Leader Of Low Prices,


by the Legislature, that l felt that
it was for the good of the country
and for the personal benefit of His
Majesty that he should not act in
any manner contrary to the express
ed wish of the House, who 1 felt
sure represented the feelings of the
best citizens of the Kingdom and
that such wishes were distinctly
shown in their renewed expressions
after a veto
RESOLUTIONS AND BILLS.
Rep. G. Brown gave notice of
bill to repeal Chap. 40 of the laws
of 1880.
Rep. Kalaukoa presented a reso-
luton to the effect that certain
gate on the Kapiolani road was
locked and requested that the Min
lister of the Interior to order it
opened as it is an old right of way.
The House ruled that the resolu-
ton was out of order.
Noble Richardson read first
time bill to amend the session
laws relating to divorce.
On motion the bill was ordered
not printed.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
The House went into Committee
of the Whole, Noble Townsend in
the Chair, to consider the Appropri-
alton Bill.
The first business done was the
reconsideration of the item 50, 800
for two bridges at Waihee, Maui.
The motion to insert this amout was
lost.
Noble Richardson moved to in
sert $4,000 for bridges at Honoko-
hau and Kahakuloa, Maui.
Minister Thurston said there
would probably be more items ask
ed for for such purposes, but if one
member after the other gets up and
asks for appropriation under this
head, which the members must know
is estimated from receipts derived
from q loan upon which 6 per
cent has to be paid, he would
fore suggest that the contingent
fund be raised from $4,000 to
$50, 900 to cover all these necessary
OUTLAWS, and stop this itemizing and
swelling the Appropriation Bill out
of all proportion to the amount of
money likely to be received.
Noble Richardson asked to with
draw his motion.
Rep. Helekunihi moved to insert
$4,000 for u road from Olinda to the
top of Haleakala. Lost.
Unexpended road tax for the sew
eral districts, $52, S52.14.
Road damages, $4,000.
The item of S43, 600 for electric
lights was next discussed.
Minister Thurston said that hi
was socialist enough TO advocate tina
the Government should take charg,
of and operate such works as rail
roads, gaslighting, telegraphs, etc
He did not know what the matter
was with the editor of the BULLETIN
he must suffer some in his corpor-
osity, or is he looking for prospec-
tive profits from private electric
light company? 1t is a fact thai
this country would not have had {
Hotel, had not the Government
built It. 1t ran the first steamer il
the inter island trade successfully
1t built marine railway which
would not have been built had thu
Government not taken the matter il
hand, and he believed that the Gov
eminent would yet have to builC
hotels on the other islands in orde
to start the thing. He believed tina
the Government should operat,
these different systems for anothe
reason, and that was to cheaper th,
expense to the public. What pro
fits there are in the business go t,
the taxpayers and not to corpora
ton.
Noble Baldwin moved TO refer tn
item to n select committee.
Noble Smith favored the motio
and said that he did not agree wit
the Minister of the Interior, in hav
ing Government run these things
He wants to know what lightin!
private houses with electricity has
to do with developing the resource
of the country, and he questioned
the wisdom of borrowing money TO
any such purpose, particularly whe
private parties are ready and wait
ing to get a franchise to light tn
town.
Minister Ashford said he did nc
see any particular reason why thi
should not be left to committee
unless perhaps it might cause delay
He said he must answer some of til
antiquated propositions and remark
of the last speaker. The Ministe
poke of several cities where the Gov
eminent controlled the gas works, AN
in some countries bakeries, brewerie;
ETC., are controlled by the Govern
, ment. This was a proposition t
give to the Government an incom
of about % per cent on the outlay
, and thus reduce the cost of the SUI
ply to the consumers.
Noble Baldwin said he sided wit
