PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT AND CONSTITUTION.

 

  1. We deem that all Government should be founded on the principles of Liberty. Equality and Franternity; we hold that all men are born free and equal before the law and are @nd wed with inalienable rights to life, to liberty, to property, to the pursuite of happiness and to self-protections against arbitrary concentration of power, irresponsible wealth, and unfair competition. We believe tha just government exists only by the consent of the People and that when it becomes necessary for the public welfare, they may abolish existing forms and establish more advantageous and equitable system; and as the present Constitution af the Hawaiian Kingdom ever 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 secure a Government of the People, by the People and for the People.

 

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY

 

  1. Out of consideration for the inherent rights and present opinion of the native population, we desire to retain the independence of the Country and defend its autonomy, under a liberal and popular form of government but @@ Treaties with Foreign Powers, and @@special with the United States of America, should be revised, so as to better meet presen@ necessities and to obtian more equitable advantages in exchange of those granted by the us.

 

JUDICIARY REFORM

 

  1. Our Judiciary system and Code of Procedure must be submitted to a thorough revision, so as to secure a cheap and prompt administration of justice free of all sectarian or @@@@@@ spirit and to tender the Judge 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

 

  1. A more just and perfect system of Taxation must be @@@garated, to albolish the present inequalities, by which the property of the poor is excessively taxed, while much of the rich man’s goods are under valued for assessment or entirely escapes taxation; we shall therefore demand the passage of laws that will more effectually subject the property of corporate @@ and @@@ citizens to their just proportion of public burdens, while granting more liberal exemptions to the poor and as a means to discouraging the looking up of large tracts of uncultivated lands, a differential tax should be @@@@@ in addition to the usual assessment @@ valuation which should be in proportion to the fertility of the soil.  We shall also favor the establishment of a graduated income tax, and th@@ expect to obtain ample funds for conducting the government and attending to all necessary publick improvements without any further ca@@ on the masses.

 

MONOPOLIES

 

  1. We shall @@@@@@ efforts to obtain laws by which all favoritism in the government and all monopolies, trusts and privileges to special classes shall be rendered impossible by full definited and mandatory statutes.

 

PUBLIC SERVANTS

 

  1. Better laws should regulate the Civil Service. The principle of the @@@tion of others of the government by the people should be established, and no man should be allowed to hold more than one office of profit, whilst salaries should be adequate compensation for the services rendered. All excessive salaries should be reduced and all @inecures or superfluous offices abolished.

 

PROTECTION TO HOME INDUSTRIES

 

  1. We are in favor of encouraging all home agriculture and industries and our native products like rice, coffee, wool, tobacco, etc. should be protected and fostered by propert tariff regulation and also it must be the duty of the Government in it contracts and other operations, to give preference to national products over imported ones.

 

LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT

 

 

 

8. We desire a more liberal poliy 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 satisfaction of their wants. In fact, the principle of local Self-government should be extended whereby giving localities may choose the most important of their local executive @@@@@@, and levy taxes for the purpose @@@@ improvements of a public nature.

 

PROTECTION OF THE LABORING CLASSES

 

9. We shall endorse all @@@@@@ tending to improve the condition of the working classes and consequently without injuring any vested rights, we will advocate laws to prevent all further importation or employment of contract labor of any kind, upon condition which will bring it into a ruinous and degrading competition with the free Hawaiian or white labor. We shall also @@ the interest of the better protection of the poor, ask for more liberal exemption of their property from parcel sale or exemption and from seizure in bankruptcyproceeding.

 

SMALL FARMING AND HOMESTEADS

 

10.  The wealthy fraction of our population have hitherto prevented the development of an independent class of citizens, the public lands have been acquired and have been tied up in a few hand of parcelled to suite favorites, and small farmers and planters have been driven out by corporations or combinations of capitalists but @@ small farming is con@@@@ to the stability of the State, it should be encouraged by a new and more liberal Homestead act, by when the ownership of small tracts of land and the settlement thereon of @@@@@@ of our present populations-and especially of the native Hawaiians who have been left almost homeless in there country-should be rendered possible.  To that end, the government and @@@@@lands, in so far as can be done without invading vested rights, should be devoted as soon as possible to homestead and conferred upon bonafide settlers free of taxes for a limited period.

           

            It should be the further aim of the government to at once, so far improve the means of transport then-local, national and international as to profide all the districts cheap means of @@@@@ing the product of the @@@ to market.

 

ELECTORAL RIGHT

 

11.  We hold that @@@ght an @ @@@@ manhood, and @@@ @@@ possession of the right to vote for nobles as well as representatives, and no more power should be a@@@@@@@ to the balloted rich man than to the ballot of the poor man. The discrimination in favor of wealth now made in our Constitution is contrary to all the eternal principles of right and justive and must be abolished. To this end, we will favor a leveling of the present distinction of wealth and classes which blemish our laws with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restroign to the native Hawaiian privileges which pertain to them in their own country and of which they have been @@@@@@ deprived.

 

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

 

12. We favor the expenditure of @@@@@@@@@ sums to secure a number of need@@ public improvements in Oahu and other Islands. Schools, railroads and arbors and wha@@@, public @@ght, and also a thorough system of reservoirs and water works not only for Honolulu, but throughout  the other Islands.
