The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-04-18

Inc SCHOOLS are taken from the con
troll Of the city and left with the Ter
ritory. The county act and the genera
municipal act are repealed so far a.
Oahu and Honolulu are concerned. Tn,
Territory is to get twenty-five per CEN
of all taxes collected on Oahu. The tas
levy is to be limited to one per cent
Members of the city council are to be
paid 5000 per year; police magistrates
to get the same: The provision for a
city judge is to be stricken out.
BROWN MAKES A FIGHT.
Senator c. Brown asked for time to
make minority report Achi moved
that he be limited to one day. Brown
then raised the point that the bin was
incomplete, as the bill with amend
ments had not been included in the
report. He moved that it be referred
back to the committee.
II know how to do my duty" replied
Achi, who said it wasn't necessary to
amend the bill until the report had been
adopted.
Senator Baldwin said it was almost
an insult to require the minority to
report within limited time
Senator Brown said he had been con-
suited but once by Achi, and that he
refused to sign the report unless GER
tain parts were stricken from the bill.
The report had been presented to him
only on Wednesday.
IT gave it to you on Monday" said
Aehi. land you refused to sign, You
said you wouldn't sign it down stairs,
tao. in front of a whole crowd
I don't deny it," replied Brown.
Senator McCandless said the Senate
in the special session had established a
precedent in refusing to allow Kalau-
olxalani time for a minority report. He
considered the Long ILL very import
ant, so that Oahu would have but one
set of officers and save money TO the
tax payers. He considered that to have
both the general municipal bill and the
county act was like having two engines
to run one boat, and he argued that enc
set of officers was enough for the
island.
JUMPS ON ACHL.
IT don't believe that the Senator who
just spoke and the Senator who pre-
ceded him (Achi) know what they are
talking about" replied c. Brown. This
Long bill makes a one per cent nnunic-
ipal tax in addition to the tax for
oil
ger power than the Legislature. 1t
takes every power from the Legislature
and gives it to the city council The
purpose of this bill is to make politics,
and to give some people a chance to
get their hands in the county and mu-
treasures. I don't think any
one can say that have shirked my
duty. or that any Senator has worked
harder than I have"
There is no question of that" said
There were lots of insinuations
thrown OUT replied Brown.
II haven't retorted McCandiess.
81 don't know whether you have or
not. You are throwing out insinuations
against every one all the time"
mo. L haven't
Then you don't understand the Eng
ish language"
Senator Baldwin tried to throw oil
lpon the troubled waters by suggesting
hat there was no need of haste, and
hat the bin had already passed the
House. Senator McCandless said that
lie had no wish to force the bill upon
he Senate, but the Chamber of Com
nerce had recommended the bin, and
he Senate could cut out the undesir-
BILE features. Achi said there was
eed of haste. so that the Governor /,
hight have time to consider it. He
aid there. were some Amendments
hitch might yet be added.
THAT just shows that you didn't :
now what you were doing" said
rown.
The motion to place the report on the ;
lble and to compel the minority to !,
eport on Monday. was then put and
assed. seven to FIVE. Achi and Nc
