tory from IIh locution Iiuh a peculiar Importune n In dm National
welfare anil defence. It Ih ngilci'lturnl anil now ilcvotcil prac
tically tn oiin industry sugar.
The pioipcrlly of tlio sugar InilUKtry, nml lieiico of tliu
Territory, rests on tlio unstable basis of a l-'edcr.-il protective
tariff and a migratory alien labor class composed mainly of
Orientals, t
Tlicio Ik a conspicuous lack of tlio body of citizenship
which haH made possible the existence of thn Anierlenn com
monwealth, namely: the "plain people," propetty owners of
moderate menus, with thrift, energy, ami high civic Ideals.
The climatic conditions nml natural icsoiirrcs am highly
favorable to the Invi c-iiho of dlvorslllcd agriculture ami to the
building up of a chits of Independent small farms needed for
natural grow lb nml defense.
The ni Uncial conditions those, of human control nwlnl
ami otherwise, mnli as arrive from the presence of a preponder
ance of Orientals, are not now favorable to tlio success of this
class.
It Is possible hy wiser iibo of naturnl lo'ources ami broad
er statesmanship to remove many obstacles ami to stlmulato the
liiciease of property-owning eltlzci.s.
This is being done. In part by the Territorial (iovcrnincnt
utilizing Its public lands as far ns practicable for homesteads,
hut, being done In a small way, It Is not bringing to the Tor
i Itin y the ilasa of citizens who arc bulbllng up other Tcrrllo

the i-'edcrul (iovernnient, a Is done elsewhere under the. terms
of the Act of Juno 17, 11(02, would attract this class of small
farmers ami stimulate diversified agricultural Industries an no

This Is the summary of tlio report

Sixth Day Morning Session
Never In the history of lawmaking
in the Territory of llawnll litis Ilia
House of Representatives been so do
void of sensational features as Is the
House of tlio Fifth Legislature. It
Is work, work, work, from tlio tlm.i
thn gavel of the Speaker falls at 0
o'clock In the morning until adjourn
ment for tlio day is taken in tlio nft
urnoon and even after that the com
inltlces nro busy trying to digest tlio
flood of hills nml resolutions that lias
been presented.
I'arnlysls of tlio lingual muscles
appears to havo struck tlio orators of
tho House. Those disciples of Demos
thenes who nt previous sessions hnvo
lulled tlio roof and mailo tho girders
wrllho wllh tho volume, of their eln

a road or a school houso or Jail for

the oralor of tho campaign, has niado
no speech that lasted longer thnn
five minutes, Kalclopu's hursts of

today was shorter than usual, ending

day of provlous Legislatures, Tho
Hood of hills and resolutions that lias
characterized all tho early part of
this session Is unabated. No dila
tory tactics aro Indulged In; every
thing Is business and rush.
Somewhat of a stir was caused
when It wns whispered around that
tlio Secretary of tho Territory hnd
received a cahlo from tho Treasury
Department at Washington inform

appropriation for tho expenses of tlio
