JOKE ON KAUAI
The joke is on Kauai. After all
that fight made by the Kauai dele
cation to be allowed to divert the
81, 200 school house item to wharves
and landings, the Governor vetoed
that one lone item in Fl. B. 215.
Coney said he thought the school
house bill was more important than
the one for landings and wharves,
and he feared if the veto were over
ridden the school house item would
he vetoed He moved, therefore, to
sustain tn veto. Sheldon said he was
still of the opinion he was the other
day, but rather than lose all he
would abandon this. The veto was
sustained, Silva voting alone against
sustaining.
NO PAUOA WATER
The next appropriation bill to
come back from the robin 's-egg- blue
chamber was II. B. 1871, the special
appropriation from the Loan Fund
measure. In this bill two items were
vetoed, Kaleo's pet Pauoa water
rights item, $4,000, and the item
for the extension of the Kamuela wa
ter works.
Kaleo, of course, made another
fight for his scheme. He called on
the other members to help him out,
and reminded the House of one of
kaniho's illustrations. When
Plasshopper gets broken leg or wing
all the other grasshoppers come to
his assistance and carry him off. The
erasshopper Kaleo was In trouble,
and he wanted all the other legisla-
tive grasshoppers to come and help
him. He moved to override the veto.
Kaniho gave Kaleo the sign to sit
down, and Kaleo subsidized, SO as to
give the Kohala nightingale a
chance to play to the packed gallery
again. Kaniho seconded the motion
made by Kaleo. He said the Govern
or was very quick to support the
Nuuanu dam proposition but he We
tced the Kamuela proposition be-
cause he knew it would inure to the
benefit of the district in which Ka-
niho lived. He, too, called on the
members to be grasshoppers.
The items were voted on separate
ly and the Pauoa water rights prop
osition was killed by vote of IA
to IA. The Kamuela water works
extension item was more fortunate.
The members consented to be grass
hoppers for Kaniho, though they
would not for Kaleo.
MEDICAL BILL DEAD
The Speakers table being tempor-
arily cleared of business, Rawlins
a report of the Conference
Committee on the medical bill, say
ing the committee had failed to
agree. That's the bill the Senate
held up there for AZ days." he said,
land then sent down here with Is
sections out of 16 knocked out. We
can't agree and | therefore move that
the bill be tabled" The motion car
lied.
BY GOVERNOR
Kaleiopu headed off the attempt
Of the Speaker to carry out the fare
we'll program, by demanding imme-
date action on the veto of House
Bill 213, the bill giving the Counties
half their taxes and license fees. The
Speaker was doing his best to kill
the bill, but its hackers would not
stand for any dilatory tactics. They
felt that they had been tricked by
the Governor, and they wanted to
get back at him.
The Speaker tried to shut off de-
bate, but Rice insisted on being
heard. He protested against the
passage of the bill. If it went |
through, he said, before next Febru-
Try the Territory would be register
rg warrants. He admitted that a |
mistake had been made, and that
allure to pass the bill would cripple
he counties, while claiming that to
Ass it would cripple the Territory.
Ealeiopu admitted those facts and
aid that was just the reason the
substitute bill had been introduced
n the Senate.
The Speaker warned the House
hat it was not yet sure that the
iovernor would pocket veto the bill.
hughes agreed that 1t would be bet
er to wait while He moved to de-
er action until 1920, to see if the
governor would not sign the substi-
ute bill.
Kaleiopu nearly had a fit. He
airly suffered in his rage. He in
listed on immediate action because,
Re said, he wanted to go home and
o to bed.
GOVERNOR IS BEATEN
The vote was taken, and the Gov
rnor's refusal to sign the substitute
i'll cost him the very point on
'hich he objected. The veto was
verridden by vote of % to 2, Rice
nd Long voting against the rest of
