Sugar Growing Contract

In the matter of the sugar growing
contract which is of very vital i'm
portance to the future of homestead
ing in these Islands, Governor Nc
Carthy explains in a letter to the
Chamber of Commerce, that the con
tract entered into with the Waiakea
Mill Company was a temporary one,
made with a view to saving the
ratoons then growing on the land.
This agreement contained a clause to
the effect that any contract which
might be made between the Mill Com
pany and the government, should be
a part of the final homesteader con
tract.
Constructive criticism was then in
vited. The only criticism received
was that which came from Kauai.
Strange as it may seem, the parties
most Immediately and vitally interest
ed, viz, the prospective Waiakea home
steaders, hadn't word to say,-and
did not seem to be awake at all. They
declared later that they had never
seen the proposed contract, and knew
nothing about it. 1t certainly seems
a little strange that the government.

for them, in a measure at least did
not furnish them with a copy of this
contract

repudiated it, and formulated a numb.

of these strenuous objections, this
original contract will probably be
cancelled and new one entered into
with the Waiakea Mill Company. The
Governor admits that he made a mis-
take in approving the Waiakea con

That is the way official and diplo-

that the effort will fail. From the de-

NO DAMAGES ON PASS
Railway Employees and Families Must
Ride at Own Risk.

In an opinion handed down this
week Judge John c. Pollock of the
United States district court, held that
officers and employees of a railroad or
members of their family injured in a
wreck while riding on a pass cannot
recover damages for injuries.
This ruling puts to naught a Kansas
statute which prohibits a railroad
company from making any contract,
rule, regulation or devise to exempt
itself from any liability for injuries to
it's employees.
The decision grew out of a damage
suit against the Missouri Pacific
brought by Mrs. Iva Elzea who was
injured while riding on a pass from
Hoisington to Council Grove. The DAD
held that at the time of the accident
she was riding upon a gratuitous pass
issued to her husband, a brakeman in
the employ of the company. and her
self, which pass contained a proviso
reading, the person accepting and
using this pass thereby assumes all
risk of accident and injury to person
and loss of or damage to property

New York, April 30.-There is no

of foreign aid, has the least chance of

government. declared Professor E. A.
Ross, of the University of Wisconsin,
in a report which he has just made
to the American Institute of Social
Service. The institute sent Professor
Ross to Russia last year to study social
conditions in that country and to try
to establish relations between Rus
sian and American social institutions.

inexpert in organization, and the state
