as may from time to time become
necessary.
HoMEsTEApiNo AND HOMESTEAD
ROADS.
One or the greatest obstacles to sue
cessful demonstrating In this territory
has been the lack Of roads during the
first few years when the homestead
ef Is performing his homestead duties.
At the very tine when the law, as 1t
now stands, compels the homesfeader
to work and live on his homestead in
many instances the lack of roads has
rendered a compliance with the law
almost, IL not entirely. impossible.
We advocate row, as we did in 1914.
the establishment Of q revolving fund
for the purpose OF building these roads
as soon as the public lands are home
steade1 We therefore pledge our rep
resentatiyes and senators to enact Leg
islation providing for such revolving
fund Of sufficient size to allow the
prompt building Of roads as soon as
the homestead tracts are opened, the
money from the sale of such home
stead lots to be turned back into the
said revolving funds on hand to pro-
vide FOR the prompt building of the
said homestead roads as soon as the
public lands are opened for home
stealing.
In connection with the actual open
ing up Of public lands to homestead
ers, we believe that the large discre-
tionary power exercised by the chief
executive should be curtailed. The aim
at all times should be the settlement
upon the lands of permanent class OF
citizen farmers. We believe the home
stealing OF. public lands should be un-
der such mandatory rules and regula-
lions as will prevent the said lands
being eventually turned over TO specu-
lators and CORPORATIONS and as will
succeed in establishing upon the lands
q permanent class of independent
farmers.
CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
We again reiterate our faith and
belief in county government. and we
pleuss out p. ess-ns-. - go. a L. -.
islation as may be necessary to
amend the present charter Of the City
and County of Honolulu with . view
to the efficient and responsible ad-
ministration OF local government by
elected heads Of departments who
