On motion the report of the weekly
statement of the minister of finance
was accepted and placed on file.
Referring TO the report of the post
master general. Mr.. Brown mentioned
that he understood there was per
son anxious to carry the mails daily
around the island at the rate OF 500
a month. This plan he thought
would add to the efficiency of the
service.
Minister Damon said he had not
heard anything officially regarding
the offer. but that notice would be
taken Of il as soon as it was pre-
scented.
On motion the report of the post
master general was accepted, to
gether with the report of the finance
committee.
MIR. Hatch, from the Judiciary com
mittee, reported a substitute bill re
lating to peddling. which places a
penalty of not less than 500 nor
more than $500 for peddlIng goods of
foreign manufacture in these islands
Holders of licenses for this purpose
are exempt from the effect OF the
law provided until the expiration of
existing licenses.
The bill was placed on the order
of the day for next regular meeting
The second reading OF the bill re-
lating to the powers and duties of
the advisory council was taken up.
Mr.. Brown moved the bill be laid
upon the table. He thought the bill
was entirely unnecessary, as the gov
eminent has inherent power to act
and therefore no special acts are
needed. The Provisional govern
ment takes the place of the former
legislature, the privy council and |
everything No special acts were
needed.
President Dole said it was an i'm
portant matter and should be care
fully considered, as passing the bill |
might limit the powers of the govern |
ment. which are free now.
Attorney General Smith said he |
did not understand how the act could |
limit the powers of the government |
or advisory council. While he ad-
mitted he did not think there was
any great necessity for it, he saw no
harm in the bill.
On show of hands the bill was
laid on the table.
The military bill was taken up at
section 81, and the report of the com
mittee thereon was adopted.
Mr.. Emmeluth did not think the
report altered the matter materially.
Mr.. Wilder said the object was to
meet an emergency. The commander
in-ehief should have the power to
remove an officer absolutely. When
an emergency arrived there was no
time to call a cabinet meeting. and
even if there was it might result in a
lie vote and delay necessary action to
he danger of the state.
Mr.. Hatch pointed out that the
section applied to the time of active
otherwise it could not be ex-
srcised No limitation should be
placed upon the commander-in chief.
He moved an amendment clearing up
he section and adding thereto.
Mr.. Emmeiuth said he had talked
With one of the persons who had got
Up the bill, and that he claimed any
would tend to derange
he military service.
