WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5.-Ha-
waii had the misfortune to be entirely
excluded from all possible benefits
under the leverage agricultural and
vocational education bill. The neces-
sary amendment was omitted in the
Juggling of measures before action by
the senate.
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, offered
an amendment including Hawaii as a
BENEFICIARY under the Lever bill, as
passed by the house, and under con-
slueration in the senate. This. seemed
to be all necessary, as the Lever
measure was incorporated bodily in
the Page bill. which added the gen
eral vocational features.
When the back ot Senator Clark
was turned the Page bill was adopted
by the narrow margin of 81 to 80 as a
substitute for the Lever bill, and Ha-
waii was. not mentioned in it,

Fight 1. ALREADY
STARTED ION
PROMOTION

Legislators arriving today from the
outside islands brought with them the
definite news of a fight that will be
waged against the appropriation OF
territorial funds for the support OF
the Promotion Committee.
This fight has been in the air for
many months but has only recently
taken definite shape. 1t is certain
now that a stiff scrap on the Promo
ton Committee will be put up in the
house and very likely several SEN
ators will also have their pruning
knives out for the appropriation
clause.
"The other islands do not get suf-
ficient benefit from promotion work
to justify the whole territory having
to pay for it," declared one of the
prominent house members today
What islands like Maui and Hawaii
need most of all is internal improve
ments. There has to be lot OF road
Notwithstanding done during the
next few years and every cent is need
ed, We realize the value of promo
ton work but don't think the Islands
other than Oahu get much benett.
