Noble Thurston being present the
deferred item of Band to Chicago
and distribution of literature at the
Worlds Fair $1,000, came up for
consideration.
Noble Thurston made strong
opening speech in favor of the item,
deprecating the lack of national
pride and sentiment in those who
opposed the item. The Central
Union Church, magnificent build
ing, had been erected, but simple
iron-roofed building would have
answered the purpose just as we'll
were ii not for the laudable pride
that actuated the congregation.
That building was not yet paid for
but it was a good investment.
Rep. Iosepa favored the item and
would vote in favor of it,
The Minister of Finance said that
he could not but endorse a great
deal that Noble Thurston had said,
but he did not think it proper to
spend the peoples money for simple
lccleo play.
Noble Thurston Gnterrupting)-It
is not for lealeo, but straight business!
Noble Ena said that he was in
favor of passing the item.
Rep. Kanealii favored the item
with the exception that he desired
the amounts received to be used to-
ward the expenses of the band.
Noble Baldwin said that he had
favored the item, but as they had
had more and more light on the sub
ject of the finances he felt now that
he could not vote for it.
Noble Marsden said that from a
conference with the Cabinet he had
learned that this was one of the
items which they had struck out.
He was fond Of music, had studied
it III his early life, but was unable to
continue. He did not believe in
borrowed plumes. He was doubtful
that the Band would pay its OK
| penses, he considered that the Gov
eminent would really have to pay
$4,000.
Noble Williams said that he had
voted for the amount when it first

that if he voted for the amount it
would be only when it was placed
in the second section of the bill
Rep. Smith said that he believed
that it would be profitable invest
ment. WHY did small countries
send their goods there to exhibits
1t was to keep themselves in the
general swim with other nations.
Noble Hind desired to know il
there We're any other projects of this
kind. III this was the last then he
would vote for it. He thought that
some OF the leading men in the
House considered the subject very
lightly. The desire is to keep this
country independent. But there
was nothing that would end its in
dependence quicker than piling w
debt. If we had money he would
vote this amount with pleasure, but
