MAGAZINE SUBSIDY FAILS.


Wright proposed a new item of 1880
for subsidy for the Paradise of the
Pacific. The item as thus submitted
/ was fought rather literally attention
being called to the fact that there was
no limitation as to what was to be
given for the money. The argument
became discursive and was made HUI
morous when Kalama proposed a sub
sidy of $4,000 for the Maui News, $4,000
for the Hilo Herald and $500 for the
War Cry. Then it was found that the
Wright proposal had no second and 1t
fell.
Pail then moved to amend by insert
ing $500 for the completion of the
Lahaina wharf. He said an appropri-
alton of $4,000 had been made and 1t
was found that $4,000 was necessary
to extend the wharf to deep water so
that the island steamers could dock.
The amendment was inserted.
Oil proposed $4,000 for the repairing,
embarrassing or painting the buildings
at the Waikamilo camp. There was a
long debate over the matter ending
with it's insertion in the bill.
TO CLASSIFY LANDS.
Harris proposed $4,000 for an item of
survey Of public land for purposes of
classification. The debate which fol-
lowed was Of wide range, covering all
features of survey work and some dis
cussion over the lands but the item
went through as proposed.
Kali asked $4,000 for landing and
buoy at Hanalei which was adopted as
the last one for the regular list of
items.
There was a recess for recapitulation
which showed s1,455,335 as the total of
the appropriation under the bill, show
ing additions CT s32,25O In the measure.
The bill was then passed second read
ing after which the House took its
noon recess.
VETO OF KONA ITEM.
AS soon as the House reconvened the
following veto from the Governor was
received and read:
am unable to approve of the fol-
lowing item of Act - of the extra |
session of the Legislature in 1903, be- |
ing entitled IAN Act making special
appropriations for the departmental
use of the Territory during six months
from July LIST. A. ID. 1903 which will |
end with the 3lst day of December, A. /
ID. 1908"
"Kona Orphanage, provided however,
that a quarterly statement of the ex-
penses of the orphanage, and the num-
Der of pupils therein be forwarded to
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, $1,000"
My objections to this item are as
1t Is generally understood that the
Kona Orphanage is a school. The pro-
vision of the bill In relation to this
item. in requiring a quarterly state
ment of the number of pupils in the
Kona Orphanage to be forwarded to
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, recognizes the orphanage as
school. 1t is not a government school
nor is It under the exclusive or any /
control of the government; it Is clear /
therefore that. as a private school, 1t
is excluded from government assist
ance by the limitations of legislative
power set forth in the Organic Act,
Section 55, as follows: Nor shall any
public money be appropriated for the
support or benefit of any sectarian, de-
or private school. or any
school not under the exclusive control
OF the government
I therefore return herewith the acts
above referred to for your consideration
Of this item.
SANFORD B. DOLE,
Governor.
