Representative Carl Smith Promotes Progressive County Government
Hilo representative Carl Smith urges a gradual move toward local self-government in Hawaii Territory by creating counties as political corporations. He proposes a two-county plan for the island of Hawaii, avoiding a full immediate election of county officers to prevent cost and upheaval. A brief bill to divide the territory into counties and grant powers is envisioned, with follow-up supplementary measures planned.
