ton of Senator Brown We're unan-
imously confirmed: j. NJ Whitney, Nj.
E. Grossnlan and G. n. Hubby.
EIGHTEEN MONTHS SALARIES.
The eighteen months salary bill was
taken up on second reading.
Upon motion of Senator Baldwin the
bill was made to read from January
4th, 1904. instead of Jan. 1st, to pre-
vent double payment of salaries for the
first three days under the County bill.
BAD DAY FOR PENSIONERS.
Senator Dickey wanted to know why
Mrs. Emma Barnard was given 5000 in
stead of $500 as two years ago.
It's in the Governors message said
Crabbe.
Probably a mistake put in Brown
i presume the Governor put it in at
that figure to give Senator Dickey a
chance TO cut it down." said Baldwin
The item for eighteen months was
changed to $500, and the item of $72O for
Mrs. Mary r. Stolz was also questioned
and reduced to $500.
On motion of Dickey the item of 5000
for Sergeant II. E. Peterson was strick-
en- out. Senator Dickey stating that the
settlement was for the loss of eyesight,
which accident occurred during a sham
battle. Peterson had now recovered his
sight and was in business for himself.
Senator Brown suggested that the
Senate had passed a bill providing ex-
ira compensation for circuit judges at
the rate of $500 each which had been
violently killed in the House and asked
If the Senators had any wish now to
insert these items in the appropriation
bill.
Il am just throwing this out as
hint" said Brown.
No one took the hint.
COURTS OUT OF POLITICS.
Senator Brown suggested also that
salaries be appropriated for clerks in
the Judiciary Department in order to
keep the courts entirely out of politics.
Senator Dickey moved to insert items
for clerks, stenographers and interpre-
ters in the bill, to be a charge upon
the revenues of the counties Action
upon the judiciary items was finally
postponed.
increased from $27OO to $4,000.
SALARY FIGHT AGAIN.
Senator Dickey moved to reduce the
salary of treasurer from $3.50 to $4,000.
THE idea is utterly ridiculous" said
he. I'VE are paying heads of depart
ments twice what is being paid in
States getting in ten times the amount
of taxes
showing but two paying more than
IS 900 year for treasurers.
Senator Brown replied that these Off
GERS had perquisites. and besides living
only cost half as much in the States.
He didn't believe in making officers live
from hand to mouth; they should be
permitted TO maintain the dignity OF
the office. II believe in paying a man
what he is worth" said Brown. That's
what we do in this world unless it is
some people who were born with sill
yer spoon in their mouths and a gold
brick under their arms
IT was a Dickey at one time said
Baldwin. 81 belonged TO a committee
that reduced all the salaries in the gov
on first reading, they were all
Dickeys in the House then. 1t was all
a farce though and before the third
uai who couldn't live on the salary,
then another had friend in Honolulu
and a third had friend on Hawaii and
before it was over we had the salaries
all back again.
Dickey thought the treasurer could
live on $500 a month; many others lived
on less than 5000. They can live in
on $780, he said Il don't
believe there is over 800 difference in
honor. We are not a monarchy now,
we had to spend money before for fuss
and feathers but we are only the small
est Territory in the Union now"
Dickey suggested that it be made
$500 and Achi said it should be $4,000.
Baldwin couldn't decrease salaries,
said Achi "and the government was
Overthrown. We don't want to be over
bill which carried.
On motion of Senator Baldwin the
salary of registrar was reduced from
$500 to $4050. The deputy registrar
vas fixed at $3.50 Achi pleading for the
increase because of new duties.

IRABBE THREATENS TO RESIGN.
The item for gunpowder keeper, Hilo,
