HIS Policies
Gives Reasons For His Desire
to Receive Reappoint-
ment.

III eIaDoratlng upon tne HTSt an
nouncement of his candidacy for re-
appointment. given to the Bulletin
yesterday, Governor Frear says:
THE people in general have treated
me very well and have been very con-
siderate and have nothing to COM
plain of, although one in this Office
must necessarily expect more or less
criticism and necessarily must be OBJ
liged, in the performance Of what he
deems his duty to tread on the toes
of good many people.
But in spite of all that I have
found much that has been pleasant
and a great deal that has been very
interesting.
ut takes time to study conditions
formulate policies and work them out
and there is much that can not be
done without legislation. Considerable
was accomplished in the way of leg.
islation during the first session in my
administration, that is, two years ago
and much more during the recent SEES
sion, so that the next two years ought
to count for much more than any pre-
vious two years.
81 would like to see some of the
policies that we have been working
on developed more fully and more Sc
curely established There are a great
many policies. For instance, in re.
gard TO the public health-a fair start
was made in the matter of leprosy
two years ago. A new policy in re-
gard to that had been formulat ed anC
the necessary legislation was enacted
during the first session and now W.
are beginning to realize the desired
results Another year or two ought
to put that matter in good shape.
"Thcn there Is the matter OF gen
eral sanitation and the prevention ant
suppression of contagious and lnfec
tious diseases, in connection witt
which large number Of very i'm
portant laws were enacted during the
last session.
Much had been accomplished be
fore In the reorganization and energ
izing of the public health department
in all It's branches and now we are
prepared for more pronounced ad
vance in the work.
"A beginning was made in the mat
ter OF legislation In connection will
tuberculosis two years ago and thi
has been greatly extended during tn,
last session.
"Then, Of course, there is the put
ting of Honolulu into a permanent
sanitary condition, both with the au
thorlty and means provided by thu
last legislature for immediate work
and, through the sanitary commits
sion, with reference more to the fu
( ture.
There is also the matter of thu
public lands, especially in connection
with homcsteading. The necessar.
: amendments to the organic act wer,
finally framed after great deal o
study, and they, have been enacted b.
congress. II remains to apply them IL
a way that will work as satisfactory,
and successfully as possible.
Next there is the whole subject o
conservation, which is closely con
nected with the material welfare O
the territory at every point. both Il
connection with the main industrie
and homesteading, embracing the by
geographic and topographic services
forestry, entomology, animal industr
and the establishment of experiment
tai and demonstration farms.
Then. OF course, there Is the ne,
law placing the public schools on
proper financial basis for the frs
time, and the working out of ne'
policies made possible by that
"Under the new loan bill II will b
possible TO do a great deal In the mat
ter of public improvements. such a

and other public buildings. etc, in
