BAY rolls for the biennial period, was
agreed to yesterday In Conference
Committee, ordered typewriter, and
q committee Of three named to look
after It's enrolment. In addition the
consideration of bill No. 3, providing
for current expenses of the Govern
ment, was taken up and some progress
made with It.
The completion OF the consideration Of
the salaries bill was not accomplished
without the display of the hand of the
Home Rulers, for more than once there
was a remark thrown into their midst
from the Republican side, referring to
the evident plan Of raising all appro-
an extra session to provide for reve-
nues would be inevitable, and all that
was drawn by these jeers was COM
placent smile Even John Emmeluth
referred to the openness of the work OF
his fellow party men, but there was
never a word of back talk. The scheme
was understood. and once when on a
reconsideration of some small item the
amount was raised rather sharply. both
Emmeluth and Monsarrat remarked
that 1t seemed to be time to quit and
make the bill UP on the basis of the
highest figures.
There were more than a tew clever
little passages during the day, but no
strenuous fights except upon the unpaid
plague bills. AS usual, every time there
was reconsideration or contest OF
any kind, the outcome was the accept
ance of the higher rate of pay. one
Of the most exhilarating episodes was
the crossing of swords by Parls ana
White, when the question was the rals-
Ing OF the rate of pay of the deputy
sheriff of South Kohala. White salo
he favored the amendment for the rea-
son that Waimea was the Texas OF Ha-
wall, where cowboys carried lives IN
their back pockets. Paris replied at
once that It was no worse than Lanai
ma II the report OF the Grand Jury was
to be taken as guide TO opinion anc
the laugh went around at the expense
of the Maui man, There was another
laugh when the question of the plump
ers inspectors came up and both EN-
meIuth and White asked that the mat
ter go over until the afternoon session
The putting through Of the salaries
bill was due in some measure TO tne
r|act that in the body of that bill there
had been put in nothing about the mill
tary, those items being under the cur
rent expense portion of the appropria-
tons. Emmeluth insisted that there
could be done nothing OF this kind, as
there was no mention of the military
IN the bill, and that had there been
ANYTHING OF the kind 1t was probable
that no conference would have been
given by the House. few minutes
later when the Independents put into
the expense bill the provision for the
proposed Board OF Health boat for the
service to Molokai, they were met with
the Laughing retort from Monsarrat
that he would vote for the military, as
II seemed the intention to load up the
bill and there should be no discrimina-
tion shown. Senator White had tried
20 put in the army salary Items under
that head, so there should be some-
thing OF a battle today when the Con-
ference Committee tries TO complete Its
work
Compromise seemed to be the rule. for
there were several instances where the
pay OF heads OF departments was plac-
ed at a figure close TO the top but shad-
ing II a few hundreds This was true
In the case OF the Commissioner NJ Az
riculture, who viii receive $500, and
the Surveyor, whose stipend Will be So
600. When the Board ~ Health was mp
there was an attempt 20 make the ex-
"a u D
agent, but Emmeluth came 20 the res
cue and said the officer was too hard
worked and could not DO the business
So there was created "A new place, the
salary being put az 8 900 The physi-
clans were placed FOR most part at the
lower figures adopted hy the House,
though there were "a few exceptions.
