PARTY POLICIES


cal appropriations to enable them TO
continue their work In this behalf.
public Roads, Streets and Parks
In order to attract tourists, as we'll as
to guard the public health, we believe
that large sums of money should soon
be expended i'm the public roads and
highways of this Territory, recon-.
mending particularly the reconstruc-
ton and Improvement of the belt
roads around this Island and the
blocking or paving of the principal
streets i'm Honolulu; that the public
parks should be enlarged, beauufed
and additional parks laid out, and we
recommend the widening and pur-
chase of the balance of Aala park
block for the enlargement of said
park; that if it becomes necessary to
issue bonds for this purpose, we favor
such legislation as will permanently
place out public roads and highways,
streets and parks in the condition
which they ought to be, and further
recommend such expenditures be more
evenly distributed throughout the diff
ferent districts in the City and Coun-
ty.
Liquor License Fees.-We believe
that the fees for liquor licenses for
the City and County of Honolulu
should be turned over to the said City
and County.
"Sale of intoxicating Liquors.-The
Republican party regards the plebis-
cite as a conclusive expression of the
overwhelming sentiment of the people
of this Territory in favor of the pre-
sent excellent liquor law and its en-
forcement in good faith. We therefore
pledge our representatives in the le-
gislature against any cnange or mo-
dification of that law and demand it's
faithful, impartial, and vigorous en-
forcement, and pledge them to make
the necessary appropriations to carry
out the law.
Increased Facilities and Harbor
mproVements.-The policy of the pre-
sent territorial administration to in
crease the facilities of harbors and
make such improvements as will meet
the demands of maritime commerce
is hereby adopted by this convention,
and we strongly urge the territorial
legislature to further increase the IA
cilities of every harbor in the terri
tory and make such permanent i'm
provements therein so that upon the
completion of the Panama canal am
pie accommodations can be afforded to
every steamship or vessel entering and
departing from such ports and the
handling of freight and passengers
can be done with safety and dispatch,
and thus Hawaii shall be a strong
auxiliary in re-establishing the supre-
macy of the American merchant ma
rine.
Appropriation for LiIiuokaIani.-i
We favor the continuance, so long as
she shall live, of the permanent set
Element upon the former Queen Lii
uokalani.
TRUSTS and Other MonopoIies.-We
stand opposed to all trusts and mono
poles and combinations of capital
which tend to control supplies, in
crease prices, lower wages, and place
burdens upon the labor and laborers
of the Territory.
"Honest, Economical Administration
of County Government.-We demand
for the people honest, economical and
efficient administration of County gov
eminent by the officers thereof, and
will use every effort to require county
officials to spend the public money to
the best advantage and that in the
bu ding and construction of roads, and
other public works, the public money
shall not be wasted, and that compe-
tent officials only shall be engaged to
control and direct the expenditures
required for such purposes.
Republican supervlsors.-We COM
mend the work of the Republican ma
jority of the Board of Supervisors of
the City and County of Honolulu in re-
deeming the pledges given to the peo-
pie in the last campaign. Their full
fillment of the pledge relative to the
belt road with other extensive road
and street Improvements, their hand
ling of the municipal finances, so that
the wage earners Of the City and Coun-
ty have had regular employment while
the funds have been so conserved as
to leave handsome balance to the
next board. Their administration of
matters conencted with the jails,
schools, and sanitary matters commit
ted to their charge by the legislature
of 1909 are worthy of the Republican
partys appreciation.
democratic Inoapaeity.-We call at
