It would be a ripoff of Kamokila Campbell 's memory, of our natural resources and of the people of Waianae.\\n\\nDeveloper Horita and Campbell heirs are looking for cash profits for themselves. They have an excuse. It's JOBS- -jobs for our unemployed people in Ewa and Waianae.\\n\\nBut how can they talk of jobs when this project will help kill 700 sugar jobs on the leeward side? West Beach will also mean more competition for jobs by bringing nearly HALF A MILLION NEW PEOPLE into the area each year to fill 8,000 hotel rooms and 3,000 high priced condo units !\\n\\nAlso, any jobs for leeward people will be years in the future. The jobs will be temporary (construction), low pay, part-time and seasonal (tourist). And any new jobs will have to be shared with thousands of new neighbors. The unions say no job favoritism to Waianae residents!\\nOur population grows steadily. Most of it is from immigration promoted by developers. One result is that we have more unemployed now than ever before--34,700 in February! The housing crisis for low and middle income families is also worse than ever!\\n\\nStudies show that resort developments bring:\\n * Skyrocketing food prices, rents and land taxes!\\n * More rather than less competition for jobs and housing!\\n * Breakdown of the lifestyle we enjoy and need for survival!\\n\\nDO WE WANT ANOTHER WAIKIKI IN WAIANAE? More traffic? More hotels? More crowded beaches? Loss of our farmlands?\\n\\nPLEASE ATTEND THIS HEARING\\nAPRIL 12  9:30 A.M. ON SOTO ZEN TEMPLE WAIPAHU\\n\\nThe hearing will run all day and probably the following day, too. LET'S BE AWAKE! SHOW SUPPORT FOR GREENLAND! WEAR A TI LEAF ON YOUR WRIST, OR BRING A SIGN. MAHALO.\\n\\nWe asked the Land Use Commission for an evening hearing in Nanakuli They haven't let us know. For last minute info on a possible evening hearing at Nanakuli High School on Tuesday, April 12, call Marvin 668-7020, Judy 696-2331, Georgette 668-1829, Amu 696-7969, or Waianae Rap Center 696-4267, and stay tuned to KCCN, KKUA or KHVH.\\n\\n*For some Campbell Estate history, please see back, of this\\n_________________________________________________________________\\n * SOME CAMPBELL ESTATE HISTORY   *\\n\\nIn 1846, foreigners talked high chiefs of Hawaii into a giant ripoff scheme. They made a law that declared almost all (99.1%) lands to be the private property of the king and chiefs and government lands.\\n\\nLand could be sold under the new law -- for foreigners' dollars.\\nChiefs had little cash. Farmers and fishermen had none.\\n\\nA missionary - Gerritt Judd -- wrote the law for Kamehameha III. They called it the Mahele. It gave 2/3rds of all lands in Hawaii to the king and 245 high chiefs. The other 1/3rd became government land.\\nMost farmers lost the lands their ancestors had fanned for generations. They protested saying, \"We do not wish you to sell any more land in your kingdom to foreigners...We the common people of your kingdom hereby sign our names.\"*\\n\\nThe petition was signed by 1,600 farmers and fishermen.\\nUnder the Mahele, a high chief, Kekauonohi, got the 43,250 acres of Honouliuli lands of Ewa. Her husband's daughter, Mrs. William Coney, later sold it to James Campbell for about $300,000.\\n\\nCampbell was a clever bookkeeper for Pioneer Mill Co. on Maui. He formed a trust -- the Campbell Estate. The income goes to his heirs. One was Kamokila Campbell.\\n\\nThe result? Campbell Estate today is the second largest landowner on Oahu with over 50,000 acres.\\n\\nThe present heirs are descendants of high chiefs who sold out our Hawaiian farmers and fishermen 130 years ago. Still cash-hungry, these heirs want to build a second Honolulu city in Ewa of nearly 400,000 people! Most would be newcomers.\\n\\nThe total project includes the West Beach resort. Barbers Point deep-draft harbor, the industrial \"park\", West Oahu College, a yacht harbor, marina, shopping centers, golf courses and more. Crowded and expensive cities make big profits for landowners and developers.\\n\\nBut what happens to us workers and farmers who own little or no land? We get more unemployment, more congestion, more welfare, more competition for scarce jobs, and loss of lifestyle!\\n\\n*Source: The Friend August 1845, page 118."}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/canvas/p1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"191-1586medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35923/full/140%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35923","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2052,"height":2927,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/annotation/p0001-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35923/full/561%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2052,"height":2927,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35923","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/canvas/p1"}]},{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/canvas/p2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"191-1589medium.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35924/full/137%2C200/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35924","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":2017,"height":2934,"images":[{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/annotation/p0002-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35924/full/550%2C800/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2017,"height":2934,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif-img/35924","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://digital.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/iiif/31406/canvas/p2"}]}]}]}
