NC NnNfhAf0nt We nlHu NfNN upon N8f
Delegate 20 Congress 90 take every
means withln bic power 10 further
legislation now pending before con.
ffess for the appropriation of federal
funds establishing and supporting in.
dustrial schools, especially those Of
vocational type IN each island Of the
Territory.
Damages for Destruction Of Property.
We deem 70 an act of justice that
adequate provision be made by tho
legislature for losses suffered by tho
owners of any or NIL property destroy.
ed under orders Of the board Of health
during the recent campaign 20 prevent
the introduction into the Territory Of
yellow fever when such destruction has
been held by the supreme court TO
have been unauthorized by Jaw.
Cemeteries.
We believe that the reservation Of
suitable area of land should be made
In each county, particularly in the
city of Honolulu, for the burial of the
INDECENT dead. The cemetery conditions
of the city require thoughtful attention
and proper regulations should be
brought about to enable the poor to
bury their own without being compell-
ed to pay such high charges as are
usually levied by private cemeteries.
Sanitation.
While the progress of general santa
ton during the last two years result :
ing from the laws passed by the Re-
pubhcaan legislature, has been substan-
tial throughout the Territory, we fav-
or the extension of the movement, and
the passage of such further laws and
appropriations which may be calculat-
ed to reduce the death rate and guard
the health of the people.
Fisheries.
With hundreds of miles of coast
line, we recognize that the aquatic
resources of the Territory must ever
form one. of the valuable assets of ali
the people. We therefore urge that
steps be taken by the legislature of
the Territory to secure the cooperation
of the federal government that fish
cultural and biologic station similar to
those now in operation on the main
land may speedily be established on
the Island of Oahu to form an ex-
perimental station for the study, con-
servation and increase of this impor-
tant possession of the Territory, to
the end that the sea food which is a
daily article of diet of all the people
may be increased in quantity, improv-
ed in quality and cheapened in price.
Liquor Law.
The experience of the past two years
has demonstrated that under all the
circumstances the present liquor law is
admirably adapted to conditions within
the Territory. We pledge our repre-
sentatives in the legislature to resist
any attempt to alter that law in any
respect.
Employer and Employe.
We endorse the enactment of laws
by which the adjustment of differences
between employers and employees shall
be submitted to arbitration, to the end
that not only shall capital receive
: proper protection, but that the rights
of employees to fair and just treat
ment may not be trampled upon.
We endorse the enactment of com
prehensive and generous workmen s
compensation laws in place of the
present wasteful and unjust system of
employers liability.
The Tariff.
The two great political parties of the
nation are once more at issue ON the
subject of the tariff, and in the present
|, campaign that issue is clearly defined.
The Republican party stands for pro-
. lection to American industries, while
+ the Democratic party denounces the pro-
7 tective idea, and pronounces for tariff
. for revenue only, which is the equiva-
y lent of free trade.
In no place within the United States
can be found better evidences of the
beneficent results of the protective tar
! iff than in the Territory of Hawaii. We
g reiterate our firm support of that policy,
S and constantly predict that the people
9 of the Territory will by an overwhem-
y ing Republican victory stamp with dis
{ approval the destructive policy of the
g Democratic party.
u A Democratic house of representa-
u tives has but recently endeavored to
3, foist upon the country law removing
o all duties on raw sugar for the purpose
e of enriching the refiners of sugar at the
, expense of the producers The same
II party has in its national platform, re-
r affirmed the doctrine which its repre-
y sentatives in congress declared demand
st ed free sugar, and its leaders have open
$, ly asserted, that, should the party Sc
u cure control of the Nation, all duties
% on raw sugar would be at once re
y moved. The course of the Democratic
party in this respect is calculated to de
s. stroy one of the chief industries of Ha
y waii and we unhesitatingly and un
u qualifedly denounce it.
T. A Democratic victory in the Terri
If tory would be construed by the advo
a Gates of free sugar as an approval by
lie the people of the Territory of that doc
s, trine. We call upon every voter of thu
AZ Territory, genuinely interested in ou
d welfare, to register his protest and as
TO sist in placing the Territory on recorC
n, in no unmistakable terms.
al The coffee industry of this Territor,
should be encouraged. along with othe
diversified industries, and to this en'
Mt we believe in advocating Legislation
nj providing a protective tariff on coffee
