ed to omit the item salary for interpre.
ter. He thought the Sergeantat.Arms
could do the interpreting, as he under.
} stood both languages perfectly, and
Senator Kaohi was the only one who
needed, an interpreter. He thought II
was a measure of economy. He said
the House had put in an assistant
clerk to act as interpreter.
Senator Achi (Rep.) thought the
Senate had done better than the
House. They had cut out the office OF
assistant clerk and had cut the inter.
prefers salary in half.

ed the point that the Senate had al
ready decided by unanimous vote to
have an Interpreter.
Senator Dickey replied that It did
not follow that he must be paid.
Senator McCandless (Rep.) Of Oahu
said. I'VE paid our clerk SO a day las,
session and an assistant clerk IS pei
. day. We paid our interpreter $40 pc,
day. i Is a courtesy to two or three
Senators who do not understand Eng
lish to have an interpreter. and fol
that reason suppose 1t has got to be
granted. II the Senators all under
stood English we could do away witt
: the office Of interpreter. That item Of
expense could be done away with. Bu
there are two or three Senators be
longing to the minority who do not un
derstand English and 1t seems abso
J. lutely necessary. We have cut |,
I down from $40 to s. per day"
