HAWAIIAN ACTION ON THE LEVER BILL

That the Merchants Association is alive to
the benefits Hawaii would receive from the APP
plication of the Lever bills provisions here is
shown by the action of the directors yesterday
in deciding to cable to Washington asking that
this territory be included in the hill @~-~-..,
A few days ago the Star Bulletin made pub
Lie the fact that the Lever plan, which furnishes
expert aid and advice to the farmers of the coun-
try, was almost perfected by congressional ac-
ton, that the bill has passed the house and is
now before the senate committee on agriculture
and forestry. This paper also gave publicity to
the fact that in some mysterious way the word
1territory'' was eliminated from the bill before
it passed the house. Information is that an in
nuence as yet unrevealed was quietly at work in
Washington to prevent the provisions of the bill
applying to Hawaii. Just what that influence
was constitutes secret that will yet be ferreted
out Under the Lever plan, an appropriation of
some ten thousand dollars annually would be
used for sending agricultural experts to Hawaii
to go out among the farmers and teach them the
most advanced and scientific methods of soil cul
tivation.
Whatever the influence that worked against
a measure SO beneficial to the development of
small farming in Hawaii, the territorys public
interests are at stake. The Merchants Assoca-
ton directors hope to get the senate committed
on agriculture and forestry to amend the Lever
bill, which is house measure, that the word
'tterritory". shall be reinserted. The BILL If it
passes the senate, will then 60 to conference and
there is a chance that Hawaii will get the ben
efits made possible under it's broad provisions.
The Merchants Association has gone to the
front in fight for Hawaii's good, and all the
effort that commercial bodies and other organi-
cations in Hawaii can muster should be concen-
trated on making good the blunder or the slis-
ter, underhand piece of work done when Hawaii,
was dropped from the bill before it passed the

in this city is going on rapidly. An
