The newspapers generally
turnout the state are not
taking very kindly To Gov
ernor Hawley's proposition of
calling an extra session of
the Legislature for the pur
pose of Strengthening out his
full cash valuation tax mud
die" Even the Lewiston
Tribune, the leading demo
cratic journal of the state, is
opposed TO the calling of an
extra session. In discussing
the question the Tribune says:
There has never been an extra session
of the legislature called or held in this
state, although there have been fire..
quent occasions when the need thereof
could be strongly argued, but execu-
tives have invaribly felt that it were
better to bear the ills existing than re-
sort to an additional legislature as a
prospective means of remedy Legis-
lative sessions at best are not popular
They are the weakest arm of govern
ment that there is. It would require,
we believe, some special emergency to
justify the expense, the uncertainty and
he fat hat oil .
sessions in order to reconcile the state
TO such proposal at this time. Just
what the emergency is at this time is
not clear. Governor Hawley has con-
sistently denied that the new assess
ment policy contained any public en-
harrassment, and following upon the
supreme court decision requiring a
statutory school levy instead of the OPP
tional levy, be announced that the diff
ference was not burdensome and did
not appreclably al e t finances.
Straightway, however, a special legis-
lative session is proposed for the pur-
pose of dealing with that subject, and
if such session is actually called it will
logically indicate that an emergency
exists. whether it is expressly SO stated
or not. Meantime the people would
not be specially interested in the sub
iect or in legislation bearing upon IT,,
unless it affected their interests quite
materially, and this would have to be
shown in order to win their approval
of the session. To make satisfactory
showing that the extra session is adj
yisable would be equivalent to show
ng that the high assessment policy
was entered upon imprudently and was

If Governor Hawley decides
to call special session of the
legislature it seems to us it
should be called to convene
early in January instead of in
February or March. This
would give time to amend
the revenue laws before the
assessors start on their next
years assessments. One
thing that caused so much
trouble this year, the gov
ernor's cash value order was
not made until after a nnm.
Der of the assessors had listed
the property under the old
basis. The new order caused
them to do their work over.
Should the special session not
convene until the middle OF
February, it would be a month
or more before that body
could possibly get a new rev
enue law passed. The asses
sors of the state would thus
be unable to turn a hand, ,
until nearly the first of April
If we must have a specia
session, Governor, .sby the

earliest date possible.

FREAR FOR HATCH.
CONTINUED from Page u

tee room A resolution endorsing
Judge Cooper was then adopted
The following is the resolution pass
ed by the committee:
Resolved, that the Republican par
ty of the Territory of Hawaii hereby
endorses and recommends the Hon.
Henry E. Cooper for the Office of chief
justice of the supreme court of the
Territory of Hawaii"
Reports that Governor Frear might
vacate the chair he now holds and re-
sumo his old position as chief justice
were current this morning, as a result
of the resignation of Chief Justice
HartwelI. The Governor, however
comes out as a supporter of former
Justice F. NJ. Hatch. Among members
of the local bar Hatch has a number
of supporters, and there is also strong
support for Circuit Judge Henry f.
Cooper, who seems likely to get the
endorsement of the local bar associa-
ton.
1t is the opinion Of many that Presi-
dent Taft will send a man from the
mainland, as he did in the case of a
successor to Internal Revenue Col
lector Drake. The position will be
eagerly sought by many mainland law
yers. Many here think that if there S
a local disagreement, as in the collec-
torship matter, the appointment is
sure to go to some one from the main
land, and many think it will go to a
mainlander anyhow.
Cooper and Hatch are the men most
talked of as possible successors to
Chief Justice Hartwell. Already the
cable has been used by supporters of
both, and so has the wireless, and the
Republican territorial executive com
mittee has Informally taken up the
matter, with the result that it is solid
for Cooper
Among the members of the bar as
ISOLATION there is some opposition to
Cooper. According to some of the
members, however, Hatch is not avail
able and will not allow hts name to be
used. If this proves to be the case,
the supporters of Hatch, in the bar
association, are likely to line up for
some other candidate, and Associate
De Bolt or Perry might be the man.
TAFT OPPOSED TO HATCH.
Those who say that Hatch is not
available, base their views largely on
reports that Hatch is very far from
being a pet of President Taft. The

NJ CANDLES IS
STILL A BUYER

Today at noon there was a sale oil
leases and land from the front en-
trance of the Capitol building.
The first lease offered was that of
government land at Kuokala, Hawai-
hapai and Kealia, Waialua, Oahu con-
tanning an area Of 249O acres. The up
set rental was $50 a year, with \
lease of five years from January last.
There was spirited bidding on this
land, and from $3.50 it finally went to
$41O. At this figure it was secured by
L. L. McCandless. The government
has reserved to itself the right to
withdraw from this lease lands for
forest reserve purposes, without re-
duction of rent.
The next lease offered also occa-
sional some keen competition. This
was government land at Waioli Hama
lei, Kauai, containing an area of 4OC
acres with a lease of ten years, and
had an upset price of $50. This was
run up to $4O2 before it fell to Charles
Makee.
These leases will contain conditions
requiring fencing of all boundaries Of
forest reserves.
A remnant of government land OF
the Fort street extension containing
an area of 242O square feet was Offered
at an upset price of $242. The Boart
of Hawaiian Evangelical Association
bought this land at $277.
Another piece of land on the For
street extension containing an area o
S39 square feet, was purchased by
Henry R. Sniffen for $S5, 50 above tht
upset price.
Land for a rightof- way for an fri
cation ditch at Wahiawa, Waialua
Oahu, about 65 acres in extent, haC
an upset price of $65 on it. It wal
sold to the Wahiawa Water Compan,
for a dollar above this amount.

intendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell has been having his eyes

Superintendent of Public Works, how
ever; has used his ingenuity foY the
acquisition of funds and he has done
it in this way. Fortunately the last
legislature appropriated lump sum
from which he could draw for salaries
and expenses, without specifying just
what each dollar should be spent for,
with the result, that through economy
and foresight, he has mana re | to save

last on the ground that the action was
barred by the statute of limitations,
more than six years having elapsed
since judgment was rendered. The
complaint showed that the defendant
appealed from the former Judgment 70
the circuit Judge, instead of the cir
cult court. His appeal was dismissed
on January 2, 1904, and his appeal to
the supreme court on December 81,
1904, met a similar rate. If the stat
ute had not begun to run, as claimed
by the plaintiff, pending the appeals,
the demurrer should not have been
sustained. The defendant contended
that an abortive appeal such as was
made in this case, was absolutely void,
and was not such as was contemplate
by the law. This contention could not
! be sustained. The statute allowed the
action to be brought lat any time after

limitations" The plaintiff, however.
could not have levied execution pend

from the magistrate allowing it on the
ground that the appeal should not

lied by competent judicial authority he
could not properly have treated the
