: 81 appeal to you people tonight for
campaign of careful, earnest and hon.
est debate upon the questions of inter
est to the Territory. L appeal to you
that you insist that we shall have a
businesslike Legislature, composed of
men who will study all questions on a
, careful, businesslike and scientific basis
and will work out the problems of gov.
eminent on this basis.
81 have stated that the principal
question now is that of public lands
and I wish to speak briefly on this
subject. The Democratic platform
stands for one thing, the extension of
the Federal land laws to Hawaii. That
is set forth in two paragraphs of their
printed literature. / am well aware
that the Democrats have come to real
izing sense of what they have done
and now state that they have not gone
that far, stating / believe that the
principle of the law should be ap.
piled to Hawaii. / want to read to you
from their printed principles:
"In the first place their platform
states mere that they believe in the ex.
tension of the principle of The Federal
land law. If the principle does not
mean the law itself, 1 do not know
what it does mean. The principle of the
law is what that law states, but [ will
not split hairs about that.
Gin the second place there is their
memorial presented to Secretary Gar.
field in which they sad: 'Notwith.
standing the fact that grave abuses
have existed under the Federal home
stead laws-and your statement based
on your experience in administering
those laws we must accept as conclu
! sive on that point-we urge the exten
} sion of those laws to the public lands
of this Territory as the most practical
: means of abolishing the abuses ana

} we do not discredit your Judgment, but
/ we would point out that there is like
, lihood of such amendments to the Fed
: eral homestead laws as will prevent the
abuses arising under them and viii
; make them serve, because the attention
r of Congress is being directed to those
J evils by yourself and from all direc
tions. We urge, the immediate suspen
. sion of that portion of the Hawaiian
land law authorizing either sale or ex
Q change of public lands; that the home
. stead lands granted by way of home

t stead quality; that the Federal home
e stead law be extended here.

Joint Resolution expressly declared
against it. In the second place, con-
slider the loss of revenue there would
be, 100000 year and rapidly increas.
ing in amount. That money, if the
Democrats attained their end, would go
to the Federal treasury and not to the
Hawaiian.
eff we asked Congress to do this it
would be confession that we are not
even capable of doing those things that
we have already been entrusted with
by Congress. 1t would be the first step
toward government by commission. Do
you want to go back7 Do you want
government by commissions Cries of
'No!'] Let us go forward, not back; to
statehood, not to government by COM
mission. If our public land is ever
turned over to the Federal government
it is lost to us forever and we will be
in the position of the mainland States,
with the exception of Texas, which has
its own public lands as we have.
"The extension of the Federal home
stead laws here would mean the appli-
cation of laws that are not applicable
to conditions now on the mainland and
here would be even less applicable. We
complain now that some of the Fed
eral laws are not applicable and are not
enforced as we would wish Would you
go 5000 miles away to Washington tc
have our land laws administered? Would
you have native applying from KAT
or Kona for bit of land Obliged tc
