Fifty-seeond Day.


Upon the House reconvening yester-
day afternoon. the following veto of
the Governor was received, read, spread
on the journal of the House. and by a
vote OF 10 to 4, sustained:
am unable to approve of the fol-
lowing item Of Act - OF the extra
session of the Legislature in 1908, be-
ing entitled "An Act making special
appropriations for the departmental
use OF the Territory during six months
| from July list, A. y. 1908 which will
end with the 3lst day Of December. A.
d. 1903"
"Kona orphanage, provided however,
that a quarterly statement Of the ex-
penses of the orphanage, and the num-
her of pupils therein be forwarded 10
the Superintendent Of Public Instruo-
ton, $1,000"
My objections to this item ar cas- fol-
lows:
1t is generally understood that the
Kona Orphanage is a school. The pro-
vision of the bill in relation to this
item, in requiring a quarterly state
ment of the number OF pupils in the
Kona Orphanage to be forwarded to
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, recognizes the orphanage as
school. II is not a government school
nor is II under the exclusive or any
control Of the government; It is clear
/, therefore that. as a private school, II
is excluded from government assist
ance by the limitations OF legislative
power set forth in the Organic Act,
Section So. as follows: Nor shall any
public money be appropriated for the
support or benefit OF any sectarian, de-
nominational or private school, or any
school not under the exclusive con-
troll OF the government"
therefore return herewith the aCts
above referred to for your considera-
ton OF this item.

The House next took up the Consid-
