notice was not given, which is shown
by there being but one bid"
How do you know? asked Isen-
berg.
"If bids were called for, they
never got any such results as the Sem
ate did. and l 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 $40 when the work
could be done for sl.3S nor did he be-
lieve in allowing $1,75O for -translating
He said he knew a first class transa-
tor who had offered to do the work
for $1,000 and yet the House intend
ed to let it out at $500.
LOAN BILL AS A THREAT.
Senator Achi said the fight 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 s2,500,0 900 for
the sake of fourteen dollars.
you are willing to sacrifice princi-
pie for policy? asked McCandless.
"My principle is to get the s2,500000
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 n lump sum
for expenses, which the House spent
as it pleased. but he did object to Civ
ing the House money to pay seas per
page for work which could be done
for S1.3S. "The Senate should assert
its 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 gov
ernment official should do 1t. AS far
as the loan bill in the House is con-
cerned, if it is n, fact that they from
spite against n few senators should see
fit to injure the whole people from Ha-
waii TO Kauai, l say they are not MT
to be representatives.. But I don't be-
lieve the House will do any such thing,
and some of the members will uphold
us in our action here. l for one won't
vote for the bill.
Senator Achi insisted that the action
of the Senate would force the House to
cancel a contract which it had no
right to do.
Senator Paris replied that no pru-
dent business man would make a con-
tract when they hadn't the money 20
pay it,
Achi said the Hackfeld wharf con-
tract was just the same and had to
be carried out, to which Paris replied
that If the Legislature saw fit to repu-
diate the contract it would not be bind
ing.
Senator j. #. Brown moved that the
bill pass
Senator Dckey wanted to correct
Achis statement about the saving or
fourteen dollars, and said that the saw
ing on printing alone would be ST.
72S while on translating there could be
another saying of s7o0.
President Crabbe inquired whether
the Bulletin really had contract, Achi
said they had, and We're already doing
the work. McCandless stated that II
was the duty Of the committee to bring
n copy of the contract up for the In
spection of the Senate, so they might be
Informed, whether the book was to be
printed in gold letters or not,
Senator Kaohi said there was no use
in waiting until the milk had been
spilled and then gathering up the re-
mains. The contract had been awarded
and he didn't see exactly what could
be done.
Senator McCandless replied that it
