The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-04-10

Act so as to permit the use of both
Hawaiian and English by the Legis-
lature.
THE BEER VETO.
The Governors objections to the beer
license bill are given as follows:
"There Is no provision forbidding the
transfer of such licenses or of any in
terest therein;
women may frequent the licensed
premises, and receive and consume
liquor by the glass therein;
"The police should have at all times,
the right to enter the licensed prem
ises without search warrant and search
the same and take samples of the malt
analysis, and to take away any liquor
found in such premises that is not
permitted by the law to be therein;
1.-THE conviction of the licensee for
a breach of his bond or license should
forfeit his license. as we'll as the
amount of the bond;
1.-THE location of such licensed prem
ises should be subject to the approval
of the Treasurer and the High Sheriff,
instead of the Treasurer or the High
Sheriff.
There should be provision in the
bill which would prevent the location
of such saloons in the neighborhood of
residences"
The Governor also disapproves of the
section permitting the sale of malt
liquor within $50 feet of schools, re-
ferring to a protest from the Bishop
Estate trustees asking that no saloon
be located within half a mile of the Ka-
mehameha School grounds.
In conclusion the Governor says:
II would impress on your minds, in
dealing with this subject, the recog-
nized and established view of the Leg
islatures and courts of common law
in Intoxicating drinks is not within the
class of ordinary enterprises for profit
and not entitled to all of the considera-
tions which are conceded to such en-
terprises, but is regarded to some ex-
tent as a constant menace to the well
being of society, and is accordingly
placed by such authorities within the
police power of the state with such
other dangerous enterprises as the
manufacture and sale of explosives,
poisons, ETC."
THE LANGUAGE RESOLUTION.
In the veto of the Joint Language
Resolution, among other things the
Governor says:
Judging from the provisions of the
Organic Act, 1t was the fixed policy of
Act was passed, that legislative pro-
ceedings and judicial proceedings in
the upper courts should be conducted
in the English language. That this is
an important and reasonable require
ment of territory of the United
States looking forward to statehood,
goes without saying.
I'm the recent discussions in Con-
gress on the question of the admission
of the territories of Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood, much
was made in opposition to the bill of
the backward condition of the people of
Arizona and New Mexico, as to the
use of the English language and of the
fact that the conduct of both courts
and legislatures require the assistance
of interpreters.
II feel that the submission of such
request as is contained in the Joint
Resolution to the legislative and exec
utive authorities of the United States
ing of this territory before such au-
thorities upon the question of the adj
mission of the Territory of Hawaii as
a state of the American Union.
Moreover the allowance of the Ha-
waiian together with the English Ian
guage as a medium for the conduct of
delay legislative work and add to its
expense without any corresponding
public benefit"
