sound of the harsh word stealing" the |
Englishman halted, but finally he ex-
claimed: LET them steal Lord |
Almighty, let them steal all they want
to; there is plenty left" The idea is, IL
these great avenues OF wealth had not
been opened, there would have been
nothing &c. steal. So if, as alleged, Stan
ford and Croker stole ahundred millions
OF the wealth they were the means al
creating they left 900 millions OF dollars
Tor other people To enjoy which did not
exist before So think upon pure busi-
ness PRINCIPLES We should give Mr.. Dill
bingham chance Ii he steals few
thousands while he makes us millions,
let him steal. That will be good spec
ulation for us. This stealing business is
more of bugaboo than a real substance,
as it makes no difference to the Govern
ment how much the bond holders and
the owners quarrel, or how much they
steal from each other, provided the road
is built according to contract, and the
public have the advantage and use of the
roads. 1t don't concern the people who
enjoy rides in our street cars for five
and ten cents how much unpleasantness
exists among the owners of the road.

Noble J. NJ. Horner-What is that?
I'd like to have that interpreted.
The Interpreter stated in Ineligible
English what oble Muller had said.
The chairman warned the members
| that unless they remained in their seats
he would raise the committee.

| acted on was sec. l. There could be no
possible objection To passing that section.
| Sec was not before the House, and in
voting Oh section l section should not
| be considered. We. should at least give
them the chance of building the road by
| granting an exclusive franchise before
throwing it out. As this road will be
built under the general act its specitica-
tons of rates will control.
Rep. Nawahi-1 am not particularly
interested in this bill. am in the Ha-
waii BILL / have listened TO both sides,
| but cannot even now make up my mind.
| The speaker asked number OF ques-
| tons, which were answered by Rep.
Brown, upon which the speaker, contin-
uing, said it would be cheaper to pass
this bill than to have the road built I'M
der the old law, and the company claim
$500 per mile subsidy.
| Rep. Kapaehaole stated that the old
law OF which the member from Hilo had
been speaking had nothing to do with
the case, as the road could not be built
under that law.
Rep. Lucas was greatly surprised
that the member from Hilo should say
he had no interest in this bill. Every
man should. be interested in what would
advance the prosperity OF the country
The railroad would do that. Some people
were afraid the promoters would make
money. He hoped they would but the
country would make more. There was
no country in the world where railroads
had not been beneficial. Every member
of this House should encourage this
matter home enterprise, and not throw
cold water on.it. There was plenty OF
money here which went abroad because
it could not find any investment here
The whole bin ought 70 be passed.
Rep. Rosa said,that when the party
was canvassing for votes, one of its
strongest planks was encouragement Of
railroads. He was greatly surprised
therefore at the position taken by some
4 o the strongest men of the party. Mr.
Dillingham; had built the road to Ews
without Government aid. No one doubt
ed that land there had advanced three
times. A friend of his had sold piece
for $22, 900 which only cost $1,000 few
years ago. The piece next to it sold fol
$23 900. By and by it would be worth
$1,000 1t was not consistent for mem
beers of the National Reform Party to try
to kill this bill. The party was pledged
to support any measure which would
promote the construction of railroads OF
this island. In attempting to kill TIT
bill the party would be violating thi
pledge.
+" Noble Kauhane said the first section
of the bill was not objectionable.
Noble Marsden moved the committee
rise. Lost.

Minister Brown moved that the com
mittee rise and refer the matter to TIT
House.. Carried.
The committee rose and reported ant
its report was adopted, and the House
adjourned at 40 p. No.
