GOVERNOR'S RACE

My letter seeks to caution Hawaiians and others who may support Ben Cayetano: 1. His insistence that Judge Healy's fair and just decision on Hawaiian ceded land issues be reversed is uneonscionable. 2. His dastardly withholding of ceded land revenues is proof that he is anti-Hawaiian. 3. The ongoing investigation of the Bishop Estate may be detrimental to its beneficiaries. The original charge of micro-management is now fair game to anyone against this benevolent institution. 4. The recent discovery of unethical transactions by members of his own party is an embarrassment, but the culprits will eome out smelling like roses. A good soldier will see to that. 5. The State of Hawai'i has rich assets. It controls most

land here. Revenues derived from these landsand excessive taxes we endure are enormous! In contrast, the trustees of Princess Pauahi's estate show yearly revenues of hundreds of millions of dollars, ensuring the education of countless Hawaiian children. Paui Lemke Kapa'a
