too broad, and he suggested that II be-
referred 90 the Committee on Pablo

Committee Reports.
When President Smith called for
committee reports under the order of
the day, Chairman Robinson read the
decision of the Education Committee
on Senate Concurrent Resolution No.
9, as follows:
"Your Committee on Education, to
which vas referred Senate Concurrent
Resolution No. 2, which seeks to turn
over TO the counties the control and
maintenance of the public schools,
begs leave to report that it has given
the resolution careful consideration,
and while the committee believes that
as much as possible of the business of
the Territory should be turned over to
the counties, it still considers that the
matter of education should remain
with the Territory for the present" 3"
The recommendation that the reso.
luton be laid on the table was
adopted.
In reporting against the freak fish.
ing bill, introduced by Coelho, the Ju.
dietary Committee said:
"Your committee is of the opinion
that such an act, if made law, would
not only increase the cost of sea food
to everybody in the Territory, which
would bring hardship upon the poor
especially, but would also be in direct
violation of all treaty rights between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries" The report was laid on the
table to be considered with the bill.
A Bond Measure.
Senator McCarthy's measure to ia.
cilitate the giving of bonds required
or permitted by law was reported on
favorably by the Judiciary Committee.
1t is as follows:
"Be it Enacted by the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii.
"Section /. That any receiver, as
signee, guardian, trustee, committee,
executor, administrator, commissioner,
or other fiduciary required by law or
the order of any court or Judge to give
a bond or other obligation as such may
include as part of the lawful and
chargeable expense of executing his
trust such reasonable sum, paid com.
pany authorized under the laws of this
Territory to become surety on such
bond or obligation for becoming his
surety thereon, as may be allowed by
the court in which, or a judge before
whom, he is required to account, not
exceeding one-half of one per cent. per
annum on the amount of such bond :"
The resolution of Coelho, directed at
the Organic Act amendments, and
which was referred to the Committee
on Printing. was as follows:
Whereas, There is now pending in
and before the House of Representa-.
tives of the United States, in the ex.
pectation of it being enacted into law
by the Federal Congress, bill to
amend, in many important particulars,
the Organic Act,> creating and provid
ing government for the Territory;
and
"Whereas, Said bill as so prepared and
introduced in said House of Represen.
tatives proposes many changes in our
scheme of Territorial government that
would be, if enacted into law, dis.
tasteful to the people of this Territory
and subversive of the principle of pop,
ular government and detrimental to the
best interests of the Territory, espe-
eially as regards the administration and
disposition of the public lands thereof,
in regard to which. in particular. the
