they amended it. The original Senate

IMPORTANCE OF DECISION.
One word in conclusion, MI. Nicola
nahan said, as to what h duty OF
the court should be, without presum-
ing that the court did not realize its
duty. They believed that the court
had the power to pass on the con-
s-titutionality of the Act. 1t was a
measure of great Importance to this
community. If the Act was invalid it
would come out some time and the
question might as we'll be settled now.
Attorney General Andrews agreed
with counse on the Importance of an
early determination of the question as
TO the whole Act. This was more i'm
portant than the point regarding the
powers of officials of the Government.

WENT o FAR.

Mr.. Davis resumed his argument
with a burst like hat of a released
safety valve. There was no escape
from the provisions of the Organic
Act. 1t gave duties and functions to
certain officers which no court and no
Judge could take away. There was no
oligarchical rule in the placing of the
High Sheriff over the sheriffs of
ties-a man who could not be bribed
or cajoled. There were dark places
in the great centers of civilization,
ostensibly governed by the people
though they were. It was not all
streets of gold in the big cities. Look
at the corruption in Minneapolis, st.
Louis and Seattle. There was no need
to abolish the office of High Sheriff
for the purposes of republican county
government, but on h contrary a
palpable necessity for the retention of
such an official.
States a the rights of s~elf-govern-
ment inherent in them, but Mr.. Nc
Clanahan had sounded the keynote of
mis- question when he quoted the
'Insular' decisions. Could the Legis-
lature by modification take away that
provision of the Organic Act that no
body could be imprisoned in this Ter
ritory for nonpayment of taxes?
Mr.. Davis concluded his address at
1920, when the court took the whole
matter under advisement.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-06-09

but suggested hat when the Organic
Act gave Hawaii the power to create
county government it meant that we
were to have counties with a republic
an form of government. The authori-
ties were overwhelming in holding that
local government was an inherent
right, one that did not require to be
placed in the constitution. "Cities
and countless he proceeded to read.
have the right to hoose their own
officers" The court would construe
the Organic Act to mean that, not
w-ithstanding it provided a Territorial
government, in granting the Legisla-
ture power to create counties it grant
ed the principle of local self-govern-
ment. ~

Judge Gear Takes

Evidence of Hackmen's
License Provision
lire eularity.
Does County Government in Ter
ritories Imply All That It
Does in States?

Argument in the County Act man
damus case was concluded at 1920
yesterday afternoon. Judge Gear took
the several distinct questions raised
under advisement. They include the
constitutionality Of the Act, it's legal
passage by the Legislature and, rela-
ted to the latter, the competency of
the evidence on legislative proceedings.
Speaker BeckIey and Clerk Meheula
of the House Of Representatives gave
evidence, amidst a running battle over
its admissibility, the substance OF
which was that the final passage Of
the bill by the House vas through
adoption Of the conference report on
a vote of ayes and noes The clerk
could not put his finger on the place
in the journal where h bill from
conference passed third reading
Speaker Beckley thought the hack
mems license claus never passed the
Legislature. President Crabbe n
Clerk Savidge of the Senate testified
to practically the same things as the
House officers. They could not say
that the hackmen's clause had passed
the Senate.
CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
nav GaneraI Andrews argued
that the Act was constitutional, COM
menting on the care the courts should
exercise in passing upon the constitu-
tionaIity Of enactments. Replying TO
Mr.. McClanahan's contention that the
creation of the Board of Public In
stitutions by the measure contraversed
the provision of the Organic Act which
made all public boards a~ppointive by
the Governor, the Attorney General
maintained hat this woul make OF
the Governor an absolute ruler and
there could be no election of officers
excepting members of he Legislature
There was a difference between boards
of indisputably Territorial jurisdiction,
such as the forestry and pharmacy
boards, and the Board of Public In
stftutions made up of various depart
mental officials. With regard to the
divesting Of the Superintendent Oh
Public Works of functions accorded
him by the Organic Act, he denied
that the County Act Invested any OIL
GERS of their constitutional powers
In reply TO a remark by Mechanism
that all the superintendent powers
were taken away, the Attorney Cen
eraI said there was nothing in the
Organic Act which said the duties or
an official could not be transferred TO
other hands. Stress was laid on lie
~nrovision of the Organic Act that GER
tain things directed by it might De
modified by the Legislature.
LEGALITY OF LEGISLATION.
Mr. McCIanahan in the afternoon at
tackled the validity of h Act on the
found that it had never passed the

were contrary to the Organic Act they
~ ia set aside. There was no third

PRINCIPLE.

Judge Gear said the Organic Act pro-
vided a system of Territorial govern
ment. 1t also by empowering the Leg
islature to create counties gave the
Territory power to place the election
and control of county officers in the
hands of the people. He read from
Cooley and other authorities to show
that local self-government was at the
foundation of the entire American sys-
TEN. Local government was a matter
of absolute right and the State could
not take it away.
Mr.. McClanahan called the courts at
tention TO the "Insular' decisions re-
lative to the limitations on self-gov-
eminent in the territories.
Judge Gear knew those decisions,

CANNOT GO BEHIND.

Continuing, the Attorney General
claimed that his original point was
correct, that the courts could not, UNI
der the United States decisions quot
ed, go back of the certificates of the
officers of the Legislature. That was
senate bill No. 1 and it passed three
times in the Senate and three times in
the House, and there were certain
made to it in conference.
The question put on the final reading
was whether that bill should pass as

Modification doe not mean extin-
guishment," he declared in answer TO
a remark from the court.
Judge Gear said an official might be
relieved of some of his functions.
Not to the extent of extinguish-
ment,'' the attorney replied. No,
they have not gone to the extent of
saying there shall be no High Sheriff"
MEANING OF COUNTIES.
Judge Gear asked what Congress
ment when it said the Territorial Leg
~islature might create counties.
Mr.. Davis said it meant the Legisla-
ture might provide county government,
but without -contravening any of the
provisions of the Organic Act.
Cannot the Legislature decide what
officers are to govern the counties ?'
the court asked.
They a do it, but not in a man.
ner to wipe out any of the provisions
Of the Organic Act, for that would be
placing the authority of the Territori-
al Legislature over hat of Congress-"
Mr.. Davis responded. They could nave
created counties without violating
the Organic Act. They had no right to
impair, destroy or diminish anything
in the Organic Act. They could have
left the High Sheriff in the County
Act and placed him over the sheriffs
of the different counties elected by the
people.

1t makes no difference to us WHIST
1T costs the Santa Fe to do business.
What we are interested in is what it
costs to do business on roads within
the state of Minnesota, and if that
cost car reasonably be reduced or if
anything reasonable can be done to
prevent its being increased, it should
be, and the people of this state should
have the benefit of it without regard
to people living in other sections of
the country.
An examination of the pamphlet
just issued by the general manager
OF the Great Northern to the train-
men, giving a full report of the cor
respondence and conferences between
him and the trainmen's committees,
shows that the employees have nothing
OF vital importance to strike for, that
all their reasonable demands have
been granted, and that to grant the
double-header proposition means the
paying out of money for nothing, ex-
cept to bind the bargains the train
men have made, with roads in other
sections of the country, and which
would postpone for an indefinite
period the reduction in freight rates
to which we are entitled.
1t should be further remembered
that, in case the principle contended.
for by the employees is once granted,
there is no knowing how far it may
extend, what other demands may be
made and which would. have to be
granted, and how much longer a re-
duction in freight rates may be post
