ISSUES OF TOMORROW'S j
BALLOTING SET FORTH
Clear-cut Record of Carter's Administration
Leaves Nothing Dubious for Intelligent and
Business-Minded Voters of Hawaii.
Editor Advertiser: Let-me thank
you for the opportunity that you have
offered for some remarks regarding the
duty to be exercised tomorrow by
every male citizen, namely, in the cast
ing of his ballot.
In but little more than two weeks
Governor Carter will have completed
the first year of his term as Governor
of Hawaii. In his inaugural address
the Governor said:
"I shall aim to give this Territory!
.an administration frugal in puDiic ex
penditure. ' "I intend to be scrupulously honest
in the payment of all Government
debts and obligations, thus preserving
our good faith and credit."
Economy was then demanded in
every branch of the Government, al
though at a time when business de
pression existed. The Territory's
revenues should always be large
enough, not only to meet its current
needs but also the principal and in
tarest of its public debt. But a defi
ciency was inevitable so long as the
expenditures of the Government ex
ceeded its receipts, and a deficiency can
only be met by. loans or by increased
revenue. . ,
TAXATIOX OR ECOXOMT.
In his Inaugural, Governor Carter
tad expressed the hope that he might
be able during hia term of office to
see taxation reduced throughout the
Territory. But he found that the situ
ation then- compelled either a reduction
In expenditures or an Increase in tax
ation. The Governor chose the former
course, meeting with the strongest
possible opposition from many quar
ters, but being ably supported by the
entire Legislature. What has been the
result?
th exDenditures of the former fiscal
year. Surely this is something worth j
thinking about that has been accom- j
plished by the present administration, j

during the closing days of 1903, $722,000

ion up to the close of last month,

THE SALARY QUESTION. J
Naturally, public sentiment was in j
many quarters wrought up against
lower incomes, but the more mature I
and sober second thought of the people j
has approved the Governor's action be- j
cause it has been shown that the worn
of the Territory is as well performed as
ever this year by the public servants,
and that in many instances the prun
ing knife could have been effectually
used at an earlier date. Dissatisfaction
was created at the maintenance of a
few individual salaries and for this
the Governor was blamed, but it is
my belief that he does riot know, even
at this date, the names of five per cent
of the Government employees whose
salaries were reduced. He went to the
heads of the departments, telling each
the amount that must be cut from their i
pay rolls and leaving them to handle
the details while he dealt only with
the totals.
Ihiring the campaign that closes to
day the charge has been made that
the present administration has per
formed absolutely nothing. The Re
publican party, to which Governor Car
ter belongs, could have afforded to
make its fight, and a winning one, upon
the single platform of a successful,
economic policy a platform that should

party is a party of promises, always
carrying a debt bearing standard;

j- union secured such prominence as Ha-
waii at the Republican National Con
vention held in Chicago last June? It
was done solely by Governor Carter
and will not have been forgotten wlien
the next .National Convention assem
bles. The placing of Hawaiian bonds at
par in the New York market was an
other act of his that, is without. prec

approval and success, inasmuch ad the

and peril, never results in failure and
dishonor.

This was done with one object in view,
an object that has been accomplished,
the betterment of the public service of

and the way is becoming clear toward
the establishment of small farms and
an increase in our rural population. It
were better first to make an hop est and
clean start before inviting settlers to
transact business with a department
that was a mass of scandal, corruption
and entanglements.
In close : connection with the land
office work has been the first perma
nent step 'toward, the preservation of
our forests and the distribution of the
abundant waters that have been going
to waste from the mountains of Ko
ha'.a, which should be of incalculable
benefit to agriculturists.
"While the exposure and punishment
of grafters and embezzlers and the un
earthing of dishonesty rnay not have
appealed to every individual in the
community, the result has been decid
edly wholesome. A system ls now in
force whereby any public official who
receives money, and cannot account for
every dollar of that money at a mo
ment's notice, will be promptly dismiss

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION.
Here in Honolulu the additions to
the asylum and Jail, improvements of
the parks, and work on the harbor are
distinct marks of progress. Besides
the people must appreciate a decided
strengthening in the personnel of the
Supreme Court, the highest Territorial
body to which all legal difficulties can
be appealed.
Increased city water supply and the
extension of sewerage systems are not
the least of the benefits that the people
have derived within the past j-ear to
say nothing of the betterment of our
roads especially at Kakaako and in th-
Portuguese settlement.
Efforts made by the Board of Health
to aid our unfortunate leper colony
should bring results that will cause the
year 1904 to be regarded as a distinct
stepping stone in Hawaii's humane and
praiseworthy undertakings.
