The motion was declared carried.
Noble Muller moved the vote be
reconsidcred. Lost.
Rep. Kalua moved that the third
section Granting subsidy of $500
a mile for five years) be indefinitely
postponed.
Rep. II. w. Wilcox Con the pre-
vious question having been moved)
demanded the right, as a represent
alive of the people, of discussing
the section before the vote. He
moved that the section pass as in
the bill. BY the building of rail-
ways the value of property was in
creased so that for whatever help
the Government gave they would be
reimbursed by largely increased re-
venue from internal taxes. The
country would be surprised at the
large returns for the small outlay.
Rep. White referred to the pre-
vious speakers remarks as tmn-
derstorm without rain. The railway
company had gone down and bought
up all the land along the line, so
that the common people would re-
ceive no benefit from the railway.
They asked the House to subsidzo
q railway through their own land,
The Central Pacific Railways build
ing by Crocker, Stanford, and Hop
kins was the biggest fraud ever put
afloat.
Rep. Lucas-The ten minutes
time is up.
Noble Marsdcn-!e has spoken
ten minutes.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox Mr.. Presi-
Rep. White said he was not re-
ferring to those members who were
| jumping up when he was speaking
of members being approached for
their votes.
Noble Isenberg approved of the
amendment of Rep. r. w. Wilcox,
but would move that the subsidy be
$4,000 mile completed,
Rep. Brown preferred the section
as in the bill. Referring to the re-
marks of the hon. member from La
hana, he said that the company did
not own an acre of land on the koo-
lau side. He believed that majo-
rity of the House was in favor OF
encouraging this railway, and they
ought TO do so, in order to give tho
working men q chance. If the rail.
way went on, the natives on tho
Koolau side would get work at {
dollar day in building it, ant
cheap carriage of their bananas ant
other products TO market after i
was built. The great bugboar o
this bill had been the guarantee o
interest, and now that having beer
struck out all should join in passin:
the rest of the bill.
Noble Widemann could not agre
with the opinion just heard. The sec
ond section was the life blood of th
bill, and that being out, the bill wa
as dead as a door nail. The provis
!, ion for giving the promoters chco
interest being eliminated they coul'
not go on with the work. | wa
for that reason that he moved th
indefinite postponement of this sec
ton, as it was no use wasting an
more time over & dead bill. Tha
was unless they were prepared
which he was not, TO vote for $500
or $4,000 mile.
. Rep. Bush was in favor OF til
= section as in the bill. Compariso
with the Kohala railway was not ia
). to the Oahu railway. That railwa
did not lead to a market, which tn
one did. The projected line woui
open up homesteads and incroa:
the value of property tenfold. Tn
House had voted a subsidy of $24
600 year to steamships flying IL
u American flag, and what return
the shape of taxes did they get fro
u those steamships? 1t seemed to hi
T" the House was always more rea(
to vote money to the wealthy, tina
. for the benefit of our own poor pc
- o pie.
Rep. Paehaole ended speed
. with motion to adjourn, wthou
" waiting for Interpretation.
