PUBLIC LANDS.
Wo heartily congratulate the Demo
crntlc. party In the gallant struggle
for such nmondments to tho Organic
. Art In refcrenco to public land laws
nn would be of some benefit nnd Jus
tlco to tho plain common pepplo. Wo
nro no loss proud of the Intelligence
displayed by tho peoplo In readily do
tectlng tho hyocrlsy so eloveWly con
cenled In tho land law amendments
pionmed by n Republican conference;
endorsed by a Republican legislature;
npptanded by tho Republican press;
Introduced by n Republican Delegate
nnd advocated by n Republican Gov
ernor, but so thoroughly repudiated
by congress and amended to such nn
extent that but llttlo of tho original
section ns proposed remained.
Tho evidence and arguments pro
i1icc by local Democrats before the
Houso Committee on tho Terrltoiles at
Washington, D. C, resulted In )cry
ninny changes In tho bill so ndvocntcd
by tho Republicans In Hawaii; the
moro Impoilnat of wlitc'l aro as fol
lows: .,
v. Kind "No such exchango shall'
bo mndo oxrept to ujcpilro lamlt '
directly for public uses."
Second "Whenever twenty
flvo or innio persons, having tho
fiuallflcatlons of homesteaders,
Miall mako written application to
tho couunlsslnncr of public lands
for- tho opening of agricultural
lands for settlement In any local
ity or district. It shall bo tho duty
of said commissioner to proceed
"" expeditiously to Mirvcy nnd open
for entry agilculturnl lands, etc"
Third "In luylng out nny
homestead tho commissioner of
public lands shall Include therein
nn iimount, not exceeding eighty
acres In area, sufficient to support
thereon nn ordinary family."
Fourth "All necessary ex
penses for surveying nnd opening
nny such lands for homesteads
nhall bo paid for out of any funds
of tho territorial treasury derived
' from tho sale leniy? of tho pub
lic lands, which funds urn hereby
'-mado n tillable for such pur
poses." Thoso principal amendments nnd
sundry others less Impoitnnt secured
polely by tho Democrats In behnlf of
tho common people, carry with tlicm
n practical niilllllcutlon of tho ex
chango and the iUUcn year lenso laws,
nnd compol tho commissioner to sur
vey a. leasonahlo amount of desirable
iigrlfultural lands nnd also pastoral
lands In vnilous parts of the Terri
tory for homestead purposes on or bo
foro January first. 1911, and uiinunlly

We oppose tho Immigration m,llcy
of the territorial government and as
sign tho following ns soma of tin
principal reasons therefor:
Klrst There Is no n surplus of
laborcis In this Territory, there being
only about .15,01)0 employed on the su
gnr plantations out of n total popula
Hon estimated tit from 180,000 to 190
000, but few of which nre other than
laborers. If at the expiration of two
years'frnm this time there is found to
be n shortage, of laborers and our cl
;lz.cns nro employed nt good wages
the Democratic party stands willing
and ready to withdraw tho objections
we now offer to assisted Immigration
Second Tho changed conditions
sough 'to be brought about by a more
liberal homestead law will Induce fnr
mers, to cultivate their own land, nnd
two years' will' offer a sufllclcnt oppor
tunlty for our public land officers to
make good their present professions
We believe that our public .lands
should first be offered to our citizens
and after they nro supplied, If nny
unoccupied agricultural land still re
mains the advantages of settling upon
it Bhnuld be thoroughly advertised In
newspapers devoted to agrlrultuie
published on tho mainland, to the end
that farmers who Intend to "tilt the
farms they own" may be Induced to
settle hero. Ilrlnglng to our Territory
large numbers of aliens, who must ne
cessarily compete with our citizens
not only ns to employment but occu
pancy of tho land ns well. Is n grnvi
Injustlco to both our present nnd pros
pecthe citizen population.
Therefore, wo fnvor the reenacb
meat- and continuation of tho Special
Income Tax law so amended as to
divert all such funds now on hand
us well ns nil funds to be derived
thetefrom to tho construction of holt
roads around the Islands, to bo ex
pended substantially In the ratio nf
collections of said tn In each county.
A liberal proportion to be expended In
tho construction of numerous home
stead roads so as to make all homo
stead lands mailable All of such
funds to bo exclusively nt the dis
posal of tho board of supervisors In
each county.
Wo Insist iiion n legislative Investl
gallon of nil funds already spent upon
Immigration and n detailed accounting
of tho snmo.
STATEHOOD FOR HAWAII.
All tho Territories on the mainland
having been ndmltted us States, tho
Territory of Hawaii stands next In
the line of promotion nnd the plat
form declarations of. tho National Do
mncrntlc Party has again and again
reiterated that It only fnvored tho ac
quisition of such territory ns should
ultimately bo admitted ns States In
the Union, therefore our only hopo
Mr jttatohooil lies with tho success of
tho Democratic party, Wo favor Im
mediate statehood for the Territory
of Hawaii and tho bright prospects
everywhere nppnrent for the election
of n Democratic majority Jn tho next
houso of representatives nt Washing
ton lends us to bclioro that the elec
Hon of n Democratic Delegate to Con
gress would hasten tho admission ol
Hawaii ns n State.
LIQUOR LEGISLATION.
Wo fully approve ot the prompt nnd
effectlvo action taken by tho Demo
cratic Territorial Central Committee
In passing resolutions relating to tho
Curtis Prohibition Hill whllo the
same was pending In congress. Said
resolutions, dated February 7, 1910,
aro as follows:
"Whereas, A laigo majority of tho
voters of theso Islands do not approve
of uny legislation being enacted for
the Territory of Hawaii not applica
ble to other Territories, believing the
electorate fully capablo of self govern
ment, nnd
"Whereas, Thcro Is now pending In
tha congress of the United States a
bill embodying special legislation to
piohlblt tho liquor trudlc In tho Terrl
tory of Hawaii, and
"Whereas, Tho electors of this Ter
ritory should bo permitted n olco In
determining said question, tbercrore

"Resolved, That tho congress of tho
United Stntes, In tho event of tho pas

requested to amend tho samo so that
Iho question may bo Biibmlttcd to a
icferendiini vote of the electors of the
Territory of Hawaii nt tho ensuing
general election A majority of all
the, votes rnBt at said election being
necessary for Its udoptlon"
Though tho question was not with
