THE BONUS SYSTEM
EXISTS IN HAWAII
MUST WORK. : Is TO 20 DAYS A
& MONTHa 10 GET THEIR SHARE &
III OF THE BONUS A

HONOLULU. T. Ham odd phase
of the industrial life of Hawaii'is the
bonus system, based on the current
price OF raw sugar. which determines
the .amounts paid by the planters to
their a., 900 laborers. This system was
adopted by the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' association in 1912, according to
officials of the association, in order
to quite labor unrest by guaranteeing
to the workers an. equitable share of
the planters prosperity and to make
| the laborers more Industrious. The
officials now assert that it has ac-
complished these objects.
Under the old flat wage system,
many field laborers worked just
enough to earn a living, spending
many days in idleness. Under the new
system. men must work at least 20
and women Is days each month to
participate in the bonus.
AS amended on November 1, 1917.
the bonus scale is based on a price for
raw sugar of $S5 ton, at which fig
ure laborers would receive a bonus of
one and one-half per cent of their
wages, with an increase of one and
one-half per cent for each dollar per
ton increase in the price of sugar.
For the present year, should the
price of sugar average $145 a ton,
the laborers would receive a bonus
of 911a per cent, almost doubling
their wages. To those laborers who
comply with the requirements, so per
cent of their monthly earnings is paid
each pay day as an advance on the an
nual bonus, the remainder of which is
distributed each year on October 81.
This year a laborer whose wages
are $50 a month, is receiving S45. each
pay day and on October 81, of the
bonus rate is finally determined at
81 IL per cent, he will be paid the
balance due him, making his earnings
for. the year $689.40 instead of $3.50,
providing he has remained in the en-
ploy of the same plantation, pro-
vision that has all but eliminated mi
gratory tendencies among the Orient
al field workers.
Laborers incapacitated by injuries
or illness, or who are excused from
work for other good reasons, do not
forfeit their bonuses. Several thous- |
and who were drafted into the army
will receive their share of the excess
payments.
Last year the monthly advance was
one-third of the wages, being raised
this year to so per cent because it

was apparent that war prices would
make the bonus rate unusually high
and it was designed to give the work
ers. a more equitable distribution of
their excess earnings.
In 1917 the planters of Hawaii paid
$7,387,372 in bonuses, and in 1916 the
figure was $4,003.684. For 1918-19
ending October 81 this year, it is es-

subject of responsibility on the part
of Mexico for the safety of Ameri-
cans in that country I make the fol-
lowing statement:
"While in general there is presum-
ed to be no difference between the
rights of aliens and the rights of ma
tives to be treated fairly and justly
under local laws and by the local au-
thorities, nevertheless should the op-
Grafton of the local laws or the acts
of commission or omission by local
authorities result in injustice to Am
ericans or lack of adequate protection

privilege, as well as the right, Of this
Government, under international law.
by diplomatic intervention to see to
1T that justice is accorded to it's citi-
zens and their rights given proper
protection.
1.-The reason for this is that, when a
condition Of political unrest and law
lessness exists, such as obtains in GER
tain parts of Mexico, aliens being de-
MED proper protection by the author
tiles must rely on their Government,
operating through diplomatic chan
nels, to obtain statement and the
basis of the policy followed by this
Government, though it is necessarily
subject to modification in particular
cases.
at should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the accepted law and prac-
tice of nations is that, as a rule, it
must be shown that a foreign govern
ment is responsible for injustice done
to aliens or that it's constituted author
tiles are negligent in protecting their
lives and property before liability is
incurred"

HARVESTING CROPS
WITH LIVE STOCK

Farm labor often may be saved by
using live stock to harvest and mar
ket part Of the crops. By pasturing
forage crops, and feeding down grain
crops, much labor can be saved
Hay must be secured for winter
feeding, and grain for home use and
seed, but on many farms consider
able acreage may be turned directly
into beef, pork and mutton.
Pasturing off the crops also helps
to maintain the fertility of the soil
without extra labor or expense.
The keeping of farm animals fur
nishes profitable work during the
winter when other work is less press
inf, and when they require most care.
This distributes rcmunerative labor
throughout the year more evenly than
otherwise would be possible.
Farm Animals as Harvest Hands.
Live stock, properl ymanagcd, will
help the ovcrworked farmer to harvest
some of his crops proftably, thus saw
ing man labor during the busy seas
ons. In return, the care Of the young
stock furnishings profitable employ
ment for the farmer and his hired
help, if he has any, during the win
ter and early spring, when work is
slack. This not only saves much man
labor during the busy season, but
eQualizes the labor throughout the diff
fcrent seasons.
When sufficient farm labor is not
available to harvest all the crops, live
stock offer a profitable method Of
taking care of the surplus hay and
grain by pasturing them. The farm
animals not only harvest them cheap
~. but while doing so make profitable
gains and help to maintain soil fer
tility. Instead of cutting the entire
lover on other hay cron
some Of it saves much tabor.
The cash returns from the hay
harvested by the live stock are us
ually fully equal to thos" received
when the hay is harvcs;r by hand
labor.
Waste or poor rye, wheat. oats and
barley may be hogged down to cXccll-
cnt advantage. Corn and mature soy
beans are harvested successfully by
hogs and sheep, and to some extent by
cattle. 1t is usually customary to
fence off part Of a corn field by a
movable fence, and after one strip is
cleaned up, to incloSe another.
Plenty Of water and a little salt are
necessary for the greatest improve
ment Of the live stock.

Corruption Among Leaders of the
Revolution.

Washington, Nov. 12.--Sccretary
Of State Lansing answered today the
criticism that has been directed
against the Government in connection
with the case of William o. Jenkins,
the American consular agent, who
was recently kidnapped at Puebla by
Mexican bandits, and former state
ment of the Governments attitude on
Mexican responsibility. Secretary
Lansing said:
The newspapers in connection with
the Jenkins kidnapping case made it
appear that had said that Americans
in Mexico had no greater rights to pro
lection than Mexicans. I regret that
the context of my comments were not
given in full because it would have
shown that I was referring to a con-
dition in which the Mexican authorit-
les had employed every means which
theyepossessed or should have posses
sed to protect the lives and property
Of aliens in any Mexican community
If the authorities failed to provide
means Of protection or to use such
means the statement attributed to me
would not apply.
