while the Hawaiian appropriation is
also considerably diminished.
Carter and Achi had "a wordy skirm-
ish with the rest OF the Senate against
printing the reports. Mr.. Carter NOV
ing to submit them to the committee
of the whole for immediate consIdera-
ton. Or. Russell in a long speech stated
his belief that loans should not be made
and advocated taxes on sugar and the
richer members of the community.
Loans" said the Senator from Oiaa,
