body. He said we are putting too
much work on the poor Ministers,and
the House should bear part of it.
Minister Thurston said that the
amendment was q brilliant 6idca and
he was sorrp that the committee did
not have the advice of the honorable
member when the bill was drafted,
as also the bills relating to the APP |
pointment of pound masters, police
men and other officers. This amcnd-.
ment is about on par with the
amendment of the honorable Noble
Smiths. His amendment gives B
members the power to elect the AS
SCISSOR for Kauai, and Rep. Browns
amendment gives the whole lS mem.
bers the power.
Noble Young spoke against the
amendment of Noble Smith. He
thought the appointing power should
be in the hands of the Ministry and
not in the hands of the Mobiles, as
they are as rule property-holders
and interested in the appointment.
He was in favor of the Tax Assessor
having no one over him but the Min
lister, and if the Minister does not
do right, we will soon get rid of him.
Rep. Kauhi spoke at some length
in favor of the bill as presented by
the Ministry.
The members left the House one
by one until there was not quorum,
and still the honorable member kept
on with his speech. After talking
some time to empty seats, he moved
that the House adjourn until 10 q.
M. Saturday. AS soon as the mo-
ton was put the members focked in
from the lobby and defeated it.
Noble Young then moved the pre-
vious question, which was carried.
All the amendments except that
proposed by Noble Hitchcock were
lost, and the section passed as
amended.
Noble Smith moved to amend Sec
tion a by striking out the word
"Collector." He spoke of the un-
soundness of one man occupying
both positions. He believed that
putting the two offices together with
out any more restriction than in this
bill an unwise measure.
Minister Thurston said that the
honorable Noble was an enemy to this
bill and he did not want any of his
amendments in the bill, unless he
could show q better cause for such
amendments than he has done so far.
Noble Smith said the spirit shown
by the Minister was not very credita-
BILE to himself. The amend
ment was not frivolous, and he did
not offer it as an enemy TO the bill.
He said that he, as Il representative
of the people, had right to be
heard in this House as well as the
Minister, and he offered the amend
ment in good faith and the action of
the Minister of the Interior only re-
acts on himself as it is simply can
tankerous.
The amendment was lost.
Sections l to Z inclusive,were read
and passed.
Minister Ashford moved to con-
slider the veto message of His Maj
esty.
That motion was withdrawn and a
motion made that the House take up
the order of business, resolutions.
Rep. Kamauoha spoke against the
motion. The Assessors bill had
been made special order of the
day for to-day, and the Ministry
had urged the passed of this bill, as
the bill relating to the office of Gov
ernor was depending on the passage
of this bill. Now they want to drol
this bill and go on to something else
Minister Ashford's motion was
carried.
The President then announced
= formally that veto message ha'
T been received from His Majesty
4 which the Secretary would read.
l Minister Ashford offered reso
: luton to the effect that the bill re
. turned to this House by His Ma
i jesty, not signed, be re-consideret
forthwith.
Rep. Kapaehaole moved to re-
consider the bill on the 10Th of thi!
, month.
: Rep Kinney spoke in favor of 8
reconsideration at once. He sale
, the House was in possession of fact
, to act intelligently in the premises
, The bill passed by large majority
and he considered it safe to recon
, slider now.
8 Rep. Kamauoha spoke against th
resolution. He said that the rule
: say that the House shall fix a day
t and as he took it, it meant a da,
n other than the one in which tn
message was received.
Noble Smith said he would lik
to have the Ministry state to tn
!. House whether or not they advised
s the veto.
