/ ANOTHER VETO.
AT 1915 a. m. Secretary Atkinso
approached the Senate and the sergeant
alarms announced the arrival of Sc
message from the Governor Thi
time it put the kibosh on another smal
farmer aid in the interest of tn
ranchmen and sugar plantations. Whe
; the message was read Senator Wood
remarked that the principal objectio
seemed to be based on the fact tina
another law existed, an objection which
in the Senator 8 mind, could be easil
corrected. He moved that action be de
ferred until Monday and the motion
| carried.
House Bill No. 1914, relating to ;
sinking fund, passed third reading.
PROTECTING AN INDUSTRY.
Next to Local Option comes the pro
lection of the soda water industry but
| the last comes first. House Bill No
! 207, which has been the drawing card
of the session to the makers of aer-
ated waters, was slightly amended on
motion of Senator Kalama and passed
third reading.
AND YET AGAIN.
At 1926, as if forgotten in the
rush of vetoes, Secretary Atkinson
again pushed his genial smile into the
chamber and gave the rgeant-at-arms
another opportunity to throw his chest
notes in the direction of the Presi-
dent. This time the veto was on the
bill prohibiting persons from digging
up streets and roads without first hav-
ing permission from the Superintend-
ent of Public Works. The considera-
ton of the message is set for today.
The show license bill was called up
and amended on motion of Senator
Lane to read "and other places of
amusement so that baseball grounds
would be included in the list of places
benefited.
When 1t came to the bill providing
that goods for the Government to the
amount of five hundred dollars must
in all cases be bought by tender SEN
ator Smith insisted upon his amend
of
necessity or during crisis the head
of a department might buy, with the
approval of the Governor. Senator
Dowsett did not see things through
the same spectacles and spoke his OBJ
Jections, saying the Senate could be
called in special session in such cases.
The clause was not allowed. Senator
Dowsett remarking if this was allow
ed there would be a great calamity
here within six months. He did not
approve of any bill that would allow
the expenditure of funds beyond the
appropriated.
Senator Kalama opposed because it
would give the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works the right to go ahead and
finish the dam or the Alakea slip. The |
bill passed second reading.
