Platform of Principle

 

OF THE

 

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY.

 

PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT AND CONSTITUTIOIN.

 

1. We deem that all Government should be founded on the principals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity; we hold that all men are born free and equal before the law and are endowed with inalienable rights to life, to liberty, to property, to the pursuit of happiness and to self-protection against arbitrary concentration of power, irresponsible wealth, and unfair competition. We believe that 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 systems; and, as the present 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 more liberal Constitution, to truly secure a Government of the People, by the People and for the people.

 

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY

 

2. Out of consideration for the inherent rights and present opinions of the native population, we dersire to retain the independence of the Country and defend its autonomy, under a liberal and popular form of government; but our Treaties with Foreign Powers, and yespeciall with the United State of America, should be revised, so as to better meet present necessities and to obtain more equitable advantages in exchange of those granted by na.

 

JUDICIARY REFORM @

 

3. 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 patisan spirit, 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 inaugurated, to abolish 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 escape taxation; we shall therefore demand the passage of laws that will more effectually subject the property of corporations and rich citizens to their just proportion of public burdens, while granting more liberal exemptions 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 assessment on valuation which should be in proportion to the fertility of 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 improvements without any further calls on the @@@@@.

 

MONOPOLIES

 

5. We shall use our 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, definite and mandatory statutes.

 

PUBLIC SERVANTS.

 

6. Better laws should regulate the Civil Service. The principle of the e@@tion of officers 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 @i@@ cures or superfluous @@@@@ abolished.

 

PROTECTION TO HOME INDUSTRIES

 

7. We are in favor of encouraging all home agriculture and industries, @@dali@@@ native products, like rice, coffee, wool tobacco, etc., should be protected 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 monies for the development of their resources and the @@@@@@@@@ of their @@@@@. In fact, the principle of local self-government should be extended, whereby giving localities may choose the most important of their local executive officers, and levy taxes for the purpose, local improvements of a public nature.

 

PROTECTION OF THE LABOURING CLASSES

 

9. We shall endorse all measure leading 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 conditions which will bring it into a ruinous and degrading competition with free Hawaiian or white labor. We shall also in the interest of the better protection of the poor, as for more liberation exemption of their property from forced sale on execution and from @@@@@@@ bankruptcy proceeding.

 

SMALL FARMING AND HOME @@@@@@.

 

10. The wealthy @@@@@@@@ of our population here @@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@ the developments of an @@@@@@@@@ of @@@@@ the public lands @@@@ @@@ required and have been tied up in a few hands or parceled to @@@@ @@@@@@@@@< and @@@@@ @@@@@ @@@@ @@@@@ @@@@ and by @@@@@@@@@ or @@@@@@@@ of @@@@@@@@; but no small farming is conducive to the stability of the State, it should go encouraged by a new and more liberal Homestead act, by wh@@@ the ownership of small tracts of land and the settlement thereon of families of our present population, –and @@@@@@@@@@@@ of the native Hawaiians who have been left almost homeless in there @@@@@@try--should be rendered possible. To that end, the Government and Crown lands, (in so far as can be done without invading vested rights) should be divided as soon as possible to @@@@@@@@@ and conferred upon hona-fida settlers free of taxes for a limited period.

 

It should be the further aim of government to, at once, so far improve @@@@ means of transport @@@@,–local, national and international,–as to provide, in all the districts, cheap means of conveying the produce of the soil to market.

 

ELECTORAL RIGHT.

 

11. We hold that upright and @@@@@@ @@@@@, and not the possession of wealth, arbitrarily fixed, should @@@@ the right to vote for @@@@@ as well as representatives, and no more power should be @@@@@@@@ to the ballot of the rich man than to the ballot of the poor man. The discrimination in @@@@@ of wealth now made in our Constitution is contrary to all that eternal @@@@@@@@ of right and justice and @@@@ @@ @@@@@@@@. To this end, we will favor a leveling of the @@@@ distinction of wealth and @@@@ which @@@@@@ @@@ @@@ with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby rendering to the native Hawaiians privileges which pertain to them @@@@ own country, and of which they have been unjustly deprived.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

 

12. We favor the expenditure of @@@@@@@@ @@@@ to secure a number of needed public improvements on Oahu and other Islands; school, @@@@@ and harbors and @@@@, public light, and @@@ a thorough system of reservoirs and water-@@@@@, not only for Honolulu, but through-out the other islands.
