ECONOMIC ON TIME.
Senator Dickey, after Senator BALDWIN
| had suggested that Interpreter Bush
take his place, moved that the Senate
! lose no more time than necessary in
| interpreting. I'VE want to get through
as quickly as possible" said Dickey
land we shouldn't use any more time
in interpreting than is absolutely nee
essary. When the members all under
stand thing there is no necessity for
time being wasted an interpreting it,
]
when member doesn't understand. 1
move that we go right ahead in the
English language and when anyone
don't understand he should speak right
up and then it will be interpreted to
! him"
This motion was not put to vote, but
there was no objection from either
side, and it was held that no vote was
necessary.
Senator. McCariless thereupon offered
resolution fixing the salaries of the
Senate officers, as follows:
Secretary, $40 per diem; Assistant
Secretary, Sc; Interpreter, IS; Ser
geant-at-Arms, IS; Chaplain (for the
SESSION., $3.50; Messenger, SO, and Jani |
tor, 81.
Senator Kalauokalani seconded the
resolution and it was unanimously (
adopted. The resolution already shows
the spirit of economy with which the
Senators are acting. There is reduc-
zion in the Interpreters salary of frOm |
ten dollars to eight dollars per day.
Achi moved that the Secretary notify |
the House o. Representa.iN eS that the |
Senate had organized and vas ready Cor |
business.
Senator C. Brown amended to the cf
feet that the Governor be notified that |
the Senate had convened and was ready !
to receive any communications which
he had to offer. Achi moved an amend |
:nent that a committee be appointed to
act with the House in notifying the
Governor.
Senator Baldwin stated that it was
not known whether the House was
ready for business, and suggested that
the Senate had to deal only with the |
Governor.
Achi stated that the law required the
action of the legislature and not of the
Senate alone, and If the House was not
ready to receive the message the SEN
ate also would have to wait.
The chair suggested that Browns
motion was the only one before the
house, when Achi announced that his
amendment had been accepted.
Baldwin objected to a consideration
of the amendment, saying that he ia
vored immediate communication with
the Governor, as the House might not
be ready for business for two or three
days and the Senate should not have
its work blocked. Senator Dickey sec
onded the original motion of Brown
which was carried The chair appointed
|
lauokalani to wait upon the Governor
and a recess of five minutes was taken
to await the committees return.
MESSAGE NOT READY.
Senator Baldwin reported for the COM
mittee upon reconvening, that the Gov
ernor was not at his office, and the mes
sage was not quite ready. He stated
that Mr.. Carter, who represented the
Governor in a way, though not official
ly, had informed the committee that
the message would be ready as soon
as both houses We're ready to receive
IT, He stated also that the Governor
would be down at one o'clock when
the message would be ready for deliv
cry.
lsenberg moved an immediate ad-
journment until ten o'clock this morn
ing which was Immediately seconded by
Kalauokalani.
President Crabbe suggested that there
,, was no necessity for such long ad-
journment as the message would be
ready at one o'clock and there was
the entire afternoon which could be
utilized, Senator Baldwin suggested
; also that the committee on rules could
: be appointed and some work accom-
plished. lseuberg then offered to with
draw his motion, but his second refused
and 1t was carried by a vote of seven
u to six, Woods and Isenberg voting with
