THE SENATE
Continued from page y

OF the fact that an invitation had been
extended to them, he thought 1t should
be accepted by the Senate and that
they pay one-half Of the expenses, said
to be $780, and that fifty permits should
be granted to the Senate.
Dickey thought that, as the Senate
had but half as many members as the
House and a smaller appropriation for
expenses 1t should stand a smaller
proportion of the cost of the trip than
one-half. 1t would be fair enough II
the expenses of the trip were borne
one-third by the Senate and two-thirds
by the House. He moved an amend
ment that the Senate offer to pay 5000
Of the expenses.
Achi moved that the invitation be
referred to the Senate Health Com
mittee to make arrangements with the
House Committee. If they decided on
something not acceptable to the House.
the House might table it. 1t looked to
him they were going to the settlement
as guests of the House. Had they
| right as guests to go up there and
make their own investigations? He
did not believe in going up there and
doing nothing.
Dowsett did not think the cost of the
trip too great and the payment of half
by the Senate would be happy solu-
ton of previous difficulty over the mat
ter.
McCandless did not think there was
anything to smooth over. The House
could easily have amended the joint
| resolution sent 1t by the Senate. II
! the House did not want the Senate to
go. the Senate might as well stay at
home. There would be no difficulty for
the Senate to get a steamer IL they
thought necessary to go. No notice
of any difficulties at the Settlement
had been received by the Senate, but
the House Committee had q number Of
complaints.
| Paris understood the reason the
House put their resolution on the table
was because the Senate was opposed
to paying the expenses of two or three
/ hundred people to go to Molokai. He
did not believe they had any right to
spend the money given for the ex-
penses Of the Senate to pay the pas
sages Of two or three hundred people.
If they were going to visit the Settle
ment, 1t should be by a committee of
gate. He was in favor of declining
the invitation With thanks.
Bishop seconded the motion to place
the matter in the hands of the Health
Committee, which carried by the af-
firmative vote of ten members.
Other House COMMUNICATIONS were
to the effect that Long, Kaleiopu and
Kalino We're appointed a conference
lnf,, TDtl NJ
that the House had concurred in the
Senate amendments to House Bill No.
