Salary of Deputy Attorney General

Rep. Kamauoha moved striking
out the item, because there is already
q Deputy Attorney-General.
The Acknowledgement replied that
heretofore there has been two acting
deputy marshals. The officer could
be sent to attend Circuit Courts. He
moved the title should be "Prosecut-
ing Attorney" He deemed it very
necessary office, and the government
has derived benefits from the work of
such a good lawyer.
Rep. Kaunamano objected to Great
ing offices for the accommodation of
friends. This work has been the sole
reason of the country's poverty, and
bringing disrepute on the present
administration. The Attorney Gen
eral himself or his deputy must at
tend TO the prosecutions, and not to
send deputy marshals to do the work.
AT 2:55 P. NJ. Rep. Kauhi resigned
the chair to Rep. Waipuilani in order
to join in the discussions.
| Rep. ashford opposed the amend
ment of the Acknowledgement. If we
had a Marshal and a deputy who
understood their business, this item
would not be necessary. 1t has
become altogether too much the fash
| ion for the Attorney-General to rely
on these officials to carry on his work
OF prosecuting at the outside districts.
! During the speakers incumbency, he
had bought lounge for that depart
ment, aud he did not blame the At
| torney-General for utilizing it.
! Rep. Bush said that the opposition
| to the item had arisen from the in
competency of the incumbents. II
Mr.. Mehrten was not competent, dis
| charge him, and let Mr.. Wilder take
his place. He favored striking out
the item.
| The Acknowledgement replied that
| the only difference was this: during
the incumbency of the member from
| the Third District he had Peterson and
| Creighton. Now Creighton and
| Wilder are doing the same work.
| Perhaps he (Ashfordl has forgotten
it, and he had no doubt he (Ashford)
found great use in those men.
Rep. Smith said that the great fault
/ in the departments was the lack of
supervision, excepting perhaps the
| Board Of Education. The reason for
creating these offices was to allow the
| Attorney General to give more time
| TO making a circuit of the different
| Islands to acquaint himself with the
| needs there, and not for all to remain
| in Honolulu. He believed that the
| Attorney-GeneraPs department could
be conducted at all times by the At
| torney General and his deputy, ex-
| cepting at few exceptional times.
Ii the right man was put in those
| places, there was no necessity for hav-
| ing three men to do the work.
Minister Parker having listened to
| the excellent remarks of Reps. Smith,
Ashford and Bush, he now favored
striking out the item. He had con-
suited the Attorney-G General about it
in their Cabinet councils, but he was
| now convinced of the utter useless
| ness of the Office.
The item was stricken out, twenty
seven voting against it.
Clerk of Receiving Station, $500.
I Rep. Ashford thought the clerk was
unnecessary. The captain of police
did the work successfully during my
incumbency. The captain on the
watch and half-dozen others are
always around there.
Rep. Smith thought that proper
record OF arrests should be made for
