etc. The Government now has very
good buildings at Lahaina.
Rep. Kauhi-The introducer of the
bill is not a man without legislative ex-
perience, and neither are the two others
who have spoken. They all know that
proper time for discussion is second
reading, and on this point agree with
the introducer of the bill. am opposed
TO the bill but in favor of letting it take
its course We are not here to consult
the interests of the LAWYERS
Rep. Rosa-I rise to oppose motion
TO reject. think the bill emanates from
the Supreme Court and ii anybody I'M
derstands the case they do. l have
found in my practice and when | was
Acknowledgement that there were six
cases from Waikiki to one from Laha-
ina. 1t is known fact that the popu-
lation of Lahaina is decreasing daily.
Noble Baldwin-As Rep. Rosa has
intimated that the bill comes from the
Supreme Court | may as well say that il
does come from them, and that Difference
to them requires that the bill be care
fully considered. think the members
of the House will have the good sense to
send the bill on its course so / will not
discuss it further.
Rep Rosa-I had no information
from the judges but supposed it came
from them, as they have always fav-
ored it.
Noble Widemann-This bill has been
here not four times but eight times and
owed its i'll success to the warm opposi-
ton OF L. Aholo as member tor Lahaina
This law will give the greatest good
to the greatest number.
Noble j. NJ Horner-When practical
men get into difficulty they look around
and try to find the practical and cheap
est way out of it. What right has this
House to say where the people of Maui
shall locate their Courts? We are trying
to establish the principle of home rule.
Why can't we pass an enabling Act
according to which the people of the ISL
ands interested can fix the seat of Justice
Tor themselves?
Rep. kalua-The principle reason
mentioned by introducer is that Waikiki
has more population. But Courts are
fixed necessarily where population Is
greatest. Lahaina is more central
locality than Waikiki. l don't think
the fact that the Supreme Court favor
the bill makes any difference They are
paid TO do the work and must 60 where
the Courts are held.
Rep. White-As bill refers to my dis
trict, ought TO speak. Now that the
honorable noble has gone over to the
other side of the island and become rich
he wants to take away from US what
little We have Now We are going to
have a fine road, the honorable mem her
can drive over with his rich friends and
take q sea bath without fear of sharks,
because We have a good breakwater.
Lahaina is healthy place and the peo-
pie are good there. That cannot be said
of Waikiki, where mud is knee deep in
rainy weather. If, as an honorable
member has stated, all the criminals
come from Waikiki, that is q reason for
holding Court in Lahaina where an hon.
est jury can be obtained. Government
buildings in Lahaina, Jail, Court House,
ETC., will become useless. Government
building will become a dance hall or
worse, and the Jail goat pen, perhaps.
Two members here represent Lahaina-
Noble Rorner and myself. He thought
he would have to vote as the majority

a petition here signed by 500 native Ha-

in English and also special report on
the sewerage OF Honolulu.
Rep kalua wants to know how long
it will be before the native report is
ready. Thinks If Printing Committee

could have been printed quicker.
Minister Thurston said the lowest ten
der for printing the reports had been ac-
cepted, the same as with other reports.
1t was in the printers hands several
weeks before Legislature met
