Rep. Kalua moved reference to a
select committee.
Rep. Kapaehaole saw no use in refer
ence to committee. The item is simply
for the subsidy which we are bound by
law to pay.
Noble j. M. Horner thought the COM
mittee could give us some information.
Noble Bush thought it rather hasty to
pass on an item of this magnitude
There are conditions in the subsidy law
and | understand they are not we'll full
filed
The item was referred to a select com
mittee.
Rep. kalua moved to insert subsidy
to steam line to Tahiti $24,0 900. The
Committee to which we have just re
ferred the preceding item, can consider
this too. / am credibly informed tina
the Canadian Pacific will run line o
steamers from Vancouver to San Fran
cisco, thence to Queensland, touching a
these Islands. Perhaps we shall get {
better service. Not that l am not per
fectly satisfied with the present service
but when we have something to sell, W.
want to get as good price for it as pos
sible.
Noble Widemann thought the subsi
dies to the different lines ought to b.
kept apart, and not mixed up. 1t wa
not possible at present to consider tn
Vancouver line, because it was not here
Noble Baldwin thought the question
of the Tahiti line should be kept entirel
separate from that of the subsidy to tn
present line. They were distinct mat
tiers. 1t was necessary to substitute steam
lines 1t would build up our commercia
prosperity.
Noble Phillips asked the member fror
Waikiki to withdraw the item, as Their
was a bill on the subject to come VI
which would have to be referred to CON
mittee anyway, and the whole subjeC
! could be considered by that committee
Rep. Kalua declined to withdraw hi
motion. Noble Phillips bill called fo
$4,000.
Noble Phillips moved to amend
!, making it read $4,000.
: The House declined to make the itei
$4,000 but referred it as it stood to
special committee.
Rep Nawahi moved to insert $48, 0C
| e. Ill,
Hilo and San Diego, and moved it b
referred to special committee.
Noble Muller stated that the matte
was already in the hands of the Con
= mittee on Commerce.
Rep. Marques moved reference to tn
same committee as the Oceanic line.
> Noble Baldwin-Does the line exi'
only in the brains of Rep. Nawahi an
: others. San Diego was little town, an
:, Honolulu another
' Rep. Nawahi discoursed on the advar
tages of the line. San Diego might be
little town, but it had the biggest hot'
in the world. Travellers could come d
: rect to see the volcano without going
. San Francisco.
Noble Widemann-I think the int,
!, rests of that line will be best served b
= giving it committee by itself.
!, The item was referred to special con
:, mittee.

rise and report progress. Carried
