Encouragement of Immigration, $50 900
Noble Baldwin moved $4,000. A smalle
vote would cripple the industries of the
country, and force the planters to employ
Chinese instead of japanese and Portu
guese. Rep. F. Brown moved to strike ou
the item. The country is full Of people
out OF work. Some are obliged to 20 ou1

in Government importing labor tor the
plantations. The item should be named
. Encouragement of sugar plantations
Noble Castle said he had been looking foI
two men for some time, but could not get
them. Rep. Kinney thought the Govern
ment should aid every good enterprise.
In other countries the control of immigra-
ton is one OF the functions of government.
The trouble Is not in the scarcity OF labor,
but that we have not control of it. When
| we can enact laws to compel men to en-
gage in honest labor or get out, the
labor question will be more than half
solved. He moved the item be deferred
until the constitutional questions submit
ted, on Tuesday, to the Supreme Court,
are answered. Carried.

as much as any other. If the Minister will
To- - I'll
| consent to wait two years for this grant,
especially in view of the pressing wants of
other districts that have no roads, and the
large sums already voted for Oahu. Rep.
f. Brown said a change seemed to have
come over the spirit of the Minister of
Interior. 1t appears as If he could not
hold his place except at the pleasure of the
honorable gentleman from Maui. Koolau-
poke had evidently fallen under the dis
pleasure of this Ministry, in more ways
than one. The district had Government
physician in Mr.. Gibsons time, now il has
none. Large appropriations had formerly
been made for this road although they had
not been expended. Several people have
been killed during the past eight years by
rocks falling down the mountain. The
road supervisor with his wife and child
had narrow escape with their lives re-
Gently. Accidents of this kind may hap
again, the members who vote against this
appropriation ought to be indicted for man
slaughter. If any of the members who
vote to strike out the item get killed there
he will have very great pleasure in attend
ing their funerals, The hon. Noble Bald
win is willing to strike this out, but he
voted for road to the top of Haleakala.
The Pail road is dangerous and therefore

$4,000, which sum he moved to insert.
Noble Waterhouse said there is no log
rolling about this. 1t is one of the most
important items the House has to
consider. He asked Noble Baldwin if
the Finance Committee had had COM
munication with persons from the
districts beyond the Pail. Noble Baldwin
said they had interviewed merchants in
Honolulu. Rep. Kinney said he would
like to see an estimate OF exactly how much
money is likely to be available for all pur-
poses of the Government. Minister Thurs
ton said he could see that by referring to
Ministerial reports Noble Waterhouse
moved this item be referred to a select
committee. Noble Baldwin disclaimed
Rep. Browns statement that he had spell
bound the Minister of Interior. He was
rather of the opinion that his communities
tons with him had the contrary effect. |
much for roads in some places and too
little in others. Oahu is well provided |
with roads. In other islands some roads |
are merely goat paths. Noble Young said |
the Pail road is important and ought to |
have been built long ago. 1t is easy to do |
things when we know where We are going |
to get the money. 1t is absolute nonsense |
one there now, for 5000 His only OBJ |

to build it.
The item was referred to a select COM
mittee.
