REASONS FOR BONUS
SYSTEM IN HAWAII
Plantations Are 'Group-Farms'
Where Independent Operations
Must Be Controlled

Tropical agriculture is more closely
comparable with the market gardening
Of the temperate zone than with field
farming. Extensive cultivation of one
crop in Hawaii does not mean the same
as extensive farming in Nebraska, Min
nesota and Missouri, for here every
field is a succession Of garden plots
each of which is handled by itself as
a fraction of the larger whole. This is
true of cane, coffee, pineapples, ban
anaS, cotton, rice and tobacco.
a plantation is simply a group-farm.
The enterprise must be so handled that
all the GHrden plots and patches are IN
der single supervision and direction,
that ali may be doing the same thing
at the same time, all working together
towards n common purpose. There
must be community Of interest between
the management and direction of the
enterprise on one side and the laborcr
who is growing the crop because the
contractor, tenant or independent
farmer cannot prepare his product for
market, or attend to it's sale, that is,
not if the product is to fetch it's full
value.
Is Community Affair
A plantation cannot shut down its
mill and refuse to pulp coffee or grind
cane, thereby throwing the entire bur
den of loss on the grower, simply be
cause the market price of coffee and
sugar falls to a level where there is no
profit. When the opposite situation
arises and profits are abnormal the
question of how these can be distrib,
uted so that all share equitably in them
is no less a community matter. Public
opinion would not uphold either the
man who controls the manufacture and
sale If he were to claim all the unusual
profits, or the grower and laborer if he
were to demand more than his share
for tho community has rights even
though it owns no stock and grows no
crops. If the labOrcrs who are grow,
ing tn" ten thousand little garden
patches Of cane making up the planta
tions feel that they would rather have
their increased profits at the end of the
day, week. or month, preferring cash in
hand to deferred profits of unknown
volume, and it is only human nature to
want that, it would seem right and
proper that a speedy read iustment Of
the wages basis should be made, and
the bonus system discontinued
To Reward Merit
From the standpoint Of the manage.
agemcnt the factory owner and the
salesman continuity of production
and uniformity of product are highly
desirable, and hence the employers de
mand and the employees should give
continuous service.
The planters are endeavoring to de
wise means to reward faithful service,
at the same time granting all planta,
ton labOrers just and fair increase in
wages in order that they and the ccm-
munity at large may share in the un.
usual prosperity war has conferred on
Hawaii.

SOME STORM DAMAGE

BOILING HOUSE EXPERTS
AGREE ON DEFINITIONS

Standards are very important in any
line of business, as everyone knows, but
before there can be standards there
must be exact definition of the terms

pany have got together and entered
into formal agreement on the question
of what cheating surface is, in or.
der that there may be greater uniform
ity in the measurement of the effective
capacity Of evapOrators and vacuum
pans. DR.. r. s. Norris, chief mill chem,
list of the Planters Association, has
been instrumental in formulating the
definitions
Heating surface is defined as
"the surface in contact with the sub
stance being evapOrated." There are
three forms of sugar machinery to
which this definition applies, "Stand,
ard, and "LiIlie' evaporators, and
vacuum pans. In "Standard" evap.
orators there are two classes. In the

In the Lille evaporation, cheating

Vacuum pans are "coil" and zeal

surface is the outside surface of the

must remember that when gu

level this commodity ceases to be an
everyday necessity and becomes a
luxury. The price controls consunp-
ton. Values have already about
reached the limit where consumers
will begin to curtail their purchas-
es, &c., ..r
While IL is almost certain that
sugar prices will rise to a much
higher level, because of the misfor-
tunes Of warning Europe, serious
weather conditions in Cuba, and an
impending shortage in the worlds
supply, 1t is generally felt by the
leaders among Hawaii's sugar pro-
ducers that the prices of plantatio
stocks are now far too high. Further
speculative catapulting of values
will only lead to heavy losses when
