wall, which had been neglected in the !
/ past.
| Minister Widemann was very glad
| to be able TO coincide with the views !
of the hon. Noble from Maui, and
would be glad in his capacity of Min |
lister to execute them.
! Rep. Ashford favored the reference !
TO committee, and would wish the /
committee to inquire whether the /
Oceanic 5. 5. Co. was in a pool with |
the Pacific Mail S. S. Co., and whether /
the country was really paying q SUBJ /
| sidy to keep the Pacific Mail S. s. Co. /
! away. He had no quarrel with the |
Oceanic s. S. Co., nor with the SUBJ |
sidy, but the House should know the |
facts. 1t was we'll known that the |
Pacific Mail s. S. Co. would not take |
freight, nor in general, passengers;
and it was we'll understood that this !
| was due TO an arrangement between
the two companies. He was going to
follow the example of the illustrious
Noble for Oahu Noble Neumannl and
ask the President to place him on the
committee.
Rep. White moved the committee
be OF seven members. He also was
troubled with not too much modesty,
and would like to be a member.
Rep. Smith wanted to know what
the use of committee was.
Rep. Bush said there is the pool to
find out about.
Rep. Smith-What pool? How can
the committee find out about any
pool?
Rep. Ashford said if he were on the
committee he would engage to find out
about it. The pool had been stagnant
Gro Ia cftf
it up.
Rep. Smith said the member must
be very fond of bad smell.
7 Noble Thurston said he saw no
r need of reference to a committee. The
2 question of the subsidy wes an old
one. 1t made no difference to the
t country whether the 0. S. S. Co. was
t paying another company to keep
away or not. The member for Homo
4 lulu could go on o. private smelling
e expedition if he wanted.
3 Noble Ena did not agree with the
;. member from Maui.
e Rep. Ashford said his interest in
the matter was not private one at
all. If we were going to furnish the
money to drive out competition we
g must be bigger fools than the speaker
supposed. The object of the subsidy
was to improve the service, but it
n worked in just the opposite way. He
did not absolutely know that the
= facts were as suggested, except as
everybody knew it. The matter
n should be thoroughly Investigated.
n The item was referred to select
committee of seven.
BUREAU OF CUSTOMS.
Salary of Collector-General, $1,000
It passed at $4,000.
Salary of Deputy Collector, $4,000.
IS Rep. Bush said the Collector Gen.
eral was so busy with his social
e at all. 1t might be well to strike out
8. the item for the Deputy Collector in
order to compel the Collector to dc
n some work. If Mr.. Cleghorn was 6
s. faVorite let him be supported some
g other way. If he needed money tt
V maintain his state as Governor LEI
lie him be paid for that. Noble Mars
i, den: "Aboiish the office of Governor
Y, that is the best way.") Well, I an
Or in favor of that. Economy is needed
T. What we want is roads and bridges
it My district is in sad condition.
r. Rep. Smith did not want the Office
or abolished, but he wished the Collec
lie tor would supervise his subordinate
lie a little more.
S, Minister Widemann said Mr.. CIeg
IN horn was q hard working man, anC
of so be believed, was Mr.. Boardman.
Rep. Ashford said the fact that tn,
ut Collector had been absent from hi
Sc office for months and the work wen
il. along smoothly showed that his ser
E. vices could be dispensed with alto
#. gether. The salary, however, hat
u now been passed; $500 was enough
i'd for the Deputy Collector, and h,
rs would move that amount.
!; After q scene of confusion and sew
eral counts the item was declared
d passed at $4,000.
rs Rep. Kanealii said he thought tb,
he Chairman was getting little con
he fused.
