The grocers of the city are perfect
ly willing to extend credit to respon.
sible pa.ties for n period of thirty
day, but have formed this association
to protect themselves against un-
scrupulous persons who make II a
rule to run bills for thirty days and
then refuse to pay for the goods.
The resolutions also contains the
following: I'VE hereby agree not to
extend credit longer than the fifth OF
| each month and all customers who
fail to settle by that time will be
dropped. We have a list of all par
| ties in the city who are behind in
| their accounts and to those we will
extend the time limit until the 18th
of June. Should they fail to make a
| satisfactory settlement by that time
their names will be given TO every
| member OF the association who Will
keep it on file for further reference"
We as merchants OF the city appre-
ciate the patronage of the good citi-
Zens and these measures are not
adopted In any manner relative to
! them, but as is well known the retail
grocer has many bad debts to contend
with and 1t is to guard against such

HOME RULE PLATFORM. |

The Independent Home Rule Party Of
Oahu, T. H., in county and city con
vention assembled this Goth day Of
September, A. d. 1908, in Kahiliaulani
Hall, hereby endorses the Territorial
platform of this party, adopted by the
Territorial Convention on the 31st day
of August, A. ID. 1908.
We declare the Independent Home
Rule Party to be the party of the peo-
pie, who believe in the principles of
self government, irrespective Of color
OF race, standing for honest, efficient
and economic government of the affairs
Of the people, by the people and for
the people.
We hereby pledge our Delegate to
Washington to ask Congress suitable
appropriation for the support and
maintenance of the Territorial wards
at the Leper Settlement, in the County
of Kalawao, on the Island of Molokai.
We pledge our candidates for city
and county officers to an economic and
honest administration of the affairs of
the city and county government of Ho-
nolulu, T. II.
We believe that the officers of the
government should be paid according
to the service they render to the public.
We believe in equality for all of our
citizens, without regard to race or
color.
We believe that all improvements
should be made with an equal regard
to the poor as well as the rich.
We pledge our candidates to the Leg
islature to so amend the labor act to
permit the selection of unskilled labor
from among the voters of each polit-
ical party in each county precinct or
district, wherein the government work
is to be performed, from among the
voters of each party in said precinct
or district of as equal number as
practicable from each party; and MAX
ing unjust discrimination in such Sc
lection misdemeanor. And that the
spirit of this plank is also applicable
to Section 10 of Chapter 10 of the
Municipal Act.
We also pledge our candidates for
the city and county of Honolulu to
Ak by ordinance the compensation Of
all day laborers in the employment or
service Of the city and county of Ho-
nolulu a minimum wage of two dollars
and fifty cents ($2,5Ql per day on all
public unsltilled works.
We believe that it is a good policy
for the Territorial and city and county
heads of departments to pay all EN-
ployes and laborers in each department
on the last day of the week.
