Will CONFER ON
OPEN|NGOF ROAD
OVER TANTALUS

The decision reached at a confer
ence to be held between Supervisor
Lester Petrie. chairman of the roads
committee of the board of supervis-
ors, and Governor Pinkham will de-
termine whether Tantalus road is to
be opened to automobiles.
This was decided last night at a
public hearing on the proposition of
opening the road, hearing called by
the board of supervisors. George G.
Guild, representing the Promotion
Committee. addressed the board on
the subject, warmly urging that the
proposition be carried out He sub
mitted a petition calling for the
opening of the road. This petition
carries the signature of almost every
property owner on Tantalus.
Following Mr.. Guild. GeOrg Rodiek.
D. P r. Isenberg and c. H. Dickey
and others spoke in favor of opening
the road. A wireless message was
received from l.. A. ThurstOn, one of
the large property owners there,
strongly favoring the proposition.
The supervisors likewise seemed in
favor Of it, agreeing that the ordinance
prohibiting the use of automobiles on
the road is now obsolete. The deci-
sion as finally reached was for Su-
pervisor Petrie to hold a conference
with Governor Pinkham on the sub
ject before formal action is taken to
repeal the ordinance.

PINEAPPLE PLANTER Will NOT gain

apple off the shelf any cheaper than
heretofore, and that therefore the
sale cannot be materially stimulated,
although a million or two dollars will
be lost to the islands. The only bene-
ficiaries, he held. will be the middle
men, and he declared that they will
put the difference in their pockets
between them. The cut. he said, has
already confirmed the jobbing end OF
the business in the belief that all
they have to do is to make their own
offer, and the fruit will come to them
from one source or another. IF 1t
were only possible for us packers to
fix the retail price" he declared, the
cuts might do us some good; but as
it is I don't think it will help us
out to any extent. have thought
that it might be good plan to print
the selling price Oh the can labels.
In any event, we as manufacturers
seem to be letting outsiders ruin the
most important end of our business,
while we sit back helpless"
Most of the packers who have con-
tracts with growers, have. a sliding
scale price based on fluctuations OF
the packed goods. The theory Is that
the packer and the grower shall equal
ly divide the loss when pines slump,
or the profits on an advance. A ton
of pineapples is assumed to equal 20
cases Of packed fruit. A change in
the price of a case 10 cents either
way means an increase or decrease on
raw fruit of $3.50 per ton. On the
81 l. ha Giu fhnr0fnrn
grower is to stand $1.25 per ton re-
duction for each 10 per case Is cents
per DOZEN which packed goods may
drop, and vice versa.
Before beginning the construction
of the immense cannery at Kalihi, the
Libby, Mcneil & Libby company
made contracts with a large number
of Japanese growers and others in the
Wahiawa district, for some 5000 tons
of fruit for this year. The company
expects to have fruit of its own
sufficient to bring this up to 10000
tons TO rthis factory this year. The
contracts entered into were made
with No. 212 extras selling at $1.75,
and on this basis the grower was to
receive $3.50 per ton at the cannery.
He is charged $3.50 per ton for
freight, which would leave him SIS.
This would have been a fair price,
but, based on the later cuts, these
growers will get 1925 per ton for the
fruit after paying freight to the can
merry. Practically all contracts which
have been made by the other COM
panes is based on this same scale.
The following table shows clearly
how the grower is affected by each
change in price of cents per dozen.
1t may vary somewhat, as the fluctua-
tons may not be exactly proportional
on the different grades Of packed
fruit, but substantially the scale is
as here shown:
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-04-25

Who is TO benefit from the big
slashes lately made in pineapple
prices?
In the first place it is easy to de-
monstrate that the man who grows
the fruit will not AS things look at
present he will get from the packer
this summer about $6.25 per ton -
perhaps less if prices of packed goods
drop any lower, and some of the
packers predict this. There are prob
ably few planters that are able to
produce pineapples delivered at the
cannery for less than $12 per ton.
This is the price at which the Ha-
waiian Pineapple Company is said to
be able to do it, A representative Of
Libby, McNeill & Libby stated a day
or two ago that it cost them S14 pei
ton The fact is clear that the pine
apple growing end of the business
stands to lose heavily this year, and
probably next year
1t isn't so easy to tell where the
packer gets off. There is probably a
good deal of difference in the cost
of packing in the different Gamer
les, due to different degrees of eff
cheney and character of equipment.
The more efficient, it is claimed. were
able to put out fruit in cases at
something like 1925 per case f. o. b.
Honolulu, while other packers claim
that their cost has been close to $500.
These were figures given when the
price of fruit was around about $40
per ton. There doesn't seem to be
any very exact information on this
subject, even among the Gamers, with
the exception of perhaps one or two
concerns, and the competition be-
tween the packers is such that their
cost figures seem to be more or less
jealousy guarded How much the
Gamers have lost or gained through
the cuts in price of the raw fruit is
not easy to figure, but the majority
claim that they cannot put pineapples
on the market under present prices
at a profit. One manager declared
yesterday that his concern will lose
between 10 and IS cents per case I'M
der the present rates In any event
there cannot be a great deal of pro-
fit in selling No. 212 extra sliced at
$3.50 per case, or S1,40 per dozen, the
present rate, which it is declared was
established this week by some one
of the firms when a discount of 5 and
2 per cent was offered in Chicago
over the recently announced price of
$3.50. These prices are f. o. b. San
Francisco. The freight from here
amounts to about cents per case,
and this with insurance, commissions,
etc, probably amounts to between 25
and 80 cents per case.
A representative Of one of the larg
er packing concerns was bitter in
commenting on the price cutting yes
teTday. He COntended that the con-
sumner will not be able to buy pine

GREAT STATEFAIR
OPENS NEXT WEEK
Most Wonderful Collection of the
States Products Ever Seen at
Any Exposition

Hot Springs, Nov. Y. With the
prize-winning products of various
county fairs arriving every day,
with large shipments of stock of
all kinds being received on every
incoming train, together with the
enormous collection of products
gathered by those working for the
Panama-Pacifc Exposition, and
with the best in the amusement
world booked for the free shows,
to say nothing of the many fast
horses that will compete for the
big purse on the opening day,
next Monday, when the big Ar
kansas Derby" will be run, the
stage for the ninth annual State
Fair, representing the greatest
collection of the products and re-
sources of the commonwealth, is
rapidly being set, and when the
gates at 0aklaWn park are thrown
open next Monday morning every
loyal son of Arkansas will have
cause to feel proud.
Gov. Geo. W. Hays will open the
fair. Its patrons will be surprised
at the great number of high-elass
exhibits, surprising anything of
the kind Arkansas has ever seen.
Every department of the fair is
better this year than last. 0ut-of-
state exhibits are larger. The
mineral exhibit is a marvel. The
work of the boys and girls in the
corn and canning clubs surpasses
anything they have previously at
tempted. 1t is a monster expo
sition" that awaits Arkansas resi-
dents here.
Protection for all is made GER
tain, for Pinkerton's best men, as
sisted by an augmented city and
county force of officers will guard
this fair as none other has ever
been protected. Meet your friends
at the State Fair next week.

PRODUCE SHIPMENTS
HEAVY LAST MONTH

During the month of October
there was 81 ,164 worth of poultry
shipped from Newark. Poultry
shipments for the month were a
little heavier than usual but the
egg shipments were a little below
the average.
A little more than two tons of
pecans were shipped during the
month of October, and the pecan
shipments will probably be much
heavier this month than they
were last month.
The total value of poultry, eggs
and pecans shipped during the
month of October was S2,284.65.

MECCA
FOR METHODISTS
Bishop Morrison Will Convene the
North Arkansas Conference in
That City Wednesday

Attention of the Methodist
church people of all North Arkan-
sas is directed toward the annual
session of the North Arkansas
Conference, which will convene at
BatesviIle next Wednesday.
Bishop H. c. Morrison will pre-
side over the conference and it is
expected that he will make a large
number Of changes in the appoint
ment of pastors.
The conference is a consolida-
ton of the White River and the
Arkansas Conferences, and en-
braces all of the state north of the
Arkansas river.
Bishop Morrison has made a
number of visits to various points
within the conference territory
during the past few months look
ing over the work to be done and
comforting with leaders of the de-
nomination with reference to prob
able changes. The number of
pastors and presiding elders whose
service at their present stations
reaches four years is said to be
much larger than usual, and this
means many changes.
Rev NJ. B. Umsted, pastor of
Newark station, has served the
church here two years and has
many friends here who earnestly
desire his return to this work. He
is one of the best men in the
Batesyille District and has done a
good work here.

NEGRO SECTION OF
GOING LAW STANDS
Supreme Court Holds That Negroes
Are Not Barred From Rights
in Liquor Matters

For the third time the Supreme
Court has held the Going liquor
law constitutional, the latest deci-
sion being handed down by the
Supreme Court last Monday iii
cases brought by negroes in the
Jefferson and Garland Circuit
Courts. Each case attacked the
Going law on grounds so much
alike that one opinion was handed
down for both cases The cases
were the first in which negroes
were parties ruled on by the Su-
preme Court.
In the Jefferson Circuit Court
Ferd Havis, negro resident of
Pine Bluff, and others filed suit
against the county judge, c. M.
Philpot, and in doing so attacked
the constitutionality of the famed
liquor law. c. NJ. Wade sued in
the Garland Circuit Court against
County Judge c. J. Horner.
The grounds for attack were
that the law was unconstitutional
in that it barred negroes from a
voice in the petition. The Garland
County suit, alleged that the law
prevented a negro from having
any voice in the matter. The SUI
preme Court held, however, that
such was not the case, but that a
negro had a legal right to be made
a party to any action taken under
the law. In counties where the
number of negroes is greater than
the number of white residents the
complaint alleged the majority is
ruled by the minority. The Su-
preme Court held in regard to
this allegation that the black vot-
ers could reject saloons at the gen
eral election, where their number
is greater than that of the whites.
1t is probable there will be an
appeal taken to the United States
Supreme Court in one of the cases.

FARMER SHOOTS HIMSELF

Pony Rogers, a farmer living
near Bengay, just over the line in
Sharp county, ended his life Sat
urday by shooting himself with a
shotgun. Neighbors passing found
the body and the gun in the road
near his home. The coroner's jury
was of the belief that Rogers used
a fence picket to discharge the
gun. The picket was still tightly
gripped in one hand. The entire
charge from the gun entered Rog.
ers' heart. He had been dead some
time when found.
