HILo PEOPLE ARE VERY
SORE AT JOHN WISE

HILO, March 26-Intense indigna-
ton has been expressed in Hilo re-
garding the statement made by Sen
ator John Wise to the effect that he
endorsed the proposed change in the
Organic Act that will, if approved of
by Congress, allow of the releasing of
all highly cultivated land to the high
est bidders, instead of homesteading
the land. Many citizens who are not
of Hawaiian blood declare that they
intend to pull up stakes before long
and leave the country, for, as they say,
there will be no chance in the future
of them securing a homestead.
1t is also pointed out that Senator
Wise's plea that the people of Ha-
waiian blood are not getting home
steads is not borne out by the Waia-
kea experiment where about so per
cent OF the new cane farmers are
Hawaiians, or part-Hawaiians.
