Some hold that everything spoken or
read in the Legislature is part Of the
proceedings, others that they consist
only Of the transactions that are re.
corded in the journals. For myself |
maintain that the meaning Of the Act
Is that the entire business OF the
Houses should be conducted in the
English language Yet so long as the
same law allows member to be
cleCetd TO the Legislature with knowl.
edge Of the Hawaiian language only, |
believe in having the Hawaiian Ian.
guage used in the Legislature.

The Beer Bill.
The Governors veto of the bill to
license the retail Of malt liquors was
next read.
Senator Achi spoke in Hawaiian
without being interpreted.
Senator Cecil Brown said that at
first he was in favor of pOstpOning the
consideration OF this veto. but now
thought the sooner it was disposed Of
the better There were some valid
objections in the Governors message
against the bill. But they could pass
that bill over the veto and immediate.
ly pass a bill to meet the objections
of the Governor There were some
people who bcliey<d that the Governor
did not want this class of legislation
at all. that he was more of prohibit
zionist than a license man. He was
in favor Of passing the bill over the
Governors veto and concluded with
motion to pass the bill.
Senator Baldwin believed they could
pass an entirely new bill right straight
through which would meet the Govern
or's objections. He did not think the
Governor was acting as a prohibition.
list. He believed that there would be
less number OF licenses taken out
under this bill than under propd'
law. That clause permitting women
to frequent saloons was very objec.
tionable. by it bTOthels might be
maintained under cover OF beer Ii.

Reconsideration Prevails.
No ruling was made and the motion
carried.
AS the members present had not
changed in the meantime, 1t was easy
to surmise that the mover counted ON
a flop by Senator KaOhi. who had vot.

first instance.
Senator KaOhi did change his vote,
passing the bill over the veto by 10

Senator Dickey raised the point OF

Vice President Paris said the point
