The session of the territorial Iegis
lature of Hawaii now drawing to a close
does not impress the citizen of the
mainland Of the United States as d vely
profitable exhibition of legislative cap
ability.
There are reports from the islands of
partisan political squabbles, much time
wasted in fatuous discussion, and bad
~ constructed and specifically CON
sidered bills rushed through the legis-
iature in the closing hours of the ses-
sion. Indeed Governor Dole, in an
swers To request to prolong the ses-
sion for 30 days, has rather tartly re-
piled that the collection of Hawaiian
legislators has been wasteful of time
and money and that he has no con-
hdence that an extension would result
in any Improvement.
AT first blush this incident appears to
furnish a most excellent opportunity
for many persons to arise and remark,
II told you So" Such observations
might naturally be expected from per-
sons who hold that democracy and po-
pular government are unsafe play
things for any but Anglo or en-
thusiastic Frenchmen.
But a close inspection of the Ha-
waiians in Legislature assembled, doing
politics and dividing on racial lines
shows that the insinuation that alien
races or mixtures of Kanakas, Chinese
Portuguese and Anglo-Saxons are not

OUR BRILLIANT START
HAWA1IS LEGISLATURE SEEN
FROM AFFAIR.
Opinions Expressed in Various states
Of the Work Of the First Territorial
Lawmakers

Mainland comment upon Hawaiis
brilliant first legislature rs quite plen-
tiful Much Of il is in a vein of sar-
casm, the Lady Dog Legislature SEEM
ing to hit the tastes OF the humorists
most Following are some of the
views expressed by editorial writer's in
various states:
The blessing of civilization are grad
ually beginning to percoate through
the political veins of Hawaii. There is
every evidence that the Legislators, the
executive and officials generally are
showing great precocity in grasplng the
opportunities that association with a
great, free and enlightened republic has
presented to them. The end of the first
Legislature has come in what might
be called a blaze of glory, if the aver
age American law-making body is to be
the ideal which the benighted Hawai-
ians are supposed to keep before them.
In the first place even without the
aid Of a senatorial contest, the .legisla-
tors succeeded in doing practically
nothing in the way of necessary legis-
lation. In addition to this they were
able to get into quarrel with the gov
ernor, who in turn refused to grant
them an extension of their session.
mus it viii be seen that the new gov
eminent has already established itself
behind the two principal buttresses of
advanced American political life-Ofii-
cial do-nothingness and interolfical
cantankerousness.
But this is not all that Hawaii has
accomplished. Having safeguarded
their newly found civilization with
these Indispensable requisites, they
have gone on to add a decorative super
structure of typical enlightened Am
erican plan. The Legislature has pre-
| ferred. charges against the governor,
and athe executive has made accusa-
tio1isfagainst the w-makers. A mem
orialS has been passed by both houses
telling the president that Governor
DoleShas impeded legislation and now
refuses to grant an extra session. The
memorialists suggest that If the extra
session cannot be got conveniently any
other way, they would not object to
| the governors removal. Mr.. Dole, or
his part, says that the chief reason
why he did not let the legislators keer
in session was because there were toe
| many of them pocketng brides. on
| the question of bribery he has started
little investigation of his own, and
the circuit judge is about to call a
| special grand jury to probe the sub
| ject.
| When one takes into consideration
| that this is the first attempt of the
HaWaiians at enlightened self-govern.
| ment II must be admitted to be a mos
| brilliant start. After more than a cen.
! fury OF experience and advance there
are only few states in America thai
can Guido this dazzling record. Ameri.
can statesmen will have to hustle II
| they want to keep pace with this
! thrifty little island-The Salt Lake

Caustic remarks upon the foiblcs ana

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-05-29

Governor Dole's refusal to grant any
extension Of the session of the Hawai-
ian Legislature is based on the ground
that the Legislature has been wasting
its time and also money of the insular
government. He will, however, call
special session and confine it to work
on the appropriations which have in
eNcusably been delayed From a bust
ness viewpoint the first session does
not seem to have been a glittering sue
cess. The causes Of the failure are
evidently mixed. Antagunism between
the whites and the natives going back
to the overthrow of Liiuokalani, is one
reason for it. In legislative efficiency
it is too early to pronounce the Assem-
bly, an irredeemable failure in view of
the shameful records made by so many
of the Legislatures in the states of
this country.-Springfie Republican

During the session of their first
Legislature, our new fellow-c citizens,
the Hawaiians, have been treated to
an object lesson in the blessings of
civilization which they are not likely
soon to forget.
According to a letter from Honolulu
the peoples representatives have ig-
nored all the important matters of
Legislation which it was universally
recognized confronted them at the out
set and have spent their time in frivo-
lous debate and disbursing money. A
preliminary appropriation for expenses
was exhausted in a few days, and an
other one was about to be passed when
the correspondent closed his letter
IypeWriting has cost the two houses 50
a page, proof-reading has been paid for
at the rate of 80 cents a folio, and
every bill passed has cost SO a page
before il reached the Governor.
Among the important bills exhaus-
lively discussed by the members was
one which reduces the tax on female
dogs from So to 81. Such measures as
eXempting personal property from
execution, abolishing compulsory vac
clnatiOn, imposing a tax of $40 a ton
upon sugar and fixing the price of fish
at NOT more than 10 cents pound have
been discussed for days, with and with
out result.
Finding themselves unable to com
plete the business within the time linn
tied both houses asked Governor Dole
to extend the session. He has fatty
refused to do so, but says he will call
the members into extra session as soon
as they adjourn and name the measures
which he considers should become
laws.
While the first session of the Hawai-
IAN Legislature does not promise much,
II must be remembered that the mem
Ders have not yet learned how to dis
tribute patronage nor how to fritter
away their time on worthless legisla-
tlon. The bill fixing the price of fish
at ~ cents pound, however, shows
what possibilities are before the Legis-
lature in the Sandwich Islands.
Laws regulating the price of things
have always been favorites with Leg
islatures. and no doubt the measure in
question was intended to interfere with
somebody's business in Honolulu and
so produce political revenue of some
Kind. However IT is in order to con-
graduate our new fellow citizens the
Hawaiians on their advent to civiliza-
ton AS they perfect themselves in the
art of legislation they will probably
nave occasion to congratulate them

ed and a third that she committed sui

the statement that Queen Draga was

death was caused by hysterical scene

the subject here. but it is generally be-

Gould Owns Midland.

George Gould is in the Colorado Mid.
land, despite his own emphatic denial
when in Denver recently. This fact was
brought out today at the annual meeting
of the stockholders whom these directors
wore elected:
Grenvilie M. Dodge, Edwin Gould,
Henry Bulge, Winslow s Pierce,
j Kennedy Tod, Lawrence Greer,
E. G. Henderson, r. T Jetfery,
George ]. Gould, Frank Trunbull. .
The election OF the directors also die
closed that Col. D. G. Dodge and Geo.
F. Peabody arc entirely out Of the Colo
RADIO Midland.
This revolution in the Colorado Mid
land undoubtedly means what will be a
complete revolution in the management
OF the property. Early in December
Frank Trumbull will be reelected presi-
dent. He will probably have the sole
management OF the road. Colonel
Dodge, who has been associated with
him in it's management, is retired.
The most important phase, in the
minds OF railroad men, is that the Colo
RADIO Midland has heavy Denver & Rio
Grands and Hartman interests: that
Gould is in practical control of the road.
Railroad men are wondering il this will
conflict with the Colorado law, which
prohibits consolidation or joint owner
