of $4,000 passed.
Mr.. Lahilahi moved the next item, "EIer Majesty
the Queen, $4,000 read $4,000.
MIR. Nawahi said that in the name of the district
which he represented, he protested against such an
expenditure. 1t bad just been said to him that il
it was for Queen Emma, he would vote for IT, lie
would not. He knew that the Hon. Member who
introduced this motion was told 10y his constitu-
ents to reduce expenses, but he vas trying to in
crease them. Former Queens got no allowance
except what they got from the King II is not so
now. The Heir Apparent, her sister, and other
member; Of the Royal Family, will expect an in
crease. II Members go ON like this they viii make
the Ministry resign. Did they think that tic At
torney. General approves of all this. Menhers
ought to look to the end Of things. The proper
N
and withdraw his amendment
Mr.. keau said that this disposition to increase
the items III the Appropriation Bill makes him feel
like leaving his seat and quitting the Assemble
hir. knlua said that lie voted for the increase to
the Kings allowance SO that it would ienef the
Queen. He did not think that the Hon. Member
for Honolulu, Mr. Iahilahi, could get up and give
one good reason why this amount should be in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t cannot be said
that the King has cast her aside and that she has
to provide for herself He moved that the item
pass as in the Bill
DIR. j. Mott Smith said IL was not usual TO debate
on the third reading of the Bill, or they had n
years work before them. He moved the previous
question.

Mr. Ahoo moved that the allowance to the Heir
Apparent be Increased to $4,000 He did not
make this motion because he was appointed Tax
Assessor, as some people minated but becau e
she Is the Heir Prosutnptve, and that is goo /
reason. lie alluded in praiseworthy terms to the
manner in which II. K. H. behaved during the
small pox epidemic She proved that she had a
mind of her own. Numerous petitions we're
brought to bear on her, which, if granted, might
have proved disastrous to the nation, but she said
No '" and the result was that the small pox was
confined to this island. The allowance il smaller
than that to the Ministers. Does it look RIGHT tina t
the Ministers should receive a larger salary than
the Herr Presumptive? This increase is n small
matter and it is better that this Assembly should
pass it without any discussion. There is no reason
TO allegc against it. He moved the previous ques-
ton.
Mr. Isenberg said he wished to speak,
The President explained his idea of the previous
question when made by the mover of an amend
ment. He referred to precedent in 1876, at when
time he ruled it out of order but the ruling of the
President was overruled by an app al to the As
semhly. MIR. lsenberg appealed from the ruling of
the Chair
Slr Aholo said that this Assembly were not n
parcel of boys that make rules day and depart
from them the next.
The Attorney General said he was sorry TO hay @
to DO SO, but he must support the ruling of the
Chair 1t had been the practice during lie foar
sessions that he had had the honorto havea seat in
caily altered by rule, similar question arose
in 1916, when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs
moved the passage of the Bill to ratify the Reel
procity Treaty. He moved that the Bill be read n
third time. and then moved the previous question
The President occupied the same position as he
does now. he ruled that it could not be done. An
appeal was made, and 1t was debated for FIVE or
six days. The House did not sustain the position
taken by the President and since that time that
ruling has been acted upon. Therefore, until TINS
Assembly thinks fit to make another rule this orc
must remain binding, however much against his
own convictions.
Mr.. Isenberg said there was no printed rule. and
this Assembly has the right to change the custom
every session.
On the votes being cast, the ruling of the Chair
was sustained The ayes and noes on the proposed
amendment were taken with the following result:
