In spite Of a report by the majority
Of the finance committee contending
that the measure Is contrary to the
Organic Act in that the proposed loan
of 500, 900 could not be backed by
the credit Of the territory, and there
fore would not reyolve, the Farm
Loan Bill" passed second reading in
the house today, the vote being to
adopt the minority report presented
by Representatives Lyman and Ka-
waha. t...G -
In part, the report Of the minority
is as follows: .-..".. .... 49,.
The intent of this act is to AID
the actual homesteader who is in
need Of assistance SO that he will be,
able to get along in this world and
become an independent man in the
community in which he lives. We are
not only in duty bound to pass an
act of this nature, but in order to be
true to our principles and the party
platforms upon which we were elected
and the pledges made during the cam
paign that we would make laws to
assist the people and the homestead
ers, we should pass this law or any
other similar law. 49,.
This bill will not create any hard
ship upon the resources of the Terri
tory as the provisions for securing
the loan are well safeguarded by a
board that is given full authority to
look into all the applications for loans
before granting them, and no loans
wherein there is the least doubt win

have returned from Molokai where. in
company with committee of the SEN

will report on the investigation to-
morrow. The report will be a lengthy
one and will thoroughly cover the trip.
The trip up and down the trail

COMMITTEE ON
k[JHIO WHARF
MAKES REPORT

That the legislature allow an appro-
priation of $350,000 for proposed new
piers at Hilo &C the ground that the
Crescent City is a much congested
port, Is one Of the recommendations
|of the public lands committee in re-
porting out on its investigation of ku-
hio wharf. ID
Tie investigation was to determine
why the Great Northern and vessels
or the Matson fleet do not use the
wharf. In its report the committee
says, in part: @ ~ .aga -
Your committee finds that Kphio
wharf is an up-to-date substantial
structure. That IL is built in the
wrong position, having been put up in
q position opposite to the prevailing
currents. and thus in bad weather,
which is about one or two months in
the year. an undertow is caused which
your committee believes will De Cd
waited when the breakwater is COM
pleted. If the wharf had been con-
structed facing the current and not
broadside to il the undertow would
have no effect Your committee re-
commends that whenever any piles
are removed they be replaced with
concrete piles so as to make q perma-
nent structure, as some of the ohia
piles are now rotting. %
your COMMITTEE further recon-
mends that the dolphin piles be re-
moved or cut to the level of the wharf
. and that at the end of the
wharf, where there is. depth of 20
feet of water slip be constructed so
that lumber vessels can tie up there
and discharge. As it is there is con-
siderable loss of space at this point.
"We believe that the present wharf
age charge throughout the territory Is
insufficient to cover running expenses
and the payment of interest on the
amount Of money invested BY the gov
eminent in its wharf properties, and
therefore conscientiously recommend
the wharfage rates be increased from
cents a ton day on the net register
ed tonnage of the vessel TO 21a cents:
and your committee recommends that
house resolution be accepted and plac-
ed on file. and that copy of this re-
port be sent to the board OF narbor

ISANDERSH HELD
HEREFORHOUR

From II O'Clock this morning until
noon a dozen Marshall islanders VINO
arrived today from San Francisco on
the Oceanic liner Sonoma were held
under arrest By customs inspectors,
until 1t was determined that they are
not German subjects. They we're then
released to 60 wherever they desired
The men, an seamen, are members
of the crews of the refugee German
merchant vessels Neptune and Atlas.

Francisco, since the war began.
Their Boats Were Sold
Recently the two boats were sold
and the crews paid off. The sailors
said they could not stand the cold eli
mate of San Francisco and asked i'm.
migration officials If they could not
come to- Honolulu, to make their home
aboard the gas schooner Hermes mere,
the latter vessel being owned by the
same firm as the Neptune and Atlas,
the 1Jaluit Gesellschaft.
Status Not Enemy Subjects
After the islanders sailed on the
Sonoma for Honolulu, the United
States declared war on Germany. This
made the men, who look extremely
like Hawaiians, technically enemy
subjects. Because of the fact thai
the Marshall group was captured by
a Japanese expeditionary force from
the Germans and is now Japanese ter
ritDry, the men are now Japanese
subjects. They we're freed at noon on
instructions from Collector of the Port
Franklin and Richard L. Halsey, in
spect0r in charge of the U. S. immi-
grafton station at this port.
Cannot Live On Hermes
According to Boatswain Lankas Man
tala, of the Neptune, his fellow Mar
shall islanders include a cook and 10
sailors They will not be able to live
on the Hermes as they had hoped, as
she has been taken over by the gov
eminent, her crew now being in de-
tention at the federal immigration sta
ton together with the crews from the
seven other refugee German merchant
men here. The islanders will try TO
get work here as sailors. .Mantala

the Inter-Island.
Inspector Halsey said at noon there

survey CONTROL

Likelihood that the present legis-

plan OF placing the office of surveyor
general under that of land commission
er seems fading rs the last 20 days
of the session begin.
Opposition. thatSa number OF sens-
tors feel toward such q transfer of
authority was evident during the dis
cussion of the general appropriation
bill when Senators Chillingw0rth and
Castle. ESPECIALLY, argued against It.
Though these two used the Organic
Act as the basis Of their argument,
one report has It that the legislators
are also opposed to the move on politi-
cal grounds.
Surveyor Wall is good Republi-
can. according to report, and to put
him under the land commissioner,

be nngrateful Of a Republican legis-
lature, to say the least Wall him.

change, though he says his. objection

One or the interesting things abort
the situation Is that Wall does not

PAY YOUR BILLS.
Help Build Up This Community
by Paying Your Bills So That

None will deny that willful in-
debtedness is wrong. Nothing will
hurt mans standing in the conf
munity more than the habit of con-
tracing small debts and letting
them run on indefinitely. 1t Is
the little things, after all, that are
the real test of character.
There are very few persons una
BILE to pay almost at once the little
debts they owe. Whom they neg
lect these debts they put them
selves in the class with the fellow
who won't pay-and few of us de-
sire to he in the He Won't Pay
His Honest Debts class.
We are going to have Pay-Up

In order to promote friendship

There are many planters who
have the idea that neither freezing
weather nor wet weather has any
effect on the boil weevil. Tests
have been made with these pests
by freezing them in blocks of ice
and they come out alive. They
have had the heat test given them
and they have come out of it kick
ing. Those that are we'll protec-
ted from the cold survive, is the
belief. OF course many may be
killed and the number reduced,
but they multiply so fast when
the time comes that it has no ma
terial effect on them. 1t has been
proven that cotton can be made in
spite of boil weevils, and to do il
by early planting, having early
maturing seed and quick and OTTER
working crops. But it takes al
most perfect season to do this
which was not the case last year
With good fair season cotton cal
be made and we. hope the planter
will get it this year. Lake Provi

THE BOY WHO WILL BE
IN DEMAND.

One of the finest qualities In a
workman in the quality of seeing
what needs to be done and doing
il without being told. One OF the
rarest in a servant in the house is
the doing of things that need to
be done without beiug told. Young
men working their way through
college are Invaluable if they have
this quality. A tool is left out on
the lawn; there is a rail off the
fence; there is a window pane
gone somewhere. The boy who
tends to these things because they
need attending to, without specific
directions, is the boy who, other
things being equal, is going to be
in demand when he gets out into
the great world, and it is the at
tention to little things and the ha-
lbit of observation, which sees
what needs to be done and thel
does it. which makes exceedingl.
useful men. and women. Their
will always be position for sucl
persons. There will always be

Good Mothers

It is claimed that all the pres idents of the United States had good mothers. It is said that John c. Adams until the day of his death said the prayer that his mother had taught him. Lin coin said. "All that I am l owe to my mother" Garfield kissed the wrinkled face of his mother on the day of his inauguration and said. You brought me to this. Grover Cleveland said, Worldly honors or worldly per pleXities will never cause me to forget the lessons my mother taught me. " As the shadows lengthen, the memory of moth CTS love becomes intensified. The vision grown dim with age becomes clear and pictures of childhood days rise before us in their perfection. It is well so few instances are on record where a mother had failed to
