Turn Down the Bus,ness a, en-.

The Independent says: But as to the
opposition of the business element to
County Government. They see their
hold upon affairs slipping away from
them into those of the people, where it
rightly belongs, and it is that they
don't want to lose. Col. Iaukea gave
the right ring when he said that ''it
was the sentiment of the Hawaiian
Government here because they
people that there should be County
looked upon it as something that had
been given them in place of the inde-
pendence they had lost" We must
second him in this expression for pop
ular rule must, sooner or later, take
the place of rule by few, and that
few the business community. In this
is their opposition to popular control of
affairs, and they are seconded by the
insincerity of the Republican party,
whose death warrant is now about
sealed.
The business community much prefer
the present form of centralized gov
ernment and they, as a rule, are
strongly opposed to decentralization,
for in the latter they see their waning
influence over affairs. heretofore,
they've had most of the say. but here
after popularity must prevail in our
local affairs. This country was sold
for naught by the business interests
| without the popular consent, and in
return for our loss of independence,
the people demand that they must and
shall rule, and that day is surely COM
| ing. If we can't get it at home, we
hope to get it away from home, and
then what will be said when it is shov-
ed down our throats, whether we like
it or not. 1t will be bitter pill, but
annexation was wanted, not being con-
| tent with what we then had, and we
are bound "to get it where the chicken
| got the axe"

period from July !, 1908. 10 December

June seth, 1905, and the Supreme Court.
in the case of In Re Robert Boyd, 18TH
Haw., ...., decided December is, 1903,
held that, in doing so the legislature
acted within it's powers, and could so
divide the biennial period for which It
must make appropriations.
The so-called eighteen months bills
failed to provide, among other things
for the maintenance of the Judiciary,
Tax and Police Departments, as well
as the majority of the Bureaus under
the Public Works Department. They
can in no sense be called appropriation
bills" providing for the payments of
the necessary current expenses of car
rying on the Government and meeting
its legal obligations as the same are
provided for by the then existing laws. y
The word failure" in Sec. "a, above
quoted, is not qualified in any way
and l do not believe can be limited III
it's meaning. 1t must mean failure
from any cause whatsoever, and GER
tainly there has been complete failure
on the part of the Legislature in regard
to passing bills for the purposes above
cited. These bills, having failed in the
particulars pointed out, must the Gov
ernor recall the Legislature for the pur-
pose of enacting new appropriations for
the departments omitted from said
bills.
Sec. "a provides that "the Governor
shall call the legislature in extra ses-
sion for consideration of appropriation
bills" This has been done. The sec
tion also provides that until the legis-
lature shall have acted the Treasurer
may, with the advice of the Governor,
make such payments. for which pur-
pose the sums appropriated in the last
appropriation bills shall be deemed 70
have been re-appropriated.' The clause
until the legislature shall have acted
refers to the time during which this en-
traordinary use of past appropriation
bills may be made.
The legislature has been called, ac-
cording to law, and has failed to act.
Under these circumstances 1 am of the
opinion that the clause, permitting
prior appropriations to be made use Of
applies. This clause is intended to pro-
vide for the very contingency now fac
ing the Government.
Sec. 81 requires, and is mandatory
upon the Governor to call the legisla-
ture in extra session. 1t does not,
however require the Governor to con-
tinue calling the Legislature in extra
session, for the consideration of appro-
priation bills. In order to test this

.F0RTIFY HAWAII,
DEFEND CABLE

The need of promptness in fortify-
ing the more important ports in our
insular territories, which has recently
been pointed out in these columns, Is
clearly recognized in a communication
transmitted to the House of Represen-
tatives by the Secretary of War. In
this communication Mr.. Root presents
supplemental estimate of $2526, 100 to,
be included in the Army Appropriation
bill, the purposes of which are fully ex-
planned as follows: "Defenses for Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam and
the Philippines are urgently needed to
protect the newly acquired territory
of the United States and Government
property to be stored there, also to pre-
vent interruption Of cable communica-
tion between San Francisco, the Terri
tory of Hawaii and Manila. This es-
innate is submitted with the object of
beginning the construction of these de-
fenses at once at such insular locali-
ties as are now the property of the
United States or may become so before
the appropriation is exhausted, and of
acquiring additional land needed as
sites for defenses of the Territory Of
Hawaii. Army and Navy Journal.

DECREE IS
NOW FILED
Chief Justice Considers
Experience Gained
Valuable.

The decree following the County Act
decision was presented by Messrs. Mat
thewman and Hemenway and duly enter
ed in the Supreme Court yesterday. Be-
fore its presentation Chief Justice Frear
on being informed of an impression
abroad that county oircers had some
standing as such until the decree was
entered, said:
"The decree makes no difference. 1t
is not the decision that makes the Coun-
ty Act void The Act is void of itself
and nothing done@by virtue of it can
be legal"
The Chief Justice mentioned that, in
his researches on the case, he came
across a decision where a law au-
thorizing the issue of county bonds was
found null and void, after the bonds
had been issued and current four years.
tice Frear added. "We have gained a
great deal of information for future
guidance from the experience"
He considered that, in proceeding "a
new, county government might best be
attained through several measures COW
ering the different related subjects.
Following is the form OF the decree:
In the Supreme Court of the Territory
of Hawaii October 1903 Term. Ter
ritory OF Hawaii VS.. Supervisors of the
County of Oahu Quo Warranto.
DECREE.
This action having come before this
court on appeal from decree of the
First Judge OF the Circuit Court of the
First Judicial Circuit, dated December
24tt, 1908, wherein it was held that, not
withstandng any matter or thing in the
petition stated or set forth, the respond
ents are qualined and legally authorized
to perform the duties of Supervisors of
the County of Oahu in conformity with
the provisions of Act 81, of the Session
Laws of 1908, entitled "An Act Pro-
viding for the Organization and Gov
ernment of Counties and Districts, and
the Management and Control of Public
Works and Public Institutions Therein;"
and
This Court having considered the rec
ord and the argument of counsel:
1t is hereby ordered, adjudged, and
decreed that the decree appealed from
is reversed, that the respondents are not
entitled to the Offices which they claim
as Supervisors of the County of Oahu,
and that they are hereby forbidden to
act as such Supervisors.

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 10. 1904
To His Excellency Geo. r. Carter, Gov
ernor, Territory of Hawaii.
Sir: In regard to the question refer
red to me, as to what course the gov
ernment should pursue in regard to ap-
propriations for the ensuing eighteen
months, in view of the decision by the
Supreme Court, declaring void Act 81 of
the Session Laws of 1903 commonly
known as the County Act, and in view
of the fact that the abolishing of coun-
ties threw back upon the Territorial
Government the entire burden of gov
erning the whole Territory of Hawaii
as previous to the establishment of
counties, and, further, in view of the
fact that the appropriation bills for the
ensuing eighteen months. as passed by
the legislature in extra session, failed
to provide appropriations for carrying
on the Territorial Government. as II
was prior 20 the enactment of County
Law, and to provide for the necessary
current expenses and the meeting Of
the legal obligations of such a gov
ernment, / would reply as follows:
The Congress of the United States,
as evidenced by the Organic Act, un-
doubtedly intended that the Executive,
in carrying on the Government of the
Territory, should not be hampered by
a recalcitrant or neglectful legislature,
or a legislature which might have
honestly intended to do what was right,
but through ignorance or error so act
ed, in passing appropriations, that the
Government would be forced to come

vides:
THAT in case of failure OF the legis-
lature to pass appropriation bills pro-
viding for payments of the necessary
current expenses of carrying on the
government and meeting its legal OBJ
legations as the same are provided for
by the then existing laws, the Governor
shall, upon the adjournment of the leg
islature, call 1t in extra session for the
consideration of appropriation bills, and

in the last appropriation bills shall be

this act shall take effect, shall he

Home Rulers Would Appeal.

The Home Rule executive committee
has decided to appeal from the decision
of the Supreme Court on the County
Act. Curtis Iaukea informed the com
mittee that he had promises of funds
to carry the appeal to Washington, and
Judge Whiting will probably be secur-
ed as counsel. The three Home Rule
members of the Board of Supervisors
have been advised rs TO the wishes of
the committee and it is said will follow
the advice. There was some doubt eX-
pressed yesterday as TO the right of
three supervisors to appeal without the
consent OF the majority, although it Is
thought that this can be done. The
Republican Supervisors are opposed to
an appeal and tying up the country's
affairs for an indefinite period.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
Nearly everything OF interest here to
Hawaii is waiting upon the session OF
Congress which meets day after to-
morrow. The last two weeks have been
weeks OF general inactivity. No one
has been applying himself to tasks, we'll
aware that all the departments OF the
government were in no mood to con-
slider much business seriously, unless it
be OF most pressing importance.
By the end OF the coming week the
Senate will probably have settled down
to long, hara night over ratification OF
the Panama Canal treaty. This is ex-
pected TO be the last stage in the ex-
haustive proceedings OF many years,
which will lead 10 immediate construc-
tion ,of the great ditch, in which Ha-
waii has no little interest. 1t can be
stated with no little certainty that the
treaty will be ratified, President Roose-
welt, as soon as the treaty is ratified, will
appoint the canal commissioners and

all the circumstances TO have the dirt

If he refuses to pay the warrants is
sued by the Auditor, the government
will be blocked, unless through relief By
the Legislature, or action upon the
County Act by Congress, both of which
contingencies an effort is being made to
avoid.
The Attorney General is the legal ad-
wiser of the government, but Kepokai
hasn't been given to following his rul-
ings in the past, and If the Treasurer
develops a contrary streak he could
probably enforce the calling of special
session.
Treasurer Kepoikai while on Maui is
sued orders to the tax collectors on each
of the islands to take charge, and he
said yesterday that all of them had
complied. Governor Carter also sent
kilograms to the various assessors to
the same effect.
Deputy Assessor Holt may be ap-
pointed assessor for Oahu to succeed
Assessor Pratt, although no action has
been determined upon as yet. There
was some talk that Iaukea would be
appointed to the place to which he had
been elected, but friends to whom Ke-
poikai has talked since his return, say
that the Treasurer is too good a Re
publican to do that. The Treasurer can
only appoint with the approval of the
Governor, and it is likely that the Ter
ritorial Executive Committee will have
something to say as to who will fill
the place.

KEPO|KAPS OPINION OF
OLD APPROPRIATION BILLS
Treasurer Does Not Believe 1901 Law is Good
But Will Probably Pay on Six
Months Basis

| mo, I don't believe the old appro-
priations can be used to carry on the
Territorial government" said Treasurer
Kepoikai yesterday. BY old appropria-
tions the Treasurer means those of 1901
for he is reported to have already sig
nified his willingness to pay those of
the six months bill, which removes
the last difficulty in the way of car
rying on the Territorial government
without a special session of the legis-
lature.
Treasurer Kepoikai returned from n
weeks vacation on Maui, having been
granted leave of absence for that length
of time by Governor Carter
II don't care to be interviewed on
Sunday" said the Treasurer to an Ad
vertiser reporter on the wharf yester-
day afternoon. "Come up to my Office
! tomorrow and will give you my con-
tentions on the subject of appropria-
tions." e
do you believe the old appropria-
| tions can be used now?"
mo, the law is plain. My opinion is
that they cannot. 1 have not read the
Attorney Generals opinion yet. But
1 don't want to be interviewed on Sun
day. Why should l put myself out of
the way for the Advertiser"
Would the appropriations of 1901 be
available, or the six months bill?"
"The old laws least of any," replied
Mr.. Kepoikai.
"Then you will refuse to pay under
the old appropriations?
Il never said that"
Treasurer Eepoikai and Governor
Carter will probably confer today on
the question of appropriations after
the Senate has concluded it's delibera-
tions. The consent of the Treasurer is
necessary before appropriations can be
paid. The Organic Act provides:
THAT in case of the failure of the
legislature to pass appropriation bills
providing for the payment of the nee,
essary current expenses of carrying on
the government and meeting it's legal
obligations as the same are provided for
by the then existing laws the Gov
ernor shaU>alpon the adjournment of
the legislature, call it in extra session
for the consideration of appropriation
bills, and until the legislature shall
have acted, the Treasurer may, with
the advice of the Governor make such
payments for which purpose the sums
appropriated in the last appropriation
bills shall be deemed to have been re-
appropriated"
The Organic Act makes the payment
of sums under the old appropriation
bills optional with the Treasurer, and
