Civil Service Commissioner Noa w. Aluli says
he will demand investigation of the charges that
he defed police authority the night of the Japa
nese lantern parade and that he acted as if under
the influence of liquor The community expects il
to be a real investigation. If he did not do the
things attributed to him by report, he should be ex
onerated. If he did resist and curse an officer and
il he was taken to the station and there freed by
higher police official, the public ought to know it
and Commissioner Aluli should be promptly separ.

Senate Bill }3 provides for prohibition year

Another argument against the local legislatures
acting is that of illegalty 1t is argued that under
the Organic Act the Legislature regulate but not

In the first place. legal opinion is divided Oh this
In the second place, what Hawaii is primarily con
Icerned with is what do the people, controlling gov
eminent, want? That also is what Congress is pri
marily concerned with.
The Organic Act provides for regulation by the
legislature. Senate Bill 33 provides regulation,
though the title calls it prohibition bill. This is
a matter which might be amended. The bill plain
ly is regulation" because it allows the selling OF
liquor for medical, sacramento and scientific pur
poses 1t provides for the appointment OF officials
TO carry out the regulations. We believe that SUI
preme court opinion would hold to the view that the
legislature has right to pass such bill-though
care should be taken that the body of the bill and
its title are harmonized :..~.- 1879
After ALL the gist of the situation is that HaWan
should be given the opportunity to express itself
fully and fairly the biggest public question before
the territory-that of maintaining or ending the
booze traffic. ~
Congressional hearings have shown conclusively
that Congress desires know the wishes of the PEG

wishes. sa ~. 4
If Hawaii votes .'dry," Congress will bein posi-.
ton to act whether or not the legality of the egis
latiye bill is questioned Knowing how Hawaii
stands Congress will take the same attitude as was
taken in the case of Alaska-pass the federal law,
thus recognizing the principle OF home rule Alaska
voted "dry. and Congress recognized that Alaska's
wishes should be carried out. Hawaii has this I'M

three years has been hammering away on the evils
of promiscuous handling of firearms and Pacheco's
bill seeks to check those evils The territory has far
too many of the "gunmen" gentry and their numbers
are rapidly increasing. Pacheco would it make 1t
obligatory on intending purchasers Of firearms first
to get permit from the police. The police are not
likely to allow irresponsible characters to buy wea-
