thing needed by the churches today ana
that worship should be not listening 70 a

ministry Of the membership should ne
the ideal of the church.

TO be remedied by the creation OF local

Referring 10 the recent defalcations
on the part OF officials in the 'ssnis the
committee says;
sATURNAIIA OF DEFALcATIoNS.
There has recently been a perfect
saturnalia OF defalcations involving the
administration OF Gov. Dole In cloud
and enshrouding his name In maze of
embarrassment The committee crit
icizes sharply the present system which
requires no bonds from persons engaged
in Judiciary positions. 1t is the opinion
OF the committee however. that IL would
be unjust TO attahc any blame on account
OF these Official Irregularities TO Gov.
Dole
Your committee recommends such leg
isiation as will compel every public Of
hcer. both federal and territorial. who has
control of public funds. 10 give suf-
ncient bond TO cover any and all delin-
quencies" 2
The committee finds that Queen Lii
iuokalani had no personal interest In the
crown lands which have been claimed for
her, but only an official interest during
her reign.
