population. That this paradoxical
state of affairs does exist is evidence
lof, a weak spot in our social struc-
ture. :..st -" l. r.. +. :
idle and unimproved lands seem
to constitute one of the safest and
most profitable investments. Unfor-
tunGtely for the unemployed, the in-
vestment in land does not need in
vestment in labor to make it pay
dividends. Wealth may thus be in
vested and large gains realized mere
ly by waiting. By this means we
foster unemployment"
Taxation is suggested as a possible
means to break Up these large hold
ings. 1t is pointed out that certain
tracts mentioned are taxed at rates
varying from AZ to cents per, acre.
Though good citizens may ques-
ton the adrisability of using radicsl
means to pry the land nonopolists
loose from their holdings all must
agree that the present methods Of
taxation will not do IT." concludes

Sir: 1t now seems certainty. that

Strengthening cur coast Notifications
and naval craft, but how about the
men BEHIND the guns? They canno-
be wished into efficiencys nor can
they grow up overnight The science

We know that we're call made for
volunteers to defend our country, our
every son would wish to be in the
first line, and down deep in our hearts
We know also that no parent could
stay that wish OF their son. Then
can we as parents be so thoughtless
oil the safety OF our sons as TO send
them forth unprepared to a certain
cruel slaughter? Could we as bust
ness men expect our stencgraphers 10
step into our power plants and be
even efficient assistants, TO our ma
chinists in running the plants? Could
we as mothers ride safely in pas
senger train that our unframed sons
were running? ........
The machinery of war is far the
most complicated OF them all, and only
men educated in the science of this
terrible machinery can be expected 10
cope with men who are educated in it.
Then it would seem TO me that we

unframed boy to keep, the trained

Since Hawaii is vitality interested in pro
lection on Legitimate industry, the steady
growth of sentiment in favor of a non-partisan,
permanent commission is watched here with
much interest Hawaiian businessmen strong
~ favor partisan investigation of the facts
and are willing to have expert and unbiased
opinion at any time. When the investigators
for the e. S. bureau of commerce were here
few months ago-the party headed by Thomas
j. Sheridan they were given every facility
for their work the sugar planters could afford.
In fact, the federal experts commented both
publicly and privately upon the splendid CO.
operation they received here in their efforts to
get at the facts of sugar production in Hawaii.
This was an instance of expert investigation
which would have even more guarantee of non
partisanship if directed by distinctly non
partisan board. -.@

he has changed his mind on the subject Of a

letter to Chairman Claude Kitchin of the

outlines his position now and gives the reason
for the modification Of an attitude which APP
peared unshakable only few months ago. lie
says
II have change my mind because all the circuIn-
Itances Of the rid have changed and il seems to
me- In view or the extraordinary and far-reaching
changes which IN European war has brought about
II Is absolutely necessary that should have

Of attitude towar d the socalled protection question
That Is neither h ere there. A commission such
as have suggest ed would have nothing to do with

exchange prevailing in the world so that leg
