ELECTION LAWS

The question of authorizing county
elections on Maui, Kauai and Hawaii
to be held in May instead of Novem-
Der was taken up by the house in
committee of the whole this morning,
but after a brief discussion, during
which no decision was reached, .ad-
journment was taken, to resume its
consideration later, probably tomor-
row.
Kawewehi, as chairman of the Ha-
waii county delegation, announced
that island as favorable to the propos-
ed change, though Holstein and one
or two other Hawaii members took eX-
ception to his report.
House Bill 195, introduced by the
lands committee, providing for the aid
of homesteaders by permitting them
to organize cooperative societies to
obtain financial loans, was tabled on
the finance committees recommenda-
tion, as was Kupihea's House Bill $50,
to create model taro farm and poi
fectory in Honolulu.

Cooke Has Bill Ready

Plans already are well under way
for big Hawaiian Island Fair, to
become permanent annual or bien-

the moving spirit in the prospective
enterprise, has conferred with and re-

the leaders of both branches of the
legislature, Governor Frear, George r.
Carter, E. v. Wilcox, special agent
in charge OF the U. S. agricultural ex-
perimental station, and q large num-
ber OF influential business men of
Oahu and the other islands.
Within a short time he will intro
duce in the house a bill authorizing
the organization of the exposition as
sociation, under the guidance Of a
commission, and calling for an ap-
preparation to give the project its
financial impetus. @ .
This is to be more than a revival
of the old Hawaiia nfairs, wherein
horse racing was the large and nearly
all-important feature, though it is
proposed to include the racing as of
yore. All with whom Representative
Cooke has conferred are enthusiastic
over the subject, declaring it can be
made one of the biggest features in

WITHSTORIES OF ASIAHC TIDE

The Hawaiians fear that il con-
ditions ar enot changed the Asiatic
population will become so dominant
that the United States government
will, ultimately be compelled to take
away the franchise of all citizens, and
Hawaii would then be worse off than
at any time in its history.
THE anti-AsiaticL forces are adyo-
eating the throwing open to settle
ment of all public lands, most of
which now are leased by the sugar
