HENJAMIN WILLIAMS, t. f. 'Secretary. Important Legislation Passed by the Legislature of 1909. HONOLULU, April 27. More power to the counties, more power to the Municipality of Honolu lu; a nearer approach to decen tralization of government and a wider range of puhlic possibilities; a better understanding of public utilites; many cures for sick laws, repeal for had ones; mending of punctured statutes and general all- round improvement, in the main; such is the epitome of the accom plishment of the Fifth Legislature of Hawaii. Numerous popularly acknowledg ed good laws" have been realized ind largely numerous vain, or use less or objectionable bills have found death, early or late in the session, is they richly deserved, tho perhaps a solitary desirable measure here and there was lost in the shullle. IMPORTANT RESULTS. Most important of results, possi bly, are such enactments as the pro visions for iirimigration; conserva tion of natural resources; represen tation at the Seattle Fair; the where withal to enterain big folks from the mainland; the broadening of county power anil, therefore of local govern ment and, by the same token, more of the Americanization that is de sired; beneficial legislation for the aflicted brethren of Kalawao and Kalaupapa; the'provision or a bos pital on' Oahu for suspects; simpli fication and conveniencing of judi cial systems; protection of food fishes and beneficial birds; regula tion of government expenditures; banking and finance betterment of conditions or methods; improve ment in public instruction manage ment, and the raising of the income tax exemption. PLEASANT DEFEATS. Of the measure killed perhaps the greatest joy is over the defeat of the liquor bill. The failure of the two-county .idea for Hawaii island is another matter for congratulation, or so it woidd appear from the opinions of careful thinkers. . Of measures not introduced but talked of, there is regret expressed that no hills were entered to tax bachelors or to take steps toward woman suffrage; the latter would have had to be a resolution and would have received more serious discussion outside the legislative halls than the former, the former being more of a joke. AGAINST TWO-TONC!UES. A sign of this Legislature, as nf- feeting possibly, the next, is in re gard to the use of the Hawaiian lan Kiiage. It is known that strenuous efforts will be made to do away with .translation and interpretation from English into Hawaiian in the next session ; successful or not, the at tempt will be made. , . There are a few imi)ortant mens- ures still in tho hands of the Gover nor, or which have not yet gone to the Governor. Concerning them it is too early to speak. Of these, of course, the most important is the appropriation bill; next, perhaps, conies the general election bill. HOUSE OBSERVATION. An observation of the proceedings of the House during the fifty-six days gone by, will show that Kauai has had a wonderful influence in most affairs of the House. Kauai's initiative of this delegation has been made more powerful by the splendid support and reciprocal initiative of the Oahu members. Holtsoin, as Speaker, and Alfonso ajid Furtaelo on the floor, have been tho big' men from the Rig Island. Hereafter appear comparative sta tistics in regard to tho introduction of bills. WHAT REMAINS. Counting today, there are four more days of this session to be heard from, hut yesterday was the last day when bills could be introduced with' any prospect of passage. In the fifty-six days of this session which have passed, there have been, ap proximately, 230 bills introduced in the House and 149 introduced in the Senate. The Governor has signed 112 bills and four resolutions. There are so far 112 new laws. In his hands today there are, about twenty one bills, of which thirteen are House bills and eight are Senate bills, awaiting his veto or signature of approval. The end of the session will show that about one-third of the bills in troduced become law. RILLS PER SENATOR.
