Pension For Princess Kalanianaole
Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole
gave the best thought and energy
of an active life to sincere and pat
riotic effort in behalf of the people
of Hawaii nei. This called for con-
slant sacrifice of personal comfort,
financial loss and self denial in which
the burden was shared in a spirit
of loving and loyal helpfulness by
his beloved princess. The Aloha of
Hawaii and the thoughtful spirit of
America unite in recognizing the pri-
vilege and responsibility of making
appropriate and adequate provision
for the families of honored men who
have devoted their lives to public
service.
We pledge the Republican members
of the Legislature to provide an ade-
quate pension for the widowed Prin-
cess Elizabeth Kalanianaole as an eX-
preston of the sympathy and unfail-
ing aloha of loyal citizens OF Hawaii.
Congressional Appropriations
Hawaii carries all the burden Of
federal taxation common to the states
of the Union. 1t is legally an inte-
grail part of the United States and
therefore is justly entitled to all ben
efits under congressional legislation
for purposes of national development.
We therefore urge continuous effort
on the part of Jul delegate to Con
gress and Territorial administration
to secure from Congress the same ben
efits as states usually derive under
such development and welfare legIsIa-
ton.
Home Rule
We o with satisfaction the
return of the principle as indicated
in the last platform that federal ap-
pointments in Hawaii shall be made
from the residents of this Territory
and declare that this action of the ma
tional administration is in confirma-
ton of the principle that in an or
ganized Territory of the United States
every occasion shall be taken to train
the citizens in the difficult act of self
government to the end that the citi-
zens of such territory shall be ready
for the full responsibilities of citizen
ship under statehood.
Labor Relief
We feel that the maintenance of
the prosperity OF the Hawaiian Is
lands is as much to the interest of
the people of the mainland of the
United States is to the citizens of
this Territory. We point with pride
to the fact that during the early par
ticipatiOn of these islands in the
worlds political affairs the industries
and government of Hawaii were dew
eloped along American lines and in
accordance with American customs
and ideals and we are especially proud
of the fact that since the annexation
of these Islands to the United States
the people of Hawaii have never falt-
cred in their duty, loyalty and patrio-
tism as citizens of our country, but
have advanced on lines of American
civilization.
We present, that due to causes be-
yond the control of Hawaii, u indus
trial prosperity has been and is being
threatened by a serious shortage OF
labor, which shortage affects not only
our local prosperity but the good of
the nation as a whole by curtailment
of production OF a vital necessity.
Accordingly, we heartily endorse
the efforts that have been put forth
by the legislature, the governor, the
late and present delegates and other
officials of this Territory in endeavor-
ing to secure congressional and to-
ward the solution of our labor and in
dustrial problems by special immigra-
ton legislation to that end.
Hawaiian Homes Act
We pledge the continued support of
the Republican party to the rehabili-
tation of the Hawaiian people under
the Hawaiian Homes Act. We en-
dorse and commend the work already
done by the Hawaiian Homes Com
mission under the act and particular
ly commend the wisdom shown by the
commission in the thorough prepare
ton of the lands under its jurisdic-
ton prior to the opening of the same
for settlement. We believe that the
