the Senate to delay Us and to pass
these several appropriation bills
Well, we can as we'll do the same
thing.
Chillipgworth said that what
Paele said ss to there being con-
ference was not 80 and that he did
not care what Achi said outside OF
this House. Whatever he has said
may have been done in his private
capacity and this House has no
right to take any notice of ii. But
we must act in accordance with law
il Kaniho wants money with which
to feed members.
While still speaking, Keliinoi
raised a point OF order, which was
that the report OF the committee
was being considered aud not mo-
tion to override the veto, The
chair then said that a verbal report
was made, which is not properly be
fore the House for consideration.
Only the bill was referred to the
committee, and Keliinoi replied
thot the veto was also referred,
which the chair refused to enter
tain, ruling that the point was not
we'll taken.
Chillingworth continued, and at
the conclusion, Keliinoi said that
both the Senate and House were at
outs. which should not be the case,
and urged that the veto be sustain
ed, to which Kaniho retorted by
saying-are we to be dictated to by
the Senate? 1t is better for us not
to 80 submit ourselves and let us be
at outs.
Then Kumalae started in by
quoting the Organic Act that each
bill must embody one object in its
title. He followed it by reading
the Governors proclamation calling
this extra session together, and
then quoted the title of the Ex-
pense Bill passed during the regular
session which the Governor approved
on March 2nd. But as to illegality,
the Governor himself hss done
illegal acts. Take for instance the
law creating Code Commission, it
provided that one OF the three COM
mis- sioners must be native Hawai-
ian yet the Governor appointed
three haoles. Tbs Governor an
Senate are virtually one, either OF
whom sustains whatever the other
does, but the House represents the
people.
He was followed by Andrade,
who said that many speakers have
ridiculed the Governor, but not one
argument has been brought forth
on the merit of the veto. Then he
broke out in native, saying 10 sub
stance that it was a shame for the
House with 30 members and the
Senate with Is. aud that they
weren't able to fnd out the
flaw in the Act, but it was left 10
that old man overhead to find it.
Then Pulaa said that he was the
father of this bill and that it is an
identical copy OF the bill for expens-
es of the regular session. As he ap-
proved that then, why did be not
approve this one.
On the vote being taken, the vet o
failed to be overridden by 16 ayes
to IL nays, and the Speaker an
nounced that the veto was sus-
tanned.
Andrade moved that the new bill
be taken up and read. A motion to
table the same was put and lost
and motion TO pass it On first
reading by title aud carried.
At this junc,ure, X aniho verbally
rendered his resignation, the Chair
ruling that he should make it in
writing. Then Fernandez sent up
a written resignation, and on being
read, Harris moved to refuse &C.
oeptance. Az this point, the House
was in co asternation, many not
knowing what to do aud there was
likelihood of al uprosr, when Ka.
