BN AHO VUNND OF NOTABLE TRIP BH BUSY WITH @MIH TAX GA WAS SAB
WILL NOT CASH ITS
WARRANT.
Attorney General Dole Says the Legis-
lative Session Had Expired by Linn
itations on May l.

4 Attorney General Dole has rendered
an opinion that the law which passed
the legislature last May, creating a tRx
Commission and appropria ting $1,000 for
The expenses thereof, is void. The OPT
MON was addressed to Treasurer Wright
who wanted to know about cashing
Warrants for the commission, and is as
follows:
fIn conformity with your request 1
have the honor to submit the following
opinion as to whether you would be JUS
titled in approving the vouchers for ex-
penditures made pursuant to House
Concurrent Resolution No. 5 adopted on
the 1st day or May 1901. and providing
for and attempting to create a commits
sion of five members of the legislature
for the purpose of investigating the
system of taxation and reporting upon
plans looking toward a reorganization
of the same at a subsequent session of
the legislature.
The first two lines of Section 43 of
the Organic Act declare: That each
session of the legislature shall continue
not longer than sixty days, excluding
Sundays and holidays
1.-THE legislature convened February
20. Counting the days on the calendar,
it had continued sixty days at mid
night April Goth, exclusive of Sundays.
During this time Washington's birth
day, February 22nd, interviewed. Fe-
bruary 22nd is not a statutory holiday,
either by the laws of this Territory or
by the laws of the United States, un-
less in the District of Columbia-al-
though by state or territorial law it is
a legal holiday in about three-fourths of
the states and territories. 1 doubt if
the word holiday, as used in the Orga-
mic Act, is limited exclusively to statu-
tory holidays; but to be a holiday with
out statutory enactment, the day must
be such by settled and general usage;
a day set apart for festivities, recrea-
tion or ceremonial, in which the ordi-
nary occupations of the community are
suspended generally and by common
consent. If a day can be a holiday
within contemplation of the law with
out statutory enactment, it must be
such by we'll esta blshed and general
usage.
IL seems to me clear that Washing
toms birthday has never been observed
in these islands as a public holiday to
an exAant which would make it such In
the absence of statutory enactment.
"If this is So on May 1st the term of
the legislature had already expired by
limitation of time, and the joint resolu-
tion passed on that day is a nullity."
Twenty-Five authorities are sited by
Dole in support of this view.
'If the foregoing premises are sound,
the question whether such joint reso-
luton would otherwise be valid is i'm
material.
Very respectfully yours,
"E. 7. DOLE,
Attorney General"

fendant had been unable to tell where
he lived and as he was in a bad state

him. johnson testified in his own be-
half.

Johnson.

intoxicated. Were you drunk?"
why certainly not your honor. You

Yes. No. 1 guess So" replied the
defendant.

'Well you see Judge" resumed John

and 1 got into a hack and that kanaka

station and told them to lock me up
and they did. 1t was an outrage high

ordinary case however and fine you 81
and costs"
Here the people come over from the
other islands to spend their money,
exclaimed Johnson, land you go to
work and put them in Jail, its "a
shame"
Johnson paid his fine however and
departed with a few pints of holdover
