Since annexation we have shared in all the burdens and responsibilities of American institutions. accepted the obligations of our proud estate as a part of the United States. and enjoyed the benefits that this great country confers upon its people. We have lived up to the letter and the spirit of our contract of annexation. We pay all the taxes and tariffs that Congress levies. The Immigration laws. the labor laws. and the coastwisenavigation laws apply with equal effect in Hawaii as on the mainland. We have in the past and continue in the present to take not our part but a disproportionate part in the military service of the United States. In other words. we are a loyal and a patriotic community under the flag.
