property of every other person in the
community is also protected, is doing
patriotic service, well worthy of the
support of every citizen. l trust pub
lie opinion will cease to be guided by
the foolish remarks of ridicule, and
Will support the suggestion already
made to you, of an appropriation Of
$4,000 per annum for the maintenance
of the militia. The public must surely
recognize that, considered simply as
premium for protection insurance, it
is worth while.
1t will also be necessary for you to
pass another bill, making an appropria-
ton oe at least $4,000 additional to the
current expenses of the present fiscal
period, to cover the extra expenditure
this incident will cause the Police De-
partment.
/ do not doubt but that you will give
these matters your immediate and So
rious consideration.

The law by which payment is made
fer the services of members of the
Boards of Registration provides that
the Treasurer is only authorized to pay
out of such appropriations as may be
made by the Legislature 81 day of
not less than Elk hours for each day of
actual service, which shall include the
travelling expenses, etc, and shall not
include the cost of refreshments.
BY Act 25 of the Session Laws OF
1903 published notice OF all meetings
of the Boards of Registration is re-
quired and payment has been made in
accordance herewith. If it is thought
that this compensation is not sufi-
eient, then the law should be changed.
/ am informed that members of the
Oahu Board were paid in excess Of tho
provisions of law, in which case n
blunder has been made. for which
someone should be responsible; but un-
der no circumstances do two wrongs
make a right.
