He favored a long teini and that the terms of the contract should he such that those who v re dummies who were taking up lands for others would find it impossiUe to do so. Oarl Smith of the t'ommissioii did most of the speaking for the hoard and by his system of questioning he drew from the various speakers their views in a short time. Land Agent, V. O. Aiken was a conspicuous figure at the met ling and defended the present system of administration and the land laws that are now on the statute books of the Territory. It is unquestionably true that there is a popular demand for land among the people and as the govern ment is supposed to be for the best interests of the public a change should He mailt- in the administra tion of our land department that would make it more easy for the public to acquire homes and thus form a larger population that would feel a deeper interest in the welfare of the country than they do now. The Land Commission Meets Maui Residents in Wailuku. Three of the members of the Land Commission J. P. Cooke, S. M. Ivanakanui antf Carl Smith, appoint ed by Governor Frear to investigate the land laws and make recomend- atfons as to the wishes of the public in the matter of the administration of the land ollice as well ns any changes in the laws that are gener ally desired arrived in Wailuku Saturday morning ami listened to suggestions from manyif the lead ing citizens of Maui. In the main the demand was for a more liU-nil land law and admin ist ration of the ollice by which lmiie lide home stcadcrs could acquire and get a patent to their homesteads while extending the time required io get a fee simple title to their lands in order to keep out those who wish to speculate in tin' lands or to ac quire them who are already holders of large traces of land. Charles Wilcox favored doing away with the nine hundred and ninety nine year lease ami advocat ed the acquirement in fee of the uids now held by the lessees. This was a good suggestion as it is a well known fact that a tenant never lias ' the same interest in the land on which he resides as the man who holds it in fee. He made many other excellent suggestions and which he had can-fully prepared and had evidently given the subject in telligent consideration. Judge McKay favored giving large tracts of land than had In-en the custom in the past. He opxised land exchanges by the government cither with individuals or coriioru-tions. The Rev.

Case believed in the more general Application of the American land laws than had so far been advocated and pointed out that at the present time there was a lack of knowledge of local conditions in the land ollice as to what the various lands were adapted to and also that there is but little land at present available for homesteading purposes for the reason that most of the lands are under lease. Honorable II. P. llaldwin said ho favored a more liberal land law than we now have. He spoke at some length and made many good sug gestions. II. M. Coke, editor of the Maui News, addressed the Iloard and urged the recommendation of many changes both in the laws and in the administration of the ollice with the view of assisting the Imhh- fide home steader while making it more dilli cult for those who sought to acquire I lands who are not entitled thereto. He favored a plan by which any eligible home steader could deposit the cost of a survev of any tract of land he might wish to homestead and have the same surveyed at once. The land once surveyed to lie ap praised by a commission appointed for that purjxise at a low figure and in case the first applicant was the only applicant for the land that he lie uiven it but in case there were others than that each upplican to I1 required to put up the cost of the survey and the coast of the expense of the appraising board and lots In drawn to determine the one to whom the laud should be awarded. All moneys paid in by each of the ap plicants to whom the land was not awarded to lie returned immediately to those who had failed to secure the land. This method would mean the spe-dy oiK-ning of Jill tracts of land that are now desired by jx-rsons who desired to acquire homesteads and by the drawing of lots would make it as easy for a ixior man to acquiri land as it would one of independent means.
