took up the paper one evening and saw
that he had gone to Waialua because he
could make more money there. l felt
very ugly about that and said | would
never have anything more TO do with the
Board OF Health. I'll have my own ply
sician. So l got one and paid him Sl200
But he was soon in with the Board again.
! gave up resisting. This is what l cali
favoritism OF the clearest water. What
/ want is to get rid OF favOritism. l shall
favor the motion to insert the schedule
Of the Committee in the bill, with the
addition prepared by Noble Mccarthy
and TO 90 hallway, s. 900 OF the $4,000
vroposed bv the member from Hamakua.
Minister Peterson-This appropriation
put in this way, s. 900 for emergencies,
cannot meet the wish either of the men,
Der Tor Kohala or Hamakua. Nothing
could be taken from this fund to add to
1he salary OF any physician, no matter
how much work he might have. A ply
sician with a small salary might resign
or die and it might not be possible TO get
another for the same paw The district
would have TO 20 without any physician

each salary voted separately. The peo-
pie seemed to be dying faster than when
there were fewer doctors. Doctors were
ike lawyers and made business for them
selves. Some OF the country physicians
were not competent. The spread OF lep-
rosy was partially due to the bungling
way OF vaccinating. Everybody who goes
70 the leper settlement goes to make
money, except Father Damien. We see
the Attorney-Generali OF conclllat-
ing the poor lepers, shamelessly sending
up police to overawe them. L think the
President OF the Board OF Health, in
whom have very little confidence, shows
favoritism.
Rep. Kauhi said this discussion shows
that delay is dangerous. If we had
passed it il would have been $35 900. We
delayed it and the Committee want S40,-
900. We delay again and now $45 900 is
wanted. We are thinking about the
money now, not the lives of the people.
Rep. Rickard Withdrew his motion IN
favor OF that of Noble Widemann
The item passed at $44, 200 to be ap-
portioned as recommended by the Com
nIttes.
Rep. Kalua moved the whole report of
the Committee as amended be adopted.
Noble J. NJ. Horner was opposed to
this motion which would make the Pres
ident OF the Board of Health a layman.
Noble Widemann rose to question of
order. This Committee could only dis
cuss the Appropriation Bill.
Rep. Kalua said it was perfectly in or
Ger here. The report was laid on the
table to be considered with the Appro-
priation Bill.
Noble Walker said that discussion of the
whole report was out OF order. The
matter of the President being layman
or physician is matter for discussion
IN the House. 1t is not before US. We
are here to discuss the Appropriation
Bill. II we refer anything to commit
Zee that committee reports, not to US but
70 the House.
Noble Muller moved the Committee |
rise and report progress. The object was
70 enable the House to take up the Rail |
Road Bill and dispose OF it.
Noble Phillips ruled that discussion on |
the report was out OF order
The Committee rose and its report was
The House adjourned at 8 Pm.
