission business, ought TO be
retained and developed. The territory can well
afford to encourage farmers by carrying on for
them a commission business at a small cost and
thus providing for them cheapand sure market
for what they grow.
The Star-Bulletin regrets that the territory is
to lose the services of Superintendent of Market
ing Starrett, whose position is abolished by the
recent legislative act, for Superintendent Star
rett, in spite of the vicious attacks made upon
him, has done great deal of good, and this not
outstanding the rather slight support given him
by the very board under whose auspices his work
was carried on. However, Mr.. Starrett has
started many farmers in the direction of small
produce industries and under DIR. Wilcox's able
direction and the ample funds furnished by the
legislature, the work should prosper as never be-
fore

When the Oceanic liner Ventura

and Miss Pearl Dobson. who was a
member OF the Atkinson Wild West
stow which was stranded in the An
tipodes, the one watching over his
key, and the other a passenger in
the cabin, held the center OF the
stage on which was settled another
transpacific romance.
On the last voyage of the Ventura
to the Colonies, Miss Dobson was a
passenger along with the other mem
bers of the Wild West Company Of
which she was a member. While en-
route, Williams. patiently tapping his
key, established a new record for
sending radio message 2700 miles
across the equator. The feat caused
considerable talk on board the ship,
and the interest which Miss Dobson
took in the wireless equipment was
the cause of a love match springing
up. During the rest of the trip the
two were constantly together. At
Sydney, Miss Dobson continued on a
tour with the company while Will
liams returned home with the prom

The San Francisco Call is added To the list
fighting against free sugar. Edito
ally the Call says:
Contamination of the Democratic free sugar
scheme will work tremendous injury to California
CALIFORNIA; danger may be appreciated from a
consideration of what the Democratic tariff program
means to the beet sugar industry alone.
California produces approximately fourth of the
beet sugar produced in the United States The
American beet sugar production is slightly greater
tian the sugar production 1t represents about
sixth Of the sugar consumed in the United States.
The sugar beet acreage of this state is in
of 100000 acres The development of the beet sugar
industry in California has resulted in the erection of
ten large refneries. 1t has increased the average
price of the lands affected from $25 and $50
to from SO to $3.50 an acre
The industry in its present state of development
is distributing approximately $6.OO0O0O year the
farmers in the beet sugar districts
1t has made the average crop value about
SEQ year This average is, of course, struck from
the gross In several of the districts the manufac-
turers are paying the farmers average net ground
rent of about $40 an acre.
The Democratic program for immediate reduc-
ton of % per cent and free sugar after three years
involves an immediate loss of about $11O0O00 year
to the California beet sugar industry
1t means an ultimate loss, without reference to
any development loss, of approximately $450O,000
year to the industry in this state.
If the industry could survive this loss, and the
sugar experts agreed that it could not the major
loss inevitably would fall upon the producer.
Considered in average terms, the immediate cut
proposed by the Democratic administration means a
reduction of more than $3.50 year in the California
acre crop value.
1t means, at the end of the third year, reduction
of nearly $27 in the California average annual acre
crop value.
1t means corresponding loss to labor and to cap
ita 1t may not mean the destruction of the beet
sugar industry in California. 1t will mean an arrest
OF the development of that industry. 1t will mean
serious loss loss that will be felt in the long run by
every wage-earner, every producer.
California wants free sugar.

"FREE SUGAR"

The New York Herald takes this view of the
sugar tariff situation:
ssThere is no other feature of the tariff stua-
tion about which so much ignorance has been dis
played in congress and out of it as the sugar
schedule. Nor has any other given rise to so
much yillful misrepresentation.
ssThe demand for free sugar, so loudly voiced
BY politicians in their yote-seeking crusades, has
been paraded as in the interest of the consumer,
who is depicted as being robbed by wicked rein
>ers.
SIN an Illuminating review of the sugar situa-
ton, published by the Herald today, Mr.. Albert
G. Robinson who has made thorough study of
his subject, shows just what free sugar would
mean.
'To put sugar on the free list would, he shows,
be of no benefit at all to the consumer The re-
finer would gain rather than lose by it.
eBut free sugar would crush outof existence
the beet sugar industry of the middle and far
western states; it would absolutely destroy the
cane industry of Louisiana; it would ruin the
sugarproducers of Hawaii Porto Rico, the Phil
ippines and Cuba. And with their ruin would

Free sugar would mean So, 100000 an
nual deficit in the customs revenues, with APP
parently no compensatory advantages to any
body save the foreign producers

RIGHT TO SEAT QUESTIONED
Claim That Senator Browne IS In
eligible as Legislator Since His
Election as Congressman.

Madison.-The question has been
raised as to the right OF Senator e.
e. Browne of Waupaea to a seat in

Browne was elected as congressman
from the new Eighth district last
November and some of the members
are claiming that the moment he was
elected to congress there was auto
matically vacancy in his senatorial
district and quote the constitution in
support of their contention.
Friends Of Senator Browne say
that he has not yet accepted the Of
flee of congressman. Furthermore.
they cite the case of Senator La Fol
lette, who held the office of governor
for nearly year after he was elected
United States senator
So far as known there is no inten-
ton to make any fight on Senator
Browne, but under the situation as
it is, the senator's hold on his seat
might at any time become precari-
GUS One reason why the senator
wishes to sit until he has to go to
Washington for tho special session
of congress is his deep interest in the
good roads bill.

Bancroft, in answer to seven inqui-

liquor licenses cannot be legally
transferred from one location to an
other in Wisconsin. Neither can a
license be transferred to another
place, if such other place was not
used for such traffic on June 80,
1907, there being locations available
which were SO used at that time. The
licensing board has no right to issue
a license to new place so long as
any of the old places are available.
1t is the duty Of the licensing board
to ascertain, before licensing a new
place, whether any location previous
ly licensed is available.
