Rep. r. W. Wilcox believed the object
was good, but the bin should so to .
committee.
The motion to refer the bill to the
Judiciary committee carried.
An Act to encourage a larger circula'
ton Of that certain publication called
"rhe Paradise OF the Pacific" IL pro-
vides $4,000 10 aid in the publication
and distribution OF the paper named.
Noble Mccarthy moved the bill be
referred 10 the Committee on Commerce,
SO that the publishers eonld have an
opportunity Of conveying Information
To the House.
Rep. Nawahi moved the bill be in
definitely postponed.
Rep. Hind seconded the amendment.
Millions of copies OF this paper had been
distributed 10 little or no purpose, and il
was ridiculous TO expend so much money
in this manner under the pretext of en-
couraging tourist travel.
Noble Maciarlane did not like to see
any bull indefinitely postponed. The bill
should 80 10 committee for the purpose
OF gaining information. As 70 the means
proposed, the same thing had been en-
ployed with success in California. The
encouragement OF tourist travel to the
islands should be encouraged in every
possible way.
Rep. Paehaole supported the indefinite
postponement Ii was all very we'll for
the honorable Noble to say he did not
like such treatment of bills, but the
action of that gentleman and others on
the fishery bill yesterday was not yet
cold.
Noble Maefarlane explained that the
fishery bill had been rejected session
after session.
Rep. Paehaole took the honorable
Noble at his own word. The bill to en-
courage the Paradise of the Pacific had
been rejected last session after long
fight
Noble Macfarlane wanted to be under
stood The fishery BID was not thrown
out TILL II had been to a committee, and
ali he advocated was that this bill should
be committed.
hep. Paehaole contended that the
Paradise OF the Pacific, with its twenty
four issues in two years, was less valu-
able than the regular newspapers in
advertising the country abroad.
Noble Won Tempsky called the speaker
TO order, as ne had spoken fifteen min
utes.
Noble kauhane was in favor of the
bill being referred to committee. He
thought 1t would have been better if last
Legislature had given assistance to this
paper. People abroad were not too well
informed about this country. There
had been an increase of tourist travel |
the past two years. He had seen the !
SfaQmarS I
many strangers, most of whom were |
tourists who would spend a great deal of |
money in the country.
Rep. Nawahi was still in favor of his
motion. 1t was not certain that the in |
crease in travel was due to this paper
by and by the Bulletin would claim to |
nave helped and ask for subsidy. Then |
Dan Lyons would come along and ask |
ior aid Tor hls paper, and even Mr. Bush |
himself might want subsidy.
Noble Mccarthy spoke OF the benefit |
OF similar publications in booming
Southern California. The publishers re-
fused offers OF advertisements OF patent |
medicines every mail, because their OBJ
lect Was wholly to advertise Hawaii. Al
though he knew that three members of
the Committee on Commerce were hos
tile to the bill, he was willing that it
should 60 before them for investigation.
Rep. kauhi said the bill provided
800 month out OF the treasury to these
publishers, and wanted to know if the
treasury would get anything in return.
Noble Mccarthy said not at present,
but indirect benefits to the country were
expected which would repay the expen-
diture.

Rep. kauhi considered it a bad bill.
and 1t should be killed before it did any
harm. If parents saw a centipede ap-
preaching child in cradle, they would
not wait till it got at the child and bit it.
u the honorable Noble wanted to know
what harm was il the bill, let him come
to his house and he would give him
to listen to all night.
Rep. Lucas thought il would not cost
more II the bill was referred toa COM
nIttee. He thought it was a good bill
aud 1t would De time enough to throw it
out after committee reported on it. The
committee, if they saw fit, could reduce
the amount proposed. If the paper
would help out the Punchbowl and Vol
cano roads it would do good.
Inc ayes and noes were called on the
notion to indefinitely postpone the bill.

Peterson; Mobiles Berger, Macfarlane.
