be convicted for it.
is is no more right for us to invite
our fellow countrymen to labor and
invest under the conditions that pre-
vail here than it is for us individually
to invite friend to dinner when there
is nothing to eat.
"When the monied interests here
realize that it is their oounden duty to
keep alive, encourage and patronize
those on whom they rely for the pro-
lection of life and property we can
rest assured that there will be no need
for any special money appropriation to
entice immigrants here. "
The report was tabled on Harris's
motion, he explaining that large sums
of money had been spent here by tour
lists and that judicious advertising
would unquestionably bring more.
The Police Committee reported on
the non.payment of different coroner g
iuries on Molokai to the effect that they
had not been paid, as the last Legis-

oner's juries. 1t recommended that the
items be inserted in the Deficiency APP
preparation Bill.
The Police Committee recommended

ment of police officers in Kalawas IN

RELATING Az SALARIES.

Chapter Q, which was that portion
relating to salaries of county officers
in the several proposed counties, was
taken up next. McCandless moved, in
the beginning of the debate, that the
salaries Of supervisors be placed at
$500 year instead Of 5000. He said
that county government would not be
success if it were made expensive.
The idea was to make county govern
ment a success. He would, in fact, be
in favor of making supervisors serve
for the l.rst two years without any
pay at all. This talk was drawn by an
amendment from Paris to give super
visors mileage of ten cents a mile each
way.
Dickey favored smaller salaries, or
no salaries, but thought mileage should
be paid. And then, on a tie, President
Isenberg cast the deciding vote in ia
vor of the $500 salary. A motion to
add mileage to this was lost.
After this Achi moved to strike all
salaries out of the bill. He did not
believe that members of the Legisla-
ture from outside districts should fix
salaries of county officers in Oahu.
These salaries should be fixed by the
supervisors in the several counties.
Paris did not agree to this, and
neither did Dowsett. 1t would leave
the way open to good deal of graft
ing. If man was running for office,
he should know what pay he was go
ing to get.
Action on the county bill was de-
ferred at this point until 2 p. IN. to-
day, and Kalama from the Health Com
mittee reported an amicable adjust
ment of the Molokai junket trouble.
The Senate is to pay 5000 and the
House $3.50, and the Senate is to have
100 permits. The report was adopted
and Senators Dowsett, Kalama, Brown,
Achi and Gandall were appointed n
special committee to report on condi-
tions at the Settlement. The Spate
then adjourned in order to give the
members chance to attend a fire drill
to which they had been invited by
Chief Thurston
