Rep. Kauhi agreed with Noble
Baldwin that this was not the proper
time for discussing the bill The
lntroducer had stated that it wasn't
his private measure, and, although
the speaker was opposed to the bill,
he believed it ought to take the
usual course.
Rep. Rosa opposed the motion TO
reject. lie believed this bill came
from the Judges of the Supreme
Court. He knew from his own eX-
perience % an attorney and Attorney
General that the change was dcsira-
bic. The business was never de-
spatched satisfactorily at Lahaina.
A great many cases were nol!e pros'd
there. Appeal cases originating at
Lahaina were rare. Most Of the
| term business in fact came from
MakawaO, Hamalnapoko, and Wal
luku proper.
Noble Baldwin said as Rep. Rosa
had expressed the opinion that the
bill emanatcd from the Supreme
Court, he would say that such was
the fact although he doubted the
propricty of saying so at first. He
considered that out Of Difference to
the Supreme Court the bill should
be allowed to go to its second read
ing.
Rep. Rosa said he only supposed
the fact because the Judges had al
ways advocated the change.
Noble Widemann corrected the
statement that the measure had been
before the House four sessions. He
was sure it had been before the
Legislature for eight sessions. 1t
was always defeated by the strong
personal Influence of the former
member for Lahaina, the late Mr..
Aholo, who had STAYED off the in
cvitable. The change was bound TO
come as certainly rs anything in the
book of fate. 1t was for the greatest
good of the greatest number.
Noble j. Nj. Il0rner wanted TO
know whether this thing could not
he done more easily. What right
had few members Of this House to
say where the people of Maui should
hold their courts. They might pass
all enabling act, rs is done in Amer
lea sometimes, to permit the people
of Maui to decide this matter Tor
themselves. A similar course with
regard to other purely local ques-
tiOns on different islands might adj
vantageously he followed.
Rep. Kalua said the principal
reason given by the introducer wa.
that the population of Lahaina had
become diminished. Waimea on
Hawaii had only small population,
but it was central to populous see
tons. In the same way Lahainu
was centrally situated and therefore
the proper place for alternate terms
Of Court.
Rep. White felt he ought to sa,
something as the representative o
. Lahaina. The mantle of Mr.. AholC
had fallen on him and he wOulc
oppose this bill. lie was surprised
, at the hon. Noble, whose fathe
used TO live at Lallaina, for bringing
, in such n measure 10 deprive tina
place of one OF its few remaining
privileges. When the new road III
: intended to get from this Legislature
was built, Mr.. Baldwin and hi
= friends could drive over to Lahain'
4 in comfort. 1t was more health
G full place than Wailuku and tn
: breakwatcr kept sharks away from
8 bathers. He repeated the argumen
+ about loss in public property fror
4 the change. If most Of the offence
are committed on the other side
= there would be a great advantage l.
a getting impartial juries at Iahain
to try them. The hon. Noble fror
/. Lahaina, W. Y. Horncr, had toll
g him he would vote with the majorit
t of the House on the subject. Their
) would be a petition from the Distrit
c in a few days, signed by over 30
! natives who were opposed 70 II,
