Noble j. NJ. Horner-Cannot as COM
petent man be got for $1,000?
Rep. Rosa-I do not think 50. 1t is a
matter of experience and promotion.
Mr.. Henry Smith is we'll versed in Ha-
waiian. His predecessor was not and
without Mr.. Smiths help he could not
have conducted the work OF that office.
Minister Brown-These appropriations
are all made i'll accordance with the
recommendation OF the Judiciary De-
partment and they are probably the best
Judges of the matter. | agree with all
that has been said as to the merit OF the
present incumbent. The member from
Hilo suggested that he might not be
occupying the office tomorrow, ard then
someone else will get what he is not en-
titled to. The salary is voted for the

Noble Widemann-$3, 900 is a good
salary and he ought to do all the Gov
eminent work for that sum.
Attorney-General Peterson - Would
move that the item pass as in the bill.
1t has been very difficult to obtain good
shorthand reporter. The Supreme Court
has made two failures in the attempt
To get a good reporter for the Court is
hard even in California.
Noble Widemann-I did not say IS 900
was large salary, butt it is good salary.
We could have got man from England
or Germany who would have done all
our work for that salary and jumped at
the chance.
Rep. Kapaehaoie-I move item pass
at s. 900. Formerly it was $4,000, now
they want to make it 5000.
Rep. Bush-Am IN favor of the item
as it stands. 1t is hard to get a good
man in the United States; good report
srs get s., 900, $4,000 and in some cases
1000 year. .
Noble Widemann-I would ask wheth- |
er the reporter furnishes report of evil |
ience to Court attorney General
Whenever desired.) l don't object to |
salary but think all the Government |
work ought to be done for it. Am in
ormed he has bill of 1000 against |
his Legislature now. That isn't flee
bite by any means.
