SESSION
NEXT MONTH

A call for an extra session of the
legislature to tegin early in next
month, is expected to be issued al
most at once by Governor Carter. The
governor called the heads of depart
ments to conference with him at ele-
ven o'clock this morning and sent word
to members of the legislature that he
desired to see them. The members
expected to be called in session and the
subject is being generally discussed
among them.
A meeting of all the members of the
Legislature who are on this island was
called for by Governor Carter this
morning, the members to meet with
him at the Capitol building at two
o'clock this afternoon. The meeting is
believed to be a discussion with the
lawmakers prior to the issuance of a
call for an extra session, to begin next
month. Such a session has about been
decided on and it is said that the call
may be issued this evening, or tomOr-
row, if the conference with legislators
takes the expected lines.

the existing departments to the extent
which would interfere with the efflni
ancy of the government, but the cutting
out of some of the departments and in
creasing the efficiency of the rest. 1t
is of course possible to make cuts so
that our income will be enough, but it
would be at the cost of efficiency IN
government. There is no such word
as cannot in such a matter and though
we have cut a good deal over a million
we can still cut out 100000 or more to
make ends meet. But that is prob
ably not the best policy"
The Oahu members of the legislature
are nearly all in Honolulu and there
are several outsiders here among them
being Speaker Beckley and Senator
Dickey. The latter has declared a
gainst an extra session, while Beckley
is in favor of one, in preference to
cutting fixed salaries.
If the legislature is called it is
thought that Carter will send a mes
sage outlining in complete form policy
which the administration favors, of re-
organizing the Territorial government
on a basis of much smaller expendi-
ture. There will probably be many
consultations of bureaus.
