Propose a constitutional change to allow referendum whereby a majority, of the voters could create a new law by ballot. Introduced by Rep. Whitnejv 'I Anderson. A state police force replacing the four existing county police departments has been proposed at the state Legislature. The idea, which is bound to raise questions and criticism by the county police operations, is contained in a bill introduced by House Speaker Henry Peters at the request of Rep.

Russell Sakamoto. Sakamoto said he wanted to see the bill introduced for discussion purposes since there seems to be a growing concern about crime in the community. "There's no coordination at a stale-wide level different ordinances and whatnot so 1 thought let's put an umbrella over it all." Sakamoto said. "This is an avenue for the public to discuss the issue." Sakamoto's bill suggests a statewide law agency is needed because criminals have become too sophisticated and numerous for individual police departments to handle. "Diffusion of anti-crime resources and jurisdictional authority throughout the four counties are primary reasons which handicap the police departments in the fight against crime." the bill states.

Thus, it proposes one statewide police force that would be without jurisdictional limits. A single police chief under the attorney general's office would administer all police functions throughout the state. It would take effect in 19S1 Attempts to set up statewide law enforcement agencies in the past, even when restricted to investigation and pursuit of organized crime, have met with stiff opposition. The state police force idea was just one of hundreds flowing through the legislative mill this week. Others touched on everything from creating a constitutional right of referendum through a substantial package aimed at beefing up the state judicial system.

The judicial package, sponsored by the courts system, includes proposals for a new judiciary complex in Hilo. revamping of the old Kona Hospital for court use and a look into the feasibility of a statewide judiciary security training facility. The same package asks for two more circuit court judges, which would bring the total on the circuit bench to 17. and authorization of full police powers for court security officers.

I SLE STYLE: Frank Bianchini has been at Rebate be for welfare may That SlOO-a-head stale lax "rebate going out to Island citizens this year may not be quite the boon it seems to some local families on welfare.

According to Helen Onoye. administrator of the income maintenance program in the Department of Social Services and Housing, the federal government has indicated the $100 must be counted as regular income. And when your income goes up. our welfare benefits go down, she said. The department has asked for a formal written ruling from Washington as to whether the special credit must be counted as income or whether it can be tallied instead as a "resource" which does not necessarily affect welfare benefits.

An answer is expected in a week or su. Onoye said. Muunwhile. she said, federal rules require the 1S.000 or so welfare families to apply for the $100 credit and other tax credits even if they believe- they'ii lose as much as they gum. The rules state that a weifure client could be disqualified if he does not apply for all the benefits he is "entitled" to In most cases.

Onoye said, there will be no gam or loss because of the special S100 credit. Welfare payments will go down by as much as the family collects that month in special credits. Some families, however, could see their medical-care benefits and even their free no-fault insurance benefits eliminated for that month if the credits push their income over acceotable Imuis. The idea. Onoe said, is that when you have more income, you should use "that money for medical costs, insurance or other needs rather than continuing to spend tax dollars.

The SlOO-a-head credit was approved, by the Legislature last year response to a constitutional requirement-, that tax money be returned whenever. the state has a 5 percent surplus far. two years running. Approximately $yu million will gp-out under the plan, which authorizes $100 for each resident. Thus, a of four would receive $400.

That one slili wasn't right. Better luck this time around! These include Kalanianaole Highway. Huleiwd bypass road, the Big Island's Queen Kuuhumanu Highway.

Kauai's Ahukmi cutoff road and Maui's Honopulani and Pulani highways. But this year the state received roughly $6 million, or 40 to 50 percent less than it was accustomed to getting. (The cutback won't affect the state's interstate highways, including the controversial' H-3 project, the director said.) Higashionna also told the House Transportation Committee yesterday that there may be mere cutbacks coming. There has been talk of reducing the 4-cent federal tax on each gallon of diesel and gasoline to 2 cents per gallon. Higashionna said.

Rep. Barbara Marumoto. representing Diamond Head to Aina Haina. said the loss of federal monies could mean that Kalanianaole Highway improvements could take 15 years to complete. The project was to be completed in sis to eight years from the start of construction scheduled in 19S4.

By Sandra S. Oshiro Government Bureau Drivers hoping for relief from the congested traffic on Kalanianaole Highway may have to put up with the bumper-to-bumper crowd a little longer because of federal cutbacks. Improvements to highways on every major island may be delayed because the federal government is giving the state less money to complete the projects, according to state Transportation Director Ryokichi Higashionna. Higashionna said he could not estimate now how long it would take to complete the highway projects which are affected. If the state makes up the loss in federal funding, there may be no delays.

Higashionna said. But if lawmakers don't agree to that, transportation officials will have to "adjust our timetable." The state was previously receiving between $10 million and $12 million in federal funds each year for "primary" highway projects.
