Senator Carter then presented the
following minority report of the Com
mittee on Military, which was tabled
to be considered with the majority re-
port on the same matter:
The minority member of the Military
committee, to which was referred GER
tain items under the Appropria ton bin,
begs TO report as follows:
To abolish the military entirely seems
hardly wise, for circumstances may arise
which would make them invaluable. But,
undoubtedly, considerable economy
could be effected.
l recommend, therefore, the striking
out of the first two items, Nos S5l and
| 1852, thereby making a saving of 81, 400
Item 1853, chief musician s720; is $50 a
| month paid for the instruction of the
drum corps. which is a good thing. and
recommend II pass as in the bill.
The next three items-item 354. armor-
er, S1,6SG; item 355, servant, 5000; item 355,
janitor, sl.0Se-ean be combined There
fore l recommend striking out those
three items, and inserting the following:
Item 354, armorer and janitors, 5000; thus
effecting a saving of at least $780, The
item of servant is very nearly that of
janitor. for at times it Is necessary to
employ assistance to take out and clean
up the various properties in the quarter
masters department.
Items 357 and 35S, clerks at 81, 500 each.
recommend that these be combined I'M
der one item of clerks, s., go: thereby eff
fecting saving of 5000.
Under current expenses, item $50, sta
tionery and printing, $1,000. recommend
cutting this in half and making il $500.
Item 5o.. furniture. ETC.. $50 I rec
ommend this be cut to $3.50.
Item $50, transportation $500. l recon-
mend this be cut down to $780,
Items $50 and 557, uniforms for the en-
listed men and officers, $3.50. / recon-
mend the striking out OF the officers uni
forms, allowing them to be paid for by
the officers themselves, thus effecting a
saving of 81, $50. I therefore recommend
the following item: Uniforms. enlisted
men. 5000.
Item 55s, incidentals, $500 / recon-
mend this item be reduced to s2,000.
Item $50, company and regimental al
lowances, u companies at $50 a month,
s14, 400; l regiment at 500 a month, 81. 400;
SIC, 500. 1 recommend that the regiment
allowance be reduced to SIS per month. a
saving of 5000, and that the allowance for
companies be left as in the bill.
There are at present nine companies.
and it is proposed to establish one on
Kauai, another on Hawaii and one at La
haina, Maui.
Item 562, ordnance supplies, $500 ]
recommend this be reduced to 5000.
With these very material reductions in
almost every item great saving can be
effected in conformity with the other de-
partments. The fact that there are few
United States troops -quartered here is no
excuse for abolishing our Territorial mi
| Iitfa In case of trouble, the Governor
may call upon the United States troops
here, but 1t is left for the commandment
| here to respond not, he pleases
and he might deem it necessary to wait
until he heard from Washington.
| The militia has a wholesome effect up
| on the young men of this Territory
teaches them discipline and makes large
| ly towards civil pride and patriotism, the
value of which cannot be measured In
dollars and cents.
| great deal is now being said about
the depleted condition of our Treasury
Members of the Senate must not forget
that that is only temporary difficulty
| that the actual revenue viii be in the
neighborhood of $1,000 600 and the ADpro-
priation bill (eyen allowing for the con
tinuance of the militia in fulD will no
iexceed the revenue to any great amount
