candidates, telling who they are,
what they stand for, or what should
be expected of them should they
be elected to the positions to
which they aspire. Every gentle
man on the ticket which is to be
given the Democratic support
during this campaign, is we'll
known to the citizens of Central.
Each has lived here period GOV.

committee. who believe Il IL an open
question Just how much power these
County boards should be given by law
under the wording Of the platform.
The proposed law to pass tho water
works over to the County presents still
greater difficulties. Not only would
the measure probably encounter oppo.
sition from the other Island delega
lions, but as the entire Territory In
benefited by the revenue derived from
/ the water works. while II the proposed
law were passed. only the County OF
oahu would be benefited. On the 9th
or nand. IN view Of the fact that Oahu
win lose much revenue by the pro
posed income tax law. II might be
considered only fair that she be given
this zap AS n consolation.
The main question In regard to this
proposed act Is, however. In regard tC
its constitutionality. Several eminent
legal lights have expressed their opin
ion that such an act would be uncon
stitutional. Their point Is that It
would be In violation of section 81 OF
the Organic Act, which says that al
public property coded to the United
States by the Republic of Hawaii
shall be and remain In the posses
sion, use and control of the govern
ment of the Territory Of Hawaii. and
shall be maintained. managed and
cared for by II, mt It's own expense,
until otherwise provided for by Con
grcss," etc. II Is held that under this
section all that the Legislature could
do would be to pass a concurrent res.
olution recommending the change
which should be sent on to Congress-
to act on. The legal men also show
that the giving the water works over
to the County would be to diminish
the security which the Territory has
given for her bonds. and her earning
capacity, with which she has to pay
interest thereon. Others point out
however, that the Counties have been
given the use of road machinery ana
tools, which was In the same status AZ
the water works, and as consequence
the same kind Of legislation could be
passed In regard to water works.
The primary law Is IN the hands OF
Il. Crawford of the subcommittee, but
he has not drafted any proposed act
