Unscientific Taxation.


We believe the system of taxation in
vogue in this Territory is increasingly
iniquitous and burdensome, unscientific
and expensive in its application. We
again declare for limiting the sources
of taxation to land values, and a grad
uated income tax. believing these to
be the simplest of application and
least expensive in collection, while
they tax industry in ratio as it is bene-
flied. We declare for an immediate
adjustment of the tax laws, creating
elective assessors in each county, with
right of appeal from assessments to
the county supervisors sitting as tax
appeal board; assessment rolls to be
placed with County Treasurer for col
lection, together with all licenses is
sued in the county; Territorial expen-
ditures to be met by a percentage of
receipts from all counties. We de-
mand an enactment covering forced
sales of property for taxes, or under
mortgage foreclosure, and to provide
for the redemption of same within a
reasonable time We criticize the lack
of Judgment shown by the Territorial
Executive in the selection of three at
torneys to serve in the Tax Commits
sion for which provision was made by
the last Legislature, when the interests
of the community would have been
agriculturist, a manufacturer and a
business man.
We again pledge our candidates for
the Legislature to the enactment of a
direct primary law, the initiative and
referendum including the "recall, "
and call attention to the failure of the
Republican majority of the last Legs
Iature to ''make good their platform
pledge to enact the former.
We again declare for the extension
of the public school system so as to
embrace a comprehensive course of
manual and agricultural training and
an elementary course in civil govern
ment. thus instilIing into the youth of
this Territory the principles of indus
try and good citizenship, upon which
the future welfare of this Territory
must depend. We call attention to the
failure of the Republican Legislature
to make good the party's pledges in
the matter of local boards of educa-
ton.
We favor strict enforcement of the
citizen labor and eight hour laws, in
GLIDING labor on Territorial wharves,
coupled with a minimum wage of one
dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) per day
on all public works of the Territory.
We pledge our Delegate to Congress
to the passage of an act requiring all
labor on Federal public works to be
performed by citizens or those declar |
ing their intention to become such.

Fiscal Policy.

We view with deep concern the total
absence of provision in the fiscal sys
TEN of the Territory for meeting in
terest and the redemption of bonds
when same shall fall due. We charge
that under the prevailing practise
many nonrevenue-producing improve
ments for which loan appropriations
have been expended will become fruit
full sources of further expenditure for
repairs long prior to the redemption
of bonds issued therefor. In this con
nection we favor the policy, on gov
eminent account, of making loan APP
preparations for productive works only,
making provision under a general loan
act for non-productive loan funds Sc
cured by special tax.

The Public Lands.

We call attention to the public
lands of the Territory and the policy
pursued in regard to them in the past.
Capable of being made most potent
agency for the Americanization of the
Territory they have been administer
ed in such way as to become means
for further orientalizing Hawaii and
preventing the creation of an indie
pendent electOrate-free men on a free
soil. We repeat and endorse the de-
mand in the Democratic National Plat
form adopted at Denver. as follows:
eve favor the application of the
principles of the land laws of the Unit
ed States to our newly acquired ter
ritory. Hawaii, to the end that the
public lands of that Territory may be
held and utilized for the benefit of
bona fide homesteaders, as offering
a practical method of making of the
public lands a means of industrial
enfranchisement, of political stability,
and of true Americanization for these
islands.
