COUNTY ACT TEST CASE-NO SHOWING THAT THE
ORGANIC ACT WAS INTENDED TO GIVE HAWAII
POWER TO ESTABLISH COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The final brief in the county filed this morning
by Kinney McCanahan and Cooper giving
why the attorneys hold that unconstitutional 1t
conended in the that Congress intended
low an elective system OF county the islands, there
some interesting discussion Of the proposed system The
equalization added to the other boards this argument
one OF the boards authorized by law which the Governor should
make the appointments under the Organic The brief contains
the following:
AS pointed out in Dole Cooper Congress found these islands
with competent centralized government Congress realized
certain decentralization might be required and therefore

Was to be carried to the extent of eng large Boards the
islands merely be carried the giving

We submit the latter to be the natural construction in Sec

Some people believe centralized government
do not but the question here whether the

have believed in Hawais condition

States of the Union Is therefore reasonable believe that

its existence as a Territorial Office is
supposed to have expired.
Registrar Thrum will turn over the
books records and other property of
his department to county clerk II. E.
Murray, and c. S. Merriam will be
placed in charge, it is stated. The
force will be reduced. The bureau is
one of those under Kepoikai.
Treasurer Kepoikai stated this morn
ing that he had expected a decision
from the Supreme court in time so that
he would know definitely how to act.
When told that a decision was ex-
tremely unlikely he said he would
have to look the matter up and decide
what to do in the matter If he should
conclude to hold on much confusion
would develop, as the Territorial ap-
preparations for the various sub-de-
partments will all cease.
The supervisors held another meeting
this morning, to discuss preparations
for Monday. The matter of Iaukea's
bond was brought up and discussed at
considerable length. Supervisor Lucas
thought it might be reduced from $780,
Gilman was inclined to think that the
board would have to keep it up, to
fully protect the interests of the coun-
try.
1T hardly seems fair" said NJ P.
Robinson, when asked for his views,
Ito make the bond of the treasurer the
same as the assessor" Damons bond
has also been fixed at $3OO,OOO but in
stead of Iaukea's bond being reduced
that of Damon may be increased. The
treasurer will undoubtedly have in his
possession a much greater maximum
than the assessor. The matter was
passed without being definitely decid-
ed.
The salary of the district magistrates
was also considered. Gilman reported
that he had talked with Judge Dlckey
and with a number of lawyers. Judge
Dickey said that he considereds that
one judge could do all the work said
Gilman. "He also said that he thought
the y.cssnt salarY arrangement was
utterly absurd The salary of Judge
Lindsay is only one-half that of Judge
Dickey."
Hooking interpolated a remark about
Dickey's honesty, and Gilman said that
attorneys he had talked with mostly
agreed that one judge could do the
work. The matter was passed, with
the understanding that on Monday
Lindsay's salary VIII be fixed at $3.50
and the salary of Di key will be cut
out. Both judges are territorial ap-
pointees, but the county provides the
salaries.

Treasurer kepOikai
May Hold On Again
DOES NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE COUNTY GOV
ERNMENT ACT AND MAY REFUSE TO TURN THE
BUREAUS OVER TO THE NEW OFFICIALS-TERRI.
TORIAL BUREAUS PASSING OUT OF EXISTENCE

The new county officers expect to
take their offices on Monday next.
Twelve rooms on the second floor of
the Alexander Young building have
been secured by the supervisors for
county offices, and they will be occu-
pied at once. Territorial officials are
Expected to turn over such of their
bureaus as are taken from them by the
county act, but there is doubt as to
whether Treasurer Kepoikai will do so.
The treasurer said this morning that
he didn't propose to recognize the act
las law at all and would not surrender
any of his departments.
Hawaii is in the midst of another
Transition period" today. There is
an interval of four days, up to January
4, when neither one system of govern
ment nor the other appears to be in
fun force. Employees of the tax Of
flee, registrars Office and garbage de-
partment and numerous others are
without salary. Their pay stopped
with the end of December. The de-
partments are simply being carried on
as matter of course, until the super
visors a t. Some of the clerks who
are working now will be dropped by
the supervisors, and may never get
the four days pay at all. Those who
are retained will get a full months
salary from the county it is expected,
though the county will not be in con-
dition to employ them until next Mon
day.
High Sheriff Brown has already made
lis arrangements to carry the county
act into effect as far as he is concern
ed. On the island of Oahu there will
be practically no change, as Brown is
to be the county sheriff and will run
the department as it is, unless the sup
provide for changes. Brown
has written to mis- deputies on other
islands, however, instructing them to
turn over their offices to the county
The Territorial T lice depart
ment passes completely out of exist
ence.
THE county act is the law" said
the High Sheriff until /, is declared il
legal by the courts"
The tax office is ready for Iaukea, if
he qualities and if the treasurer decides
to allow to be transferred. Mr.. Iau-
kea may step in at any time as far as
1 am concerned" said Assessor Pratt.
The tax Office is practically at a stand
still being without blanks and other
documents for the year 1904. If anyone
had wanted to pay taxes today the Of
flee would have been in a dilemma,
for it is not yet county tax office and
