The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-06-30

The House began business with the
report Of the Printing Committee that
House Bill No. 8, the six months ex-
pense bill, had been sent to the Gov
ernor for his consideration.
Vida, still after Public Works scalps,
produced the resolution printed below.
In explaining it he said that 2S3O bar
rels of cement had been purchased
during the years preceding; 154 bar
rels had been drawn from the ware
house on requisition and yet none re-
mains. He thought there should be an
investigation and the House then pass-
ed the resolution:
Whereas, a large quantity of ce-
ment belonging to the Government mas
disappeared and is now not in the
hands of the government, nor is there
any record of any government work
done with the same
Therefore, be it resolved, that spe-
cial committee of three be appointed
to investigate the same and report to
this House what disposition has been
made Of the said cement.
WANT COOPER TO STOP.
Keliinoi got the floor next and with
out comment, the following resolution,
presented by him, was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring, that the Hon. II. e. Coop
er be requested to withdraw his resig-
nation, and retain the office Of Super
intendent of Public Works.
ATTACK ON CARTER FAILS.
Kealawaa, the wag of the House. the
man who has introduced most of the
humorous resolutions, then proposed
the new form of resolution aimed at
Secretary George r. Carter:
Whereas, the term of the Governor
will expire before the election Oh the
next Legislature; and
Whereas, this House represents the
sentiments and knows the will Of the
majority of the citizens of this Ter
ritory are dissatisfied with the manner
in which the affairs of the govern
ment have been administered in the
past, in that there has been too much
Capitalization and favoritism, and too
little attention paid to the will of the
people; and
Whereas, 1t Is generally reported
that the President of the United States
Is giving special consideration to the
name of George r. Carter as successor
to Governor Dole; and
Whereas. there is needed as Govern
or a man of sound judgment and one
free from factionalism in order that
political peace may prevail in the Ter
ritory and business prosperity pro-
NOTED thereby; and
Whereas. George r. Carter lacks
sound political judgment, is an offen-
sive factionist, and represents the GEN.
tralized system of government and
would continue existing factional and
partisan strife, therefore,
Resolved, That II is the sense Of this
/ House that the welfare OF the Terri
! 'orv would be retarded by the appoint
ment of George r. Carter as Governor,
and that his appointment would not
be acceptable to the majority of the
citizens of this Territory.
Resolved, That this resolution be
placed upon the records of the House
. and copy of II be sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States by the clerk.
The moment the resolution was read
Harris moved to table and the motion
prevailed with only four votes against
It, these being Vida, Paele. Kou and
Kealawaa.
