OrtfTf OF fhe day.
Consideration Of the appropriation bill.
4 Mr.. Kalua: 81 would ask why an item for
road damages is not inserted in the bill"
Mr.. w. O. SMITH This information
ought to be given before we proceed further. "
Minister Gulck 90 | would like TO have
the following twelve items referred to special
committee: Repairs of government buildings,
repairs and furniture for Aliiolani Hale, build
ing and repairs of court houses and lockups,
improvement and extension to Oahu Jail, new
steam tug and steam launch. dredging the har-
Dor, new wharvss and repairs, Honolulu, aid
to the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society,
general Improvement Of public grounds,
squares and nurseries, road damages.
Mr.. w. y. Smith ''The minister shows a
great deal Of ignorance in not being able TO
answer questions about his department"
Mr.. Dole " Ii is the duty of the ministers,
for which they are paid, 10 present to the
house financial budget This appropriation
enough. The ministers ought TO be well pre-.
pared with estimates, they can do it, and they
must.
Mr. Widemann g Surprising committee
were appointed, it would be incompetent to
make estimates. How are we to know the
cabinets intentions about road damages II
looks as If the ministers wanted to put their
work on to this house.
Mr.. lsenberg ''On returning home | am
sorry TO find that all the items in the appro.
pration bill have been passed as they came in
| thought the figures would have been cut
down. There is no way Of getting the rev
enue but from sugar and rice | have just
/ returned from the coast and ind that both are
very low in the market and likely to be FOL
some time to come. The expenditures before
the house are nearly rs much as the income.
i Are they going to borrow and run in debit
| do not agree with the appropriation bill. Il
should have been cut down 20 per cent iron
the kings salary downwards.
= Mr.. Bishop: 1" The time is past when III,
Ministers have no opinions about expenditures
of the county, and are unwilling to take an,
responsibility. This thing tthe appropriation
!, bilD is presented to the house as bulge
: called for by the constitution. What is under
stood by budget' II is what the minister,
recommend to be passed. Does anyone be
4 lieve that the government would have wishee
: to have had il passed as it Isl Why ha7,
, they under the circumstances, provided fo
new offices and the raising OF salaries9 II
ii 1904 II vas provided that the minister OF Il
, nance should present budget. They did SO, anS
(, put IN everything that they thought was wante,
: and were able TO pay for. This document i
put in as an intention TO economic, so that /
!. The appropriation exceeds the revenue, tn
!, responsibility will rest with the house. II i
: a clear instance of assuming virtue and hav
, ing il not. The budget is one OF the mos
!. important parts Of a minister OF finance
. duties"
: Minister Guick "There are variou
. reasons why the items should be referred to
special committee. Estimates are all read
in my office"
: MI Smith "Then why didn't you brinl
them in here p
