THE LEGISLATURE.
SEVENTY SIXTH DAY.
THURSDAY, Sept. IL.
AFTERNOON SESSION,

Rep. Brown was not in favor of
the bill. The proprietor appeared
before the committee, and said $500
per month would pay for 10000
copies, otherwise the paper was sup
porting itself. IL the Government
paid this money, the receipts of the
paper would he turned into profits.
The Government ought not to subsi-
die any paper, no matter what its
object may be. He therefore could
not vote for the bill.
Noble J. NJ. Horner endeavored
to square his actions according to
the needs Of the country, but he
could not see the use of this bill.
The country was not opened up yet,
so that anything could be done with
the bill after they did get here.
There were thousands Of acres of
good land, but they could not
DO reached. After q few years
spent In developing the country, it
would be time enough to advertise.
IL the travellers came here, " hat could
we show them? Punchbowl. That is
of one the wonders done by the late
Minister. Let us open up roads,
and then send for settlers. He
should give his influence against this
bill, but could not vote as he had
paired off with his neighbor.
Rep. Lucas was surprised TO hear
H.. 10 60 81
to get money for certain roads. How
could they get money to build roads if
people were not encouraged to come
here. Since the road up Punchbowl
was built there was not visitor to
the islands who had not gone to the
top. Mention had been made about
the salaries to editors and sub-edit-
ors, but those now conducting the
paper would sell out 10 the Govern
ment for one dollar. There was q
little book published-he forgot the
name-(Voices - "Third Warning
Voice"). 1t was the Tourists
Guide, printed by the Hawaiian Ca
zette Co., and it would bring peo-
pie here by shiplosds (laughter).
He had helped the Paradise Of the
Pacific some, and was repaid indi-
rectly, as everyone else, by the in
creased circulation Of money by
tourists. If the amount was too
large, reduce it, let it be only IS,
if it would show that the Legislature
WAS willing TO help.
Rep. Cummings supported the
bill, but moved to insert $500 in
stead of $500 a month.
Rep. Kauhi was speaking in ma
tive, when he broke out in English,
| pointing toward previous speaker
"The--steamer--r ran - TO - the -
Volcano!" cloud laughter.) He
said he doubted whether the paper
was required TO tell people where
the Sandwich Islands were.
Noble Widemann said the worlC
was large, and these islands were
comparatively unknown in acme
countries. He was here twice many
years ago, the second time in 1916,
and when he returned home he founC
q man in the very heart Of Germany
who could tell him all about thu
Sandwich Islands. The great OBJ
stacle people found to coming here
was the sea voyage. California hat
communication with whole CONT
nent by railways. He did not be
lieve that paper would induce tel
persons year to come to this coun
try, and he was not prepared to sup
port the alternative of the Govern
ment's undertaking all the expense
of its publication.
Noble Cornwell could not con
scientiously support the bill in it
present shape, yet he could nc
agree with the hon. Noble fror
Honolulu. That man in the hear
Of Germany who knew all abou
these islands was only one in
thousand. There was great benef
to be expected from properly advel
Using the islands, and lie would SUP
port an item for that purpose, to b
expended at the discretion of til
Minister of the Interior. He We
going to move the previous questio
but he saw that other member
wanted to speak.
Rep. White spoke without inter
probation, but read in English, frol
foreign paper just arrived, tn
news that the U. S. S. Charlesto
was returning TO Honolulu on az
count Of ;rumors of an impendin
revolution,

Second reading Of bill to prohib

Rep. Brown moved that the fir
section pass.
Noble Widemann moved to amen
by substituting "along" for "upon
before highways" and strikin
out the words "of like nature.
Noble Marsden thought that I'll
bill would entail hardship in its pr,
sent form. II should designaI
what highways were not 10 hay

There were miles and miles OF higl
way lined by barbed fences, and
