gentleman from the country going to
the city to visit his son. The son
was taking great deal of pains to
show his father the many conven en-

MAUI SCHOOLS

Lahaina, Maui, Apr. % 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulietir, *~% 9.
Sir:-In a recent edition OF a Homo
lulu paper noticed an editorial in ref
erence to Maui county schools and
their records. :."..... -. :. :. :
Without doubt the article was aimed
at particular educators more than
teachers and education in general on
Maui 1t, nevertheless, appears as a
rather unappreciative advertisement OF
the faithful and conscientious work
on the part Of Maui teachers who, |
believe, are as faithful in Maui county
as any other in Hawaii 49,. ~. ~
Under a centralized control of
schools, the advertised Better" Edu-
cational System. is as much a reflec-
ton on the control in Honolulu as it
wishes 10 be on local educators; while
many of the statistics given are incor-
rect.
If the article had been relegated to
the waste basket for more construct
i've criticism of school work and a trib-
ute to the efforts of the teachers, I'M
derpaid and oyerWoFked, il would have
been more appropriate.

tions which may contribute to make

NATIONAL MARKETS BUREAU PROPOSED

At once one of the most important and one of
the most rapidly growing nationwide movements
of the time would seem to be that which seeks
to remove the misunderstanding conjunction
of the high cost of living and the low profit of
farming. On the mainland the strength Of the
movement is seen in the projected departure of
commission, consisting of two representatives
from each state, this month for Europe to inves-
tigate the cooperative systems in existence there
for improvement of agricultural conditions.
Here in Hawaii start has been made in the
same direction by the establishment of a market
ing scheme under government auspices against
an attempt in the legislature to abolish which
the Star-Bulletin has just entered protest
The sending of the mainland commission to Eu-
rope was brought about by the Southern Com
mercial Congress last year, as our readers have
been informed and now another conference with
similar aims was called to meet in Chicago two
weeks ago. The call is addressed to the people
of the United States and is signed by Frank p
Holland, Dallas, Texas; Ben +. Bitter Hunt
ington, Ind; Frank Z. Long, Chicago, ILL.,, and
Chas. w Holman, secretary, Chicago. Follow
ing is the text of the call, and particular atten
ton should be given, by our territorial reaction
aries seeking to put an end to the little progress
Hawaii has attained in the race, to the proposal
to create bureau of markets in the United
States department of agriculture which, by the
way, would not be the first INSTANCE of the ma
ton being second to little Hawaii in adopting a
progressive idea:

ing of farm products:

less does yield profitable returns on labor and
investment
This constitutes the giant paradox of time
and is so because Of certain remediable defects in
tie economic structure OF the nation. We believe
these defects from crude organization of the
farmers way of doing business. The losses occur
ring yearly amount millions and affect producers
transportation lines and many business interests.
This waste not only makes for exorbitant retail
prices of foodstuffs but also makes impossible
healthy growth Of the farming industry.
A generation ago the neighboring village the
county seat offered fair markets to the individual
farmer; but such a method of distribution today is
Ia disharmony with the business world. Yet, in but
few sections have farmers made the necessary adj
justment to modern conditions. Through fault
OF their own, this situation reacts harmfully upon
all.
Compared with European countries, the business
organization of American agriculture must appear
crude. We remember however, that our nation is
still young, and just emerging from an era when
farmers might exploit the land without regard to
soil conservation. Even now large part of the
ton has not reached the settling down stage"
constructive program, therefore, is necessary since
both marketing methods and provision for
the financing of farmers have been outstrpped by
other countries and by the evolution of other indus
tries within the confines of the nation-a pathoogic
condition of supreme Importance
Our Investigations have led us to believe that
conditions such have described Id i'm
proved with the least delay by cooperation with
farm producers from others interested in*the grow
ing and distribution of farm products, and by the
creation of bureau of markets in the United States
department of agriculture.
We believe that any attempt TO reconcile the high
of living with the earning powers of the people
must be founded upon normal condition of the
agricultural classes But the present offers
little hope either to producers consumers unless
the people take quick action.
Therefore, acting upon the authority delegated
us, call conference: of all people interested to
meet in Chicago April s, and 10, 1913, to counsel
together and devise acceptable plan of action.
This conference will be open to a full, free and
frank discussion of such subjects as how to organ
ize the producing interests for better methods of
distributing and marketing farm products and how
farmers may unite to secure credit and other mat
tiers of direct relation to the producing and disrib
uting interests of the nation.
Those attending this conference will have the
benefit of the best thought that be brought to
bear upon the related problems Leading
mists, railroad men, highly skilled sellers of farm
products, and leaders of rural life movements will
devote themselves to discussion of present handi-
caps and plans for constructive action
After this discussion the delegates to the confer
will take such action they may deem fit
leading to the correction of these evils.

CALIFORNIA NOT ALONE IN ITS ACTION

CALIFORNIA; aggressive action on alien land
ownership legislation has stirred several other
states TO exa1nif4e their statutes with the result
ing discovery that the bill. proposed in Califor-
MIA is not Unprecedented by any means
Arizona, for instance, has found on IFS statute
books an anti-alien land ownership law which
has been in existence for more than year
Wealthy residents with homes Oh the American
side of the border, but who have never declared
their intention of becoming naturaized, are now
waking up to protest MeXicans, of course, are
eligible to citizenship but Arizona has consid
cradle Japanese and Chinese population and as
action is now proposed TO enforce The existing
law, that state is likely To face the same situa-
ton that California faces.
Governor johnson is making strong point Of
the anti-alien land ownership laws which have
been passed in other states In a recent defense
of his attitude, he pointed out the following:
ARIZONA, in 1912, passed its act that no
person other than a citizen of the United States
or who has declared his intention to become
such shall hereafter acquire any land, etc, and
this statute, though passed in 1912, did not evoke
storm of protest from wellmeaning philan-
thropists in our own land, or threaten a rupture
in diplomatic relations with any foreign nation.
21The state of Washington prevents the ac-
quisition or holding of lands by those who are
ssincapable of becoming citizens of the United
States, and neither the right nor the proprietyI
Of this enactment by the state of Washington
was denied.
3-Illinos has enacted that an alien may hold
title for the period of six years. and then, if he
shall not have become citizen of the United
States, proceedings shall be commenced for the
sale of the land, and the proceeds shall go to the
state.
Minnesota provides that no person unless
he be citizen of the United States or has de-
clared his intention to become a citizen shall
scquire land.
l5-Missouri has similar enactment. Ken
lucky Oklahoma, Texas all have laws of like
character
6-Japan until 1910 had an absolute law
against alien ownership, and in effect has it yet.
