MINOR OFFICERS GO THROUGH
The registrar of public accounts
came in for a little discussion at the
afternoon session. A motion by Kupi-
hea, that the salary be $3.50, instead of
$500 was followed by proposal by
Long that the salary be $l,350, which he
said should be followed by the raising
of the deputy registrar, as both give
the same bond, and have practically
similar responsibility.
Gandall and Harris argued for the
salary as in the bill and that was the
final decision. For the assistant Vida
moved 1880 instead of SlO50, Kalama
$780, and Harris at $lO5O, as in the bill
, The highest figure was adopted by the
House, The license inspector and Ii
cense clerk got 5000 each. the assistant
clerk 5000 the deputy insurance COM
missioner $525, the recording clerk $450

the Attorney Generals office gets 5000
The House approved the increase.
IMMIGRATION WORK SUGGESTED.
Long moved that there be inserted an
item, Immigration Commissioner,
$500" He explained that only by gov
ernment advertising could immigrants
be induced to come here within the
Federal law. The fact was that when
the printed matter sent out under the
seal of the government any immigrant
that might come here would be pri-
vileged to enter without being in con-
flict with the United States laws. Ke-
liinoi moved to refer the matter to
special committee, Kupihea suggesting
he favored the plan but thought 1t
should be under the Secretary of the
Territory. The House referred the item
to committee, consisting of Long,
Lewis and Gandall, the latter with
drawing in favor of Harris.
The tax bureau items passed until
that for salaries and commissions came,
which took roll call, but 1t passed
at $4,000.
The bureau of conveyances went
through as in the bill until the salary
of surveyor under the Torrens act
which was raised to $1,000 from $780,
after some debate. The salary of the
stenographer was raised TO 5000.
The salary checks We're passed around
at this time and Pulaa Immediately
moved that the committee rise but the
majority wanted to work.

| When the salary of the Superintend-
/ ent of Public Works was reached Vida
moved that the consideration be de-
/ ferred. lie said Superintendent Cooper

Pile should have something to say in
the matter and he wanted delay until
the Governor should know just what
the Legislature wanted done. II was
whispered about he said that Eben Low
was 10 be given the place, and the peo-
pie We're interested To see If this place
was To be so disposed.
Kumalae moved to make the salary
$500 and there was a long debate over
the matter, again the motion to rise

hed the House that the Governor had
