AGAINST THE SECRETARY.
When the committee had reconvened
Vida moved to strike out the item in
serted under the office of the Secretary,
Commissioner of immigration. He said
that the office of Secretary was a
Federal one, in that the officer was
appointed by the President, and he
thought that the Office should be under
some territorial head.
Kelinoi advanced the idea that the
Legislature had appropriated sum for
advertising the territory, had put that
money under the Secretary and If that
officer should refuse to place the fund
at the disposal of the new official. the
immigration commissioner would find
that he had no funds to carry on his
work.
Kumalae objected to having the APP
propriat IN under the Secretary's Of

his guns and finally the item was In
serted under the Treasury department
according to the Vida motion.
