ing laws relating to elections, and he
was of the opinion that if a proper com
mjttee examined all the proposed
amendments they might frame bill to
cover all the points Hon. S. B. Dole
from Lihue supported the motion, AT
present the laws concerning elections
were very diffuse and it requires consid-
cradle study to find out just what the
law is.
Hon. Palohau, from Hanalei, object
ed to the motion. He thought the
laws were we'll enough but that those
who administered them we're often
in fault G Mrt
His Excellency the Attorney Gen
eral was sorry to hear the member from
Hanalei objecttothe motion. Hethought
the motion was good one, and sug-
gested that the committee include
representative from each island.
Hon. Noble II. A. Widemann
agreed that the proposed committee
would do good work even if they did
no more than to bring together in
shape the existing laws. The Hon.
Noble indicated one or two points
which the Committee should con-
slider.
Uponbeing put to thevote the resolu-
tion was adopted and the President
named Rep. Castle, His Excellency
the Attorney General, and Rep.
Kaulukou, Dole, Hayselden, Aholo
and Wight as the members of the
committee.
| Hon. W. R. Castle from Wailuku,
presented resolution to the effect that
the committee on printing be instructed
to strike out from all bills the clause
making the act operative "on and after
the date of its passage" Also, to not
print acts simply repeating existing
acts The honorable member explain
ed that be wished to save the Govern
ment some expense In printing, and
that as, by law, all acts (unless other
wise provided) took effect, on Oahu
ten days, land on the other islands
thirty days,) after passage, the clase
mentioned was unnecessary: and in
the case of acts simply repeating exist
ing acts the members could get what
information they required from the
statute books.
His Excellency the Attorney Gen
eral hoped the motion would be voted
down. All the expense that would be
saved would be the printing of one or
two lines in each bill, and that was not
. worth considering.
The motion being put it was lost.
