Page "Home Rule Party of Hawaii" Paragraph 4

The Home Rule Party proved to be ineffective in the Territorial Legislature.

During the period that they controlled both chambers of the legislature, chaos ensued.

They refused to speak English and debated vehemently in the Hawaiian language.

They attempted to pass bills granting blanket amnesties to native Hawaiian prisoners, tried to grant physician licenses to kahuna and tried to lower the US $ 3 tax on female dogs — a delicacy for some.
