Noble Macfarlanc would like to
ask the hon. members from Hawaii
if they could not consistently Join
in cutting down this item. The
House was going on increasing the
bill at every step, and something
ought TO be done in Che way of re-
duction.
Rep. Hookano said this might he
done if the hon. Noble for Oahu
would set good example by pro-
posing reductions in the large appro-
| priations for that island.
Noble Macfarlane was prepared
TO fight every item in the bill for q
| reduction wherever it could he eff
fected He had the assurance from
hon. Noble Cornwell of Maui, who
was absent, that he would concur in
reducing the appropriations for that
island. The members on the back
row might be very able financiers,
but, if there was conspiracy to at
tack the independence of this king
| dom, it could not be more effectu-
ally aided than by piling up the ap-
preparations beyond the financial re-
sources of the country. The news
that had arrived to-day of free sugar
in the United States should he a
warming to members in behalf of
economy in public expenditures.
There were taxation bills before the
House which would reduce the taxes
materially, and he was informed of
a shrinkage in the Postal Savings
Bank deposits. (Rep. Hookano
raises the point that the hon. Noble
is not speaking on the item before
the House.) The speaker said he
was giving reasons for asking the
members from Hawaii if they would
consent to reduction in this item
Rep. Paehaole wanted to know what
the remarks of the previous speaker
had to do with roads and bridges
He was prepared to vote agains
anything that was not indispens
able, but roads and bridges were 8
necessity to maintain in good order
Hawaii was the largest island in the
group. The late Government, il
preparing the bill, had doubtless put
this item in after mature considera
ton of the wants of the island. HI
was prepared to support the recon-
mendation of the late Cabinet. Will
regard TO the remark on the bacl
row, he would say that they were al
stars in that House, although the,
might differ in magnitude. The hon
Noble had passed the civil list ant
many other items, where econom,
might have been exercised, but wa
silent until these necessary appro
priations were reached. He did no
move to cut down H. M. IS Chamber
lain's salary from $4,000. Road
and bridges were among the mos
necessary subjects of liberality an
should be dealt with accordingly.
Noble Macfarlane said that tn
hon. members reference to His Ma
jesty's affairs, the Chamberlain
salary, etc., were not worthy of cor
!. sideration. He was silent wit
regard to the appropriations fc
: His Majesty and Household, bt
cause he considered those were maj
tiers to be dealt with by the Cabine
The personal references of the hor
member were unworthy of notice
, He was making an honest atteml
to keep the expenditures within til
income of the country, and, if
could be done, he was prepared
go back to the beginning of the bill
for the reduction of salaries frol
His Majesty's down.
Rep. Richard was in favor {
J economy, but did not think TIL
item was the place to begin. I'll
Government had placed it thel
after careful consideration of ii
needs of the island.
Noble Isenberg was pleased viii
| the remarks of the hon. Noble fro
Oahu, and hoped that when the II
hiti subsidy came up he would vo
against it, for that was swindl
lie was sorry to see the hon Mob
voting this morning to bring up u
san Diego swindle again. llawa
had wFetched roads.
Noble Hind No roads at all.
Noble Isenberg would like TO 81
salaries reduced generally, but roal
and bridges must be kept in goo
condition, lie moved the pTeYioI
question, which carried.
