that $4,000 be appropriated for the
road from King street, up Kalihi val
ley:
Your committee has gone over the
ground and finds the road in bad con-
dition. We also find that the Legisla-
.ture of 1898 appropriated $4,000 for
this road but that nothing has been
done to repair 1t until within the last
few weeks. Although there is quite a
large population in this valley, the road
is almost impossible in wet weather
Your committee recommends the
amount in the old appropriation bill of
1922, 900 be appropriated for said road.
JOHN r. BROWN,
j. d. PARIS,
l.. NAKAPAAHT.
ON motion of Mr.. White the motion
was laid on the table to be considered
with the appropriation bill.
Mr. Kaiue, who is getting active,
wants money for Waikiki. Where the
money is to come from doesn't bother
the honorable Senator, but he coolly
presented the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the sum or s19,50O be
inserted in the loan bill or appropria =
district of Wailuku, Island of Maui, as
more fully appears in items hereto at
tached and made part of this resolu-
ton"
on motion of Mr. White the resolu-
ton was laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the appropriation bill.
While n member of the House of Rep
resentatives wants to do away with
personal taxes, Senator Achi wants to
favor only those who are responsible
for at least five children, which made
the Senators look uncomfortable, by
giving notice of his intention to intro
duce "An act to exempt the personal
taxes of parents who have at least five
children"
Senator White evidently believes in
topsy- and gave notice of his
intention to provide for the revision of
the statutes of the Territory of Ha~
wall.
Peace reigned while the third reading
of House bill 16. relating to the Grim
inal jurisdiction of district magistrates,
on the order of the day, was had. on
the ayes and noes being taken, the bill
passed third reading by vote of IA
to l.
Then trouble started. IT was on ac-
count of the third reading of Senate
bill 80, IAN act to prohibit the employ
ment of any person not a duly qualified
voter of the Territory OF Hawaii as a
laborer upon any public work of any
kind, manner or description, in the
Territory of Hawaii, by any public Of
ficer, servant or agent of the Territory
of Hawaii, or by any contractor under
and with the Territory Of Hawaii, and
to provide penalty for the violation
of such act"
Senators Baldwin, Carter, Cecil
Brown, j. Brown and Paris objected to
the bin in the form it was reported
from the judiciary committee and Sem
ator AChi. in an eloquent speech, point
ed out the fact that the bill would re-
suit simply in Hawaiian boys from the
ages of II to 81 years getting no work
under the Government, even If they so
desired. Achi was heartily applauded,
but Senator Kalauokalan couldn't
grasp the point and wanted the bill
passed as II stood. He said the meas
ure was introduced because, in Homo
lulu. on roads and public works, no
Americans are ever employed, and in
the country districts under the present
officials the Asatics are always pre-
ferred and the youths of Hawaii are
compelled to drift to this "hell hole" Of
Honolulu, where they go to ruin
through gambling and drinking. The
Senator (who evidently hadn't been
successful in the last drawinG) became
very eloquent and charged the public
works with discriminating against Ha-
waiians, PAY fair wages" cried The
great imitator of Kamehameha' stat
ne "and the country districts will have
all the labor they need. The Hawaians
win then stay at home and work I'm
their own districts, and the Aslatlcs
viii cease to be monopolizers OF work
and contractors for the Territory. Force
the Asiatics back To the plantations
which brought them here. Pass this
act and the labor question win be solv-
ed, because no man not an American
citizen can any longer work for the
Territory and be paid 10y the taxpayers
money"
The bin was then referred a. COM
