than the God in Heaven. The Min
lister of Finance said he had never
thought of looking into the public
safe till half an hour ago. Then he
opened the safe door and found there
wasn't dollar left. (Laughter.)
Noble Kauhane moved TO strike
out the subsidy, and then the COM
pany would have free houses, wharf
age, buoys and lights.
Noble Macfarlane could see no
possibility of developing an import
ant trade between H,lo and San
Diego. He was not surprised at
Noble Horner's attitude, as he has
been on his feet to defend every ex-
travagant item ranging from $780,
600 up. In the discussion of finances
he has been watching the spigot
while water was running from the
bung. He had given n very glowing
description of the 1901 people
in San Diego waiting to eat the Hilo
bananas. You would think they
were all on the beach waiting for the
Hilo steamer to come in. He could
tell them that there was nothing like
100000 people in San Diego, nor
even 10000. There is no trade be-
tween Hilo and San Diego that is
worth developing at this time, in
consideration of the amount asked
for. 1t was not true that products
could be landed cheaper from San
Diego than from San Francisco.
Their first shipload of hay was stored
for two months on the Esplapade.
1t was of an inferior quality and
could not compete with the ship
ments by sailing vessel from San
Francisco, several invoices of which
were sold while the San Diego ship
ments could not be disposed of. 1
would like to ask the member from
Hilo and the Noble from Hamakua
what they propose to load a 1900
ton ship with. Up to date they have
not succeeded in obtaining single
contract for return freights.
Rep. Nawahi asked if the Noble
would vote for the bill if he would
tell him.
Noble Macfarlane-Yes, if am
convinced there will be sufficient
freight for the vessels.
Rep. Nawahi said all the mer-
chants of Hilo had promised to
furnish freight.
Noble Macfarlane said they might
pick up some stray beans, corn or
dried apples, but he meant sugar
freights.
Rep. Nawahi said perhaps the
hon. Noble had relatives in the hay
and feed business.
Noble Macfarlane said that cut no
figure in the discussion. The coun-
try could not afford to pay any adj
ditional subsidies when we were
already provided with adequate
steamer service. He thought it was
about time that we were looping off
some of the crazy appropriations
that the House had been making
instead of piling up additional bur-
dens for the Taxpayers to meet.
Rep. Nawahi said one of the SUI
gar companies promised their sugar.
Noble Macfarlane-That is not a
contract,
Noble Hind-That is not con-
tract.
Rep. Nawahi said the hon. Noble
(Macfarlane) seemed to be working
In the interest of relatives in the
feed business.
Noble Macfarlane said the feed
business of his relatives was neither
here nor there. There was no
danger of competition in that bust
ness from San Diego, for it had
been tried before and failed.
Rep. Nawahi was putting more
questions.
! Noble Widemann rose to point
of order. Who had the floor? Were
they TO listen to conversation be-
tween two members?
The President-The hon. Noble
is right, but it is only fifteen min
utes since he was engaged in dis
cussion with another member across
the floor.
Noble j. M. Horner wished to adj
dress himself to Noble Baldwin who
had one of the most logical minds
here. (Applause.) He would not
dispute what the Noble said, it was
not safe to do that, but he wished
to refer to his argument that this
line was premature. Would natives
and others go to planting if there
was no steamer to take their pro.
ducts? When the steamer came they
might plant. When they saw the
steamer pushing its bows in every
month they would have faith and
energy and wonld go to planting.
But if we wait till there are lots OF
lemons, oranges and bananas before
we pun on the steamers we'll never
do anything. One word more. The
hon. Noble (Noble Macfarlane) has
mentioned my name pretty fire.
