Rep. Rosa moved to increase the
item 10 $1,000. This official had to
give bond of $4,000, and his du-
ties were more onerous Than those
of other officials for whom increase
of pay was proposed. Mr.. Smith
worked from eight in the morning
till six in tho evening. The present

tional Reform Party to show its re-
cognition of ability in young Hawai-
ians.
Noble ]. NJ. Horner asked Rep.
Rosa if rs competent man could
not he got for $4,000.
Rep. Rosa said no; Mr.. Smith
was proficient in both English and
eHawaiian; his predecessor was de-
ficient in Hawaiian and could not
have got along without Mr.. Smith $
assistance in some branches Of the
work. 1t was position to which
the present incumbent had worked
his way up from the bottom; hence
it would be all but impossible TO get
his equal for the services.
Rep. Nawahi opposed the in
crease.
Munster Brown SAID these esti-
mates came from the Judiciary De-
partment, and they were probably
the best judges of the compensation
due their employees. He agreed
with oil that Rep. Rosa had SAID
about the clerk, but probably the
latter had been consulted as to THE
amount fer which he would serve.
AS Rep. Nawahi had said, this man
might not be in the Office TO. morrow
