the same work on the same scale OF
living as your Oriental workman. Not
only would you not expect them to do,
but dare say even if you did rely
on them the American labor could not
be found because of the acute short
age in the states and to get American
labor you would have to make hign
Inducements
Now then If you can't get American
labor what is the solution You must
have labor to keep your industries go
ing. If not American you must have
what you can get. And as / am told
there remains only the Far East, per-
haps Porto Rico to draw from.
1t seems to me to be case OF not
what you want or would prefer, but
what you must have and to get such a
necessity, in the face of existing con-
ditions elsewhere, you must take adj
vantage under your limitations and do
the best you can.
But agree that in the territory
there should be government regu-
lations that would prohibit an alien
from becoming the owner of land.
Such laws are in force in most of the
Pacific coast states. That would solve
one of your problems ..

Lihue President Says Territory
Should Not Lose Sugar
Lands

Homesteaders are welcome to the
undeveloped lands OF this territory,
many of which are capable OF cane
and other production, but the planta'
ton lands which have been brought
TO a high state of development after
years of effort and huge expenditures
of money should not be "bartered
away.
This is. the opinion of Hans lsen'
berg. president of Lihue Plantation,
given in an interview to the Star
Bulletin. Mr.. Isenberg says such &C
ton would mean distinct financial
loss to the government.
Il am heartily in favor of home
stealing in its true sense" says the
plantation man, but / do not be-
lieve it is true demonstrating for men
TO come upon land that has been
brought to a high state of cultivation
and reap the benefits that other per-
sons have wrought. The idea of
demonstrating is for the homeseeker
to bring undeveloped soil to state o.
cultivation and productiVeness, in re-
turn for which he becomes owner OF
the land"
Much of the plantation land was
cleared of stones at a big expense,

FRITTERING away OFPUBLIC LANDS.

says Mr.. Isenberg, sometimes as high
as $500 an acre In Kappa homestead
ers are getting whole tracts for $500
and some have sold for as high as
$4,000 with hardly SO much as turn
ing their hands to the soil.
Divide plantation land INTO home
steads and the sugar production will
drop Immediately, Mr.. Isenberg be-
Heves. The homesteader will plant
one thing here and another there and
put road or two through his place,
all of which cuts down the sugar pro-
ducing area.
If the government is cheated the
people as a whole are cheated, he
says, for the benefit of few. He does
not believe that the revenue from the
lands if transferred will ever be as
much as if the leases are returned to
the plantations.
Lihue Plantation now has 1000 acres
of government land lying fallow where
the ratoonS have been taken off. This
is part of the land on which the lease
has expired. If it is open for home
stealing it will not be possible to get
the next crop off of it for three years,
he believes. IL
An interesting thing in homestead
ing is that homestead land cannot be
sold to a corporation, although it can
be sold to an individual That indi-
vidual can sell to another individual
but never to corporation

Details on the war savings certltl
Gates, War-savings stamps and thrlf
, stamps campaign to be opened by tn
United States department of the treas
ury on December /, have been re
ceived by Robert F. SteVer, genera
executive secretary of the local liberty
loan committee during the recent cam
rJaign. The sale of the war savings
certificates will give the citizens Of
small means an opportunity to make
investments in government securities
The war-savings campaign will be
in line with the general movemen;
towards economy which has been in
augurated through the United States
and it's territories.
The war-savings certificate will be
worth 500, when it natures on Janu
airy l, 1923. The war-savings stamp
will have a maturity value of IS in
five years. A thrift stamp will be
valued at 25 cents at the time pur'
chased.
The plan makes it feasible for any
one to buy a 800 certificate in. in
stalments of 25 cents. A thrift card
will be provided and every time one
has % cents to spare thrift stamp
can be purchased. When the sixteen
spaces on the thrift card are all filled
with ''two-bit" thrift stamps the card
is worth 81 1t is then turned in to-
getner with the difference between 81
and the current price of a war-savings
stamp. The war-savings stamp will
be issued for S412 with a maturity
value of S. in 1928. So that when a
thrift card is filled, it can be turned
in together with l. cents for a war
savings stamp which has a par of s.
in five years. With the purchase of a
war-savings stamp a 500 war-savings
certificate with 20 blank spaces to
which war-savings stamps may be af-
fixed will be given. When the holder
of the certificate has finally filled the
document with 20 war-savings stamps
he will have a government paper that
will be worth 800 in 1923, but which
has cost him $S24O to get.
The letter received from the war
savings committee which explains the
system in another way is as follows:
"R. F. Stever, Secretary Of
Liberty Loan Committee.

outstanding at any one time cannot
exceed $2,000,000,000. The terms AMI
conditions of the act were left to the
discretion of the secretary of the
treasury.
The secretary of the treasury APP
pointed a war-savings committee.
This committee has evolved a plan
whereby the waf-saVings certificates
will be issued by. the secretary of the
treasury which spaces provide for
20 war-savings stamps. The certificate
is not transferable and will mature
on January 1, 1923, The war-savings
stamps will be issued during January,
1918 for $4.12, which price represents
a maturity value of SIS in five years
discounted at per cent, compounded
quarterly. The price of the stamps
will increase by one cent for each
month during 1918, the increase in
price representing the ACQUIRED inter
est. Thus, all stamps affixed to a
war-savings certificate, series 1918,
mature at one time, January 4, 1928,
and SIS will be payable at that time in
respect of each war-savings stamp az
fixed to the certificate.
In addition to the war-savings
stamps, thrift stamps in denomina-
tons of Is cents will be issued, which
stamps may be affixed to thrift card
provided with spaces for sixteen
stamps The card when filled is
worth 81 and, with the difference be-
tween Sd and the current price of the
war-savings stamp, is exhangeable for
war-savings stamp.
This, in brief, is the plan of the
committee. 1t is expected to inaugu-
rate sales campaign about December
1st.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) III. E. BENEDICT,
