Senator Brown stated that although
the population of Oahu had increased
n ore rapidly than the outer districts,
and its representation would be larger.
nevertheless the change should be made,
as provided by the Organic Act.
Senator Kalauokalani thought it was
too late to consider such a matter now
and it should be laid on the table to be
considered by the next Legislature, as
the Senate does not know what the CEN
sus is, and there would not be time for
committee to report, as suggested by
Mr.. Brown.
Senator j. Brown called attention to
the fact that the suggested reapportion-
ment only left one Senator for Kauai
and there would be difficulty in arrang-
ing who shouiu be the four-year Senator.
Kalauokalanfs motion prevailed.
Senator G. Brown was armed with am
other surprise in the following joint res
| olution:
Whereas, under section 50 of the Or
ganic Act, it is provided that seven of
the Senators elected at the first general
election shall hold office for the term of
two years only, the details of such APP
portionment to be provided for by the
Legislature; and.
Whereas, nothing has as yet been done
by the Legislature to apportion such
term of office; now therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the Territory of Ha-
wall, That the several Senator's elected
in the First, Second, Third and Fourth
Senatorial Districts, at the first general
election held in the Territory of Hawaii,
who received the lowest number of votes,
shall each hold Office for the term of two
years from the date of such election.
That for the First Senatorial District,
J. d. Paris and N. Russell, having re-
ceive1 the lowest number of ballots cast,

est number of ballots cast, shall hold
office as Senator for such district for
the term of two years.

Senator c. Brown stated that the bill
before the joint session of both Houses
was set for reading on the fifty-eighth
day of the session, as claimed by the
majority, and that day fell on Wednes-
/ day, one day after the session closes, &C
/ ccrding to Governor Dole's communica-
ton. He did not expect the resolution
to pass, but wanted something done. as
there would be trouble over the next
election. .If were the majority ]
would turn out all but one of the Repub-
licans and two of their number and let
| it go at that. I hope you will do that"

can Senators will come back here with
flags and drums beating. From my ex-

Senator Achi suggested that the mat
