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 />

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 />

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 />

Your discretion is very 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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
