E. c. Moore of Haiku Writes
Open Letter to Visiting
Congressman

z. C. Moore OF Haiku, Maui, has ad-
dressed the following open letter 20
the visiting congressman, through the
Star-Bulletin: f.. -.
An Open Letter to the Visiting
Congressman.
Haiku, Maui, November IA, 1911.
Gentlemen: Some of us, who be-
Iieye that for the sake of the future
welfare of the Territory OF Hawaii
every proper step should be taken to
increase the number of Independent
citizen farmers in the Territory, have
come to feel that change in the land
laws is necessary. The present laws
regulating the demonstrating of pub
lie land in the Territory make it too
easy to obtain title to homestead,
and consequently constitute an inFi-
tation to spectators.
The result is that when homestead
tract is open there are many more APP
plicants than lots, and a large pro-
portion of the applicants have not the
least intention of making their homes
upon the homesteads, Or of farming
them They build shack, stay there
occasionally, perhaps-at the end OF
the required two years secure the
oaths needed as to their residence, pay
the assessed value, and lease the home
stead to a corporation or an alien
The legitimate farmers, who might
have had the homesteads and made
homes Of them, are largely crowded
out at the drawings by these specu-
lators.
Government Should Retain Title
This condition is not peculiar to
demonstrating in Hawaii. 1t has oc-
CURED elsewhere, and the remedy for
it has been discovered and applied.
The remedy is for the government
never to part with the title, and to
require continuous residence by the
homesteader. In New Zealand the Sc
year renewable lease, and long term
residence requirement, has succeeded
in securing the desired end-the peo-
pling of the land with real farmers.
We are confident that in Hawaii a
similar arrangement would do the
same.
A bill III. B. 1881 was introduced in
the last legislature covering this. We
already have a provision in our laws
for 999 year leases without rental, re-
quiring continuous residence, restrict
ed to very small areas. (Revised Laws
of Hawaii, 1915, Chapter 80, Part 6,
sections 3SS and following.) H. B. Us
would have added a new part,-Part
from the present Part
6 in requiring an annual rental of
r~r cent of the assessed value of the
land, and enlarging the area to be |
taken. 1t is a safe guess that no
Spectator would be attracted to such |
a proposition. yet it gives the very
best terms possible to the real farmer. |
He is as secure in his possession as J
though he held fee simple title, and all
