Salary Of Treasurer.
Under the heading Treasury De
partment, the item of salary of
Treasurer s2.25O," was the first to
come up for discussion. MIR. Harris
moved to reduce the amount to $1,000
and Mr.. Fernandez moved to refer to
special committee. Mr. Aylett said
that the House should proceed with
| impartial action. There should be no
favoritism because an officer happened
to be a Hawaiian. II there was to be
a cut in one office, there should be a
cut all along the line. The Attorney
Generals salary was cut yesterday
The Treasurer's salary should suffer
the same reduction. Mr.. Aylett sup
ported the motion of Mr.. Harris. Mr..
Fernandez said the Treasurer would
have a lot of extra work piled on him
by the County Act and his position was
the most responsible one In the Gov
eminent. He wanted the matter re-
ierred to a special committee in order
that the exact status of the work OF
each one of the heads of departments
might be learned. Mr.. Kealawaa took
the same stand IS Messrs. Harris and
Aylett and Mr.. Kaniho moved to pass
the item as in the bill, since the du'
ties and responsibilities of the Treas
urer were greater than those of any
other office within the gift Of the Gov
eminent.
Harris Favored a Cut.
Mr.. Harris said there had been a lot
of argument in the House yesterday
with reference to the salary Of the At
torney General and the members had
been shown that the salary as propos
ed in the bill was much higher than
the great majority of States and Ter
ritories on the Mainland. Here Mr.
Harris read the salaries of treasurers
In various States and Territories
showing the same to be about the
same as the salaries of the various At
torney Generals. The member said
there was such a thing as false econ
omy The member who made the
statement that the duties Of Attorney
General were not as onerous as those
OF the Treasurer had evidently failed
to look into the true condition OF af
fairs. Continuing, Mr. Harris said the
heads OF departments should not be
cut down in their salaries. He believ
ed in economy, but the proper way &c
economize was to cut out lot OF the
superfiuous clerks In the various de
rartments. However. II one OF the
heads had his salary cutthen all should
be treated alike and there should be q
cut all along the line.
Pulaa's View Of Matter.
Mr.. Pula said he had stood from the
Yeginning for the passage of the items
as in the bill. He felt sure that If the
Treasurer's salary had been brought
up yesterday in place of that of the
Attorney General, 1t would have pass
ed as in the bill and then the lattel
would have followed the same course
Passed as in the Bill.
The motion to refer the item to
special committee was put and lost an'
the motion to pass the item at $l,So'
suffered the same fate. The motion L
pass the item as in the bill then car
riCd.
The committee here arose and re
ported progress.
