The House then proceeded to the
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Consideration of the Appropriation
bill in the Committee of the Whole,
Rep. Kauhi in the chair.
Salary of District Judge for North
Hilo, $1,000. Passed at $500.
Salary of District Judge for Puma,
$3.50. Passed at $500.
Salary of District Judge for North
Kau, $1,000.
The report of the Ways and Means
Committee on this point was read.
Noble Marsden said one judge was
sufficient.
Noble Kauhane said the district
was so large that it was very incon-
venient to have one magistrate only.
He favored reducing the salary of
both rather than abolishing one.
Rep. Wilcox favored saving the
$500 necessary by cutting $500 off the
salary of the judge with $1,000, and
500 off the one with 5000. He would
so move.
Noble Pua did not favor the report
of the committee.
Noble Marsden said the two judges
both lived in the village of Waiohinu.
Noble Macfarlane could not under
stand the position of the Ministry in
permitting the Appropriation bill to
come into the House without having
scrutiniZed it at all.
Noble Horner thought the Cabinet
should be commended instead of
blamed for having changed their views
| from what they were two months ago.
| They saw the situation of the country
now; they didn't then.
Noble Ena favored West Kau at
$1,000; East Kau at $500, provided the
magistrate resided in his part of the
district.
Minister Widemann asked if Noble
Macfarlane's criticism applied to this
item alone.
Noble Macfarlane said no; it was
directed to the whole bill, which he
regarded as extravagant throughout.
The Ministry must have understood
the situation before the last two or
three days. The rest of the country
had done so for six months.
Minister Widemann said The whole
| bill was not before the House. This
part of it was derived from the Chief
Justice.
Rep. Kanealii held that one magis-
trate was enough.

Rep. Ashford asked if there was
any one in the House who had ever
heard of a case being tried on Lanai.
Rep. Smith said he was deputy
sheriff there twenty years ago and
there was case of stealing turkeys.
Noble Thurston said the item was a
