carried through second reading.
The Conference committee appointed
on Senate Bill 70, comforting upon the
counties the right Of eminent domain,
made its report, which was in the ma
lure of compromise. The report was
adopted
THE KNIFE Is Barred.
The House In Committee Of the
Whole resumed consideration of the
salary appropriation bill, taking II up
Ql the item calling for $500 month
for the Attorney General.
Pail wanted to cut II TO $3.50.
Rawlins strenuously opposed any
such action. The Attorney General,
he said, Is the legal adviser of every
bead of department In the Territory,
and $500 month Is not any too much
for him. Under the Monarchy the sal
AIRY was $4,000. Up to two years ago
the Territory paid the Attorney Cen
eral $500 a month, but Governor Car
ter under his policy of retrenchment
cut II to $500.
II stated at the beginning Of the
session that the Office was worth $375
Il month, and | am still of the same
opinion. | am not talking for Mr.. Pet
ers. He is no particular friend of
mine. I am talking for the dignity OF
the Office Mr.. Peters is not going 10
bold II all his life, nor any other man
after him. But IL Is the most import
ant Office Of them all, and am OPP
posed to any cut"
Mahoe seconded Palfs motion to
cut the salary. After the Attorney
General" he said, lis the first deputy
and the second deputy and the third
deputy. As he has them to assist him.
! think $3.50 is sufficient.
Pail said he didn't want TO cause any
trouble so he would withdraw his mo-
tiCn.
Mahoe promptly made the same mo-
lion. ...= ...
PETERS NO LOAFER.

no loafer, tell you." said Joseph. ''He
If good man and he works like a
beaver. | know because I worked In
that Office eleven months. I move we
pass this ut $500 right away"
Akau moved that the figure be made
more than $500 us the Office Of Attor-
ney General is the most important In
the Government. He proposed to cut
OFF one deputy.
Kaniho seconded Mahoe's $3.50 mo-
ton. The county attorneys, he said,
are deputies of the Attorney General,
30 that he doesn't have as much work
to do as he used to.
Sheldon favored Akau's motion with
the exception OF cutting of the two
deputies. THE members have lost
sight of the fact" he said, that we
have bill to prohibit the Attorney
General from practicing in civil cases,
The bill has not been reported from
committee yet. | was In that Office
four months two years ago, and know
hat II is like. II you go up there now
YOU will find him and his deputies
busy. Questions come IN to him every
day from the departments. believe
In raising the salary $50, and II you
cut out two deputies, $3.50 Is little
enough.
Moanauli moved the item pass AT
$500 as In the bill, without regard to
the question of deputies, which had
not been reached yet.
