While Mr.. Lodge confined himself to a
discussion of the proposed tax on cor

urging that such a tax should not be
imposed, Mr.. Chiffon and Mr.. Tur1ey
covered pretty fully the general fea-
lures of the bill. Their speeches dealt
conlpr ehensiVelyxwith the theories OF
taxation and were, therefore, in the
very nature of things legal and techni-

action Of any kind was taken upon the

THAT REPORT.

We have before us the report OF
the House Committee on Public
Works, which has caused the editor
Of the Advertiser 80 much wailing
and gnashing Of teeth, and raving
in vituperative language. The re-
port, which is very exhaustive, has
been signed by four members of the
committee, while a peculiar min
ority report is offered by Rep. Isen-
berg, who simply says that he does
not think Mr.. Rowell, the Superin-
tendent of Public Works, has been
fairly treated. Why the honorable
member doesn't think SO he does
not state, and we are left in the dark
in regard to where the alleged I'M
fairness comes in.

Major Frank M. Foote of the First
Wyomings is man Of mark in his
state, and close friend of President
Mckinley. Formerly Colonel of the
First Kings Company Volunteers,
he has been Probate Judge and
County Treasurer, and held many
public offices OF trust and import
ance. He is 33rd Degree Mason,
Grand Commander of Wyoming
Knights Templar and correspond
ingly prominent in Oddfellowship
and kindred societies. The pleasing
presence and frank demeanor of the
man make him worthy OF the honors
which sit so comfortably upon him.

We believe that all efforts should
be made to smooth over the ill-feel-
ing which exists between the Ha-
waiians and those Foreigners who
took part in the stealing Of the
islands in 1893 Should annexation
come, and Hawaii be admitted as a
territory, it would be we'll for the
men who persist in grinding down
the Hawaiians to find friends in
stead of foes in their ranks. Should
Hawaii ever become territory, the
Hawaiians will have a great deal to
say politically, and it will then be
with ballots not bullets that they
will down the men who now refuse
to hold out the hand OF friendship
ia them. Remember the Mission
aries" will be their cry, and all who
lost their Independence, their coun-
try, their very nationality will re-
spond and rally at the ballot box.

THE POLITICAL PRISONERS.

1t vas a great surprise that the
Senate should decline to concur IN
the Joint resolution passed in the
House in which an expression was
given that it is the sense Of the Leg
islature that full unconditional
pardon should be granted to those
who took part in the farce OF 1896
and who are at liberty on parole.

The Legislature is about to ad-
journ without passing the law re-
pealing the vile penal contract law.
The bill was alone introduced to raise
an annexation sentiment in the
United States, and then was smoth-

The Joint resolution which was
introduced by Rep. Loebenstein,
who during the session has proven
himself warm friend of the Ha-
waiians, would not have the effect,
even if adopted in both Houses, to
grant an unconditional pardon to
the political prisoners. We are we'll
aware that the power of pardoning
is vested in the Executive and the
Council OF State, and that the pro-
position for pardon must emanate
from the Executive, but it is reason
able to believe that an expression Of
the Legislature would have con-
siderable weight with the President
and his advisers. The Attorney.
General says that he is willing to
recommend full pardon to those
political prisoners who will sub
scribe an oath of allegiance to the
Hawaiian Republic. Mr.. Smith also
says that annexation is a sure thing.
If SO why bother about an oath to a
republic which will cease to exist.
After annexation there will be no
necessity for any oath except that
of allegiance to the United States
as far as Hawaiians are concerned.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-07-06

reason for the change is the pro-
found hope that the American
ballot will down the family compact
oligarchy and make us once more
free citizens with representation.

Mr.. Rowell has had very full
and exhaustive hearing by the COM
mittee and was given all possible
chances to explain matters and de-
fend his official actions and me-
thods. The Advertiser takes the
same view as Mr.. Isenberg and in
stead of stating in what the unfair
ness" consists, it confines itself to
throwing mud at the members of
the committee and covering them
with venomous abuse. A careful
perusal OF the evidence presented in
the report and Mr.. Rowell's own
statements will prove to any fair
man that the conclusions of the
committee are correct, and that Mr..
Rowell is unfit to hold the position
occupied by him.

1t would be graceful act of the
Executive and Council of State to

In the Fire Station matter, which
created much talk aud comments at
the time Of the granting of the con-
tract, Mr.. Rowell states that he gave
the contract to Arthur Harrison be-
cause he considered him the best man
and yet he admits that there were
four bids lower than A. Harrison's,
and that the Government virtually
paid about $1,000 more for the work
than it would have done if the
lowest bid OF e. B. Thomas had
been accepted. When asked why
he did not grant the contract to
Thomas he answers that he does not
consider him reliable and that he
has done some poor work. The
next lowest bidder was Bowler. He
also according to Mr.. RowelPs ideas is
unreliable and litigitous man. f.

we're also lower than A. Harrison's,
is also supposed to be unreliable,

believe that the four men mentioned
are unreliable" AS the taxpayers
have paid $4,000 for Mr.. Rowell's
"idea" they are certainly entitled to
an explanation. Mr.. Rowell's "ideas"
are very costly, fact which can be
seen on every page Of the report.
The Advertiser has stated tri-
umphantly that it was not Rowell
at all who gave out the contract for
the Fire Station but that it was the
Executive Council, Mr.. Rowell
himself tells the committee, how
ever, that he granted the contract
to Arthur Harrison although there
were four lower bids, and Rowell
presumably knows what he did, or
is it simply another "idea" of his.
