! Rep. Nakaleka moved the bill be re-
| jected.
Noble Smith seconded the motion.
| Ii persons should go to work con
scientiOusly" on their plantations ION
Sunday, what could be done about it. The
Sunday law l. Il protection to the working
man. Ii may be said that although EN-
plOyers were TO go to work on Sunday, the
employees need not be obliged to do 50.
But the fact of the matter is, that if en-
plOyerS work, their employees will also
work, or others will be found to take their
places.
Noble Foster said he had considered it
his duty, as a representative of the people,
to introduce this bill at the request OF a
number OF his constituents He did not
wish to see the bill rudely killed.
Noble Dole favored letting the bill take
its course. He thought this was a. proper
concession to make to people holding GER
tam GGl1SlOtlS Opinions on the SUNDAY
question. If a man wants to keep the
seventh day of the week as Sunday and
does SO without interfering with other peO-
pie, he ought to be allowed to do so.
The bill was rejected, % to II.

sistent He had just voted against a re- |
ducti0n in the salary of the Inspector

amount Noble Richardson would support |
the item as recommended by the Board and |
the Ministers. Rep. Kinney asked what |
distinction there was between the Secretary
of the Board of Health and the Secretary
of the Board of Education, or the Marshal's
2ecretary, to make 50 great a difference in
Secretary of the Board of Education is
practically the executive man of that
bureau The Board meets from time to
time and leaves the Secretary to carry out
the details of whatever arrangements it
may have made. He attends to the execu-
tive work and has a large correspondence
lie had observed the Secretary during the
past year and knew him to be a very busy
man. Minister Green said be had been
some months member OF the Board of
Education and could confirm what was
said by the Attorney General. He had |
been astOnished at the quantity of detail in
that bureau. The proposed salary is not
an increase. They had come to the con
'IuSion, moreover, that a clerk was neces- |
sary to assist the Secretary. Noble Wight |
VAS in favor OF the salary recommended in
he Bill. The President or the Board was
careful man of the funds of the bureau, t
IS he had learned by experience during the
ears he had had to do with the Board and I
he thought this fact ought to go long way {
o show that the salary asked is right. {
Rep, Kinney asked if it has come to this {
hat Mr. Smith is the Board and MIR t
smith has carefully considered this item. /
Rep. Kauhane would support the salary i
Sked provided the item for clerk or asSis- t
ant is struck out, otherwise he would favor /
he $4,000. The amendment was lost, Is to t
o, and the item passed as in the bill. i
Assistant Clerk, 50 600 Rep Nakaleka | |
1Oved this be struck out. Noble Hitch b
ock said this seemed to be asking too much 2
Or clerical work in that bureau. He could
Ot see any good results from it. The re- Il
Ort had not come in until the session was \
'ell advanced, and was first presented t
'ithOut Il translation. Minister Ashford \
aid this recommendation had come from q
be Board. The Ministers had talked it >
yer on too occasions with the Board. They e
Ould not but have confidence in the judg- a
lent of such men as MesSrs. Bishop
lexander, Damon and Hall. Ministers a
ere assured by them that this is necessary.
t was with reluctance that The Cabinet \
ere convinced or its necessity, and having
cen 50 convinced they recommended it. p
