the system spread throughout Europe
until now these peoples banks-as
they are called-are collectively rich
er and more powerful than any
American trust, or than the Wall
street Money Trust" itself. Accord
ing to a 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, 900; and the combined
cooperative societies of Germany had
during the year in question done a
business amounting to $6,1SS, 000,0 900.
These are accurate statistics taken
under government supervision. ~.
Other Countries Take Note
Since Germany is a. 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
noVprty which tho ill-pOvornmant 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.
The method Of organizing and oper-
ating these societies is very simple.
A number of neighbors get together
and choose a managing committee.
They subscribe to articles of associ-
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 friendly outsider. The
large estate owners in Europe often
times thus assist the societies of
their neighborhood. AS money is OBJ
tanned it is put to work in about the

STRIKING

Ex-Governor Carter, chairman Of
the Sugar Protection Committee, has
summarized some of the principal ar
guments being used In the commit
tees campaign as follows, under the
lille: -:
Suggestive Ideas to be Put In Your
.... .. Own Words.s
1st-HawaH 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 cou-
.Gitions, for 1t was built up under the
reciprocity treaty.
4th-It costs us at least SIS per ton
cl 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 a question OF max
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
iesents 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-
1uce 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
by a 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.
6ustry 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. It now
operates fleet of 20 vessels, with ap-
proximately 100000 tonnage 1t Is es-
timated that during 1912. | Hawaiian
sugar contributed $500, 900 to Ameri.
can shipping interests.
12th-Under annexation, we surren-
dered our customs revenue to the fed
eral government This, during 1899,
amounted to 1926. 62S.s5 This loss
Ia 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 1872
it was $1,654,76I34. None Of our
competitors are so taxed

Provisions for Agricultural
Credit and Cooperative
Work Have Succeeded
In Elsewhere

Hawaii's new and energetic plans
to assist homesteaders are signalized
by the appearance of a striking meas
ure in the house, Bill 1875, now before
the finance committee. 1t 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 lii was introduced in the leg
islature by the house committee on
public lands, and relates to coOpera-
tive societies, contains more promise
for the small-farming industries of
Hawaii than It's 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
enables 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-
moters aud 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 were 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,-that is, to buy stock,
seed, implements and other things that
would themselves earn money to re-
pay the loan. - lAUH
Impractical as 1t mignI seem for a
number of almost penniless people to
capitalize themselves by uniting their
the scheme actually worked
in practice. The collective credit of
a community of small farmers proved
a workable asset despite the, desper-
ate circumstances of the individual
NOf course the beginning
was slow, but from the early expert
mental, weak an dstruggling societies
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-04-04

A second edition of the Kaiwiki
homestead case, in which the supreme
court decided that the homesteaders
were not homesteaders in the eyes OF
tn law but tenants Of the Hakalau
plantation, has come to light through
the appeal of Joseph Ferry. Ferry
claims that he bought the interest in
the crop of homestead belonging to
enc Silyiera under the impression
that the land belonged to Silviera as
q homesteader and not to the planta-
ton. Now he wants the plantation to
pay him for the cane, which the plan
tation, alleging that the land was
theirs in the first instance, refuses
to do.
