HAssoN OUT OF A JOB.
The consideration of the appropriation
bill was resumed and Immediately
Senator C. Brown moved reconsidera-
ton of the item of 1920 for an electrical
inspector and asked that 1t be stricken
out. Senators McCandless, KaIauoka-
Iani and Brown favored the idea while
Senators Paris and Achi were against
doing away with the electrical inspec-
tor.
Senator Achi made another attack
upon the Public Lands Committee when
Senator MeCandless insinuated that the
electrical inspector was now being IL
legally paid, and that he had some
revelations to make Achi argued that
the committee had no right to keep
secret anything it knew and that the
Senate was entitled to the information.
The motion to strike out the item car
ried.
The appropriations for agriculture
and forestry started another warm dis
cussion. Senator Isenberg wanted the
commissioner to be an entomologist and
suggested that there should be two of
these officials, one to remain in the
Territory the other to travel outside.
He spoke of earth brought in from
Japan recently which was simply alive
with pests, and told also of the bring
ing in of cane from Australia which
was infected with a new species of leaf
hopper.
Senator Crabbe left the chair to
move that the agricultural appropria-
tee to consider the advisability of turn
ing the entire department over to the
Federal agent He said that there were
SAC, 900 a year for salaries and expenses
which could be saved to the Territory
by this plan, and an additional appro-
priation could be made for the Federal
agricultural bureau He stated that if
the Territory would appropriate $4,000
for the Federal Station Congress would
give the same amount. He suggested
also that the Federal bureau already
mad what OT1clalS were required ana
there was no necessity for two sets of
officers. Senator McCandIess stated
that $4,000 additional had been asked
and he was in favor of referring the
entire appropriation bill to committees
for investigation. In the Public Works
5ffice alone ne thought there could be a |
saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 and all
he bureaus could be combined under |
one head.
Senator Baldwin said he favored re-
,erring the agricultural bureau appro-
priations to a special committee but |
thought that the subject should be
weighed carefully as it was one of the
most important in the Territory He
spoke of the pests and the necessity !
for a strict watch and said that small |
arming was. just beginning to be sue
cess as exemplifed by the Wahiawa |
colony. An entomologist was needed |
and there was danger from pests he |
said. He referred also to the shipment
IF pears which had been condemned |
md which might have brought many |
pests into the islands.
The matter was referred to special |
consisting of Senators Isen-
,erg, Baldwin and Kalauokalani
