slblc, as early as We can, the results
will be accomplished.
II 1t Ii left as II has been TO the
clerk after the House adjourned, with
the amount OF work the House has
assumed. It would be physical Inn
possibility. The journal this year will
be bigger than that OF 1906"
was the clerk asked IL he could do
that work in thirty days7" asked Pail.
mo"
Was II not proper to have recog-
nized the clerk In the matter before
appointing other outside clerks?" con-
tinued the Maui leader.
There is nothing in the rules which
requires the committee to do so. The
committee goes strictly on the resolu-
ton and has no idea of overlooking the
clerk after the House rises. But In
stead of having thirty days he will
have only ten days work to do
RAwLINs SEES A sNAG.
1T seems that we are getting into
deeper water every time we touch this
question:" said Rawlins. II want to
know where we will draw the line
Upon whom will the responsibility rest
If the committee does the work up I'M
ting all the information about it."
Sheldon also had felt no undercur-
rent. He would not know one If he
felt it, but If there is going to be a
storm he moved the House adjourn.
For the first time the words fell on
deaf ears, although the hands of the
clock had worked around to nearly FIVE
o'clock.
II would like to have this matter
settled now. once for ALL" said the
Speaker.
Kaleiopu explained the resolution he
had brought in which had precipitated
the whole affair and as this had pass
ed, he thought this should settle the
whole business.
The Speaker gave some figures. He
had not been able to get the cost of
the 1901 Journal as the records were
destroyed. In 1903 the cost was $4,000
and in 1905 over $4,000, when only forty
books had been printed. This year
the work will be done. although there
is more of 1t than in 1905, at less
money. The matter is in the hands of
the committee and will duly report
when the occasion arises"
WISE THINKS OTHERWISE.
After the House rose, Wise again
declared himself.
Yes. 1t may he all settled so far as
the House is concerned, but not so far
as l am concerned. Do they think l
am going to get only ten days work
out of the Journal and then certify
that it is all correct? l certainly will
do nothing of the kind. 1t would be q
physical impossibility for me to go
through the work in ten days"
Which shows that the storm is by no
means settled and unless all signs fail
the House will see an open row before
many days. The Speaker has strong
friends and the clerk also has a fol-
lowing.
til the time the House rises and then
the clerk takes charge, will it not be
case of too many cooks spelling the
broth. 1t seems to me that the ones
who start it should carry it through"
The Speaker said that Rawlins mis-
understood. The committee would
have full control of the Journal the
only responsibility on the clerk being
to certify to the correctness of it dur
ing the last ten days. Last session 1t
took seven months to get the work
done. and this session it will be done
in time. There is also the question of
expense to be considered.
HUGHES STATES HIS POSITION.
Hughes thought there was strong
undercurrent which was getting
stronger. He had gone on the COM
mittee in good faith. thinking the work
for the interest of the Territory. He
also wished to sustain the Speaker,
whose actions from the first had
shown that he had the interest of the
people at heart.
IF there is any member in the
House who has any objections to this
committee or who thinks the commit
tee will not do right, let him rise now
and say so, that we may be relieved
of our responsibility concluded
Hughes.
Rawlns said he had felt no under
current but simply exercised his right
as a member to learn what was going
on. He got excited and exclaimed:
Il saw a storm brewing here at ten
minutes to twelve yesterday. Did I
act like a man who wanted to help on
that storm and disturb the harmony
that has been going on in the House
for forty-two days? 1 knew the mem
bers and others We're talking about
some coming trouble and 1 believe that
the matter can be settled best by get
