keep up at $4,000 month, and oil
this about 5000 a month goes to
the support of a lot of idle men |
without families engaged in no re-
productive work for the country.
Under the monarchy the military ex-
penditure was a little over 5000 a
month. The secret police on Oahu
alone have used up over S25,OOO eA-
ira to what was allotted the whole
police force under the bad unstable
government of the monarchy. The
public debt has increased in the
thirteen months some S4OO,OOO and
no one can point out any permanent
Improvement to show for it.
Much more might be said il neces-
sary on the governmental expendi-
ture. Let us now look at the condi-
ton of the people. II is true we
have some sixty or SO new laws
which nobody seems to know or care
much about, however, while the re-
suit of the administration of the po-
lice department seems to be that
people are arrested and deprived oil
their liberty on such limsy pretexts
that when brought before the courts
. the government haven't the face to
90 on with the cases and enter a
mol. pros, or If they do proceed the
courts acquit the accused. So great
a scandal has this become that it is
the fashion on the government side
To insiuuate that the juries, foreign
and native alike, are prejudiced ii
not pcrjured.
Now for business. Ask any man
in business or connected with any
business house, what the result oI
