recOmme ndation would save the Gov
eminent over $1,000 for the period.
The Attorney-General replied that
the difference in the salaries OF
the police referred to by Reps. Ma
wahi and Koahou was in the work
done and length of service. and not
on account of any favoritism. Besides,
the said policemen have been in office
ever since the administration of his
predecessors.
Rep. Koahou asked the Attorney
General who had beel in the service
the lOBgest-Brown or Maby?
The Attorney-General: Brown.
Rep. Koahou: Then why was he
paid SO less than Maby?
The Attorney-G They per
form different duties.
Noble Thurston: The speech of the
last speaker has been the talk of this
House for the last six weeks. What
is the use of this House wasting its
time in discussing on unimportant
matters. 1t is not the duty of this
House to enter into such useless talk.
If they are not worthy of the salaries
paid, remove them at once. This
House is humiliating itself in consid-
ering matters this way, as if this was
country district court.
Rep. +. w. Wilcox stated that the
chief reason why the native members
persist in apportioning the pay of the
policemen is because of the discrimin-
alton against the pay Of the natives,
which has continued from past adj
ministrations.
Noble Kauhane said that with all
the attacks made on the administra-
ton of the Police Department, vet
that department continues progress
ing. 1t is not at standstill, as would
appear from the heaps of abuse placed
on it. He believed that the Police
Department has been properly con-
Quoted.
Rep. Iosepa also made a lengthy
speech denouncing the department.
Rep. White likewise Joined in the
same strain.
Rep. Bipikane continued his usual
attacks on the Police Department.
Rep. Kapahu asked general ques-
ton to the Mobiles if they were willing
to pay the wages of his hired servant.
1.-THE Mobiles simply smiled He
asserted that the Government is pay
ing for two policemen in Kau who are
performing police duty exclusively for
the benefit of the planters.
Rep. Kaunamano stated that he
agreed with his fellow native MEM
bers on this subject, which is of such
an importance that the House has
been considering it since Saturday.
Rep. Nawahi spoke again on the
subject at 3 SO PM. He considered
that the question was of such national
Importance that all native members
are unit and they propose to fight
for it even if they continue talking
about it till Friday. AT 3:46 p. NJ. he
moved the committee rise.
Minister Widemann said that a good
many harsh words had been used
against voting appropriations for the
police in lump sums. He did not
think that the Cabinet deserved the
unpleasant words used against them.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox renewed his at
tack on the Police Department., and
he moved that the committee rise and
report to the House that the Attorney
General was unable to give the re-
quired information, and further that
the House censure the Attorney Gen
eral though a select committee, for
treating the House with contempt by
constantly going in and out of the
House. The Cabinet are acting to-
wards US in an Indifferent manner be-
cause they know that my want-of-
confidence res luton was laid on the
table the other day, and therefore
they believe that it is the opinion of
the majority of this House to keep
them there till doomsday.
Rep. Smith said that the main rea
son for the objections against the pas
sage of these appropriations had been
the dissatisfaction of the lists pre-
pared by the Acknowledgement, and
also because of the secret detective
service. He moved that the commit
the four items, ''Pay of police for Ha-
wall, Maui, Oahu and Kauai" be de-
ferred until the Finance Committee
shall have reported, and meanwhile
the items under the Interior Depart-
naent be considered by the House.
Noble Neumann-This is a motion
for the committee to rise, and several
other amendments attached to il. For
myself shall vote against it. The re-
port of the Finance Committee has
nothing to do with these items. / do
not propose that the work of the
House be blocked at the will of five
members of it. He wished the House
to go on.
At 4:06 p. NJ, Rep. Nawahis mo-
ton that the committee rise and re-
port progress was put and lost.
Rep. White opposed the amend
ments of Rep. Smith to the original
motion. He did not believe in MA
hope for that title is reserved for the
Minister of the Interior.
Noble Neumann notified Rep. White
that there would be no meeting of the
Judiciary Committee rep. White
being a member) that afternoon.
They will remain to hear Rep.
Whites second wind.
Rep. White asked Rep. Smith to
withdraw his amendment.
Rep. Smith replied, "No!n
Rep. White then again continued.
Noble Neumann said that if Rep.
White continued in that strain, he
would be compelled to abandon Rep,
White and support Rep. Smiths
amendment. He continually re-
minded the chairman to direct the
speaker to keep to the question, for
he was getting tired of this CAB.
Rep. White asked the chairman to
leave the chair.
Noble Thurston said the vote Just
taken shows that n small minority
favor passing the items in detail
while a majority do not; the minor
ity, however, keep on talking. He
notified in behalf Of the majority,
that they propose to stop in the |
House if it takes 4 whole week. /
