the commissioners did not wish to stul@
tify themselves by sending in hap
hazard act to the legislature. He said
it was sure, anyway, to be shot full OF
holes, and therefore they did not wish
to turn over anything that might be
doubtful
Several members thought that the
act proposed could be passed by the
Legislature to go into effect, say in July
of 1905 instead of January I, 1906, and
in the interval between its assumed ap--
proval by the Governor and the date OF
its going into effect the Supreme Court
could decide which form was legal
elective or appointive-and the county
government could be put into action
without delay.
Mr. Watson stated that he was giv~
ing some thought to Emmeluth's former
suggestion to divide Oahu into two coun-
ties-Honolulu city as one county and
the rest of the island as another county.

Mr.. Stewart; Assuming that it is
possible for the Supreme Court to hold

OPPOSES HILo oLIGARCHY.
Mountain View. Hawaii.

July 27th, 1904.
Hon. T. McCants Stewart, member
County Commission, Honolulu, Ha-
wall.
Dear Sir: I wish to inform you in
time that the proposition of making the
whole island of Hawaii constitute one
county will be fought to a finish here
The Hi1o Board of Trade does not rep
resent the people of this island and
they will find it out very soon if they
try any such selfish game. They have
no reason for such an Internal pro-
paganda and their sophistry will be
aired up in good style.
I do not pretend to represent any
one but myself but know of too many
that feel like I do about this matter
to let two dozen selfish Hiloites OPP
crate a little oligarchy here. Three
counties on this island would be more
like common sense and not less than
two will be tolerated.
Yours truly,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-08-03

July 2Sth 1904
Mr.. T. McCants Stewart. Secretary of

hu.
Sir: In reply for your request for my
views on County Government Ques-
lions, will answer as follows:
1. Under the Organic Act, can a
County Board of Supervisors be elect
ed by the voters? Answer Il is doubt
full.
2. If the Organic Act prohibit cleo
ton, shall a County Act be drawn
providing for the election of Supervis-
ors by the voters and be submitted to
Congress for ratification.
Answer-No, For the sake of legal
safety. if for no other reasons. make
the Board appointive, and let Congress
alone if they will let US alone, and
avoid further delay in the putting into
effect local self government.
The law should provide that no more
than majority of the board shall be
of the same political faith. This would
make it non-partisan, in a measure.
3. Shall a County Act be drawn car
rying the Governors right to appoint
and Congress be requested to amend
the Organic Act so that the voters may
elect County Boards?
Answer as above.
4. Shall we base our county system
permanently on the right of the Gov
ernor to appoint all county boards?
Ans.-Do not try to do anything per
manentIy''
Bear in mind that one Legislature
cannot bind those following.
s. Shall the County Act provide for
county control of education. health and
4 roads, bridges and wharves?

YET UNCERTAIN ABOUT
COUNTY SUPERVISORS
= ID L u =.

Ans.-Most assuredly. Why not?
Permit me to further recommend that
there be no county auditor, but that
the Territorial Auditor, or his deputy,
be required to visit each county three
or four times each year to check up the
books and that new and effective sys-
tenn of Territorial bookkeeping be
adopted.
That the expenses of Circuit Courts
be made Territorial charge, in order
to guard their administration. so far
as possible, from political control and
turmoil
That we recommend the immediate
taking effect of the County Act. To
begin with, let the Governor appoint
the Boards of Supervisors and for the
first year and until an election can be
held let said supervisors appoint tn.
other county officers. If county gov
eminent is good thing why not have
it at the earliest possible moment, say
April 1st, 1906?
Very respectfully.

Honolulu, Aug. 2, 1904.
H. E. Cooper, Esq, Chairman Com
mission for Framing County Bill.
Sir: In conversation after adjourn
ment Of your last meeting, Mr.. Watson
of the Commission suggested the pos
sibility of framing the County Act, pro-
viding for County Commissioners or
Supervisors, without stating the meth
Cd of their selection; then in a separate
bilh to be passed after the County Bill,
provide for their election.
1 would further suggest that if the
Commission deem s'Ich a course desir-
able, then an early determination of
the issue might be obtained by enjoin-
ing the Governor from ordering an cleo
ton of County officers on the grounds
that so far as Supervisors are con-
cerned, the Governor has the power
of appointment, and the decision of the
Supreme Court would determine the
matter with the least expense to the
inauguration of County Government.
L enclose provisions to be incorpor-
ated in the bill for granting franchises
to be operated wholly within the Coun-
ty, also provision for initiative and
referendum.
Again Offering my services in any
manner that may expedite your work
and realize the hopes of the Americans
in this Territory, L am

boards by the superintendent Of Public
Works might seem to indicate that
boards of local public nature are not
included within The meaning of Sec
ton so but it seems to me. that sucn
supposition is not proof that the law
does not mean Whit it expressly says!
? 1 do not feel that our County Act
as a whole should be submitted to Con-
gress for ratification. I doubt whether
Congress would undertake the task Of
minute local legislation TO that extent.
It would certainly be slow in getting
around 20 Il
g. should answer this question in
the affirmative. 1t has many advan-
tages in its favor. some of which do
not appear upon the surface, but which
any one acquainted with the nature Of
our local electorate can readily appre-
ciate. The short time I have before
the mail leaves presents my going into
the matter at length.
f. Most decidedly not. Such a sys-
tenn would practically leave the gov
eminent as centralized as now. with
local agents not answerable to the peo-
pie and every inducement to serve their
own ends in county affairs.
s. Yes, in so far as may be under the
Organic Act. 1t is in these matters.
il seems to me, that the real benefits
Of local self government exist.
Yours very truly.

nothing could possibly prevent the
