It argues office should reward duty and salary, not riches, warning that seeking fortune through public service leads to prison and disgrace, and condemns petty pilfering.
The writer laments that Hilo’s single public park is a railroad switchyard and criticizes centralized governance. Parks and railroads appear tangled as government offices in Honolulu dole out benefits. The piece urges competent Hawain leaders and questions the suitability of some voters.
Hilo and other papers attack Carter as the sole parallel in the department column. The Bulletin notes his administration stands without a parallel in Hawaiian politics and must be addressed as it unfolds. Governor Carter’s decisive methods could expose Hawaii’s system flaws to the President and Congress, potentially removing obstructions to progress and aiding territorial governance under Roosevelt, Carter, and Senator Mitchell.
The county bill may survive Congress and its opponents in Hawaii. Fruit growers of California and cane growers of Hawaii should honor Koebele for his work. Senator Mitchell has introduced bills and pledges to fulfill his word.
