Rep. Bush was in favor Of Rep. Knud-

the Finance Committee. The implica-

nance Committee was an atfront 10 the
House, and the late Minister was old
enough TO have known what language
WAS proper in addressing the Assembly.
Noble Baldwin called attention to the
fact that the Finance Committee was
composed Of political opponents Of the
late ministry. Noble Burchardt was
elected Independently, and has pursued
s conservative course, but it Is no secret
that he was politically opposed 90 the
late ministry. / think too much has

the Reform Party should have been on
the committee, and if that had been the
case do not think this discussion would
have taken plaee to-day. do not intend

on the committee, think they would
appear in better light before the coun

hearing.

it. l had nos been working long on the
Finance Committee before l did see
abundant cause.
Noble Widemann moved that the pres
ident get down from his place, and the
late Minister Of the Interior take the
place and lay down the law to this
House.
Rep. Kalua said he had favored laying
on table with the report OF the Finance
Committee. do not think the compO-
sitiOn OF the Finance Committee has

The petition was not laid on the table,
the vote being I tie, and the president
voting in the negative.
Rep. kapaehaole made another mo-
ton, which was ruled out OF order.
The petition was laid on the table to
be considered with the report OF the FL
nance committee
The President stated in reply to the
remarks Of Noble Baldwin, which charges
him with partiality in appointing the
Finance Committee, that it was not easy
10 appoint committees. had perfect
right 10 put majority Of the National
Party on the committee. l knew nothing
OF Noble Burehardt or the member from
Lah2ina Rep. White, but l took the
ADVERTISERS statement that they be-
longed to the Reform Party. l am very
sorry they have gone back on me.
The House took s recess at u 30 until
