spoke at length, declaring that if the
Senate gave its assent to the section
under consideration-the substance of
the whole bill-that it would be vio-
lating the confidence of the people and
their known wishes.
There is no appeal from the de-
cisions of the Board of Police Com
missioners in San Francisco he said.
The summary power that has been
granted to boards having control of
the liquor traffic is wholesome one
and is an actual protection to the hon
est dealer There may be imperfec-
tions in the law; law governing the
liquor traffic can not be made perfect,
but the law that we now have is as
nearly perfect as can be reasonably
expected The vital interest of the
people is at stake. We have heard but
one voice from the people and that
voice has been against change to the
existing liquor law. The present law
has worked for the benefit of the Ha-
waiian people.
by what right do we sit in these
chairs today? We are here as the
sworn representatives of the people ;
we know what their viii is in this mat
ter-are we going to act contrary to
it?o
Senator Smith moved that the en-
tire section be stricken out and his
motion was seconded by. Senator
Knudsen.
Senator Fairehild declared in posi-
tive terms that the passage of the
present amendments to the liquor law
simply went to prove that the coun-
ties must have more independent power.
Kauai is absolutely satisfied with
the present law, but a change is forced
upon us by the people who favor a
change in Oahu. 1t brings up the
question proving that counties must
be independent in the regulation of

terially reduced, but if the plan advo-
Gated by Chairman Fairchild is adopt
ed, there win be ample insurance
against any deficiency that might oc-
cur in the government during the adj
journment Of the Legislature. Senator
Fairehild s idea is to provide con
tingent fund of the surplus that may
be saved from the revenue. This fund
is to be left open to the demand of
the Governor. and if any necessity
should arise for additional funds for
any government department the Gov
ernor will be able to draw upon the
fund and the next Legislature give the
required legality to the expenditures.
Plan Is Supported.
This plan has met with the approval
of a number of legislators and is ex-
pected to prove the best solution that
can be found of any emergency that
might arise through an effective adop-
tion of the policy Of economy.
The recommendations of the Ways
and Means Committee would involve
the shouldering of much additional re-
sponsibility by the counties. The fig
ures submitted show county expense
burden of about 100000 additional
This is compensated for in ways that
leave the counties with credit bal
ance of about 100000 through a coin
cident transfer of revenues.
Additional appropriation is recon-
mended by the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the Senate for the depart
ment Of Public Instruction, the men,
Ders of the committee being unanimous
IN the belief that there should be more
money available for the payment OF
teachers salaries.
