which the mofigagot shall have the
rilhi to rodorm roal estate, sold under
foreclosure ~ mortgage ~ other OK
ecution sale, within one year after
such snlc by paying principal, interests
and costs.
Public Lands. We demand that the
public innds ot the United states IN
the Territory Of Hawaii be administer
ed by the Federal government, and we
declare that the Constitution Of the
United States as determined by the
U. $. Supreme Court cstops Congress
from delcgating its power of legisla-
ton to local Territory ms to public
lands as much ms 1t is cstoppcd from
dclegating its power of legislation to
coin money. or any other power solely
vested in the Congress.
Agricultural Collegc.-We favor the
establishment of an Agricultural Col
lege, with a medical department which,
for obvious reasons, should be located
in the County of Hawaii. to be main.
tanned as other agricultural colleges
throughout the United States. and not
by leasing public lands to corporations
rs Indicated in the Republican platform
recently adopted ut Waikiki.
Local Control of Schools.-Wc de-
mand local control of schools by the
counties, under the immediate super
vision of a Superintendent of Schools,
20, L., al 4a1 l,,. - liz,
ty as n county officer, together with a
percentage of taxes now devoted to
school purposes in addition to the 80
per cent. of taxes which the counties
now receive; also n complete revision
of the school law.

the passage of law by which the
jails in the several counties shall be
turned over to the counties as county
jails TO be under the supervision and
control of the county sheriff; and that
all water works be also turned over
to the counties.
Incorporation of Cities and Towns
We favor law by which cities and
towns in this Territory may be incor-
porated, to be decided by the qualified
electors of such city or town at a
special election held for that purpose.
! Pay of Jurors.-We favor n law by
which jurors shall be paid continuously
from the date on which they appear in
court until they are finally discharged.
Also that all qualified electors who fail
/ to register and vote shall have their
names placed upon the jury list and be
made subject to jury duty.
Attitude of Corporations.-We de-
nounce the arrogant, domineering at
titude of corporations in this Territory
as intolerable, and doubt ii similar con
ditions can be found in the civilized
| world.
Refund Bill.-Instead Of begging
Congress for special legislation for Ha-
wall and departures from it's regular
course of business, such as asking for
| the passage of the Refund Bill, we deem
| it more wise to ask Congress for APP
preparations to survey the public lands,
maintain an agricultural college, s0n.
duct an irrigation survey, erect storage
reservoirs, improve our harbors, erect
public buildings, etc, etc, such as is
! done for other territories in the usual
course of business and without new
departures which are seldom conceded
Asiatics.-We denounce the Repub-
lican Party of Hawaii as being the
champion of, and wholly responsible
for, Asiatic immigration to this Terri
tory which, if continued, will drive out
every white man and swamp the whole
| Hawaiian race.
Public Utilities.-We maintain that
all inter-island landings are public
utilities and should be under the con-
| troll of the government, either Federal
or Territorial, to the end that all citi-
zens may have equal and free access
thereto.
