The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-05-05
Respectfully submitted,

Respectfully submitted,
w. Q. ACHI.
Achi made a speech in support of his
minority report, urging the necessity
of keeping the expenditure within the
revenue.
Bishop moved the adoption of the re-
port of the majority. He realized that
the Territory was in a tight place. 1t
was up against a denciency of revenue,
but it was the duty of the Territory
to take care of its sick people who
were not able to take care of them
selves.
Paris said at present the physicians,
having been cut down to $40 a month,
did nothing but register births and
deaths. To keep the pay at $40 a
month would be no good whatever.
Dowsett remarked on the fact that
there was now no physician on Molokai
outside of the Settlement. This was
one of the most important services for
which they had to provide and money
should be voted Tor district physicians
even if the taxes had to be raised.
McCandless said the reason the ply
sicians were cut down two years ago
was because they had not been giving
service to poor people. Nine times out
of ten Hawaiian did not go to a doc
tor because he had no money. Time and
again the speaker had paid doctors for
attending the poor out of his own
pocket. He thought little more eccn-
omy ought to be got out of that appro-
priation than the majority of the COM
mittee proposed.
Paris remarked that the physicians
were required to examine the schools,
something that was not done at all
now.
Achi made a series of charges against
government physicians, such as that of
using government medicines in their
private practice, refusal and neglect
to attend the poor without pay, etc.
He had not received a single letter
asking him to vote for an appropria-
tion for doctors, but two years ago he
received many letters asking him NOT
to vote any money for doctors.
The majority report was adopted.
SALARY RAISED.
Lane moved to raise the salary of
clerk of the judiciary from $175 a
month, as in the bill, to 5000 month.
He spoke of the incumbent as a Ha-
waiian who had conducted the Office
most creditably for sixteen years, and
until last years reduction had been
paid 5000 and more month from
period to period. Carried.
Dickey moved the oil pass as amend
ed and, that having carried, moved to
refer 1t to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, which was ruled out of order.
Hayselden moved to authorize the
clerk to produce upon the table the res
olutions to pay unpaid bills introduced
at the regular session. After some
discussion, in which Dowsett treasured
paid bills in the bill he had introduced
that morning, the motion was with
drawn.
At 3:45 the Senate adjourned.

House Bill No. 81, the bill respecting
