poke, sl2OO, was passed at that
figure.
Salary Deputy Sheriff, Koolauloa,
proposed at $40 by recommends
ton of the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Rep. Robert Wilcox considered
that the position was worth $50
month at least. 1t was large dis
trict, and its Importance had lately
been increased by the establishment
of the Kahuku plantation, He NOV
ed the item pass at $l2004t
Noble Ena thought thatat was but
just to accede to the request for an
increase in the amount recommended
by the committee; the position was
an important one and a salary of $50
a month was ridiculous. He favored
an increase.
Noble Pua said that the incumbent
was a relative of his, but he would
not vote for an Increase nor favor it
in speech, as he thought that $50 per
month was salary enough.
Pon Kanpnnann onil thot 20
marks of Noble Pua were from his
lips, not heart. The Noble was try
ing to obtain a great and good name
as one who would not even assist
relative in a Government position.
He personally favored the increase
and was satisfied that Noble Pua
would also vote for it.
Noble Baldwin said that the COM
mittee might have erred in this item
as we'll as in others yet to come, but
they were willing to he corrected;
they had not received the assistance
that they had desired when making
up the lists.
Rep. Kamauoha said that 1t looked
as though this deputy sheriff was
receiving a ridiculously low salary at
$50 per month when a common,
ordinary, everyday, police officer of
Honolulu got $40 per month. He
favored $50 per month.
Minister Whiting said that the
work in the district had greatly in
creased during the last 6 or s months
and he was of opinion that it would
increase more. The development of
the kahuku Plantation has induced
the influx of criminal class among
the laborers. Gambling, opium and
illicit liquor selling are fast becom-
ing established. He favored an in
crease.
Noble Young said that he had in
tended not to speak on the matter,
but as he was interested in the Ka-
huku Plantation, he would say that
he thought that the work of the
officer had been increased. He
thought that the salaries for the
deputies should each be established
at $50 per month. Since the planta-
ton was established liquor selling
had increased, and other breaches of
the law were being committed.
Favored $1,000.
On motion the item passed at $1,000.
The next three items were passed
without any extended discussion and
as presented here:
Salary Deputy Sheriff Waialua,
$1,000.
Salary Deputy Sheriff Waianae,
$40.
Salary Deputy Sheriff Eva, $1,000.
A new item Salary Deputy At
torney General prosecuting Ofiicer),
1920 was proposed.
Rep. Kamauoha did not see the
necessity of having another deputy
for the Acknowledgement, he moved
that the item be struck out.
Minister Whiting said that the of
flee was one that would be of benefit
for the transaction of business IN his
department. There were now two
deputy marshals, one of them had
been prosecuting officer. This officer
would take the place of one of those
and being acquainted with the laws
could be very useful in trials in Cir
cults on the various islands.
Rep. Kaunamano considered that
this was an act of intended friendship
to create the Office for one who was
already made to fit in it. He was
not in favor of the item.
Rep. Kauhi, Rep. Ashford, Rep.
Bush, Rep. Smith and Minister Par
ker all spoke against the item, and,
on motion, it was rejected.
Clerk Receiving Station, Honolulu,
| $500.
Rep. Ashford was opposed to it.
When he came into office On 1887
there was a clerk employed there but
he had had him removed and the
work done by the captain of police
on watch. That had worked very
well. His eminence, the Marshal,
had, however, seen fit to change
things. The captain on watch was
usually about and maybe half a
dozen others. The chief utility if q
clerk was appointed for that place
would be to stop the stealing going
| on.
Rep. Bush argued that the estl-
