CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, or opinions expressed by our

Our Savings Bank.

Mr., EDITOR: The Kings message to
the Legislature, referring to the Govern
ment Savings Bank, is an important
item, and should have prompt attention
nv our lawmakers, for it must be adj
mitted that the bank is a weak concern
as at present organized, though perfectly
safe at present, being backed by the
Government. But the Government may
fall into extravagant hands, and from
present indications the deposits in few
years will be large, and the Government
using the money without depositing Sc
curity is very liable to, in fact will, get
the bank into trouble. The bank must
in course of time have considerable de-
posits drawn from it daily as we'll as de-
posts made, and Withdrawals some days
will far exceed it's deposits, and it is not
unlikely that few enemies could and
would start a run upon the bank, and as
both the Government and the bank
would most likely be short at the same
time, the bank would have to "sus-
pend" thus disgracing itself and the
Government, as we'll as mountaineering
if not distressing its depositOrs, as it may
De mOnCnS before the Legislature COulb
meet to give them relief.
The proper thing to do, in the absence
of something better, would be for the
Legislature to authorize a Government
bond prepared of various amounts from
$50 upwards, and bearing per cent.
per annum interest. This bond should
be deposited with the bank at 50 per
cent. OF it's face value as security for the
money already withdrawn from the
bank, as we'll as for all hereafter taken
from it, and the interest should be
promptly paid. This would be business
on the part of the Government, and it
would enable the bank president or
superintendent to enter the money mar
ket with these bank securities and sell
or hypothecate them for ready money to
tide over difficulties the bank IS sure to
meet with sooner or later, as, even with
the above named bond, it has no power
to sustain its own life, although pro-
lOnged existence would be assured by the
bond.
What should be done is this: The
bank should be made business institu-
ton so as to be benefit to business as
we'll as to the Government. 1t should
have an independent existence (respon-
sible only to the legislature, with power
to preserve its own life, which no bank
at present existing has power to do.

A CONTEMPORARY PARALLEL
The Veto In the United States-What
a Senate Committee Considers its
Dangerous Exercise.

Senator Dawes of Massachusetts, on
June 28th, submitted to the United
States Senate report of the Committee
on Pensions upon eight vetoed pension
bills, the merits of which the report dis
cusses in detail, and the passage of
which it recommends, the objections of
the President Notwithstanding. Among
other things, the report says:
"Since the 9Th day of May, 1886, no
less than 136 special acts granting pen
sions to individuals have been disap-
proved by the President. These dis
approvals were based, in great major
ity of cases, upon the expressed opinion
of the President that Congress has erred
in it's judgment upon mere questions of
fact. 1t is, of course, impossible for the
President to examine the mass of docu-
mentary evidence upon which each case
depends, and which is invariably signed
by the committee. It follows, there
fore, that when he disagrees with Con-
gress upon the questions of fact in these
cases, his judgment must be based, not
on the reports OF the committee, in which
the facts are always stated with sufficient
fullness, but upon the report of some
subordinate in the Bureau of Pensions
This bureau, the action of which Con-
gress has reversed, is thus enabled
to review the action of Congress by
the express direction of the President.
This method of consideration is an
abridgement by the Executive of the ex-
ercise of the right of Congress to waive
that straight proof which is refused in
ordinary cases in the departments.
Usurpations move rapidly in repub-
lies from small objects to those of greater
concern. That the power exists in the
Executive to disapprove any legislative
measure cannot be denied, but the duty
undoubtedly also exists that it shall net
be used in such manner or upon anv
occasion or preteXt so as to make its
exercise operate as an encroachment
upon powers of the other departments of
the Government. The right to so use
the power of executive disapproval as to
change the ordinary method of legisla-
tive action by majority vote upon
proper subjects of legislation merely be-
cause the Executive differs from Con-
gress upon the sufficiency of proof or the
expediency of relief, does not, in the
opinion of your committee, exist.
% Such misconceptiOn of the extent
of executive power, making it limitless,
is fraught with danger to the indepen-
dence of Congress and to its constitu-
tional powers, and it certainly implies
that factious or usurping President,
who proposes to subordinate the will of
that department to which the Constitu-
ton has confded the principal powers
OF government, can rightfully do this,
and so prevent the will of the people
from taking statutory form except bv
two-thirds vote of each House OF Con-
gress."

Another Defense of the Hamakua As
SCISSOR.
Nh. EDITOR: In the GAZETTE of the
18th inst. is communication from
Honokaa, commenting on the appoint
ment of native as tax assessor, in de-
tense of whom would like to say few
words. 1t is very evident from the tenor
of FReform s" letter that he has cause to
object to the native who was appointed
to the position, as he had very earnest
desire to secure the place for himself.
He is one of the select few in Honokaa,
who, when they find they cannot have
their own way about things in general,
set up howl. The native in question,
instead of being without learning or
address, is on the contrary a man of
both, and whose only fault is in being a
native. He has been a teacher on this
island and is we'll thought of by all who
know him, and if all the appointments
made would give US as honest and up
right men,I know your subscribers will
not be disguised, as they would have
been had the late royal visitors to
Honokaa been in Honolulu in time to
keep their promise. Rub some people
with the hair and everything is lovely,
but rub them the opposite way and you
can hear their screech for miles. The
taxpayers of Hamakua are to be con-
graduated on having secured the serv-
ices of KaaikuahiWi, and on having
escaped the sOrehead who signed him

THE Supreme Court gave its answer
yesterday to the questions propOunded
by the House on the 18th. The ques-
tions were as follows:
1. Has the Legislature, under the Con-
Stitution, power to enact a law, making it
unlawful for any person to carry on any
trade, business or occupation without a
license, and giving some designated person
or body absolute discretionary authority
TO grant or refuse TO grant said license, or
2. Can the granting or refusal to grant
such licenses be based upon the recon-
mendation of a specified number or pro-
portion of the legal voters of any district?
The Court answered both these ques-
tons in the negative. The importance
of this decision is not likely to be over
estimated, and the full text of the opin-
ion, which has been ordered translated
and printed, will be awaited with gen.
eral expectation.

In another column we publish an ex-
tract from the report of the U. S. Senate
Committee on Pensions, referring to
eight vetoed pension bills. The report
is not, in our opinion, valuable one,
but it bears on our present situation and
may prove interesting and suggestive on
that account. The President has two
thirds veto, which Mr.. Cleveland has
literally exercised, and which it is in
tended the President should exercise,
because he is the constitutional repre-
sentative of the people, deriving his
power from them as directly as any

The Report of the Senate Committee
is, however, significant, because it shows
that even in a country like the United
States, where the veto power is exercised
by a representative of the whole nation,
it is yet possible for a Committee of the
Senate to intimate that its unrestrained,
although technically legal, exercise is a
violation of the true intent and spirit of
the Constitution. If the language of the
committee be applied to our own situa-
ton in these Islands, how appropriate
and weighty it becomes. The report
indicates clearly that the object of a
veto is not to review questions of fact.
The findings of the Legislature should
be conclusive on all such matters. So
much is probably true, even in the
United States. In Hawaii it is safe to
60 much further, and say that the will
of the people, whenever it has been
really expressed in the action of their
elected representatives., should never be
obstructed. This is not merely the most
just and satisfactory view, but where the
right of veto rests upon foundation so
precarious as it's foundation here, it is
the most prudent and safe view for the
Executive itself to take. We have
called the veto power here precarious
simply because it does not rest on the
popular will, and because it introduces
an element of conflict and uncertainty
into the Constitution itself. When a
Constitution contains a compromise of
inharmonious elements, the stronger are
sure OF final triumphs. Wherein the
strength of our present Constitution lies,
no one doubts. There can also be no
doubt that in a Constitution which ex
presses the theory of Ministerial respOn-
sibility, an independent, irresponsible
veto power is an utterly discordant ele-
ment If such a power, however, be
exercised as the Report of the Senate
Committee suggests, and as we have en-
deavored to indicate, its essential lack
of harmony with the rest of the Consti-
tuition will either be CLOSED over, or will
disappear altogether. Such an exercise
of the power will be at once the most
peaceable for the country and the safest
for the Executive.

member of the Senate or House. 1t is
because he does so derive his power that
he is granted veto power, which he is
expected to use. The Constitution of
the United States, happily or unhappily,
allows the Executive and the Legisla-
tive to be of opposite political parties,
and SO admits of the possibility of a
struggle between those two branches OF
the Government. Mr.. Cleveland's
Yetoes have not been due to the fact that
his party is not in a majority in the
Senate or House, but because he, rightly
or wrongly, believes that the reckless
voting of money for private pensioners is
a misappropriation of the public funds,
which it is his duty to check as far as
lies in his power.
