the Executive and Legislative
branches of the government.
Reduction Of Salaries.
We declare against the method
and means Used recently by the tx
ecutive of the Territory to re-adlust
its finances, and cut down its ex-
penditures.
Such retrenchment was brought
about by cutting down the salaries
of employees beyond the living
point, and by dismissing other EN-
ployees to the detriment of the
public service; whereas,
Tax Incomes of the Wealthy.
We believe and declare that the
depleted condition of the Territorial
Treasury would have been more
Justly met by taxation upon wealth /;
and in this connection we believe
and declare that an increase in the
rate of the income tax would have
been more fair and courageous and
more democratic than the method
adopted.
In connection with the retrench-
ment policy in question we particu-
larly condemn the discrimination
exercised against the non-voting
employees of the government in the
cutting of salaries.
National Legislation Neglected.
We dcnouncc the policy of the
Republican party in the National
Congress whereby private Hawaiian
legislation was submitted in COM
mittce and received attention in adj
vance of pressing public matter,
with the result that after the pass
age of private bills the remaining

Republican Party for its duplicity
and breach of faith with the voters
of this Territory in the miscarriage
of that partys measure for County
government, passed by the last Leg
islature, and pledge Our earnest eff
fort to secure the passage and en-
actment of a County law providing
for complete local self-government.
Loan Fund Expenditures.
We deplore the present distress
ed financial condition of the Terri
tory, brought about by the Repub-
lican element in part, by withhold
ing from circulation large sums of
"loan fund" moneys that might
heretofore have been made available
had the departments used due dill
gence in prosecuting the several
works comprised in loan fund APP
preparations;
Warrants in Place of Cash.
And in extravagant administra-
ton, resulting in the issuance of
government warrants to employees
and supply men, preposterous
course whereby the taxpayers are
being daily mulcted in the amount
of interest paid on unproductive
loans on the one hand and the loss
incidental to discounting warrants
on the other.
Productive Works only.
In this connection we favor the
policy of making loan appropria-
tons for productive works only and
within these restrictions advocate d
comprehensive system of public
works throughout the Territory,
To Revise Tax Laws.
We pledge our candidates to the
Legislature to a revision of our Tax
Laws;
An adjustment of our other
sources of revenue, including the
Excise Laws, and providing for the
substitution of Toll Bill for wharf
dues, thus doing away with the
present conditions whereby the gov
ernment pays exclusively for the

Hawaiian measures were absolutely
neglected and refused further con-
sideration during this session of
Congress, to the detriment and
against the interests of the entire
Territory.
To Apply American Land Laws.
We declare the policy of the Re-
publican party in this Territory
whereby large areas of land and
valuable water rights are still being
alienated from the public domain
for the sole use and benefit of cor
porations or persons already pos
sessed of large tracts of land and
privileges, positive menace to the
upbuilding of an untrammeled
electorate in these Islands and
pledge our delegate to Congress to
secure local application of the spir-
it of American land laws, prefer
ence being given the landless cleo
torate in our Territory in any divis-
ion of the public domain.
The Delegate Pledged.
We further pledge our delegate
to Congress to keep constant vigil
ancc over matters affecting the Ter
ritory;
Untiring effort to secure liberal
appropriations for public improve
ments throughout the Territory;
The withdrawal of House Reso-
luton No. I4672 granting arbitrary
power of removal to the Governor ;
The passage of a measure pro-
viding for the sale in fee on easy
terms of lands in Punchbowl and
elsewhere in the Territory now
principally occupied by citizen ten
ants, preference being given the ac-
tual occupants;
And to careful dissemination of
correct information among the
members Of Congress and in the
Departments at Washington rela-
tive to local affairs.
Local selEoovernment.
Having full faith in the ability
of the people Of this Territory tc
govern themselves. we denounce the

Forced Sales for Taxes.

FuICGo SdteS TOT dNeb.
An enactment covering forced
sales of property for taxes so as
to provide for redemption of the
same;
And an appropriation bill so
framed that the annual expendit-
ures of the Territory shall not ex-
coed its income, believing that any
administration incapable of SO limit
ing its expenditures is unworthy of
the support of the people.
Pension the Queen.
We pledge Our candidates to the
Legislature to renewal of the usu-
al appropriations for Liliuokalani
and our Delegate to Congress to
the introduction and support of a
measure looking to a permanent ap.
preparation for the same purpose.
Labor To Be Protected.
We favor all reasonable measures
looking to the amelioration of labor
conditions among the citizens of
this Territory and to the upbuild-
ing of permanent homes within Our
borders.
We favor more strict enforce
ment of the citizen labor and eight
hour laws, coupled with minimum
wage on public works and an ex-
tension of this provision along rea
sonable lines to embrace labor re-
quired under valuable franchises or
other special privileges granted by
the Legislature of this Territory.
We favor also dispensing with
the employment of prisoners on
work in competition with free citi-
zens.
Open Fishing Rights.
We condemn the procrastinatlng
policy pursued by the Territorial
Executive in relation to securing
control of the private fishing rights
in this Territory and pledge our
candidates to the Legislature to
such a course as shall most prompt
ly open these fishing rights to the
general public.
Extend School System.
We favor the extension of the.
public school system, SO as to en-
brace comprehensive course OF
manual and agricultural training
and an elementary course in civil
government, thus instilling into the
youth of this Territory the princi-
pies of industry and good citizen
ship upon which the future welfare
of this Territory SO much depends.
Republicans shirked Sworn Duty.
We charge that the Republican
majority in the last Legislature
avoided its sworn duty by abstain
ing from reapportionment of Ter
ritorial Senators and Representa-
tives as required by Chapter 2, Sec
ton S., of the Organic Act.
Money for Moloksl.
We favor establishing under Fed
| eral control and at Federal expense
appliances at the Lcper Settlement
in this Territory;

Relying implicitly upon the
soundness and integrity of the prin-
ciples above set forth, and upon the
justice and intelligence of the mas
ses, we present this platform to the
people of the Territory and earnest
ly invoke the active support of all in
its vindication and success, cordial
ly inviting to full and equal COM
munion, all those of whatever poll
teal creed who recognize the JUS
tice of our cause in the doctrines
we profess, and who desire to par
ticipate in their triumph.

your hands in your own pockets.
IF you will reread your opinion
you will discover that you laid down
very clearly therein that you have
no cause Of complaint against these
gentlemen armed with cameras. They
are acting strictly within the rights
reserved to them by your decision
I'm effect, you contended that the
rights of one who obtains a likeness
surreptitiously are superior to those
of one who buys the right to use it
for one purpose, but uses it for an
other. Naturally, the camera fiend

yourself suggested, at least within

ROCHESTER,, N. Y. Aug. about
two years ago Chief Justice A. b.
Parker of the court Of appeals hand
ed down a decision adverse to Miss
Abdigail Robertson, who had petit

featuring concern from using her
photograph for advertising purposes
The young woman was disappoint-

II reserve the right to put my hands

you that you have no such right as

Robertson. II have high authority
for my statement, being nothing less
than a decision Of the court of ap-
peals of this state, wherein you wrote
the prevailing opinion. The action
was one in which I was the plaintiff.
"You may recollect that the facts
in that case were admitted; that the
defendants, without my knowledge
or consent and knowing that they had
no right or authority so to do, had
secured my photograph, and having
caused it to be enlarged and litho-
graphed to life size had circulated
copies thereof as an advertisement;
that such use of my likeness caused

BEFORE QUEEN AND HAS TAKEN LONDON


OGDEN. Utah, Aug. s.-Three years
ago Mamie Tout. barely out Of short
dresses, left this city for England.
where she accompanied her father,
who had been called upon by the
authorities of the Mormon church to
perform missionary work.
Three years ago she was picking
fruit in her fathers orchard here.
Last month, in resopnse to royal
command, she appeared at Bucking-
ham palace and sang before Queen
Alexandra and her court. Her sue
cess on London concert platforms has
been instantaneous.
Miss Tout was discovered by an
Englishman. who was attracted by
her singing old Mormon hymns at
an outdoor meeting held by the elders
in Regents park. London. This man
made himself acquainted with her
father and subsequently begged to be
allowed to place her in the Royal
College of Music, where her voice
could be trained. Here she was taken
up by Alberta Visetti, who became
enthusiastic over her voice and Sc
cured for her engagements. She is
now singing In concerts with the
leading London artists, although not
quito 20 years OF age.
Her sister. Miss Grace Tout. and
her father. Edwin r. Tout. are now
also studying with Visettli in Lon

tralto voice, while Tout has a rich
tenor.
