dence. This rule also was adhered to
last year, and while the present con-
dtion may be unfortunate, 1t might not
be the best policy or practical TO
change the associations bylaws to
remedy it. for as one member puts IL,
that It would only mean continued
changes each year to meet some new
conditions that might arise.
AS the Santa Monica, race originated
and was intended for strictly Call
fornia proposition, the public cannot
right conditions that solely come with

ment Of club affairs. But the actual
conditions of the race itself that enter
into the elements of true sportsman
ship can. be taken cognizance of by the
public, particularly where new rulings
may be adopted that apply solely TO
the one race. And that at least one
such new rule has been promulgated
bv the racing board that has brought
dissension Is vouched for by the pro-
test entered against it by Leon L.
Shelter. the winner of last years race.
inasmuch as this ruling bars the same
Apperson car from competing in TINS

| that the winner of any event has the
| privilege of defending the prizes he has
won. We herewith reproduce Mr.
! Shelters letter to The Herald bearing
on the subject:

'I point out the fact that their posi-

entered in this race had to be the per-

race, and when we stop to consider

one to win the race, doesn't it appear
rather foolish to make a rule which
necessitates buying a new car for each

off financially than the majority OF
the trade, and yet I do not feel able
to make an outlay of this amount OF
money every September for the pur-
pose of entering the car in race where
we cannot make a cent if we won it.
This race cost me close to $4,000 last
year.

It is hoped that the Santa Monica

year in interest, as the time then made
was the fastest for such long route
ever made on any course, and with the
additional motor car improvements
steadily going on, in all probability the
time could be lessened this season.
It is more than likely that the list

was heard last Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday by Special Commissioner
Harper-on the question of the
overissue of the lands. affecting their
alleged invalidity, and the question OF
whether these compliments are pur-
chasers of the bonds in good faith or
valuable consideration.
All the bonds of those bondholders
were bought at a heavy discount,
many of them as low as 40 cents on
the dollar. What the levee board got
for them is not shown by proof in the
case. It is a matter for common re-
port that at the time the bonds
were sold by the levee board as low
as 10 cents on the dollar.
The compliments are represented
by Messrs. Green & Green, the state
by Attorney General Hudson, N. T.
Burroughs by Messrs Melville II
Thompson, the Delta and Pine Land
Company by Hon. Frank johnston
former attorney general, and the Him
OILS Central Railroad Company by
Messrs. Mayes & Longstreet.
The case was argued orally by
Mr.. Marcellus Green, Hon. T. A. Nc
Willie, Hon. Frank Johnston, the 9th
er counsel being present at the hear
ing before the special commissioner.

ant case now pending in the state. 1t

years, but has recently been brought

discount, some of them going as low
as 10 cents on the dollar; that the
money was not used in levee construc-
!tion, and that the whole issue was IL
legal and void.
The case was finally referred by the
chancellor to Hon. w. r. Harper, who
was appointed special commissioner
by the chancellor to take testimony
and to report to the court on the ques-
ton of the overissue, and as to the
right of the parties on the facts to be
developed by the proof.
The purpose of the bill is to collect
those bonds, amounting in all to
about 100000, by an accounting from
the state of all taxes of the levee
boards No. 1, which it ought to have
collected, and did not collect, in land
Iredemptions and in the general collec-
ton Of taxes by the state auditor, and
to have the account of the recovery
fixed against the state by a decree of
the court.
The bill also seeks to charge the
lands of the Delta and Pine Land
Company, of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company and N. T. Burroughs
in the delta and in Levee District No.
| l, with all the taxes levied by the
act of 1871, being an annual tax of
10 cents an acre. This claim of back
taxes in the question involved, affects
every land owner in the delta, lying
in the old levee district No 1, where
the levee board taxes have not been
paid.
The bonds, if ever enforced, will
presumably fall against the state, in
the first instance, to the indemnifica
ton of the private owners of the
land purchased by them from the
liquidating levee board, and afterward
from the state.

HAWAII DEMOCRATS
IN ROASTING MOOD

Two.thirds of the county platform of
the Hawaii Democrats is devoted to the
alleged shortcomings of two territorial
officials, the superintendent of public
works and the assistant treasurer. One
is reprehensible in the eyes of the Big
Island braves because he won t get
people on the land, while the guilt of
the other consists in the fact that he
won't let the people get off the land
and on TO a sidewalk.
The two planks covering the sore sub
jeets are:
"We heartily endorse that portion of
the territorial platform dealing with
public land. We pledge our delegates
to support any legislation tending to
establish a liberai administration Of
the present land laws. We believe that
the land laws should be administered
in such a way as to give any bona fide
homesteaders an opportunity to obtain
public land in sufficient quantity to en-.
able. them to earn living therefrom
and in this connection we ieprecate
the spirit in which the present law is
being administered by the Hon. Mars
ton Campbell, commissioner of public
lands, for the reason that the public
lands under his administration are be.
ing divided into lots SO small as to be
inadequate for the above purpose We
therefore pledge our representatives
and senators elected from this county,
TO use their utmost endeavors with the
Governor of this Territory to have the
said Marston Campbell removed from
Office as such land commissioner for the
above stated reason. The present land
law as recently amended provides:
" In laying out any homestead the
commissioner of public lands shall in,
elude therein an amount not exceeding
eighty acres Ia area, sufficient TO sup.
port thereon an ordinary family In.
asmuch as the said Marston Campbell
has been surveying lands In blocks of
from ten TO twenty acres, Of inferior

The registration has been extremely

The convention was held in the small
green building at the rear of the Kao-
humanu Church. 1t was a vast change
from the former times when IL requir-
led large hall to house the delegations
that fought for seats in the convention
to that of the present when room
about twelve by twenty-four feet in
size was quite sufficient to house the
delegates including the spectators.
Charles X. Motley presided over the
convention and George Kauhi, county
supervisor from Lahaina, acted as sec.
rotary. There were but fourteen dele.
gates present ana nine proxies, eight of
which were from the Leper Settlement.
Appeal to Race Feeling.
After the opening preliminaries
Charles X. Motley took the floor and
made a speech of about an hour Is durn-
ton. He appealed to the faithful few

ringing denunciation for Democrats or
Republicans fell from his lips, only an
appeal to this followers to keep the
door open for Republicans and Demo.
Gratis to return to place in the ranks
of the Home Rule party whenever
they so choose to do.
Only when the speaker touched on
the immigration issue did he flare up,
and denounced the planters for using
the wealth they had acquired Gin our
, country" to bring in hordes of immi-
grants to work for them, and latterly
to vote down the Hawaiians at the
ballot box. He closed his speech with
another plea to Hawaiians to flock by
themselves and to stay with the Home
Rule party to the end
The Nominations.
The committee on credentials passed
on the credentials, and the real bust
ness of nominating candidates for tie
November elections was taken up.
There were no contests, and the can
didates selected had evidently been
agreed upon beforehand. The list of
nominees is as follows:

members of the land board to see the
Kapaa, Olehena and Waipiole lands,
and also the Cornwell lands on Maui
This idea appealed to most of the
board. Andrade thought the board
ought to see the lands before acting
on the matter of the lands in question.
Brown thought the board might as
well go ahead and discuss the Kappa
matter at the next meeting, visiting
the land afterwards if it should be
thought advisable.
To Reduce Advertising.
Brown presented resolution design.
ed to cut down advertising expenses
by cutting out some Of the country
papers In which notices are now pub
lished. The resolution cuts out the ad.
yertising on the other islands, substi.
tuting therefore notices to be sent out

proposition would be very unjust. 1t
