Tha, cablegram received by Govern
or Atkinson yesterday MARKS the sue
cess OF the effort made by Delegate
Kuhio aud Governor Carter. beginning
after the close OF the last session OF the
Territorial Legislature, 10 have Hawaii
put on a parity with the other Terri
tories in the matter of the payment Of
the expenses of the Legislative sessions
by the Federal government
There IL a provision IN the bill that
this appropriation of thirty thousand
dollars for the Legislature shall be
available only on condition that the
members Of the legislative body shall
forego their two hundred dollars
apiece for the extra session. Besides
saving the thirty thousand TO the Ter
ritory, therefore, there will be this ad-
ditional saving Of two hundred dollars
for each of the forty-6ye members Of
the Senate and House, making nine
thousand dollars more for each bien-
NAL period. And there will be the in
dueement 10 the members 70 expedite
business, finishing il all up at one ses-
sion and getting back TO their regular
employments. so the passage Of this
bill by Congress will work for GOOD all
around. And Of course it will receive
the signature Of the President. Gov
ernor Carter probably saw to that be-
fore he began urging the measure.
BEGUN BY KUHIo.
This measure was initiated by Dele
gate Kuhio, as a matter Of fact, as the
correspondence upon il shows. This
correspondence, which is most inter
a.s.. l.lI l.ss
TO the Governor from the Secretary Of
the Delegate:
"Hon. George X. Carter, Governor or
Hawaii.
"Dear Sir: On behalf Of the Dele
gate to Congress 1 have taken up with
the Treasury Department the question
Of having an appropriation for the leg
islative expenses of Hawaii included
in the annual estimates made by that
department TO the Congress, the same
as they already include such estimates
for the other territories.
~ am advised by the Treasury Off
cials that if you will make a special es-
innate for such expense, supplemental
TO your estimates already made, and
not necessarily TO be included in your
annual report, il will be forwarded to
Congress through the Treasury Depart
ment, and we shall then have a good
working possibility of getting il into
the annual appropriation bill.
Every truly yours,
(Sig.) "GEORGE Il. MCCLELLAN,
Secretary to the Territorial Dele
gate"
