ACT COMMISSIONERS

elected if the Organic Act provisions
are SO construed"
Judge Dole: DO you thing it would
be invalid if you had an alternative in
the Act, that if the Court decided the
Boards could not be elected, they
could be appointed?"
Mr.. Stewart: Yes, sir"
Judge Dole: 1.-THE fact of Govern
ment being in the alternative does not
make it invalid"
Mr.. Cooper: But it is not positive
legislation in either case"
Judge Dole: 1T is legal until one
feature is declared invalid. In that
case the other feature becomes valid.
I don't believe there is any danger of
an elected county board declared lille
gal under the Organic Act. The Ha-
wafian Government during the past
three years has construed that law to
mean that road boards for instance be
appointed by the superintendent of
Public Works. being boards whose
functions are restricted to their dis
tricts.'
Mr.. Cooper: 'They were subordinate
boards
W. O. Smith: Il have come prepared
some years ago in the matter of county
government, After working on the
county act of three years ago and two
years ago, attention was called to the
matter of what the real need of a
county government was. On visiting
each of the other islands on business
and meeting intelligent foreigners and
Hawaiians. it seemed to resolve itself

pie wished to have a voice in the Sc
lection of their local officers: (2) to
have the control of the disbursements
of the monies which were available for
the public use of the island; go a
recorders office: "a a district attor-
ney.
When we attempted the task of
framing full f1edged County Act suited
to the conditions in the islands we en-
countered great difficulties and the re-
suit was bill suited to circumstances
as much as possible
The experiment which we recently
had was not fair test of county gov
eminent. but at the same time the re-
suit was not encouraging, either to the
Hawafians or their white brethren. In
some parts of the islands there was dis
appointment TO people who had advo-
Gated this form of government. Since
this act has been declared invalid by
the Supreme Court the views of these
people have been greatly modified.
have said l was opposed to county gov
eminent then and am now. I said it
was premature.
However, having in mind ideas of
my own. l had drafted in my office a
form of County Government. the main
features of which were the, division of
the islands into counties; boards of
five supervisors to be elected in each
county. following the election plan now
in force: the election of certain other
officers such as the Sheriff, to have the
appointment of his deputies; the cleo
ton of a tax assessor to have the APP
pointment of his deputies; the cleo
ton of a district attorney. to be an
assistant to the attorney general; the
election of a county clerk to be record

a. whole day in the committee room OF
the Territories and the act was read
| The members praised portions of it, es-
pecially the portions which related to
safeguarding the officials and funds.
But you cannot get a big crowd of men
from different states with different
views about internal governments to
agree with you altogether. They do not
understand about conditions here and
soon the act would be loaded down
with amendments. Let your courts
pass upon the act. I think the local
Supreme Court would pass upon it
about the same as the United States
Supreme Court would.
IF you should send the matter on
to Washington 1 shall be glad to do
everything possible for you before
Congress within my power. think you
will find Congress willing to do what
it can for the islands"
APPOINT OR ELECT?
Mr.. Stewart presented the following
views:
The difficulty lies here: Under the
Organic Act can the people elect a
board of Supervisors? Some citizens
hold that under section 20 of the Or
ganic Act the power of appointment
lies exclusively with the Governor; and
there is a fear that the Supreme Court
may SO hold.
Now, while I believe that this power
applies exclusively to Territorial law,
if this commission should draw an act
providing that the people should
elect the Board of Supervisors and the
Supreme Court should decide that the
provision for election is in conflict with
the Organic Act then our act would
fail and we would loss County Govern
ment again. To such a result, 1 would
not like to be party.
The suggestion made tonight by w
o. Smith that the County elect a num-
Der of persons from whom the Gov
ernor would appoint is doubtful, be-
cause the provision would be nullity
in the sense that it could not bind the
Governor. His power under the Or
ganic Act could not be limited in this
way. No mandamus would lie against
him to restrict him to appoint from
this number; and the nullity of the
provision might affect the validity Of
the whole act; and the work of this
commission would mark another fall
ure in county government.
The suggestion by Mr.. RaWllnS at the
last meeting that we draw the provi-
sion in an alternative way that is pro-
viding for election and providing fur
Their that if the Supreme Court should
hold against election, then the Gov
ernor should appoint. is doubtful from
it's uncertainty. Legislation should be
definite and certain, and there seems
to be danger in the proposition.
The life of the Board of Supervisors
would lie in its method of creation If
that were held Illegal, it seems to me
that the whole board would fall, and
there would be no board for the Gov
ernor TO appoint.
1t seems to me that a way out or
this difficulty is this: Provide that
any section may be nullified without
carrying the whole out. then draw an

William Haywood, representative at

said he was born in Washington and
he believed the people there enjoyed the
best municipal government in the
world and he believed it would be the
model for all governments to adopt
He hoped that Hawaii would get the
very simplest form of government.
Il warn you against having too many
officers, because you have got to pay
for them. In Washington we have
three men called Commissioners ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, who conduct the affairs
of the City or the District of Colum bia.
Congress makes the laws and the Com
missioners execute them. We have the
most honest government; never have
strikes, have a fine police and fire de-
partment and l believe the taxpayers
in general believe they get a dollars
worth for every dollar they put in.
They are well satisfied with that kind
of government.

that gives the Legislature the right to
establish counties and thought we
should proceed under it,
Mr.. Emmeluth then made his sugges-
tions as to the act. He believed in Ho-
nolulu being made into a separate
county from the remainder of the is
land. He advised under that condi-
ton having the schools under local
supervision, but thought it most de-
sirabIe that the schools throughout the
remainder of the Territory be continued
under the present system.
He believed in Territorial Board of
Health, with the board made up of
members equally from each county.
LAS to our present system of public
improvements there is no business
proposition about it, there is no equity
about it. The man with the biggest
pull gets the most work.
LAS to the matter of expense under
county systems 1 have written to three
counties in each State and Territory
and to the Secretary of the State or
Territory of each for data and have
received 120 replies
Mr.. Emmeluth wanted severe checks
on receipts and disbursements.
Personally I am a crank" said Mr..
Emmeluth, On prOportlonate repreSen-
tation. I believe this community would
be far better off if we adopted pro-
portionate representation rather than
continue the present system of election
by parties. 1t would eliminate many
of the disturbing factors that now pre-
vail. We would also get better officers
than we now get. If we can arrange
proportionate representation the high
est ideals can be obtained. Otherwise
we will face an awful condition of
things. I don't want to see more graft
ing in this community. 1 think we are

THIEF CAME TO GRIEF.
Troubles OF a Farmer Who Tried to
Raise Melons Near Town.

There is farmer named Partridge
IN Sugar ward whose tribplatlons have
waxcd strong. In exact proportion to
the ripening OF a patch Of watermepns
near his residence.
The trouble started with occasional
thefts In the dark of the night by p6o-
pie who were satisfied with few green
ones The farmer did not object TO
these thefts, but left the melons to
work their own vengeance, a climax,
however, was reached a few nights
ago when the pick OF the crop dIsap-
peared leaving the patch by half a
hundred shy. The farmer did not want
a repetition OF losses on this scale, so
he loaded his trusty rifle With blank,
and stood guard through the whole OF
a night, and only got one shot. IL was
at party OF late plcnickers who
stopped In passing the patch, and tried
TO collect a few by way OF amusement,
They drove on unhesitatingly when the
rifle harked and the next night the
farmer slept I'm peace, feeling secure
from further attack But the thieves
came and the next day I'm the hardness
organized military company. Scout
ing duty was assigned to the eldest Tor
the first half Of the night. and to the
youngest the morning watch.
The first sentry went on post with
the darkness, and loaded his rifle with
a good charge Of fine salt. Then he hid
behind the largest melon in the patch
and waited Thieves did not break in
TN l o'clock came, and his tour OF duty
was up. Then he sought his younger
brother, and handed him the trusty
weapon, retiring to deep sleep with all
his melons accounted for Hardly had
the new sentry taken his post OF duty
when the samIl figure Of an American
boy came gliding over the fence, and
paused before the first big melon In its
path From another big melon a rife
glIstened in the star light, q report rang
out, and a boy fell back yelling, I'm
shot, I'm dead, I'm killed" Then he
found he could move despite his status
as dead one, and he lit out down the
road, pursued by the faithful sentry
and his big gun.
The boy has not yet reported at any
undertaking parlor, while the sentry
feels that he's a pretty good shot even
in the night, What the troops defend
ing the melon patch will load with next
time is not yet announced, although the
father and COMMUNICATIVE has the
situation well in hand, and does not in
tend to lose any more melons.
