The action was not taken without
considerable discussion. Representa-

actually are starving, due to the failure
Of the food commission to perform the

Representatives Petrie, C. H. Cooke

Wilcox, g. p. Wilder, D. NJ. Kupihef
and G. N. Marquee lined up against TIT
rts6ldtion. The contention was Offered
that 9A.tesignations of the members Of
the commission would be placed in the
hands of Governor Mccarthy when b.
takes Office, the whole matter should
be left to him. Representative Walsh
Of Maui strongly defended the com.
mission and asserted it had done much

Senators Give Views
Senator Robert Shingle opened

cotiling to Hoyle, he insisted, sayinj
u impinged upon the prerogatiVes of
the Governor, and he expressed the
belief also that it interfered with the
Futies of the executive. Senator r
~. Makekau pointed out to his col
leagues that the house had acted on
a report from the commission which
never had received consideration in
the senate. He asked why the senate
should be called upon to demand the
designations of the commissioners
when II had never had any report from
them, and when they had not Been af
forded, an opportunity of presenting
their eide.
Senator s. r. Correa considered that
