WOULD ENJOIN
GOVERNOR DOLE
THE GEHRS MAKE FORMAL APPLICATION TO LAND
COMMISSIONER BOYD FOR THE KOHALA DITCH
FRANCHISE-BEINC REFUSED THEY WILL SEEK TO
ENJOIN THE AUCTION SALE OF THE FRANCHISE

Governor Dole has decided, 1t is
stated, that the Kohala ditch franchise
shall be put up at auction, to be bid for
publicly. This decision has been eX-
pected by the Gehr faction, which has
been seeking to secure a franchise on
an alleged agreement of two years
ago, and in view of the reported forth
coming announcement, they have be-
gun prepara tions to stop the auction.
A formal demand for a franchise was
made by A. c. Gehr on Land Commits
sioner f. S. Boyd, after the confer
ences with the governor. Boyd, who
has favored a public auction all along
refused the application, which was
only made as a matter of form and to
have a straight refusal from the gov
ernment. Gehr Is now said to be
prepared to enjoin the governor and
land commissioner from holding the
auction. The resulting proceedings
will be fought to a finish and the con-
test win probably be renewed at Wash
ington.
The franchise over which there has
been such a long dispute and is likely
to be controversy for much longer is
for a water ditch franchise believed to

be worth very large sum, but never
accurately estimated. There Is an
immense amount of water going to
waste in the Kohala mountains and the
engineers who have surveyed the
ground believe, that enough of it can
be saved to supply all the planta tons
and settlements within it's radius The
work of ditching will be a large and
expensive contract.
Probably hundred million gallons
of water every twenty-four hours can
be saved by the proposed ditch" said
Land Commissioner Boyd. IAN ac-
curate estimate would be very hard
to make. Much of the water in the
mountains must always go to waste, as
1t is too low to be carried to where it
would be of use, but certainly an inn
mense supply can be made available."
The ditch building will require sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, ii is
believed There are probably about
40 miles of ditching to be done, and
numerous gulches will have to be
crossed. These have all been surveyed
in a preliminary way. by some of the
parties interested and by the govern
ment.

years later, Congress having received from
the Const tuition authority to regulate
foreign commerce, laid an embargo upon
all commerce with France and Englan I,
thus prohibiting, instead Of regulating,
that branch of business. Without explicit
constitutional authority. public lands have
been given to corporations for trans

paper money has been issued by the United
States Government. In times both of war
and peace, although it is indisputable that
the Const It utional Convention of 1887 was
opposed to the exercise Of such Il power
by Congress. These are but instances Of
an extension Of authority that is becoming
greater with national expansion; an eX-
tension, indeed, that seems to have been
rendered illimAable in the case Of colonial

According to those decisions, the Constitu-

consider conducive to their best interests.

The most creditabe and valuable work
embodied in the present book will be found
in the chapters dealing with the Articles
of Confederation, superseded in 1850; with
the genesis of the present Constitution and
with the constitutional changes that have
been made since 1887 II will be remem-
bered that the Articles of Confederation,
adopted by the second Continental Con-
gress in November, l777, and referred to
the State Legislatures we're not TO become
binding upon any State until ratified by all
the States. Our actual Constitution, on
the other hand, was to become binding if
ratified by conventions in nine States, In
the case Of the Articles Of Confederation,
most Of the States gave their consent with
out much delay, but Maryland refused to
sign the Articles until her neighbor, Vir-
ginia, gave up her claim to a vast region
in the west which Virginia had considered
a part Of her domain. For this reason it
was not until 1887 that the first Constitu-
tional Union of the States was formed
1t should therefore be borne in mind that
during the greater part of the Revolui onary
struggle no formal union existed between
clared their independence of Great Britain
II has sometimes been denied that the
States we're severaly sovereign at the time
when they adopted the Articles of Con-
federation. The theory cannot be recon-
cilcd with the terms Of the instrument
which, in the third article, declared that
-the said States hereby severally enter into
n firm league of friendship with each other +"
In doing this however, each State claimed
to retain Its Sovereignty, freedom and in
dependence. and every power jurisdiction
and right which is not by this Confederation
expressly delegated to the United States
in Congress assembled, Other provisions
demonstrate that the trainers Of the Ari-
cles of Confederation contemplated the
creation, not Of a nation, but Of league
between absolutely independent sovereign
ties Each State was allowed to send 10
Congress from two to seven delegates,
who were paid ont Of the State Treasury
and might be recalled at will; but no State,
however large II might be, had more than
ono vote There was no separate Federal
Executive. Each year the Congress- Of the
Confederation selected n President for the
purpose of presiding over Its meerings
and COMMITTEES of one from each State,
which looked after the aifa - of the United
States when the Congress WAS not In Sos
sion
The shortcomings Of the Confederation
might have been partially corrected but for
the provision that there must he no amend

lated by the Philadelphia convention of
1877. when 1t declared that the new Con-
stitution. il ratified by conventions in nine
States should be binding upon those States,
