pass as in the bill.
Rep. Dole asked whether the
member for Wailuku considered the .
present incumb,nt a credit to his
position or not.
Rep. Richardson did not know .
that he was not.
Rep. Dole remarked that the |
member had said a good Judge
could not be got for $1,000. and
yet said that the judge receiving
that salary was u good one. He
denied the charge that had been
made, that the Opposition were for
increasing the salaries of white men
and reducing those of natives. He
himself had voted to reduce the
salaries of white men and even in
troduced resolutions to do away
with some Of them. The Ministry
had complained that the last Legis-
lature had run away with the Appro-
priation Bill.
Minister Neumann asked the hon.
member where he got his informa-
ton that the Ministers had com
planned that the last Legislature had
run away with the Appropriation
Bill.
Rep. Dole said they had the
statements of the Government organ
and also the statement of his friend
the hon. member for Molokai that
1 the Minister of Finance made that
his election campaign. They also
| had the statement of the Minister
! Of the Interior the other day that
some of the most important items
were left out of this bill to be put
in by the Legislature Before they
got through the Appropriation Bill
would amount to about S4,000,0 600.
Now, where was all that money to
come from! He believed in hand
ing down to their successors either
Il small debt or no debt at all. At
the theatre last night he believed
that some of the native members
were demoralized by seeing the per-
former making money ont of the
| IL
iugglery on them, he hoped they
would not 60 to see Prof Anderson
again.
Rep. Dickcy told story to illus
trate the folly of appropriating more
money than the revenues Of the
country would afford.
Minister Neumann did not know
as yet how he should vote, but be-
leved he should follow the recon-
mendaton of the Chief Justice.
But in the preachments that they
occasionally got for retrenchmcnt
he found that the hon. member for
Lihue spoke sometimes of impress
sions, and, in that search after
knowledge and truth which every
body had, he should like to ask the
hon. member what he meant as the
"Government organ" Was it an
editor, Il lawyer or Il legislator! He
asked if the house should hold the
l Ministry responsible for what ap-
pears in what the hon. member
called the Government organ" OF
, in that newspaper which he (the
member for Lihue) conducted.
Rep. Dole asked where the Attor.
a ney-General got his "impression'
| that he was the conductor Of q news,
Y paper.
Minister Ncumann said he re-
ceived it where the hon. member
u got his impressions-down on thu
e street. When had the Cabine
V made use of the expression that tn,
i Legislature Of two years ago, o
which the hon. members side wa
the strongest, had run away will
u the Appropriation Bill! He wanted
n to know whether, in an argument il
s this house, statements made in las
9 campaign are to be attributed t.
other persons than those who hat
V made them. Cabinet members ha,
l. never given utterance to anything
d of the sort. For the purpose o
Ie holding them responsible they shoul
- have said something of the sort
- The statement was of piece wit
e. the information scattered broadcas
during the campaign that the Min
istry advocated lottery schem
I and ten million dollar loan. il
which there was not n particle O
/, truth, and which in political contro
versy should not be allowed. II
liked the hon. member for Lihue fo
his personal qualities, but woul
protest against his bringing in slur
on the Cabinet at times when it
not appropriate. The speaker ha
10 no doubt the hon. member woul
help his cause for the next tw
no years by that course-he had alread
,d helped it for the last two years
ne The result of his tactics had bee
III such that in districts where his me
I'd had been so good that they shoul
rv not have been beaten, they had n
he been beaten.

NJ house.
