running business, and Saturday night
comes around you have got to have
money to pay the hands. This is a
matter of conscience with me. L feel
my responsibility, that is upon me to
the people of this Territory. All gov
ernment is a matter of business. We
must conduct that business success
fully. / believe, Mr.. President, that
to establish the system that is pro-
posed to be established by this act
would cause an instant panic here that
would be little less than a calamity to
this Territory"
ACHI THE ELOQUENT.
81 would like to ask the Senator,'
queried Dickey, "what objection he
has to amending the County Act7"
''We might start in to amend it, )"
said Bishop, ''but 1 do not know where
we would stop"
Achi said that he had the laws for
the purpose of putting the County Act
into effect, and of meeting the objec-
tions of the Governor already drawn.
Waving aloft in his hand a clipping
from the Advertiser of yesterday, he
said: "The Governor of the Territory
has here publicly stated his objections
to the County Bill. 1t is our duty to
pass laws to meet those objections.
Our course is made plain for us by
! this published interview. l myself
have been accused, in the newspapers
and elsewhere, of treachery to the
cause of county government, and yet I
have worked honestly and consistent
ly to bring it about. And I will work
now for the passage of laws to make
the County Bill operative and meet the
objections of the Governor.
"The Governor is appointed by the
President of the United States to look
after the interests and the credit of
| this Territory" Achi concluded: "I
believe he will do it-and he is right
to do it. But if we pass proper bill
for county government, safeguarding
the interest of the Territory, believe
that the Governor will sign it,"
Paris reiterated his belief that the
Senate was helpless as conditions stood
to enact the legislation that would be
| needed to meet the Governor objec-
tions amendatory of this act and to
make the County Act operative.
DowsETT HAS FAITH.
Dowsett believed that the Govern
! or s objections to the County Act could
be met by amendment of the Count
Act, and would be, met by the Legis-
| lature. The people and the Legislature
| and the Governor were probably near
er county government than they ever
had been. He had confidence enough
in the Senate and House to believe
that they would pass the necessary
amendments to meet the views of the
| Governor. He had no apologies to
make to his constituents, nor to any
body, but he thought it was his duty
to work and bring the Legislature into
agreement with the Governor. The
Territory would be in funds after No.
vember, and after that date there
would be nothing in Senator Bishop Is
objection.
''1t is a part of the program, is it
not" asked Bishop, "to postpone the
operation of the county act until TN.
Territory gets money!"
' sit could be arranged" answered
Dowsett.
"That is not in the amendments
prepared, said Dickey, "but 1 an
agreeable to the change"
McCandless did not favor county
government personally. In his view
it was not best for this country. But
he had given his pledge for it and h,
would vote for it if there was not
! cent to carry it into effect.
