sUPT. CooPER's LETTER.
Honolulu, May 4. 1908.
To His Excellency, Sanford B. Dole,
Governor of Hawaii.
Sir:-From a brief study of the
County Act, which has just been pub
lished, it occurs to me that there are
many questions somewhat difficult of a
satisfactory legal determination, with
out a decision of the Supreme Court OF
the Territory, and believing it to be foI
the best interests of the people thai
| these questions should be decided at an
early day, 1 submit herewith my views
upon the subject.
The Organic Act established a Gov
ernment for the Territory of Hawaii
consisting of the Legislative. Executive
and judicial Branches, defining the du-
| ties, powers and responsibilities of eacn
The Legislature of the Territory has
no power to modify or change the form
| of Government established by Con-
gress. It has the right in several in
stances to modify the duties of officers
The executive powers of the Govern
ment are vested in the Governor, who
| is appointed by the President. by and
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate of the United States.
Other officers who are assigned to du-
| ties as members of the Executive
! Branch of the Government, are the
Secretary of the Territory, Attorney
General, Treasurer, Commissioner OF
Public Lands. Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Forestry. Superintendent
of Public Works. Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, Auditor. Deputy

took recess to 2 D. m.
Immediately upon the reassembling
of the House the bill appropriating
$20. 900 for session expenses was passed
second reading.

he was not aware of the restrictions
against sales to aliens. The claim was
referred to a special committee COM
posed of Messrs. Harris, Long and Ke-
liinoi.
MORE MONEY FOR PRINTING.
Secretary Carter notified the House
that he would be unable to print all the
laws passed by the Legislature and the
appropriation bills to be passed by the
extra session, with the small balance
still in his hands, and he therefore re-
quested an additional appropriation of
81, 900.
The Senate informed the House that
the Senate had adopted the report of
PRODUCTION of appropriation bills. and
that the unpaid bills appropriation had
been passed. The latter was at once
passed by the House on first reading
The conference committee then re-
ported the matter of the order of bills
being the same, but the provision for
apportioning loan amounts being
changed so that the counties shall have
sums distributed on the basis of the
taxable property in each.
Harris moved to adopt but Chairman
Fernandez of the Printing Committee
moved that the report first be printed

BILLS ARE ADVANCED.
The committee then introduced the
Loan appropriation bill and the six
months current account bills, both of
which passed first reading. The cur
rent expenses bill was then made the
order of the day, as the bill has been
printed already. Paele took exception
to this course saying that this House
had no knowledge of what the last ses-
sion had done.
Speaker Beckley said that would be
misuse of public money, and no matter
what the Senate might do the House
would not countenance such waste
Speaker Beekley asked if any mem
