comply with the provisions of the Or.

4 Aiose we 70 make or assume to make
any amendments under this extra session
OF the Legislature to Act II of the Leg
isiature of the Republic of Hawaii
| This committee cannot understand how
any remaining bonds authorized to be is
SUED under the proyisions.of Act IS of the
Session Laws of 1898, and that never
have been issued, can now be authorized
70 be issued by the Legislature of the
territory of Hawaii, when the only
/ bonds so provided to be issued were for
! o-D years, and not as provided for by
the Organic Act. The special limit OF
| go would not, it is submitted, author
lie reducing of the term of the bond
to 5-15 years without a special amend
ment or an authorization from the au-
thorities provided by section of the
organic Act The reasoning of the At
| torney General is forcible and the law
may be as in his opinion contends for,
/ but where an issue of bonds and the
public is asked to subscribe and put up
| its money, there should be ground for
dispute or litigation; all such bonds
should be like Caesars wife-"above re-
/ proach. And as the loan in question is
authorized by an Act of the Republic of
Hawaii, and not by the Legislature of the.
| Territory of Hawaii, we deem it TO be
safer in order to save any questions as
70 the validity of the bonds, and prevent
any subsequent litigation of any kind. to
recommend that the appropriations set
forth in the Acting Governors message,
be Inserted in the Appropriation bill IN
der consideration by the Senate and not
as proposed in said message

AS will be seen from the above, the
report is directly opposed to the opinion
of Attorney General Dole as submitted in
message from Acting Governor Cooper.
Senator Baldwin then presented the
following report fro mthe Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry, which was
tabled. to be considered with the APP
preparation bill:
Your Committee on Agriculture and
items in the Appropriation bill under the
heading, Commission of Agriculture and
Forestry" from line 513 to line 524, in
elusive, beg leave to report that we
have had same under careful consider
alton
Item 513, which reads, "One-half ex-
penses and freight. entomologist, $1,000. y
is the same as the item in the last APP
preparation bill entitled ''IncidentaIs and
travelling expenses entomoIogist, $1,000
All the other items referred to your
committee, except item No. $50, are items
which have been heretofore in the APP
preparation bill Jumped under the head
ing of Forests and nurseries, general -
! Your committee consider it preferable TO
have everything under this general ap-
preparation itemized. as has been done in
the present bill.
Item go Competitive exhibitions of
fruit, vegetables. plants, etc. $1,000" The
plan is TO get up public exhibition here
of fruits, vegetables and plants of the
country, and we recommend the passage
of the same. ard also all the items re-
ferred to your committee. The sum to-
tai asked for is less than was asked for
under the last appropriation.
1t is the plan of the Commissioner of
Forestry to extend the culture in Nuu-
anu valley, a plan that your committee
hardly approves of.
Respectfully submitted,

Brown warmly defended the item, and
urged that it pass. Senator Russell
who was the only member of the hide
pendent party who advocated the pass
