hold water. This bill does not give us
as much as the last bill, but neverthe.
less 1t is a good one to start on. The
County will have fifty per centum OF
about 100000 year to run our CouD
ty. more or less according to our grow
ing prosperity. Taxes will be moro
this year on account Of the rise of
sugar. About $4,000 will be needed
for police and county officers. and the
balance Of about $4,000 or 100000 will
be used for improvements, roads and
bridges. The County has never before
had any such amounts for roads and
bridges. Out Of about 100000 appro.
priated. only about $17,75O we're &C.
tually spent on our roads. Under
County Government we really have
more available money for public i'm.
provements than under the Territorial
government: we will have more Of our
shares of the taxes. Formerly we got
big appropriations which looked well
on paper. II we elect good men to In.
stall County Government, we will get
the full benefit of the law. do not
think that any island outside of Oahu
ever got its full dues under the Terri.
torial Government. 1t Is true, we got
the appropriations but we did not get
the money. Territorial Treasurer
Campbell says there's no money in
treasury. and although we are entitled
to $4,000 July LIST, we will get no
money. We must then put in men who
have the confidence of the business
community and the bankers. We are
going to have a very difficult time try.
ing to get money to run our County
and we must have the pull. somewhere
In order to get the money. | believe
that the candidates Of the Republican
party are the best men to fill County
Offices, they are men who would find
no difficulty in securing bonds. On the
other hand, our opponents will have a
hard time Of 1t, except a few Of them
who can get bonds. l am not sure
even whether my opponent can secure
bonds. The Republican party will east.
ly obtain money from the Territorial
Government, IL there's any to be had,
quicker than our opponents because we
belong to the same party. The County
Act is good bill and credit to the
Legislature. II we are allowed the
first opportunity Of conducting the af.
fairs OF the County. we will ask for
further powers under it, and 1t will DO
granted. We are liable to clash with
. the Territorial Government. but there's
, enough talent represented in the per.
sonnet of the candidates of the Re
publican party to assure us a good
firm and business like basis.
Hon. s. Il. Kaiue was introduced by
the chairman as the Bismarck OF the
Home Rule party, who has now affiliat
ed himself with the Republican party
and will perhaps become its Henry
Clay. His remarks were interpreted
, into English by ]. N. X Keola. Mr.
kaiue spoke briefly as follows: you
