try in the world. Mr.. Daniels -,
confided to friends that he is ready "a
do anything that Mr.. Bryan may vent
him to do, and between the two there
exists fond relationship and genuine
love Of man for man.
1t is, therefore. in part the ideas {
sthe great commoner" which Nr
Daniels is endeavoring to inject Mo
the navy. While denying that thera
was even a veStige OF truth in TIA
story that he Vas to require officers
and bluejackets TO eat together. Mr.
Daniels has said that he wished ba
might bring about a greater minglins
between officers and men In the navy
The uplift of the enlisted man. and thA
bringing of the officer down to a dem
ocratic level is what Mr.. Daniels would
undoubtedly like most to accomplish
in the navy.
Neither must it be overlooked tar
Josephus Daniels is not only a news.
paper publisher but also a shrewd pol.
itician. He directed the publicity
campaign of the Democrats last year
and it is no reflection upon him OF his
Qualifications as Secretary of the Navy
to say that he is applying generously
the principles of newspaper publicity
in his administration.
Than Josephus Daniels there is rs
man more sincere, honest. earnest or
democratic. He is democratic in both
his tastes and his manners, and there
is no man so humble that he is not
willing to receive him on equal terms
with the highest that come into his
Office daily. He is a most lovable man
and one who loves those in whom hs
places his trust and confidence. Yer
Mr.. Daniels is not a weak man. and
any one who so regards him is making
a grave mistake. He is positive in his
convictions, and, his mind once made
up, he is prepared to stick to his de
termination and fight for his ends He
Is not to be frightened or bullied into
doing anything contrary to the dictates
of his own conscience and belief.
While many ava officers and 9th
ers interested in the navy are alarmed
at the tendencies Mr.. Daniels has
shown. there never was a Secretary or
the Navy who had a more intense
purpose of developing the navy as =
navy, a feet of fighting ships, than
has Mr.. Daniels. He is % "a small
navy man." On this great and vital
essential Mr.. Daniels is in entire har-
mony with the service he heads. -
much SO that there are predictions in

SU GAR ARE
STRIKING

Ex-Governor Carter. chairman OF
tie Sugar Protection Committee, has
summarized some of the principal ar
guments being used in the commit
tees campaign as follows, under the
title: .-...>. ...-.
Suggestive Ideas to be Put in Your
Own Words"
1st-Hawaii has no other crop that
can be substituted for sugar.
2nd-Protection is essential under
present conditions for the profitable
raising of sugar in these islands.
3rd-Contrary to the impression on
the mainland, our sugar industry has
never prospered under free trade con-
Gitions, for it was built up under the
reciprocity treaty. -.
4th-It costs US at least SIS per ton
al sugar for fertilizer. water and trans
rortation in American bottoms. all of
which are items not found in the cost
OF the production Of our competitors.
5th-Our efficiency in the produc-
ton of sugar does not come from sur
plus profits. but is forced upon US by
sheer necessity.
6th-The whole framework OF our
Industrial activity is built out OF SUI
gar upon a pedestal OF. protection.
More than 80 per cent of our trade
is dependent upon sugar.
7th-This is not question of maxi
ing a few men richer or poorer, but
one that affects 5000 stockholders.
scattered among all classes OF. our
people, often an investment that rep
losents their savings for many years.
Sth-Our territorial government
with it's many functions, including the
splendid school system. is dependent
upon the sugar corporations to the ex-
tent of so per cent of the tax returns
on property, real and personal Re-
duce the productions of sugar and we
must curtail cur governmental ex,
penses in proportion.
9th-The total, share capitalization
of all our sugar companies varies only
nv few thousand dollars from the
value of property on which they are
taxed Thus, earnings are not based
on inflated values.
+ 10th-Upon annexation our sugar In
Gustry had to meet serious handicaps
higher price and better class Of labor,
and transportation in American bot
toms-and it hardly seems fair for
congress now to remove that which
made it possible to accept these condi-
tons
18th = The American Hawaiian
Steamship Company was created in
order to carry our sugar. II now
operates fleet of 20 vessels, with APP
proximately 209,00 tonnage. 1t Is es-
timated that, during 1912, Hawaiian
sugar contributed $3,500,000 to Ameri-
can shipping interests.
12th-Under annexation, we surren-
dered our customs revenue to the fed
eral government This, during 1899,
amounted to 81 ,295,62S.95 This loss
Ill local revenue had to be made up
by increased taxation. and this has
only been possible because of our SUI
gar industry. The application of the
higher American duties has not les
sened this revenue Last year 0S12l
it was $1.654,76134 None Of our
competitors are so taxed.

A second edition of the Kaiwiki
homestead case, in which. the supreme
court decided that the homesteaders
were not homesteaders in the eyes of

plantation. has come to light through

claims that he bought the interest in
the crop of homestead belonging to

that the land belonged to Silviera as
homesteader and not to the planta-

the system spread throughout Europe
until now these peoples banks-a5
they are called--are collectively rich
er and more powerful than any
American trust, or than the Wall
street Money Trust" itself. Accord
ing 10 ? recent report Of our consul
general in Berlin, at the close of 1911
there were, in Germany alone, 1922
cooperative societies of the "Raffeis-
sen" type-the~ kind proposed in the
Hawaiian law-with funds aggregat-
ing $3.50, 900, 600; and the combined
cooperative societies of Germany had
during the year in question done a
business amounting to $6,1SS 600, 900.
These are accurate statistics taken
under government supervision.
Other Countries Take Note
Since Germany is country having
homogeneous rural population of
high thrift and intelligence, it might
appear that the success of co-opera-
tive credit in that country. was con-
ditioned by this fact. But the same
system has spread from Germany to
Russia, Austria, Italy and other parts
of Europe and has everywhere met
with equally marked success. In Italy
the RaffeisSen societies are organized
in two groups, one purely secular
and the other fostered and control
led by the parish priests-but both
meeting the need of rural credit and
doing wonders to lift from the Italian
peasantry the burden of debt and
n0Vartv which tho ilI-pOyprnmoOt of
earlier days had left them. In India
the British government first promoted
these societies to relieve the distress
of the native cultivators, and still re-
tains supervision over them-but they
have taken such strong root that the
system might almost seem native to
the country. .* .+. II.
The method of organizing and oper-
ating these societies is very simple.
A number of neighbors get together
and choose managing committee.
They subscribe to articles of ascot
alton pledging their whole credit to
the society. A small fund is accumu-
lated by moderate membership fees,
but the main source of money is the
deposits of members on interest, and
such sums as may be obtained from
outside sources-often from local
banks and sometimes in the form of
a deposit by a friendly outsider. The
large estate owners in Europe often
times thus assist the societies of
their neighborhood AS money is OBJ

Provisions for Agricultural
Credit and Cooperative
Work Have Succeeded
Elsewhere

Hawaii's new and energetic plans
TO assist homesteaders are signaliZ@d
! by the appearance of a striking meas
ure in the house, Bill 1876, row before
! the finance committee. Ii is an act
which draws upon the experience OF
many countries in its provisions for
agricultural credit and cooperative
buying and selling for small farmers,
The bill was introduced in the leg
islature by the house committee on
public lands, and relates to ceopera-
tive societies, contains more promise
for the small-farming industries OF
Hawaii than its unsensational title in
dicates. The proposed act is based on
legislation for many years in force in
Europe and recently successfully in
troduced in British India The law
ienabIes small farmers TO pool their
credit and to buy and sell their prod
uce so much more economically than
when acting alone that the business OF
rural credit societies has grown be-
yond the fondest hopes of their pro-
motors and reached proportions as
founding to people who have not kept
in close touch with their development.
System Started In Germany
This system of credit started in
Germany after the crop failures that
caused the agricultural crisis of 1S47,
when the peasantry we're left without
money or credit to buy. seed for the
next year or winter fodder for their
cattle. A village mayor in one of the
remotest and poorest of the afflicted
districts devised the plan of grouping
the needy peasants into societies, in
which the members pledged their en-
tire individual credit for common
fund from which advances were made
to members for exclusively reproduce
i've purposes,-th is, to buy stock,
seed, implements and other things that
would themselves earn money to re-
pay the loan. ALE
Impractical as it might seem for
number of almost penniless people to
capitalize themselves by uniting their
poverty, the scheme actually worked
in practice. The collective credit of
a community of small farmers proved
workable asset despite the desper-
ate circumstances of the individual
members. OF course the beginning
was slow, but from the early expert
mental, weak an dstruggling societies
