Far Reaching Policy Announced by Land Board<br />
at First Meeting--Hereaft- er It Is Home-<br />
steader<br />
¬<br />
First Plantation After<br />
No government public land may lawfully under the provisions of tho<br />
land law amendments to tho Organic Act bo leased until after possible and<br />
prospective homesteaders and the public generally shall first have been notified<br />
that the land is available for homestcading No leases of public lands shall<br />
bo renewed until after similar opportunity sbnll havo been offered for homo<br />
steading This is mandatory upon tho land board<br />
The abovo interpretation of tho new land law amendments is tho bombshell<br />
which W A Kinney a member of the board threw into the land board<br />
yesterday afternoon at the lengthy meeting of tho newly created body of<br />
guardians of tho public domain and if his interpretation of tho law is accepted<br />
as tho correct ono tho entiro land policy of the Territory of Hawaii will<br />
nlmnirfiil tho Virmnfl homesteader will nrecedenco over the suffer VnluO tho to<br />
the ranchman and all tho other owners and lessees of land who tender is only tho will fotch<br />
purposes Because a<br />
want to buy leaso public - mnn wlu glv0 onljr Aoi Bcro ig<br />
omer woras too micni 01 as in me iana law umenu reason rerusing mm<br />
monts to the Organic Act is that the land belongs and should belong to tho<br />
people and tho homesteader should havo first preference Mr Kinnoy In his<br />
remarks at tho meeting of tho board tooktho ground thnt congress in passing<br />
tho law amendments has rebuked tho Territory of Hawaii for tho way<br />
in which tho land question in these Islands has been handled in tho past<br />
and serves notico on tho people of this Territory that in tho future thoro must<br />
bo a change in tho land policy and the man who wants to go upon tho land<br />
and make a home for himself and his family is tho man who mu9t bo preferred<br />
to tho man who wants to accumulate many acres<br />
A Now Era Publicity<br />
Tho meeting of tho land board yesterday was one of the most important<br />
of all the meetings that havo been held in this Territory in many years and<br />
its consequences may he more far reaching<br />
And the attitude of tho board marks a new era in the conduct of tho<br />
public business in Hawaii For it was definitely decided that so as tho<br />
land board is concerned there shall be no executive sessions Everything shall<br />
bo in the opon and general public shall at all times be permitted to Bo<br />
present and know what is being dono and what is contemplated In view of<br />
tho attitude of most other public and semi public institutions in this Territory<br />
this announced policy of tho new land board is almost revolutionary<br />
Not All Agreed<br />
Mr Kinneys opinion that tho new<br />
law allows the land board and the land<br />
commissioner no discretion whatever in<br />
regard to tho opening tip of land for<br />
homestcading whenever such opening<br />
shall bo demanded Iby twenty five ap-<br />
plicants<br />
¬<br />
land and that the claims<br />
of all lessees shall be considered sub-<br />
ordinate<br />
¬<br />
to to those of prospective<br />
homesteaders was not fully concurred<br />
in by some of thoso present Both<br />
IK A Thurston atodTchnlrman Alfred<br />
Carter Btated that in their opinion Mr<br />
Kinney was going too far in his inter-<br />
pretation<br />
¬<br />
of the law and that certainly<br />
some discretion should lie with the<br />
board Land Commissioner Marston<br />
Campbell also said that he was unable<br />
to see the matter tho same light<br />
as that in which Mr Kinney looked at<br />
it Ho feared that it would entail a<br />
groat amount of trouble and expense<br />
without in many cases producing the<br />
results expocted<br />
Mr Carter expressed tho opinion<br />
that while the rights of the home-<br />
steader<br />
¬<br />
should bo amply protected by<br />
tho board still it should not bo forgot ¬<br />
ten that tho lessee has somo rights too<br />
A lessee whoso leaso is about to ex ¬<br />
pire has tho right to Ibe informed in<br />
a reasonable time as to whother or not<br />
tho-- lease will ha renewed<br />
May Be No Kapaa Deal<br />
If W A Kinneys interpretation of<br />
the law is adopted Iby the land board<br />
it may result in the falling through of<br />
tho Kapaa deal the contemplated<br />
leases which aro provided for in the<br />
agreement betwoen tho McBrydo Sugar<br />
Company and tho government may bo<br />
killed through the requirement that<br />
nothing along that line be done for a<br />
year nt until after prospective<br />
and possiblo homesteaders shall first<br />
have been given to de ¬<br />
clare whether not they want the<br />
government land or any of it which<br />
it is proposed leaso to the planta-<br />
tion<br />
¬<br />
It was tho matter of the proposed<br />
Kapaa leases and water rights which<br />
brought about the momentous discus ¬<br />
sion And although the members of<br />
the board constantly reverted to these<br />
proposed transactions upon which they<br />
had boen called by the land commis ¬<br />
sioner to pass the effect of tho dis-<br />
cussion<br />
¬<br />
reaches fnr beyond tho partic ¬<br />
ular mattes of the Kapaa lands and<br />
nffeets tho general land policy of the<br />
Territory<br />
Mr Thurston who was present in<br />
tho interest of the Kapaa deal ex ¬<br />
plained to the members of the board<br />
with 41a M nt n mi Hin Inv fit<br />
land and tho possibilities of bringing<br />
water upon it After some consider<br />
able discussion Mr Kinney proposed<br />
that action be for the Tea<br />
sous abovo cited in order to give pos-<br />
sible homeateadora the first cboneo<br />
at the land Suppose he said<br />
that thirty days after yon have let<br />
this lease twenty five men step Jn with<br />
a petition to bo allowed to take up<br />
homteadl what aro you going to<br />
A 1 You would hv to give vsry<br />
substantial reasons for thwarting hat<br />
demand<br />
Mr Kinney went on lo My that nil<br />

provision in lbs Organic Act amend<br />

that isnt subject to that demand<br />
Possibilities of Kapaa<br />
Tho commission discussed at length<br />
tho physical possibilities of tho land and<br />
tho chances of getting water upon it<br />
for homesteaders or others Mr Thurs<br />
ton asked Land Commissioner Camp<br />
bell whether or not the latter had any<br />
fund which might be used to mako<br />
water available on land Mt Camp-<br />
bell<br />
¬<br />
said that it was a question of<br />
the interpretation of the law Under<br />
certain circumstances it might too posi<br />
sible to hiive n big reclamation fund<br />
but just at present there is nothing at<br />
all Tho discussion came back again to<br />
tho question of whether or not tho<br />
knd should be leased to tho plantation<br />
and once more Mr Kinnoy stood<br />
ground reiterating his statement that<br />
board has no discretion but must<br />
first offer land to possible homo<br />
steadcrs It seems to me ho said<br />
that if the government starts out<br />
withholding this land and twenty five<br />
determined men start in they can<br />
surelv corner us That net nnd all its<br />
amendments seem to be along the lino<br />
that the land shall be given up on do-<br />
er and<br />
Tho question of the availability of<br />
the mauka and makai Kapaa lots for<br />
homesteadinc purposes was discussed<br />
and Mr Campbell expressed confidence<br />
that every one of the mauka lots would<br />
be disposed of to homesteaders if the<br />
lower lands were leased to tho pianta<br />
tion thus giving a market to tho home<br />
steaders<br />
Why not offer the makai lotsT<br />
asked Kinney call their hand on<br />
that<br />
Campbell explained that the Portu<br />
guese want tho mauka lots not the<br />
makai<br />
Mr Campbell stated emphatically<br />
that what he wants is to get tho sot<br />
tiers the lands Judgo Andrado in<br />
quired hoW much land there is in Ka<br />
paa capable of irrigation and Camp<br />
boll stated thnt there is about 1500<br />
acres<br />
Qo Ahead<br />
Again tho discussion camo back to<br />
the question of delaying the lease<br />
as to give homesteaders a chance at<br />
tho lands before they aro leased to<br />
thg plantation Campbell objected that<br />
such a procedure wonld mean a delay<br />
of etoout a year as the lands must first<br />
be surveyed and cut up into homestead<br />
lots and then advertised for sixty days<br />
Mr Kinney suggested that that be<br />
ing the case the best thing for Mr<br />
Campbell to do would too to go ahead<br />
and survey tbo land and cut it up<br />
The members of the board and tho<br />
land commissioner agreed that it would<br />
not be wiso to sell the Kapaa lands<br />
with water ns keeping the water sopa<br />
rato from the land is about tho only<br />
protection tho government has from dis<br />
ingenuous homesteaders<br />
Campbells Views<br />
Land Commissioner Campbell ex ¬<br />
pressed tho strong belief that the lease<br />
of the Kapaa lands would really In the<br />
end old tho bomcstoadlng of the lands<br />
on account of the fact that under tho<br />
terms of tho lease the lesseo is requir ¬<br />
ed to construct expensive reservoirs<br />
and other Improvements which la the<br />
end revert to the goverament I<br />
cont help but feel ho ssld that<br />
tho homestead sebems of Stapes is go<br />
ing to be more sided by tho construc<br />
tion of theM work than by saying that<br />
wo wont lease these lands hut will<br />
hold them open for homesteads<br />

HAWAIIAN GAZETTE FRIDAY JUNE 17 110 -S- EMI-WEEKLY<br />
this lair for holding thoso lands out<br />
Tiie matter of a possible visit 01 tne<br />
commission ta Kapaa having been sug ¬<br />
gested by Mr Thurston Innd Commis<br />
sioner Campbell stated that although<br />
no is mado In the law for<br />
paying the expenses of the commission<br />
yet they trill bo paid either out of the<br />
funds or tho land commissioners otucc<br />
or out of tho Governors contingent<br />
fund<br />
Settlers Not Honey Wanted<br />
Mr Campbell was asked tho upset<br />
prices nt which the mauka Kapaa lands<br />
were formerly offered Ho replied that<br />
tho first prico was 30 an acre and<br />
this wax afterward cut to 25 Kinney<br />
and Trent both expressed surprise at<br />
tho lzo of the figures tho former stat-<br />
ing<br />
¬<br />
that equally as good land in tho<br />
Kalnhco district can be had at from<br />
150 to 3 an aero Cnmpboll said<br />
that on one occasion ho put Kapaa<br />
lots ui at auction at low as 12 an<br />
aero hut tho Portuguese hid them up<br />
to 600<br />
Yes said Kinnoy and a orucl<br />
thing wns done thereby I say that<br />
with tho conditions imposed on the<br />
homestendor tho cash value of tho land<br />
Is very low<br />
Again Kinnov camo back to his orig<br />
inal proposition The presumption<br />
ho said is that all tho lands aro In<br />
tho homestead class and strong reasons<br />
must exist for withholding them from<br />
that use t<br />
Wouldnt tho public demand that<br />
wo use discretion Campbell wanted<br />
to know<br />
Discretion Narrow<br />

isnt worth much now Tho cash mar- -<br />

but ono dollar an aero but is otherwlso<br />
ready and willing to carry out all tho<br />
conditions imposod tho homstoader is<br />
tha ono who should get tho land<br />
Tho Art thing to do Kinney con-<br />
tinued<br />
¬<br />
is to present a palatable propo<br />
sition cut up your land lay out your<br />
runus ouer ino nomesieauor someinmg<br />
Youve got tho monoy to do all that<br />
County Should Handlo Water<br />
In regard to getting water on tho<br />
Kapaa lands Kinney was atrongly of<br />
tho opinion that that should bo left to<br />
tho county of Kauai Campbell could<br />
not see this<br />
Campbell again insisted that to his<br />
mind tho leasing of this land would bo<br />
tho best move tho board could mako to ¬<br />
ward settling tho land finally with home<br />
steaders<br />
Thats a long rango action ob-<br />
jected<br />
¬<br />
Kinney and this act contem-<br />
plates putting tho homesteaders on the<br />
land at onco nnd under the most favor-<br />
able<br />
¬<br />
conditions He expressed the<br />
opinion that it would bo easy to get<br />
tha water on tho land<br />
Campbell objected that it would not<br />
bo easy We have tho water he<br />
said but tho expense of getting it<br />
on tho land will bo considerable<br />
25000 to 30000 I wouldnt want<br />
any homesteader to feel that becauso<br />
tho lands there and tho waters thero<br />
its land with water on it<br />
Chairman Carter couldnt ses that the<br />
expense of getting the water onto the<br />
land was at nil to bo compared to the<br />
value of getting tho land sottlod Its<br />
a mcro bagatelle ho said compared<br />
with tho valuo of tho 3500 acres<br />
Kinnoy onco more exprcsed the beliof<br />
that tho wator question should bo left<br />
to tho Kauai supervisors Tho county<br />
government is the ono to handle that<br />
ho said because it is in continual ses-<br />
sion<br />
¬<br />
Tho board of supervisors is re-<br />
sponsive<br />
¬<br />
to tho wishes of the commu-<br />
nity<br />
¬<br />
and thev havo the power by this<br />
now act to borrow monoy If tho water<br />
works aro left to tho ountios tho to<br />
sults will como more quickly Turn tho<br />
lands over to tho people nnd the water<br />
over to tne counties ana tuey win con<br />
noct up all right<br />
Delay Might Help<br />
Thurston expressed the opinion that<br />
Kinneys construction of tho law in<br />
rogard to tbo discretion or tbo board<br />
was tho oxtremest possible Ho thought<br />
that dolay would bo better if by delay<br />
things can bo dono to get as many peo<br />
plo on the- land as posiblc Delay of<br />
course should not be simply a subter-<br />
fuge<br />
¬<br />
to lock tho lands up<br />
Thurston thought thot the commis-<br />
sioners<br />
¬<br />
or at least some of them ought<br />
to go to Kapaa and look tho ground<br />
over for themselves The lay of tho<br />
land ho said is not as simple as it<br />
looks on tho map Engineering would<br />
bo necessary to make the water avail-<br />
able<br />
¬<br />
A good deal ho said dopends<br />
upon Knowieago or tuc 10cm conditions<br />
This matter is a very considerable thing<br />
to the plantation and it moans even<br />
more to tho people of that district Tho<br />
fact that tho plantation had gono down<br />
the past threo years has reacted on ina<br />
taxes of tho district I would like to<br />
see somo of tho commissioners gc on<br />
tho ground so thoy can net in tho spirit<br />
as wen as uccuruiu vu mo iuiiui ui uu<br />
law I doubt if tho discretion of this<br />
commission is so narrowed down that it<br />
is neccsary to go off half cocked at tho<br />
invitation of any twenty fivo persons<br />
Ho was Of tbo opinion that no final<br />
docislon in tne matter snouia do mnao<br />
until tho commissioners knew raoro<br />
about it Homesteaders First<br />
Kinney stated that ho is going away<br />
next week for several months and will<br />
not bo ahlo to voto on tho final issue<br />
But he Insisted I dont think<br />
tho land should bo leased until nftor<br />
it bos been definitely offered for homo<br />
stoading And I dont think this<br />
should lncludo agricultural land alono<br />
but all public land including pastoral<br />
land such as the Carnwell land on<br />
Maul I dont seo why It should not<br />
bo shown that all land brought beforo<br />
this board to bo leased lias been defi<br />
nitely offered for homestcading<br />
These applications for leases havo<br />
all accumulated under conditions that<br />
no longer exist Tbo land laws havo<br />
been changed I dont seo anything<br />
unfair la requiring that all lands be<br />
put through that test Then weve got<br />
something to tie to<br />
What would you suggest for<br />
timet naked Drown<br />
I dont behove In a ahqt time<br />
replied Kinney In Kapao for In<br />
twice a year Is not too much Mirny<br />
people sro afraid to spesk<br />
theyre afraid theyre not wantud on<br />
the land If plantation want Mod<br />
nnd md eund ff tar Iblrt toty r<br />
ninety days Anyhejy who wil<br />
r<br />
thnt land nobody olso has any chsneo<br />
to get it x dont think that would<br />
bo right Tho executive branch of<br />
tho government ought to be satisfied to<br />
have full and fair opportunity offered<br />
for homestcading<br />
Every man who can got twenty<br />
four others with him has a fixed and<br />
absoluto right to agricultural land<br />
Thoro s absolutely no discretion on<br />
thnt point Then tho question comes<br />
up what landt and thoro s whoro tha<br />
discretion of tho executivo comes in<br />
And Kinney read from tho Organic Act<br />
amendments<br />
Whenever twenty fivo or moro<br />
persons having tho qualifications<br />
of homosteaders who havo not<br />
thcrctoforo mndo application un ¬<br />
der this Act shall mako written<br />
application to tho commissioner of<br />
public lnnds for tho oponlng of<br />
agricultural lands for settlement In<br />
any locality or district it shall be<br />
the duty of said commissioner to<br />
proceed expeditiously to survey<br />
and opon for entry agricultural<br />
lands whother unoccupied or un ¬<br />
der leaso with tho right of with<br />
drawal sufficient in area to pro<br />
vide homesteads for all such per ¬<br />
sons together with all persons of<br />
liko qualifications who shall havo<br />
filedfwlth such commissioner prior<br />
to the survey of such lands writ-<br />
ten<br />
¬<br />
applications for homostcads in<br />
the district designated in said ap-<br />
plications<br />
¬<br />
Tho lands to bo so<br />
oponcd for sottlcmont by said com-<br />
missioner shall bo clthor tho spe<br />

¬<br />
Plantations Hostllo<br />
Iboliove said Chairman Cartor<br />
that this act was passed for tho pur-<br />
pose<br />
¬<br />
of assisting tho sottlcmont of tho<br />
land with small homesteaders I bo<br />
liovo that in tho past tho plantations<br />
with somo exceptions havo bcon hostilo<br />
to almost cvory homosteading proposi-<br />
tion<br />
¬<br />
nnd congross has got tired of it<br />
and has determined that tho land shall<br />
go to the peoplo<br />
On tho othor hand it would bo fool<br />
ish to divide up land unsultod for homo-<br />
steaders<br />
¬<br />
It would bo foolish to sub<br />
divide waste lands And so far as<br />
notico is concernod every man in this<br />
iorritory has already been notinod<br />
Campbell said ho thought tho work<br />
of his office would bo expedited if it<br />
wero admitted that tbo land commis<br />
slonor has somo slight discretion<br />
Tho Final Test<br />
The final test said Kinney<br />
should bo in tho yes or no of tho peo ¬<br />
ple as to whothor or not thoy want tho<br />
land This board should not havo to<br />
assume tho responsibility of guessing<br />
whether any given land wanted bo<br />
homestcading or not<br />
Brown suggested a new point of view<br />
Tho law ho said contemplates<br />
leasing as well as homcsteadlng and<br />
thoro is justico called for in tho case<br />
of tha lessees A man might havo a<br />
leaso of land obviously not suited for<br />
homesteads and it might bo essential<br />
for him to know promptly what bis<br />
status is Thero ought to bo tho least<br />
possiblo intorforencc and dolay should<br />
not bo longor than is necessary The<br />
situation ought to be reasonably con-<br />
sidered<br />
¬<br />
and somo discretion used as to<br />
whothor or not thero is any hopo of the<br />
land being wanted for homesteads<br />
Hawaii Bobuked<br />
Youll get Into quicksands ro<br />
piled Kinney if anything short of an<br />
actual public offer of any given land for<br />
homosteading is going to servo for no-<br />
tice<br />
¬<br />
Sometimes thoroll bo a barren<br />
result but youve got to take that<br />
chance rather than err along tho linos<br />
of this act that is practically a rebuke<br />
to tho peoplo of this Territory<br />
Campbell suggested that it would bo<br />
an oxccllont plan whenever application<br />
is mado for tho renewal of a liconse to<br />
puuh notico or it in tbo papers so<br />
that all parsons Interested including<br />
possiblo homestcadors may know what<br />
is going to bo dono This plan was<br />
warmly approved by tho commissioners<br />
In the end no decision was reached in<br />
regard to tho Kapaa leases and tha<br />
commissioners adjourned to moot again<br />
at ton oclock this morning<br />
