THE BANK MONOPOLY BILL AND

The transparent and impudent at
tempt to capture the Hawaiian Gov
ernment and the commercial adyan-
tages of the country through the
Bank Monopoly Bill, cannot fail to
wake up the Government at Wash

nationality. 1t is not likely that a
measure which will tend to put the
Government under the control of II

other business interests, will be

The proposed directors of the pro-
posed bank, may, for ought that ap-
pears to the contrary, change their
own council, their residences, their
officers annually according to their
own bylaws, so that possibly the
undertaking may come to be worked
by board of absentees, represented
