TO the Supreme Court.
When Judge Humphreys was In
Washington, United States Attorney
General Knox asked his views as to
the necessity for the appointment OF
an additional Judge for the First Judi.
cial Circuit OF this Territory. This
lature had recently passed an Act pro
viding that there should be such an
additional judge.
AS to the recent Act" said Judge
Humphreys in communication on the
subject addressed to the Attorney
General. my opinion Is that Il Is In.

lation.
Section G o5r the Organic Act pro.
Vides that the legislative power OF the
Territory shall extend to all rlghtful
subjects of legislation not inconsistent
with the Constitution and laws of the
United States locally applicable. It
would seem that other portions Of the
same Act, not merely locally appli.
cable" but expressly enacted to be of
local application, are inconsistent with
the power attempted.
1T seems to me where Congress has
passed an Organic Act, which stands
in the relation of u Constitution TO the
Territorial Government of Hawaii, that
Government has no power to make
provision for the establishment, or.
ganizatiOn or modification OF the
courts so established. Only the power
which establishes has the right TO
modify. II the Territory OF Hawaii
can change the organization of the
Circuit Court, as established by Con.
Gress In adopting the existing judicial
machinery OF the former Republic, by
providing one additional Judge, II has
of course the right to provide a hun
dred additional judges.
"lnasmuch as Congress has acted
in providing for the establishment OF
Circuit Courts on the basis of the
courts then existing In the Islands
