n ovERNoR DOLE now expects to

v be absent in the States during
~ the visit which he will make. for
about two months. After his stop at
s Washington. and the completion OF the
business which takes him to the Cap
itaI. it is the plan OF the Governor to
make several visits to friends, going
as far East as Boston. While he has
set no date for his return. Governor
Dole does not expect that he will be
detained longer than two months. Mrs.
Dole will not accompany him.
The government is in excellent con-
ditfon in view of it's lean purse" said
the executive yesterday. But for the
storms which have caused such losses
in Hamakua and Kohala, with the
damage done at HiIo and in various
parts OF the Islands, our financial condi-
ton would be quite satisfactory, though
OF course we would have liked to car
ry through many improvements which
must be kept back for the present. We
now estimate that there will be funds
!. 10 carry on the work of the several de-
fartrnents well into the summer. and it
may be that we can go ahead without
the necessity OF having recourse to the
issuance of certificates until August.
There will be period OF perhaps three
months then until the reaIizations from
taxes relieve this condition
II can see now no reason for any
change in my belief that an extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature is not necessary.
The government has decided that GER
tain work can be carried through. and
thi. work can all be accomplished
without any serious drawbacks. I'm
provements which have been contem-
plated and which We would like to see
PUSHED along. have had to be set aside
for the present. and we are running
along on the plan devised to carry us
. through until appropriations by the
next Legislature are available.
The only Appropriation which will
not be sufficient to- carry through the
period IS that for the courts. The in !,
ordinate drafts upon 1t have exceeded
"A proportiOnate demand and IL does not
appear that IL Will be sufficient To last
through the two years. There Is no
other appropriation from which money 4
can be carried to the credit Of the
courts. The only way in which work
may be carried on is for the men who
are summoned to wait for their pay
until there Is a subsequent apprOpria-
ton made.
While there are others who could
tell you more of the state of politics
/ have given the subject some thought
and believe there will be some change
in the alignment when the next cleo
ton comes along. The leaders here in
Honolulu do not make the party. AZ
tsr the promises made two years ago
by the opposition leaders here, and
their lack of fulfilment in the Legisla-
. ture OF last year. they cannot but go
lintc the campaign this time with
fgreat loss OF prestige This will be felt
in the outside districts, perhaps more
than here.
II have been reported ordering
that public officials take no active part
in politics. This is hardly the case. L
called the attention OF one OF the heads
OF department to the position of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as 20 active participa-
tion in party organizations of men
whose offices make them conspicuous
public servants 1 have always held
that the men who are at the head of
departments are servants of the entire
people They should be in sympathy
with the executive. so that the govern
ment may move along to the accom-
plishment of its policy, which could not
be the case where there was a lack of
sympathy between the men at the head
OF affairs. This. however. lessons as
you go down the line of responsibility.
Il have no plans for my visit To
Washington. / have been summoned
there and shall go equipped to answer
any queries and to set forth the posi-
ton OF the government fully There
does not seem to be a great deal affect
ing Hawaii before the Congress at this
time. I am greatly interested in the
land question. but. OF course. there
does not seem to be any bills
