THE OARflKN ISLAND, TUESDAY. JUNK 30, 1914 THE RIM OF THE POLITICAL POT Just a Uttle Fun With The Bees In Various Bonnets We were waiting at the post office corner in Lihue for o machine to take us to Waimca and Kekaha when lion. J. H. Coney, veteran of the House of Representatives, came up. Our automobile had just w'.iizzed around the corner below the Fairview, time was limited and thure were many places to visit during the afternoon; but the Le gislative war - horse wanted to say something. "I am Koina 0 run for the S.nate this time," he began. "Here I have put in some of the b st vears of my life in the House, and I think I am entitled to a seat higher up. My friends all tell me that I have done good work in the House. Well, I have done my best; and it seems to me that I have earned a nomination to the Senate. If elected to the Senate. I will give to Kauai" But we were in a hurrv and could not wait to hear the good things that would happen to Ka il ti in case he were elected. Speed in x along t o Koloa, w e found J imes K. Kula cranking u p a machine that had gone dead near t'.i2 old mill. The other machine moved off and he signalled us to stop. "You see", he began, "there's nothing like being able to-give 'first aid' in a time like that. There are four voters in that machine that j ist left here, and I happened to hi lohnny - on - the - spot to help them ut in their pilikia. What f r? Why, haven't you lieard? It's the House of Representatives for in sure, kela! My friends all tell me that I have the nomination sewed up. But I've got to work. I can eihtlAtthesauiji.liuie I a n not worrying, iu fact I am so certain of election that I have al: ready mapped out a part of mv plana in the Legislature. Some of the bills I intend to introduce have a'ready been drawn up. Here is one that everybody on Kauai will approve of. It reads as follows: Section 1" But we were in such a hurry th it we could not wait to hear it, however ' 'much we would like to h:"e ' done so. Hurrying along uitil the Lawai cannery hove in HUM,, we saw a man signalling the michlne to stop. It proved to be W. D. McBryde. "I just wanted to say that, tak ing it all in all, and considering our difficulties, I think the Board of Supervisors have been doing p etty well by the voters. - Don't you? But I think we can do better. Doii'.t you? I think I had better stay with the Board of Supervis ors. Don't you? Yes, I thought you did. Well, now, I'll tell you: I h've. been urged to run for the , Le.-;'islatw.re-,,-n.!id I appreciate the coiMideration of my friends. But I re. illy feel that I can be of greaU-r service to the island of Kauai as a supervisor. Don't yQii? So I've de cided to stay where I am - that is, if my friends will let me, and I tlrnk they will. I feel that our wo: k on this island has only just b-:un. Things are pretty well mapped out now for the balance of the term of the present board; but thi re will be a whole lot for the next board to do. I have prepared a list ot the. important., things we .should take up next term, and I w.r, read it to you. The first item (which I regard of the utmost im portance) is as follows,-- 'it we were in such a hurry tli.il we could not wait. On the hiil at Kalaheo We met a man in a I.! .'..'. He got out, signalled the machine to stop and we recognized John de Cambra. " Iy friends have been bother ing the life out of me to run for the Legislature," he began, "and I doi't know just what to say. Wh it do you think? Yes; you want me to 'go to if, eh Well, I think Continued ou page 3 MADAME VAN" RAITAUD.

The Governor said: 'In my judgment it has been a j take and a waste of individual!' m money and effort, as well as gov ernment money, to open up lands for hoinesteading before roads wei'e provided There has been little coordination between the depart ments concerned. It. is a question as to how far homesteaders are justified in demanding, the public shall tax itself for llieni in opening up inaccessible tracts and provid ing roads thereto. "An instance to the point has arisen on Hawaii , where the home steading of 850 acres of land is de manded. At present the cane is fl timed down to the mill and no road is required. This land i-s valued for homesleadimr at about $4625. The estimates of cost of a suitable road for -.this tract range from $12,000 to S20,(X0. "I give this as one of many' in stances where the public may be obliged to provide for roads cost ing more money than the 'value of the land.- Where the land values and road cost practically balance, there is little question as to the duty i f the Territory. Where they do not, the public should require a definite road policy to be establish-- ed. "Were roads constructed before homesteads were sold in the tract opened up, the cost could be in cluded in the price of the home steads. This matter should' re ceive the attention of the legisla ture." Roads Damaged The very heav rains it) the IIa- nalei section last week did comid- ! erable damage to the roads, and set back quite a good deal the i work which had been in progress for some time.

N:el Deerr having recently severed his connection with the Fx perimeiit Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, has been offered and has accepted a post under the Cuban Government in connection with the sugar in dustry of that island. It has been known for some little time that President Menocal had secured Mr. Deerr's services but the earlier rumor that he had been appointed Director at the Experiment Station at Santiago de las Vegas has prov ed erroneous, as his particular post is one cjuito independent of the Sugar Experiment Station, and he is elTieially styled expert in Sugar cane agriculture and manufacture to the Cuban Government. This, we take it, implies that Mr. Deerr will exercise a supervision over all the sugar interests, agricultural and manufacturing, in Cuba, and will advise the Government as to any steps to take to further the in- tcresis of the :uig;.r producing com munity in general. Apart from that, we have little doubt that. subiect to tiie approval of his superiors, he will be at the service o 1 any particular establishment which may ban pen ts require the assistance of tin expert to solve any important difficulty. We must congratulate in the first place the Cuban president on hav ing the felicity to secure so well known an expert in sugar techno logy with a view to raising the Cuban sugar industry to a higher scientific standard; and secondly, Mr. Deerr on nis acquisition ot a position which we doubt not will prove particularly congenial to him and offer every scope for the em ployment of the very considerable amount of experience he has accu initiated in Hawaii and before that in Mauritius and Demerara.
