i the Hawaiian legislature, as it desig-
mates it as an existing corporation,
limited" presumably of the Territory
of Hawaii.
Mr.. Hill of Connecticut. Coming over
from the King.
/ Mr.. Rodey. And under the corpora
ton organized under that act it no
doubt has the limitations desired by the
gentleman from Ohio.
I Mr. Grosvenor, Now, this charter
came. from the King originally, and
you have undertaken to perpetuate the
powers of that special charter by this
special legislation.
Mr.. Rodey. 1 desire to say that
there is no Territory but what has a
general Incorporation law, giving per
sons the right to create corporations.
This power comes to the Territories
from the organic act of each
Mr.. Grosvenor. What does this char
ter say?
Mr.. Rodey. 1t is that way in our
Territory. The corporation would go
before city or county board and ask
for charter and put before those bod
les the information necessary to con-
slider in granting the charter The city
OF Honolulu perhaps, not being fncor-
porated, asked for this charter for the
corporation. That e1ectric-ligft com
pany is now in esse and is a CORPORA
ton limited by the general laws of Ha-
wall.
Mr.. Grosvenor. Now. what are the
general laws?
Mr.. Rodey. / am not Informed as to
that did not take much part in the
hearings on this bill before the House
Committee on Territories.
Mr.. Grosvenor. Exactly. The gentle
man is not informed as to what the
general laws are. stand here and say
that there is no limit upon the issue of
bonds. 1 ask the gentleman what the
limit of the organic law was, and he is
not able to state. / say that this is q
power given to it that would practical
~ enable it to control the entire future
legislation.
Mr.. Rodey. 1t is not 80 in our Ter
ritory, our general Incorporation con-
tains all proper limitations.
Mr.. Grosvenor. 1 was not talking
about the corporation act of New
Mexico4 was talking about this. 1t
is entirely apparent that here is one
of these corporations, and 1 was about
to proceed when the gentleman inter
rupted me to say that our policy has
been to get rid of just such things as
that.
We passed an act prohibiting the is
sue of everything OF this kind in the
Philippine Islands; we passed an act
prohibiting everything of this kind in
Cuba while we had military possession
of it; we passed an act preventing ev-
erything of the kind in Porto Rico IT
worked hardship for the time being,
but in the end it worked out a great
benefit to the people there. We gave
them an opportunity to rid themselves
of special franchises issued by Con-
gress.
Mr. Robinson of Indiana. VIII the
gentleman give US what amendment he =
would suggest? VIII the gentleman
give what particular objection he has,
so that we may perfect the Dill?
Mr.. Grosyenor. The serious objection
I have to the bin starts in the first
section and ends with the last line OF
the last section.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana Then he
would not grant any franchise

officers appointed for them by the
President of their own race. If the
House wishes to deny them that quail
ity of home rule it is in their power
to do so.
1 do not know more than about six
people who live there and have only
met them casually, and as we see them
before the committee they seem to be
good people and amply able TO protect
their rights, and certainly able to let
us know if the legislature that they
elected has been recreant or the ap-
pointed governor has abandoned them.
There are not many of the ruling class;
not many voters. The Orientals are
away on the plantations and the other
islands. The legislature met in their
city. For two months this bill was
before it, and for eight months the peo-
pie affected have been silent. No word
of protest has reached us.
Mr.. Grosvenor. 1 hope the gentleman
will not take all of my time in dis
cussing the race question.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana Now, if
it is the purpose Of this House to say
that these people can not have home
rule under the organic law, why, ev-
erybody is content; the Hawaiian Ter
confronted by a condition. Men who
have not government as our people en-
joy it seem. however, to be qualified
to protest If it is wise to do so. Are
We going to establish our system on
this evidence and decline to give them
the permission to do what they think
is best for themselves? What I would
know is whether we are going to give
faith to them and their established
authorities and their Establishments, or
shall we take the initiative and prs SIS
legislation on them from this central
point, with all the difficulties and per-
plexities that confront us when we as
sumo that their conditions are the same
as ours and when we consider the wide
space between US?
Mr.. Grosvenor. Now I will proceed
with my speech.
Mr.. Robinson of Indiana. I thank
the gentleman for the time he has
yielded me.
Mr.. Grosvenor. If there is anything
in the statement of the gentleman from
Indiana, it is this: Because the people
Of Hawaii or a majority of them are
Chinese. and other colored or disabled
or disqualified people. therefore we
ought to grant the monopoly to the
white people down there to skin" these
people out of whatever they may have
during the balance of their natural
lives and do it under the hypocritical
cry of home rule
Mr. Robinson of Indiana. The Chi
nese and Japanese are laborers who
work on the corporation plantations
outside of the only city. Honolulu, on
Oahu Island, and on the other six is
lands of the Hawaiian group.
Mr.. Grosvenor. There has been no
stronger argument made for my propoz
sition than that which the gentleman
has himself made. l am seeking to
give home rule. I want a provision
made under a general corporation act,
and this legislative body has the pow
er to grant it. The legislative body has
the power to make it and send it here
for our approval
Mr.. Rodey. This corporation is one
which was probably organized under ,
the general corporation act of the Ter
ritory, and that act no doubt provides
proper limitations on the electric com
pany; that is evidenced by the act of

years back the seventy boys and girls
