DDS OF doing business are popular with
the masses. Their trade has increas-

THE WORD WHITE,

The speaker said he had never seen
Democrat who knew that the word
white was not in the Constitution. He
was born in Louisa county and was not
ashamed OF it. His mother and ia
Their were buried there and he had no
apology to make for it. The best white
and black blood in the State ran in
his veins, and he apologized TO no n,an
for it. The word white was tot in
either the decalogue, the Sermon on
the Mount, or the Declaration OF In
tendance. Starting in the kitchen it
was doing to reach the parlor. Being
born in negro quarters, isn't it mag
nificent to enter the hall OF the House
Of Representatives? If Democrats
there from New York or elsewhere
should taunt him with being colored he
would remind them that he was their
equal now. There was no distinction
between white and colored young
men 1t was time for the negro to 60
cheek by jowl with the white man."

TUESDAY, August 5

TUESDAY, August 5.
The House met at 10 AN. PRAYER
by the Chaplain. Minutes read and
approved.
Rep. Kalua for the Judiciary Com
mittee reported that the bill introduced
by Rep. Lucas raising the legal rate of
boat hire will not result in any hard
ship to the public and recommend its
passage.
The report was adopted and Friday
was fixed for the third reading.
Noble j. NJ. Horner reported for COM
mittee appointed on resolution inquiring
into the use of public revenue in Homo
lulu for the protection of private prop
erty in which the public has no interest.
The report of the committee is prelimin-
airy merely and deals only with the
market, water works and electric light.
The committee find that these three par
ticular branches of expenditure are more
or less remunerative, and promise to
yield the Government an income which
will furnish the Government a good re-
turn on its capital, over and above the
annual expenditure and recommend that
the appropriation asked for be made.
Noble Baldwin-The report was pre-
sented to me yesterday. l agreed with
all the recommendations except that
with regard to the electric lights. l
think the committee ought not to make
any recommendation in regard to that
without looking into it more carefully.
The committee ought to go up Nuuanu
Valley and look into the question of
water supply. was going to propose
going up there this afternoon, That is
the only reason why have not signed
the report. The Government is asking
FOR 1921 900 for water works and $44 900
for the electric lights. The amounts are
certainly large and this is something
which requires careful investigation.
Noble j. NJ Horner stated that if the
committee got any further light, it could
report again on these same points
There was really no great difference of
opinion between the hon. Noble and the
rest of the committee.
The report was laid on the table to be
considered with the Appropriation Bill.
Minister Brown for Minister Spencer

FOrtv-eighth Day.

WEDNESDAY. Aug. 6.
House met at 10 A. NJ. Prayer by
Chaplain. Minutes read and approved.
Rep. Brown asked whether there was
any decision of the Chair on the vote
on the Third Judicial Circuit Bill.
President Walker-There was not. l
announced the vote. didn't get an op-
portunity to say that the bill was indie
finitely postponed.
Rep. Kapaehaole thinks President is
mistaken. Vote was taken twice, and
got up and moved a reconsideration.
showing that there must have been time
for the President to make the announce
ment.
President Wslker-There is nothing
before the House.
Rep. Kapaehaole said that there was.
Rep. Brown moved to reconsider the
vote.
Rep. Kalua wanted to know whether
the said bill was unfinished business or
not. If it is, then the motion to recon
slider is out Of order.
Rep. Brown-I admit that
Rep. kalua-1 think we must clear up
this matter here.
Rep. Brown-The President can decide
the matter right now, and that will stop
all discussion at once.
Rep. Kalua said when the President
announced that there were SO many ayes
and so many noes, that ends the matter.
The bill was defeated.
President Walker-It is not unfinished
business. My only mistake, if any. was
in not stating that the bill was indefinite
ly postponed. The House had the vote
before them. A motion to reconsider is
in order.
Rep. Kalua thought the motion to
reconsider was not now in order under
Rule 78.
Rep. Brown-It is in order at any time,
and takes precedence of everything else.
The President SO ruled.

Rep. Rickard-I merely make the
statement to show that we have not

mentioned in the report, are of the most
approved kind.
to discuss the question, and we gain no.
thing by discussing IL twice.
Rep. Luca~-l was one OF the Com
mittee who recommended the extension
of time. This piece OF cable which has
been brought in is something which was
thrown away. 1t was picked up by a
boat boy. l think the Government
already has good guarantee. The com
pany has $4,000 or $4,000 worth of
stuff already here, which will be forfeited
if the company does not carry out its con-
tract. If l were not on the committee l
would move the report be accepted and
the bill read third time.
Noble Widemann-The committee
recommend the unconditional passage of
the bill. There is a long rigmarole of
good intentions in the report.
The bill was laid on table to be con-
sidered with the minority report.
Noble Burchardt gave notice of bill
amending the law relating to licensing
dairies
Rep. Kalua reads by title an act to
authorize the manufacture and sale of
opium.
The bill by motion was read second
time by title and referred to the commit
tee on opium matters and ordered
printed.
Noble Mccarthy read by title an Act
to compel Government officials to pur-
chase supplies, etc., in this Kingdom,
and to prohibit importation of the same.
2. To amend Sec. l. 2 and 8, Chap. SO,
Session Laws of 1886.
Rep. Halstead gave notice of an Act
amending the law with regard to pounds
and estrays.
Noble Pua-Resolved that the matter
of the pay of the keeper of the Royal
Mausoleum be referred to select COM
mlttee.
Minister Brown-ln the first place the
statement made in the resolution is not
the statement made. There is an item
of 5000 in the Appropriation Bill for ex-
penses of Royal Mausoleum. 1t is dis
bursed by the Hon. A. S. Cleghorn. |
There is no specific mention of pay of |
keeper.
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Baker-Whereas petition from
Hilo has been received requesting the
removal of Government physicians, re-
solved that the said petition is taken
from the Sanitary Committee and re-
ferred to the Special Committee on Gov
physicians.
The resolution was adopted.
Rep. Rice asks for more time for said

Rep. Kalua-I did not sign the report
as had not time to read and consider it
carefully. l thought the company
ought to furnish some guarantee that
they will really complete the work
in the specified time. l therefore move
that the report be laid on the table until
| can bring in report
Noble Widemann-That the thing is
a swindle is amply proved by the late
Minister OF Foreign Affairs taking Zee
of $1,000 dollars for looking after the in
terests OF the company. Mr. Bartholomew
is my authority. l know this now. l
did not know it two years ago. opposed
the bill because Of the insufficient means
provided. To connect Hawaii and Kauai
with decent cable will cost 5000, 600 l
am not opposed to cable. l would vote
for good one, but it is rubbish that We
are going to have. $2l 900 can be no
nducement to healthy corporation to
construct cable. They had this induce
ment offered two years ago, and under it
they brought US this (showing speci-
men OF the cable laid) | do not object
to extending the time with a new con-
tract. But we would not have either of
the cables shown US now for subsidy OF
$4,000. l am ready to vote 800, 900 for
the object. 1t will necessitate a new
law. L can't vote for a cable like this
that they have tried to stave us off with.
fully agree with the member from Wal
luku that they ought to furnish guar
antee that they will really do what they
agree to. 1t was the same with the gas
company. They would have the law.
1t stands on the Statute book, but the
gas is not here yet. l second the motion
to table the report until Rep. Kalua can
bring in his report.
Rep. Rickard-The report was pre-
sented to the hon. member from Wailuku
to sign. He read it, read it twice, and
made no objection to it beyond the state
ment that he thought it ought to be
translated.
Rep. Kalua-I stated at the last COM
mlttee meeting, not this morning.
