Platform Of Principle

Of The

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY.

 

PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT AND

CONSTITUTION.

 

1. We deem that all Government should be founded on the principles of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity: we hold that all men are born free and equal before the law and are and wed with inalienable rights to life, to liberty, to property. to the pursuit of happiness and to self-protection against arbitrary concentration of power, irreasponsible wealth, and unfair competition. We believe that just government exists only by the convent of the People. and ththat, when it beems necessary for the public welfare, they may abolish existing forms and establish more advantageous and equitable system: and, as the prement Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom never has had the approval of the People, but was established by intimidation and fraud for the benefit of a certain class, therefore we favor the adoption of a new and mor liberal Constitution, to truly insure a Governemnt of the People, by the People and for the People.

 

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY

2. Out of consideration for the inherent rights and presiut opinions of the native population. We desire to retain the independence of the Country and defend in autonomy, under a liberal and popular form of government. But our Treation with Foreign Powers. And yespeciall with the United States of America, should be reviered. no no to better meet present nerr@@itire and to obtain more equitable advantage in exchange of those granted by us.

 

JUDICIARY REFORM@

 

3. Our Judiciary system and Code of Procedure must be submitted to a thorough revision. @@ @@ to serure a cheap and prompt administration of justice free of all @@tarian or patiman spirt, and to render the Judges more directly responsible to the People; and we are in favor of a more liberal interpretation of Constitutional guarantees of the freedom of speech and the press.

 

TAXATION

     

4. A more just and perfect system of Taxation must be inauguarated, to abolish the present  inequalities, by which the property of the poor is excessively taxed, while much of the rich man’s good are undervalued for a@@rerment or entirely escape taxation; we shall therefore lemand the passage of the laws that will more effectually subject the property of corporations and rich citizens to their just proportion of public burdens. while grainting more liberal exemption to the poor; and as a means of discouraging the locking up of large tracts of uncultivated lands, a differential tax should be levied in addition to the usual aggrement of valuation, which @@@”d be in propotion to the fertility @@ the soil. We shall also favor the establishment of a graduated income tax, and thus expect to obtain ample funds for conducting the government and attending to all necessary public improvemnts without any further call on the ma@@@.

 

MONOPOLIES

5. We shall use our efforts to obtain laws by which all favoritiusm in the government and all monopolies, trusts and privilieges to special cha@@@ shall be rendered impossitle, by full, de@uite and mantatery matutra.

 

PUBLIC SERVANTS

 

6. Better laws should regulate the Civil Service. The principle of the @@rtion of affaiers of the government by the people should be established, and no man should be allowed to build more than  one office of profit, whilet @alarre should be adequate rempremation for the @arrires rendered. All exr@@dre @alarice should be rendered and all @ine curre of @u@er@u@@ eff@res abolished.

 

PROTECTION TO HOME ININT@IION

 

7. We are in favor of @urnur@@ing all home agriculture and @@t@@rira, and aliou@ native prulurta, like rur@ wood, tobacco, etc. should be predeeded and fostered by proper tariff regulation; and also it must be the duty of the Government, in its contracts and other operations, to give preference to national products over imported ones.

 

LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT

 

8. We desire a more liberal policy towards the different Islands of the Kingdom, outside of Oahu; they should receive a fairer proportion of the public moneys for the development of their resources and the natiatactirn of their wants. In fact, the principle of lorai, Self-government should be extended, whereby giving localities may choose the most important of their ocal executive officers, and levy taxes for the purpose local improvements of a public nature.

 

PROTECTION TO THE LABORING

CLASSES

 

9. We shall endorce all measure tending to improve the condition of the working chasses, and c@@@@quently, without injuring any veeted rights, we will advocate laws to prevent all further importation or employment of contract labor of any kind, upon comlitions which will bring it into a ruineous and degrading competition with free Hawaiian or white labor. We shall also in interest of the better protection of the poor, ask for more liberal exemption of their property from formal @@@ on axporution and iro@ @izarria bankrupicy prorrenling.

 

SMALL FARMING AND HOMESTEAD

 

10. The wealthy fraction of our population have hitherto provided the development of an independent class of residence; the public banks have been an@ndred and have been tied up in a @@ hands or ma@@lleal to unit @aren@@@ and small farmers and planters have been driven not by corporations or r@@@@tions of capitalists: but as small farming is relative to the stability of the @@@@. It should @@ measured by a new and more liberal Heamestead @@@. By which the ownership of small tracks of land the @@ttlr@ment therin of families of our @@@@@ population-and @@@@iall @@ of the native Hawaiian who have been left almost homeless in their country should be rendered possible. To that end, the Government and Crown lands (@@ so far as can be done wthout inrading rested rights) should be divided as soon as possible to homesteads and conferred upon bona-fide settlers free of taxes for a limited period.

            It should be thei further aim of government to, at ours, so far improve the means of transpotion,-loacl, matio=nal and international,-as to provide, to mill the dirstricta, cheap means of recoverying the product of the soil to makert.

 

ELECTORAL RIGHT.

 

11. We hold that upright and sound manhand, and not the possession wealth, arbitrarily freed, should  constith right to rote for nobles as well as representatives, and no more pweer should be awarded to the ballot of the rich man than to the ballot of the poor man. The dierrinaination in favor of wealth nor made in our Constitution in contrary to all the @rr@al principles of right and justice and meant to abolished. To this end, we will favor a @@@@ling of the premat distiartion of wealth and ria@@ra which blemish our laws with repect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restarng to the native Hawaiians privilages which pertain to than in their own country, and of which they have been majorly deprived.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

 

12. We favor the expenditure of @@@edent @@@@ to sereve a member of @@@@@ public improvements on Oahu and other islands: @@@@@, railroads and harbors and @@arvea public right, and @@@ a thorough system of @@@@@@@@ and not only for Honolulu, but through –out the other islands.
