say about what the Republican party
has done. He speaks of the visit of

ments. / am glad Mr.. Newell has
| come. But his coming has nothing TO
! do with the laws governing the public
lands of Hawaii, nor their administra-
ton. II tell you what the Republi.
| can party has done and hash t done in
regard to the public lands of Hawaii.
and II tell you what Governor Frear
has done in regard to them. They
haven t asked Congress to make it any
easier to get the public lands into the
hands of citizens who want to make
homes on the land and to support their
families from the land. But it has ask
ed Congress to make it easier to keep
! the public lands out of the hands Of
the people. This whole region right
around here on Punchbowl is public
land held under lease by you. A bill
was introduced in Congress about four
years ago to enable you people to pur.
chase the lands on which you have
built your homes, at the expiration of
your leases, on reasonable terms. Has
the Delegate to Congress or the Gov
ernor, CT the Republican party, done
ANYTHING to secure the passage of that
billi Nothing But what they did se-
cure from Congress was an act ena-
bling the Governor and the Land Com
missioner to make longer leases to
plantations, thus keeping the public
lands longer out of use as homesteads
Possibly under this law a lease of the
,, land on which you have built your
homes. can be made to the Kapiolani
Estate for fifteen years.
