How do you know? asked Isen-
berg.
IF bids were called for they
never got any such results as the Sen
ate did, and challenge anyone to say
| that the House did advertise for bids,
if they had, the sin would not have
been so great"

Senator Dickey said he didn't be-
lieve in paying s21 when the work
could be done for $1.3S nor did he be-
lieve in allowing $3.50 for translating.
He said he knew a first class transla-
tor who had offered to do the work
for $1,000 and yet the House intend
ed to let it out at 80, &C.,
LOAN BILL AS A THREAT.
Senator Achi said the light was all
over fourteen dollars, figuring out that
with the amount the committe had cut
from the translating bill the saving
would only be that amount. He said
it would hurt the country if the bill
was not passed for the House wouldn't
work any longer. He said the House
would refuse to pass the loan bill and
he didn't want to sacrifice $500, 900 for
the sake of fourteen dollars.
You are willing to sacrifice princi-
pie for policy? asked McCandless.
my principle is to get the 81, 500, 900
and not to save only s14.'' was the re-
ply.
PARIS AGAINST IT.
Senator Paris stated that he didn't
object to the passage OF lump sum
for expenses, which the House spent |
as it pleased, but he did object to Civ |
ing the House money to pay S23S per |
page for work which could be done |
for $1.3S. 1.-THE Senate should assert |
It's rights" he said, land save the peo-
pie this money. There is no more rea-
son why the House should throw away
money to certain people whom they |
wish to favor, than to say that a gov /
eminent official should do it. AS far
as the loan bill in the House is con-
If it is a fact that they, from
'pite against few Senators should see
1t to injure the whole people from Ha-
vail to Kauai, I say they are not fit
o be representatives. But I don't be-
ieve the House will do any such thing,
nd some of the members will uphold
IS in our action here. for one won't
ote for the bill.
Senator Achi insisted that the action
the Senate would force the House to
ANGEL a contract which it had no
ight to do. :
Senator Paris replied that no pru- .
ent business man would make a con-
,act when they hadn't the money %
ay it.
Achi said the Hackfeld wharf con-
act was just the same and had to
2 carried out. to which Paris replied
lat if the Legislature saw fit to repu-
ate the contract it would not be bind
e.
Senator J. T. Brown moved that the
IL pass.
Senator Dickey wanted to correct
chfs statement about the saving OF
urteen dollars, and said that the saw
g on printing alone would be ST.
while on translating there could be
lother saying of $500.
President Crabbe inquired whether
e Bulletin really had a contract, Achi
id they had, and were already doing
e work. McCandless stated that it
as the duty of the committee to bring
copy of the contract up for the in
ection of the Senate. so they might be
formed, whether the book was to be
inted in gold letters or not.
Senator Kaohi said there was no use
waiting until the milk had been
illed and then gathering up the re-
aims. The contract had been awarded
ID he didn't see exactly what could
done.
Senator McCandless replied that it |
Is true the House had spilled it's milk.
t the Senate still had theirs, and
Int propose to throw it away.
President Crabbe said he wasn't
ldy to vote until he had found out
lether or not there had been a con-
let, if there was the Senate could
nothing but vote the money.
senator McCandless inquired what
d become of the s1,7O0 which the -
,use had left at the close of the re-
lar session. and which was to have
IN used for printing the Journal. -
