him beneath the armpits and held his

The Democratic party in and Of the
City and County Of Honolulu, acting
by and through the medium prescribed
by the party rules, hereby promulgates
the following platform:
/. We reaffirm our allegiance to the
faith Of the Democratic party, as set
forth in our national and our terrific
rial platforms.
2. We pledge our senators and rep
resentauves In the Legislature, and
cur municipal officers and supervis-
ors To use their best endeavors to
carry into effect the principles and
policies herein expressed. T..
Divorce Of Governmental Matters.
3. We believe that the powers Of
our municipal government should be
extended so as 10 confer more author.
ity upon the mayor and our board Of
supervisors. especially such as will
effect a final divorce Of the terrific
rial government from matters that are
purely municipal In their scope, in
Guiding the support OF schools. and In,
particular we demand that the right
of taxation for all municinal PURPOSES
and the fixing OF the rate CT taxation In
the city and county he conferred upon
cur board Of supervisors -
Rate Of Taxation. 49,.
4. That instead Of the present ar
hitrary two-thirds ~ one per cent In
the tax rate for the support Of the
city and county. we believe that the
tax law should be amended so that the
board OF supervisors should prepare a
budget in January OF each year pro-
viding for the wants Of the city and
county for the current year. From
this amount should be deducted the
amount estimated for receipts other
than taxes. The remainder to be rs.
tlmated as a certain percentage Of the
total assessed value ct property in the
CITY and county fo- the previous year.
This nercentage should be the rate OF
taxation for the current wear collected
for the support CT the city and county.
To Ar,.nd License Laws.
s. We pledge our candidates tn the
legislature tn amend the license lews
~ as to make them more equitable.
We recommend that the. grades OF
VleTCHd0ulSe tlCSuSPS p0 ~ dUiuSSCu
that the minimum NAV be reduced aud
the maximum increased In promotion
to the value Of business transacted.
Election and Tenure Of
MUnlclpal otiees. ~
. 6. We believe that the best inter.
ests of our city and county would be
subserved bv electing its officers at
a time different from the time when
members Of the legislature are elected
Also that the term OF municipal ON
GERS should be extended TO four years
20 the end that their efficiency may
not be impaired by too frequently re.
curing elections.
tn. Frontage Tax Law.

board Of supervisors for the wise iudg'
ment they have displayed in approach
ing with caution and elaboration the
responsibility Of enforcing the proyi'
sions of the socalled frontage tax law
passed by the last territorial legis-
lature. We heartily approve the pol.
icy adopted by the board Of supervis'
ors by which the initiative for road
improvements under the provisions OF
Act 1871 OF the Session Laws OF 1913
currently known as the frontage tax
law must originate with the property
owners seeking road Improvements
under the law. We believe this poll
icy to be the wisest course to pursue
until such time as the popularity oil
the assessment plan for road improve
ments Is established In the communi-
tv and the principles involved are
thoroughly understood by the people.
We believe that this law should be
amended by making the territory and
any political subdivision thereof part.
les to and in favor Of any public I'M
movements sought to be carried on
Hereunder, and that the general pur-
poses Of the law NAV be strengthened
at points found weak or impractical.
Commanding Supervisors -. ......
for Road Work. .
s. We commend our present Demo
cratic board Of supervisors for the
amount and excellence OF the work
done by them in the reconstruction
Of, bridges to the number OF 81. being
virtually all of the important bridges
in the city and county. In addition to
the long stretches Of highway rebuilt
upon permanent lines. Two important
and expensive additions to the Belt
road. one In Waialua district and one
in Koolau. were constructed out OF
current funds, although the present
board found an empty treasury upon
assuming office. But we believe that
this cannot become successful resort
for tourists until at least satisfact
DRY and permanent belt road around
the .entire island shall be provided,
and to such belt road should be added
as soon as finances permit, similar
roads through the Wainae and Waia
lua districts, around Kaena point, and
around Makapuu. point and through
Wa:manalo to a junction with the
present belt road.
Play Grounds and Parks.
8. We favor liberal appropriations
for the opening and maintenance oil
play grounds and parks. and we es
pecially commend our present Demo
cratic board of supervisors for the
great improvements made by them in
this direction, especially In the case
Of Kapiolani park, which has been i'm
proved from the status of neglected
breeding place for mosquitoes to thai
of a garden spot, affording facilities
for juvenile games and the manly
sports. that has made this favorite

Chamber of Commerce that the super

cided to make immediate application
for force of about so territorial pris-
oners, and to take steps to have the

the immediate provision for an emer.
gency hospital In the city and county
of Honolulu, we pledge our mayor and
board of supervisors to devise ways
and means whereby such an iDstitu.
ton may be established in said city
and county Of Honolulu for the
and temporary treatment OF conta-
gious diseases. ':.s
Minimum Wage. r.
Il. We pledge cur candidates to
the legislature, cur mayor and board
of supervisors to frame law which
will make the minimum wage two del
lars per day for all unskilled labor per.
formed by territorial, county and mu.
nicipal government employees. H..
Conclusion. --.asz-
IS. In conclusion, we demand in all
legislative and municipal business the
highest possible degree Of honesty, ef-
ficiency and diligence, and we will
tolerate nothing less on the part Of
any candidate or Official Of the party.

Public Health.
10. We pledge our legislative and
municipal representatives to liberal
appropriations for the maintenance Of
the public health: and we approve the
liberality OF our Democratic board OF
supervisors in aiding the afflicted
through the medium Of subsidies TO
hospitals and To the Leahi Home.
Water Works and Sewers.
IL. BY an act Of the Republican
legislature Of the territory, an tmpos-
sible condition has been imposed upon
the city and county IN that we are
obliged to set aside from the revenues
cf said water works and sewers about
S201 10000 per year as interest and
sinking fund upon bonds issued by
the territory for their construction.
whereas the gross revenue is but $179..
900. 90. and the cost Of maintenance Is
over $l02. a00. 90. leaving about $4,000
per year for interest and redemption
of bonds. We therefore demand an
amendment Of Act 1873. section 3. OF
the laws Of 1918. whereby the city and
ccuntv NAV be enabled to extend the
time for the redemption Of said bonds
and the discharge Of its OBLIGATIONS
incident to the taking over OF those
utilities.
We realize that the public health
cannot be adequately safeguarded
without the installation and mainte-
nance of a comprehensive system OF
sewers. The present sewer system
was inaugurated when the city was
much smaller than at present and sit
uated chiefly uDon the flats. The un-
exBected growth Of our city has now
demonstrated the inade0uacy OF the
system as existing and the current row
enuas If the citv and county are in
sufficient to furnish such a system;
we therefore favor q plehiscite at as
early a date as practicable. and as
prcvided nv present law. to determine
whether the city and county shall is
sue bonds to supply funds for this pur'
pose. H..
For a City Hall.
~. We believe that the growth and
dignity of our city demands the early
construction Of city hall for the
housing Of our municipal Offices.
Electric Lighting System.
10. Our present electric lighting
system is inadequate for the service
imposed upon Il We therefore favor
such extensions and such Improvement
in the equipment thereof as will rem
der It adequate In extent and quality

II We favor the efficient mainte'
nance Of the city and county band. and
the still further Improvement Of the
efficiency Of the police force and the

10. We believe in the efficient main
tenanee OF the public schools and
pledge our legislative and municipal
representatives to this end. But, ow.
ing to the parsinfony or Republican

been deprived of the revenues neces'
sary to meet our obligations in this
direction and we demand more liberal

A serious accident occurred on the
18th, when Pvt. John Anderson of A
Company of the I'd was struck In the
left eye by a bullet that had bounded
back from the steel gallery target in
use by the soldiers company. The
accident was due to one of those I'M
fortunate things that bullets indulge
in, and was in no sense due to the
lack of ordinary precaution. The sur
geons were unable to prevent the loss
of the sight of the eye. A board of
officers consisting Of Maj. H. o. Will
liams, Capt. G.. II. Jamerson and 1st
Lieut.. N. w. Campanole, all of the I'd
Infantry, has been convened by the
post commander to investigate the
circumstances and has been specially
directed to report upon the question
Of whether the injury to Private An
derson was received in the line Of
duty. Anderson is still a patient in
