that smaller amount would be
proper TO grant, but as the bill stood
he could not support il. AS he
would not go TO the extreme of the
opponents of the San Diego line, he
would move that the subsidy he five
hundred dollars trip.
Noble Isenberg said the line would
come whether we subsidized it or
not.
Noble CornwGll begged the hon.
Mobiles pardon. The line would not
come for $500 a month.
Noble lsenberg said then il no.
thing less than $1,000 would do, il
should get nothing. lie was on the
committee that recommended $4S,-
600 to the Oceanic Steamship Co.,
ami he voted cheerfully for it. That
was all the subsidy we should pay.
Why should this House vote $1,000
a month TO a rich steamship com
pany to start n line that we did not
need! If the line came the laborers
would get its work whether a sub
sidy was granted or not. They had
plenty work now. There were not
enough laborcrs in the country now
for the employment offering. lie
had voted against the San Diego
line, because he did not believe in
Substituting steamers before there
was anything for them TO carry.
There had been n line of fast
schoOners between San Francisco
and Tahiti for years, and if the
trade was so profitable why were
these steamers not started from San
Francisco?
Noble Parker wished to correct a
statement he had heard from differ
ent speakers, about three head of
cattle being wanted week at Ia
hlti. He was in a position TO know
that 400 head Il year were required
there, rs that was the number he
had been asked to contract for. The
proposed line would he for the
benefit of the country. Members
were not usually against measures
for helping the sugar industry, be-
cause they recognized that it was
for the benefit of the country. The
company were topay $1,000 month
for the steamer, and if Hawaii added
$1,000 to the French subsidy it
would only be $1,000 month. II
this line went through it would at.
tract many passengers this way
from San Francisco. Many of the
members of this House would be
| glad to take a trip to Tahiti (pro-
vided they got n free passage).

Rep. Nawahi was in favor of any.
thing that would develop the coun.

been said the San Diego steame
had nothing to carry, whereas ther,
was cargo awaiting her now ON TIT

guided by personal interests in deal

Rep. Paehaole argued in behal
of giving an awaiting subsidy if an,
at all.
Rep. Baker said that the lIous

of last month it had prisoner he

giving him chance to say his las
