ple who are supposed to be home

his residence can be considered as in
both places, yet cases of this kind get
through"
One of the homesteaders interview
ed on Kauai suggested that the terri
tory should have land inspectors on
all of the homestead islands to keep
account of these matters and see that
the laws are obeyed.
Another intimated that the law
should be changed to prohibit a man
who draws lands under homestead
rights from transferring to another
person before he gets his patent. They
believe the law as it stands on this
today is. conducive to speculation.
Kauai people are proud of the fact
that their homesteaders took up vir-
gin soil. Kapaa lands were consider
ed as pasture lands and had not been
touched for agricultural purposes by
the plantation, they saW Their de-
veIopment goes to show that home
stealing can be made success in
the islands, they say. Pitt r
Homesteaders in district between
Koloa and Hanapepe also pointed out
as proof that homesteaders can be
happy and contented. There has new
er been a foot of land previously de-
veloped by a plantation taken up for
demonstrating on Kauai, it is said.
Homesteaders in Kappa are seeking
to put through Congress the meas
ure which will allow them to get pat
ents to lands which they received in
transfer with the government for the
lands first taken up. After the trans
fer had been made it was learned
that the change was not legal, though
approval had already been given for it.
Accordingly the patents could not be
issued. A resolution to grant them
passed the territorial legislature and
is now in Congress where it will pass
unhindered, according to the congress

to the end that each may complement
the other and be jointly dedicated to
the service of the public.
The committee submit that the
above additional facilities are both
necessary and feasible. They further
suggested as a general proposition
that water terminals must be provid-
ed by the states or by municipalities
or other public agencies of the states
ganized and maintained by indirid-
uals, corporations, or other local
agencies. 1t may be substantially stat
ed that congress may only improve
for purposes of navigation the capac-
ity of harbors and the channels of the
interior waterways.
1t will be admitted that there are a
limited number of harbors and a larg-
er number of interior waterways on
which the foregoing essentials have
not been provided. In fact, it may pc
stated that the people of the country,
including even that forcerul class OF
citizens who manage large industrial
units and are vitality interested in
transportation, appear to have slight
knowledge of the primary essentials
for securing transportation by water.
The demand for the movement of pro.
ducts by water which exists under
normal conditions has been made
acute under war conditions. but in
many cases the essential facilities are
lacking: -.~.s ~.
The committee are impressed with
the conviction that it is their duty to

LECTION of duty upon the part of the
public and to express the opinion that
appropriations. should not be made for
the improvement of those rivers and
harbors where the communities and

education. They find it difficult to ex-
cuse larger cities where production IS
large and additional facilities OF

where neither ignorance nor poverty
can be pleaded in extenuation. The

time will be required. even where the.

there shall be no wilfHl disregard Of

Kauai homesteaders as a whole are

people the power to call for an open.
ing up of public lands, but they do be-
lieve that the laws should be amend
ed to allow the water question to be

That the water situation may deyei-

seems a likely prophecy after inter,

voiced his apprehension against let
ting the water question run as 1t is
now running without we'll defined
rules of handling it. Later he declared
that he thinks it is the more pressing
for solution than the problem of lands.
E. NJ. Cheatham of Kapaa argues
that the land and water question
SHOULD be handled together as in the
states, and Cheatham would amend
the land laws so as to define resi-
dence." At present, he says, it con-
veys no definite meaning for persons
in the homestead tracts if the man
ner in which some of them occupy
lands can be taken as indication.
''In my opinion" he says, IF a man
is married he and his wife should
make their home on the land for the
three years required by the special
homestead agreement. 1t should not
be that one side of the family stays in
town and the other lives on the plan
tation to fulfil the letter of the law.

should not be considered as occupying
