Republican members OF the House

resolution for the appointment of a
County Act Commission was introduce
ed by Organic Act Dave" but that
was downed by a strict party vote;
and then Begging Chief of Maui
sprung another one, virtually of the
same tenor and purport, with a very
slight difference as we'll as difference
in phraseology, and that was adopted
by the same strict party vote. Under
the Organic Act neither the Senate nor
the House have the right of appointing
but either may recommend to the Gov.
ernor those whom he should appoint to
serve on such a commission, he alone
having the right to issue commission
to any one. The matter will be up to
the Senate to rectify. But the resolu-
ton gives the Governor authority to
decide as to the pay of'the commission
ers, thereby creating him little car
in himself. The credit for the same,

An assertion is being made that
when the police make an arrest of Chi
nese gamblers, they are compelled to
employ a certain attorney to defend
them, who is a legislator and the papa
of one of the arresting officers, and
that most of the time they are sure to
get off. Should they fail to employ
this particular police lawyer, then they
are sure of having their fate sealed in
advance, and when they appear for
trial, they are soaked the usual fine.

uty and his pap" (the lawyer are
all more or less in .cahoots to fleece the

proven SO, this state of affairs should

SacULD TOE THE MARK.

Both the ConGte and House, in ac-
ceiling TO the Governors recommends
lions ard passing items of appropria-

our view Of things, to waive the re-
sponsibility from off their shoulders
and thereby pass the buck up to the
Governor. AS far as we are concerned
We do not think 1t right, just or prop
er to pass everything holus-b olus, but
We believe that Viere 1t is proper and
necessary, sohe legislative amendments
should be made in order that certain
salaries might be properly adjusted to
conform to fairness between th@people
andthoso employed. No hotch-potch

been in the few days of the present

Game, We must register a kick, which
practically Is IN admission that the
Executive has assumed the legislative
authority, and that the calling of the
Legislature together is only to lend
color that things are being done law
fully by the law making authority, but
in fact Il is tae Governor who has be-
come czarlsh In his assumption. We
don't believe In such a scheme, but that
the Legislature is to readjust things
properly where readjustment is deemed
necessary and proper, and that's just
what The Independent is in for. Hav-

Jack the Jollier was at the wharf
yesterday morning to receive the Chi
nese prince officially. He appeared
there in his seedy every day suit with
a dirty straw hat and he became the
cynosure of all eyes for his slobbish
appearance. belittling his official
standing. Later on he appeared as he
should have appeared when receiving
the distinguished guest. We would
suggest that subscription be taken
up to rig him out in better style and
not to again appear as a slob before
any royal prince or other distinguished
visitor that may hereafter chance to
call here.

We may have been mistaken in the

Power of the land, the highest of all

without 1t, there cannot be a Govern,

Why Should We Borrow +?

1t seems to us that this loan PROPOSE
ton is a great mistake. 1t is compar-
atively easy, under present conditions,
for Hawaii to borrow money; but have
the people seriously figured upon the
consequences? Last year we borrowed
million dollars. This year we borrow
a million more, and next year we may
borrow another million. There is moth
ing in the law to prevent a continuation
of this process-this rapid transit"

ON ANOTHER TACK.


published petition, a copy OF
which is being circulated for sig
natures. The purport of the
petition is to have the government
step in and help solve the vexed
water question in this valley and
other sections tributary to the
Walker Rivers. Mr.. Taylor, who
has charge of the government IT.
rigation work in this State, has
said that he believes the govern
ment will take up the matter if it
is properly presented, and under
certain conditions What these
conditions are is not known, but
as Mr.. Wolcott has stated that the
government would not step in
with reclamation proposition I'M
til all rights and differences be-
tween water users and ditch own
ers were settled, it probably means
that the government will act when
the Miller & Lux suit is decided
and the rights of all defendants
adiudicated in the Courts. How
ever, there is no reason why any
or all ditch owners cannot sign
the petition and submit it to Mr..
Taylor to forward to the proper
authorities at Washington. 1t
would undoubtedly have consider
able weight if signed by the ma
lority of water users on the
Walker Rivers, and the govern
ment might find some means to
assist.
1t seems to us that government
assistance is quite long way off,
as it is hardly probable that any
new work will be inaugurated
until that on the Carson and
Truckee Rivers is completed, and
that will not be done in less than
four or five years. A private
corporation, composed of the land
owners of this section, could be
formed and the work on storage
proposition begun at once, and by
the Fall of 1905 the works could
be completed, all suits would be
dismissed, there would be water
enough to irrigate every acre of
land tributary to the Walker
Rivers, and the owners of land
would double, if not quadruple
the value of their holdings.
Under the new reclamation act
if land and water owners turned
their water over to the govern
ment they would only have re-
turned to them water sufficient to
irrigate as much land as they had
previously irrigated, and enough
for 100 acres more. if they owned
it, For instance, if man owned
1000 acres of land, and had only
been using water on 500 acres,
the government would only
allow him water for the 500 acres,
plus 100 acres. This would have
the land owner with $40 acres of
land for which he could not pro-
cure water. The intent of the
law is to cut up large holdings
and make small homes. This is
perfectly correct, but under
private corporation the owner of
the 1000 acres would get water
for all of his land and be able to
dispose of it to settlers to better
advantage.
1t seems to us that the corpora
ton is what would work the great
est benefit in the shortest length
of time. Every land owner should
be member of it, and they would
then control all the water and
land from the source to the
mouth of these rivers; control the
power which will some day be
