the purchase of farms and for perma-
nent improvements and that other
communities need an Improvement in
conditions under which the small
farmer may secure relatively small
sums for operating expenses at low
rates can not be denied The question
is one of ways and means. And just
what is needed and just what should
be done, no one, so far as | have been
able to discover, is at present suffic-
iently informed or wise enough to as
sert. For generation economists
have known the facts about European
conditions, but few have investigated
the conditions at home. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is now definitely
and rapidly making the home survey,
and should in short time have infor-
nation Of great value to the farmer
and to the legislature.
Farmer Does Not Demand Cridit Leg
islation.
One thing that is clear, the schemes
that are multiplying which conceive
the farmer to be mendicant and a
subject for unique and special legis-
lation may be at once condemned. The
American farmer does not need or de-
sire to be classed with those foreign
people who are just emerging from a
condition of surfdom and tutelage. He
asks no opportunity that is not af-
forded to every American citizen; he
asks for no legislation which shall
give him credit on easier terms than
his brother mechanic or his profes-
sional friend or his merchant may Sc
cure it. But he does ask to be as
sisted in creating conditions and
machinery which shall enable him on
a similar credit foundation to secure
his money at the same rates as any
other class in the community. This,
and this alone, it seems to me, is all
that he asks and is nothing less than
he deserves. l am not impressed with
the wisdom and the justice of propos-
ais that would take the money of all
the people through bonds or other de-

vices and lend it to the farmers or to
any other class at rate of interest
lower than the economic conditions
would normally require and at rate
of interest lower than that at which
other classes are securing their CAPT
tai. This would be special legislation
of a particularly odious type, and no
new excursions in this direction would
be palatable when we are engaged in
the gigantic task of restoring the SIM
pie rule Of equity.
Boys Pig Clubs.
The Department of Agriculture has
it's Boys Corn Club and it's Girls Can
ming Club, and now comes the Boys
Pig Club, being organized in the South
for the purpose of increasing the sup
ply of pork and encouraging good
breeding of hogs. Already clubs have
been organized in Alabama and Louis
lana, and club organization has been
started in Georgia. 1t is the purpose
of the officials of the department to or
ganize clubs in every southern state.
The idea of the organization started
with the farmers cooperative demon
stration branch of the department and
has been carried on with the cooper
alton of the Animal Husbandry
Branch of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. The organization is an off
shoot of the Boys Corn Club, which
has an organization in every southern
state and which has been the means
of producing record breaking yields Of
corn. The Pig Club, when thoroughly
organized will, it is expected, work
hand in hand with the Corn Club.
The boys of the latter will produce the
corn and the boys of the newly organ
lied association will see to it that the
pigs are produced to eat the corn.

TO SETTLE QUESTION
OF TRANSPORT COMMAND

Considerable correspondence has been
exchanged lately between the military
authorities in Manila and the war de-
partment in regard to the control and
command on board Army Transports
where the personnel of the Navy, Ma
rine Corps and Army are present a
report on this subject was recently
made by Lieutenant Colonel James X.
Erwin, inspector, at the headquarters
of the Philippine department, descrip-
tive of the circumstances prevailing on
the latest trip of the transport Logan
from San Francisco to Manila. That
officer pointed out that it was desir-
able to take some action to more defin-
itely settle the status of tho command
ing officers of troops on board under
these circumstances The war depart
ment finds it impossible to make any
special ruling in the matter at this
time. 1t is believed that no action
should be taken by the issue of gen
eral orders or of special instructions to
change the existing conditions, in view
of the fact that the Articles Of War
covering the situation are now before
congress for revision. The amended
l22d Article will, if approved by con
gress, read as follows: "When differ
ent corps of commands of the military
force of the United States happen to
join or do duty together the officer high
est in rank of the line of the Regu
lar Army Marine Corps, Organized
Militia, or Volunteers there on duty
shall, subject to the provisions of the
preceding article command the whole
and give orders for what is needful in
the service, unless otherwise directed
by the President. - 1t is believed that
the changes made in the proposed ar
ticlc are sufficient TO satisfactorily set
tie the question of control and com
mand on Army transports when mem
bers of the Marine Corps are being ear
ried thereon.

NOBLE HERE TO
VIEW DRYDOCK
Noted Engineer to Prepare Report
For Navy Department Which
Will Have Great Weight in De-
Gliding Mooted Questions - Ha-
waiian Waters Not Suited to
Floating Dock.

Alfred Noble, who possesses an in
gineer arrived in Honolulu yesterday
on the Sierra. He comes to make an in
vestigaton of the drydock situation
for the Navy department, and he lost
no time yesterday in going about the
business, for he was at Pearl Harbor
in company with Navy Civil Engineer
Gayler, an hour after he landed.
Mobiles report, it is understood, will
have weight with the Navy department
in clearing up conflicting statements
which have been made by various
boards of engineers who have passed
on the drydock proposition.
Noble expects to return to Washing
ton with his report August 20, leaving
here on the Mauchurla. He has ia
miliarized himself with the various re-
ports made, and his investigation here
will be actual observations of eondi-
tons.
According to the reports from Wash
ington the naval authorities there APP
pear to have no doubt that the dock
can be built III accordance with the de-
signs of the bureau of yards and docks
and on its present site, but it is be.
lieved that the work will cost more
than at first estimated, and before go
ing to congress for an additional APP
preparation, the Navy department wants
to have report from world known
expert.
The report Of Noble means much to
the San Francisco Bridge Company,
the contractors, for if he holds that
the dock can be constructed according
to the original specifications, the finan-
cial loss caused by the recent disaster
will fall far more heavily on the con
| tractors than will be the case if he
finds the plans impraeticable.
The suggestions that floating dry
dock be substituted has met with OBJ
| jections on the ground that the pres
ence of sulphuric acid in Hawaiian
waters would seriously increase the
cost of maintenance. II is stated that
it would be difficult and expensive to
protect the metal of such a structure
from corosion.
The special board of Navy civil en-
gineers officially informed the Navy
department that the drydock can be
built, but in view of the existing
geological conditions, it was decided il
order to eliminate all possible risk &c
obtain the best engineering opinion
from civil life.
