State. was jammed through the House
in a hurry. 1t takes three readings
to get joint resolution through each
legislative body. Sheldon couldn't
wait That seemed to be wasting two
whole days in each house and putting
off statehood four more days. SO the
statesman from the banks Of the Wal
mea moved an amendment to make
the resolution concurrent instead of
Joint. The House humored him in
this, and the resolution was then
adopted by unanimous vote
Third Reading.
The House had only one bill on the

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

The Board proceeding as presented
to this paper was disgraceful = the
product of the arbitrary power under
the law. It could not have been pos.
sible under a law calling or full pub
LEFTY in the meetings Of the Com
missioners 1t would not have been
preached under the glare of news
paper publicity.
Another feature where amendment
has been suggested Is TO give the
right of appeal from the action of
the Liquor Board. The average bus
mess man does not take kindly to
any law that robs a man of his right
to appeal to n court OF justice. Even
the Prohibition States allow this. The
proposal to grant the right OF appeal
is attacked by the radical temperance
people as practically multiplying the
law. 1t seems extraordinary that any
law should be nullified IL robbed OF
the privilege which every American
has come to consider a matter of
right!
The restrictions regarding the res
taurant license to which Mr.. Ballen-
tyne called attention might also be
carried into effect.
Changes of this character could
properly be said to come under the
head of a perfection of the law. They
would not involve a general revision.
II is possible that in the interests
Of community harmony the Democrats
will not insist on all the radical fea-
lures of their bill, and that the Leg
islature OF the Territory Of Hawaii,
now in session, would witness ra-
tlonal amendment, not radical change
of the law.
The Blu et n opposes the wide
open town in the sense of having
liquor shops on every corner. We
don't believe the liquor dealers Of the
city or Territory want return to
the conditions of the old liquor law.
We know of no one anxious for 1t.
II improvements can be made with
out upsetting the whole law. let good
work go on.
Under any circumstances, there
should be no radical steps until there
has been a complete presentation OF
both sides. Thus far, but one has
bpen heard

THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE

The particular attention of b u =
e | n readers Is called to the eX-
tract from Director Newells report,
given In this issue, in which he deals
with the labor problem and immigra-
ton of Hawaii.
Our people often forget that the in
dustrial projects of the islands have
prospered through immigration. The
basis OF all our progress has been the
immigrant, backed, of course, by the
protective tariff.
Conditions have not changed so far
as to the necessity of immigrants to
maintain Territorial prosperity.
The radical change is: that the
sources of supply in the Orient have
been cut of. This is absolute. AS
Mr.. Newell says, the barriers are
raised all around us.
The only present door through
which the immigrant can be obtained
to carry on the development of the
Territory is European. Hawaii must
have additional laborers, and the
Federal Government or, to put 1t
more correctly, the American people,
are determined that the future devel-
opment OF these islands shall not be
based on further addition to our
population of laborers from the ORR
ent.
The suggestion amounts to a COM
mand that the American or the alien
eligible to become an American shall
be the future workman in the fields
of Hawaii. How to get these people
and develop the new source of supply
is the most important issue before
the citizens of this Territory today.
1.-THE prosperity Of every person In
these Islands depends on a proper So
luton.
1t is therefore of vital Importance
that the hearing of the legislative
committee on the immigration ques-
ton shall be well attended by the
leaders and the broad-gauge men OF
this city.
| Here is matter that cannot be
evaded or put over to a more conve,
'nient season. 1t is right at the door
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-03-06


declarations that they should not ex-
ist. and this seems to be the status
Of the liquor question at the present
line.
The Republican party in framing
is platform declared against any
general revision of the present liquor
law. Since various men read this in
various ways, We now find that many
GOOD citizens believe the wording is not
of right and should not be interpret
ed to mean that the liquor law can
not be touched at this session of the
Legislature. More important still,
this opinion is held by very excellent
men elected to the Legislature.
The Democrats are not bound by
any Republican Interpretation, so the
Territory finds itself with liquor
question on its hands whether liking
II or not.
Some of our best citizens are bois-
ferrous in their demand that the liquor
law should be left violently alone.
Others of our best citizens, while not
so boisterous. are convinced that the
law should be changed in some of its
details, that would not involve a gen.
eral revision or an increase of the sa-
looms.
Bills of various descriptions deal
ing with the liquor question have
been introduced regardless of the Re-
publican declaration. This morning
comes the most radical of the lot, al
though the statement was made last
night that the liquor dealers would
make a move toward less radical leg
islation than the bill In the Senate
with which their name has been asso-
ciated. Where this latest bill comes
from has yet to be learned. The spon-
sor for II Is from Hilo.
All OF which shows that issues
cannot be made to order. and plat
form planks, framed to suit demands
for a local-option regulation more ex-
plicit than that now contained in the
law. may be interpreted with honest
intent to mean revision in other mi
