The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1905-05-26
WANT LAHA|NALUNA
FORFEIT MONEY

Castle G. wilmington and Smith &
Lewis representing the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
filed in the Supreme Court under the
special act an action against the Ter
ritory of Hawaii to recover the sum
of $4,000 the agreed forfeit In case the
faith of the fathers ceased to be taught
at Lahainaluna Seminary. The suit
was brought in view of the fact that
the proposed submission OF the case
to the Supreme Court on a statement
of agreed facts fell through the gov
eminent not being able to agree to all
the facts alleged by the board.
The crucial question in the case Is
whether or not the government has
violated the condition under which the
school property was decided to it re-
curing 1t to teach the religion pro-
fessed by the American Board or the
Hawaiian Mission in 1849. A subsidi-
airy question is whether the govern
ment has changed the course of study
required by the agreement or not. In
reply to the statement by some per-
sons that $4,000 is an excessive forfeit
the attorneys state that in their opin-
lon 1t is not, the American Mission
having turned over to the government
property which had cost them over
$4,000 on the conditions named.

1t really begins to look as though
Act SO were destined to prove fatal
to the County Act Act SO is the en-
aiding act, intended to provide funds
for carrying the provisions of the
County Act into effect. and there is
a defect in the very first section ~
tia most serious defect. the section
reads:
section l. Fifty per centum of the
total amount of poll and school taxes
and taxes on property and incomes,
collected in each county, shall be
paid by the Treasurer of the Terri
tory to the Treasurer of such county"
Now, the schools are a thing with
which the counties have nothing
whatever to do. Consequently, the
school tax fund is a thing with which
the counties have nothing whatever
to do. The school tax, differing in
that from the road and poll tax, Is
a special tax collected for special
purpose. 1t is collected under the pro-
visions of Section 1900 of the Revised
Laws, which section is among the old
Hawaiian laws reenacted by the pro-
visions Of the Organic Act. The sec
ton reads:
school Tax. An annual tax of two
dollars, FOR THE SUPPORT OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, shall be
paid by every male inhabitant of this
Territory between the ages of twenty
and sixty years, unless exempted by
law"
The money collected under this sec
ton is a fund used to support the
public schools of the Territory, and
the public schools are explicitly taken
outside the jurisdiction of the coun-
ties. There is no authority anywhere
to use the money for any other pur-
pose. Accordingly, under the provi-
sions of Section 1 of Act SO, money
that is collected explicitly to maintain
the schools is diverted to an entirely
different use. 1t is not probable that
the most enthusiastic county govern
ment man would want to secure 1t at
the expense of the public schools.
A second defect in Act SO was that
which was revealed when Treasurer
Campbell refused to honor warrant
drawn by Superintendent OF Public
Works Holloway upon the road board
fund. These warrants have always
been drawn by the Superintendent of
Public Works heretofore, and have al
ways been honored.
''There are $4,000 in the Treasury
now belonging to these road board
funds" said Treasurer Campbell yes
terday, but as 1 read the new law
we can only draw upon 1t on warrant
from the county boards of Supervi-
sors. l have passed the matter up to
the Attorney-Generars Office for solu-
tion.'
There was a mild sensation about
the Capitol. and among the down
town banks. too. when 1t became
known that the Treasurer had turned
down a road warrant from the Super
intendent of Public Works. For lit
tie time, indeed, there was some talk
OF mandamus proceedings. and an at
torney was consulted. but Governor
Garter stopped that.
"They had everything ready for the
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1905-05-26
MONEY IS
GIVEN TO COUNTIES
IN ENABLING ACT

mandamus proceeding said the Gov
ernor but l would not stand for it..
1 would not countenance spending
$3.50 of the money of the Taxpayers
to test the County Act"
In effect it is the validity of the
County Act that is in question, be-
cause the County Act will not stand
If the enabling act providing funds is
knocked out. Attorney-General An
drews, when seen relative to the mat
ter, said that he was considering the
point raised by the action of the
Treasurer.
The action taken by Secretary
Campbell was based upon two Sec
tons of Act SO, namely sections three
and seven. Section three provides
very plainly how and by whom road
funds shall be expended as witness:
Section 8. The road taxes as at
present laid down by law shall be a
special deposit in the Territorial
Treasury to the credit of each Road
District, and shall, by the Territorial
Treasurer, be paid out to the County
Treasurers of the Counties respective
ly within which the various Road Dis
tricts shall be. And the said Road
Taxes shall be expended only for the
making, maintaining and repairing of
public roads and highways in the sew
eral road districts as authorized by
the Supervisors of the County from
time to time.
1.-THE county Treasurer shall under
no circumstances allow these special
deposits or any part thereof to be
used for any other purposes under ap-
preparations by the Board OF Super
visors except for the making, maintain
ing and repairing of the public roads
and highways as aforesaid"
This, however, would not matter so
much IL 1t were not for the joker in
Section seven. The, section is very
simple. 1t reads:
This act shall take effect from and
after the date of its passage"
And, that section hides the African
in the woodpile. Because the County
Act itself does not go into effect-that
is, County Government does not be-
| come operative, until the first day of
July. If the trainers of Act SO had
| made 1t operative at the same time,
| this particular hitch would not have
occurred. AS it is, although the Su-
perintendent of Public Works can go
ahead as he has always done with the
| road work, he has entirely lost the
power to pay for the work, and the
funds provided for the purpose must
| remain locked up in the Treasury I'M
til the County Supervisors come into
| office and order them paid out. And
perhaps that will mean a cessation of
work on the roads, as well as some
| other things. At all events, 1t is a
pretty tangle as 1t stands.
Aside from these entirely new legal
aspects of the case, there was nothing
| of moment developed in the County
| Act contest yesterday. Mr.. Highton
said that he expected to have his
hypothetical case ready for submits
sion to the attorney for the defense
OF the act this week. possibly by
| Thursday. and II he does the case
may reach the stage of argument In
the Supreme Court next Monday.
