IN THE HOUSE.

AS soon as the House got down to
business 1t was to hear the report of the
conference committee on the $1,000 eX-
pense bill, which had been amended as
to title in the Senate. The report is IS
follows:
Your Conference Committee to
whom was referred House Bill A, en-
titled an Act to appropriate money for
the purposes of defraying the expenses
of translation and printing the journal
of the House of Representatives of the
regular session of the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii of the year
1908 from the public treasury, begs
leave to report as follows:
"Amend the title of the bill by in
serting the word preparation between
the word of and translation
1.-The same amendment to be made
in the third line of the first section of
said bill by inserting the word 'prepar-
ing between the words of and trans
lating.'
with these amendments we recon-
mend the bill pass"
Without a dissenting vote and with
twenty-four ayes the report was adopt
ed.
Kali, when the House had passed
into committee of the whole on Senate
Bill No. 9 the salaries measure, want
ed to reconsider the salary of the dis
trict judge at Koloa but he was ruled
out of order.
QUIT THE ECONOMY PLAN.
The House had recovered from it's fit
of economy and refused to cut the
deputy sheriff of Maui from $3.50 to 5000.
The Hama deputy sheriff was given
$3.50 instead of s42O, and new deputy
was proposed for Honuaula at 500,
this bringing up a long discussion,
which ended when the consideration
was deferred until the paragraph Pay
of police" should be reached. Kaniho
made an attack on the Molokai deputy
which failed and then the Maui police
item was referred to the island delega-
tion. Kauai went through as in the
bill, on motion of Gandall, the item of
police pay being passed without refer
ence to the delegation.
Oahu's deputies likewise went
through, and the police pay item was
referred to the local delegation. The
items of jailors, guards and lunas were
referred to Pulaa and Fernandez Ka-
lama, Vida, Kupihea and Kali.
When the item detective services"
was reached Kupihea moved that it be
stricken out as there was too much de-
tective service. on motion of Vida
however it was passed at $2400, TO be
divided as follows oahu, $1,000; Ha-
wall, 5000 Maui. $500; Kauai, $500.
TREASURER'S SALARY.
The Treasury department was here
brought up and Immediately there arose
a question of equity. Harris moved to
make the salary $500, the same as that
put down for the Attorney General.
Aylett supported this as did Keala-
waa, both saying that it would be in
justice to decrease the salary where
the office was filled by white man and
hold 1t up where n Hawaiian was in
Office. Fernandez nalvely said that all
an Attorney-General had to do was 10
look at the law, while the Treasurer
had to look after the money, supervise
the work of the office, have charge of
insurance and other matters. Kaniho
broke out in a new place. making a
long speech on the basis that the
Treasurer had no assistants, had to dc
all himself, and therefore was entitled
TO more pay than the Attorney Genera
who had assistants.
darris showed Dy the nSufes ina
were used yesterday against the Attor'
ney-GeneraPs salary, that no state il
the Union paid its Attorney Genera
less than its Treasurer and also that the
Treasurers of great States got less sala,

superfiuous clerks. In closing he urged
that all OF the heads should be put or
the same basis. Pulaa wanted actor
