Has a Fresh
Plan.
,rrom Thursdays DailyJ

At Yesterdays session Of the Senate
Cecil Brown aroused the suspicion OF
the independents, which is not very
difficult thing to do, by proposing that
CONGRESS be requested To pass Ipai
bill providing for a loan OF SL5Oo"V'
and covering all the items I'm the GOV
ernor's last message.
The trouble started with the presen-
tatlon of message from the Actlhs
Governor Submitting additional esu-
mates Cecil Brown moved that con
sideration of the message be deferred
until such time as an appropriation
DILL framed on the lines laid down in the
message, should be introduced in the
Senate, The motion was seconded by
Senator Carter.
The reason for his intention to intro
duce supplementary appropriation
DILL, said Senator Brown was that, as
rhe Legislature had failed to pass
loan bill some action along the same
line would have to be taken.
The Attorney General had submitted
his opinion on the matter of loan
bill. which was to the. effect that the
Legislature in this extra session could
consider the loan matter. The Com
mite on judiciary had handed in a re-
mort on the Attorney Generals opinion
showing their opinion to be at variance
with that of Mr.. Dole and 1t would not
be wise for the Legislature to proceed
along the lines laid down in the Attor-
ney-G Generals report when there was a
likelihood of it's being contested.
Senator Brown said the Territorial
Government could frame loan bill and
.,a,d tho same an to Congress to be con-
.iaarad az its next meeting in Decem-
her Hawaii would thus be freed from
rho dilemma which now threatens It
in rapard 70 finances. There was no
