Roads. 
The  importance  of  good  roads  is  highly  necessary  and  self- 
evident.  The  Commission  recommends  that  either  a certain  per- 
centage (determined  by  the  Commissioner  of  Public  Lands  with 
the  approval  of  the  Governor)  of  the  territorial  revenues  derived 
from  the  sale  of  public  lands,  whether  or  not  the  lands  sold  are 
opened  for  settlement  as  now  provided  by  Act  99,  S.  L.  1905,  be 
set  aside,  or  that  specific  appropriations  be  passed  by  each  legis- 
lature, whichever  plan  may  be  deemed  the  more  advisable  accord- 
ing to  the  administration  of  the  finances  of  the  Territory  as  a 
special  fund,  for  the  specific  purpose  and  no  other,  of  constructing 
and  maintaining  homestead  roads,  that  is,  roads  within  the  home- 
steads, or  roads  leading  from  the  homesteads  to  the  public  roads 
of  the  Territory.  The  plan  and  procedure  outlined  in  Act  99  of 
S.  L.  1905,  is  approved.  However,  the  Commission  believes  that 
in  addition  to  the  present  legislation  there  should  be  funds  pro- 
vided for  homestead  roads  without  awaiting  for  or  relying  entirely 
upon  the  proceeds  from  the  sales  of  the  particular  lands  opened 
for  settlement  through  or  to  which  the  road  is  to  be  constructed. 
This  does  not  necessarily  imply  that  no  land  is  to  be  opened  for 
homestead  purposes  before  the  road  is  built  as  such  a provision 
might  lead  either  first,  to'  the  expenditure  of  large  sums  of  money 
without  adequate  benefit  to  any  considerable  number  of  people,  or, 
second,  a delay  in  the  opening  of  lands  for  settlement.  The  terms 
set  forth  in  the  present  law  (Act  99,  S.  L.  1905)  seem  to  properly 
provide  for  the  time  and  manner  of  constructing  such  roads. 
Government  Commission  Agent  and  Miscellaneous  Matters. 
To  encourage,  the  development  of  diversified  crops  and  partic- 
ularly the  produce  grown  by  the  small  settler,  the  Commission 
recommends  that  the  Government  establish  a general  commission 
agency  in  Honolulu  solely  for  the  purpose  of  handling  island 
grown  products.  A salaried  government  commission  agent 
should  be  appointed  to  conduct  exclusively  the  business  outlined. 
The  producer  should  be  charged  a small  commission  to  assist  in 
promoting  the  enterprise.  This  recommendation  may  be  deemed 
in  the  nature  of  an  experiment,  but  it  is  thought  that  it  is  worthy 
of  a trail. 
The  Commission  also  recommends  that  the  Legislature  make  a 
specific  appropriation  to  be  used  in  devising  ways  and  means  of 
exterminating  as  far  as  possible,  or  minimizing  the  effect  of  in- 
jurious pests  and  other  enemies  of  the  products  of  the  settler. 
Administration  of  Developed  Cultivated  Lands. 
The  main  object  in  the  administration  of  public  lands  is  to 
endeavor  to  open  3 first  for  settlement  those  lands  which  are  unde-
