would support the item Is in the bill
Minister Ashford could not support the
theory that law books are luxury. 1t IS
a positive necessity to the proper admins
trstion of Justice that Judges have ali pos
sible sources of information. And 1t Is
particularly important in the case Of the
Supreme Court here, as there Is no appeal
from its decisions. To put the law library
on proper footing would need not less
than 5000.
Rep. Kinney said if he and Noble Castle
rush into each others arms they may both
get left He could not understand the
position of Noble Smith ON this question.
The hon Noble had taken q position, as a
member of the Committee on Licenses,
with which his present position does not
seem to be consistent. Ii, As the bon.
Noble now says. we are going behindhand
let us have 5000 for the law library
which will make but little difference.
Noble Castle accepted the amendment of
Rep. Deacon Law books are not a luxury F.,
they are a necessity. LuxurieS are to be
INDUCED in only occasionally. and that
perhaps may be the case with Noble Smith.
The argument that appropriations have
been made from time TO time and there
fore ought now to be stopped, would apply
with equal force 10 the salaries of Judges
and the Cabinet Ministers. The idea Sug-
geSted by hon. Noble Widemann that the
books would be all stolen from the libraries
on the other islands is only q phantaSy.
