That the legislature Of the territor
be given power relative to the dfspo-
sftion of all public, government and
crown lands in the territory which.
under the terms of the treaty between
America and the Republic OF Hawaii,
were ceded and transferred TO the

memorial to Congress contained in

=" the house this morning by Represen-
tative H. L. Holstein.

public lands of the territory. II is

the legislature of the territory are
thoroughly acquainted with all exist
ing conditions and fully competent to

STILL INQUIRIES
ON GUARD MEALS

If the members of the National
Guard who were fed at the armory
during recent heavy recruiting season
were neither indigents or immigrants,
by what authority was honey spent
from immigration appropriations FOR
these meals?
This question is asked in a reSolu-
ton introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives today by Speaker. H. L.
Holstein. who points out that, although
the house had several times asked for
this information, it has not yet been
forthcoming: The board of immigTa-
ton recently wrote to the house say
ing it could not answer the question.
The resolution provides that the SOW
ernor and immigration commissioner
Immediately report to the house
whether the guardsmen who were
given meals at the armory were in
digentS under the immigration board
and also if they were immigrants.
Il think we should have this in
formation before we pass upon certain
appropriation bills said Holstein in
defense of his measure. IF the gov
ernor takes money out of the immigra-
ton fund and uses it for making
boarding house out of the National
Guard armory. think We are entitled
to know about it before proceeding
further. If the Hawaiian guardsmen
were indigents-an and | have never
heard of any Hawaiian indigents-let
us be informed of it; and if they were
immigrants-Well, | can't see how they
possibly could be immigrants"
The house adopted the resolution. :

PARTY
GOES TO MOLOkAI

1t has been definitely decided now
that the usual big party of legislators
will not visit the leper settlement at
Molokai during the present session.
Senator George Cooke announced
today that the party which leaves next
Friday for Molokai will consist of the
health committees from the two hous-
es primarily, with perhaps few other
legislators who desire to make the
trip. Evan da Silva is chairman of
the health committee in the house.
Cooke received a wireless message
today from Superintendent J. D. Nc
Weigh, as follows:
Pail or steamer suit u.s. Wire me
when coming, also number of party"
Cooke says the party will go first
to kaunanakai, from there. to his
ranch and thence down the Pail TO the
settlement.

More Scholastic Work Needed
Practically all of the senators inter

more scholastic work should be intro
duced at the school and that Superin
tendent Anderson's plan to build cot
tages for the boys to live in rather
than the present dormitory should be
followed out.
Senator Cooke believes that at least
two cottages should be erected at
once. These would cost $4,000 each.
"By using these" says Senator
Cooke, the boys can be distributed
according TO age, which will be big

H0LSTEIN INTRODUCES
RESOLUTION FAV0RiNG
CHINESE ADMISSION

4 Representative H. L. Holstein took
the floor in the heHse--ef representa-.
tfVes this morning and introduced a
resolution memoralizing congress to
pass legislation to permit a certain
number of alien Chinese, presumably
about 10000, to enter Hawaii to aid in
the cultivation of idle agricultural
lands. The resolution carries the pro-
vision that such Chinese be not per
mitted to proceed to the mainland.
The resolution points out that at
present in Hawaii there are large
areas of land lying idle that might be
used for the cultivation of rice and
ether products.
If these lands are titled" said
Speaker Holstein, ''our food supply
will be materially added to and the
taxable value of the land will in
crease"
He went on to say that certain men,
bers of congress who visited here two
years ago were agreeable to having a
certain number of Chinese brought
into the territory As to the question
OF what the labor unions on the main.
land would have to say regarding the
movement, the speaker pointed out
that the Chinese are to be brought
here for agricultural purposes only
Representative Lyman urged that
careful consideration be given the
measure, pointing out that the lands
which are now idle should be turned
over to local residents seeking it.
The resolution was referred to the
agricultural committee.

l. LEGISLATURE WEARS ITSELF
OUT
The Most Extravagant and Do Moth
ing Session in the States History

Our state legislature did not ad-
journ. 1t just kept turning the clock
back until it wore itself out, long af-
ter the patience of the people had been
worn threadbare. 1t was some spend
ing legislature, but after that not
much can be said. Its total appropri-
alton were twelve million dollars and
makes even the Shafroth sessions look
like they were parsimonious.
The Carlson administration paid
ali its appropriations and left Il sur
plus of over four hundred thousand
dollars in the treasury, but unless
Governor Gunter uses the veto un-
sparingly, this session in spite of
nearly doubling the state tax for
general purposes, will spend all the
surplus and all taxes and other mon
ey it can raise, and leave deficit
of several millions. 1t spent most of
its time trying to pass a bill limiting
the amount of booze that could be
shipped in, and this too after Con-
gress had already passed a law for
bidding any shipments whatever. The
most of the balance of its time was
spent in scrapping with Governor
Gunter over his appointments, and he
finally held most of them up and will
make them after the senate goes
home. Its principal function seemed
to be to make the people long for
some of the assemblies thcy have
cussed in the past.
