Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1907-04-13

Public works. The SS4oo item Tor
pay OF engineers. architects and
craftsmen ran against snag. II was
finally pulled on and passed. The
item for sewer fireman and three as
sistants. $5160. also went through.
TRIES TO RAISE RACE ISSUE
Kaniho objected to the item for
sewer engineer and fireman ON the
GROUND that one man, a haole, gets
s125 month and the other two,
half-whites or Hawaiians, get only
800. He kept harping on the fact
that the haole gets the most. and
didn't see why he should. even IL he
is the chief engineer and the others
his subordinates. Quinn explained
that the chief Is very competent
man and is the one who set up the
pumps at the sewer station.
But kaniho continued to talk and
talk. trying to make an issue OF the
fact that the highest paid man is u
white man. He did his best to stir
up race feeling. He became violent
and noisy, winding up by moving
that action be further deferred.
Akau moved the item pass.
Kaniho's motion was declared car

LUCK FOR HOSMER
Then kaleiopu wanted to reconsid-
er the action reducing the pay OF the
Superintendent OF Forestry. Carried.
kaleiopu moved the item be put
back to $2oO. kaniho jumped In
with motion to make 1t 5000. Ka-
leiopu's carried.
The item for pay OF assistants, Ia
borers, ETC., Division OF Forestry,
which had been deferred. passed.
kaleiopu moved to reconsider the
action taken on Entomologist Craw's
salary. Carried. He moved to with
draw his cut and that the item pass
at $3.50 as In the bill.
KANIHO HAS BUGS
Kaniho, of course. opposed any
such sensible action as that. lie
moved to cut the salary to $3.50.
He again reverted to his potatoes
and the bugs that bite EN- and want
ed to know why the entomologist Is
not there to put stop to II. Why
should the Territory pay an entomol-
ogist who allows the bugs to bite the
potatoes of Kohala? II would be lots
better to pay a laborer SO n day than
to pay $3.50 to this man. who only
sits in a chair all day.
Rice tried to show the Kicker tina,
the reason Craw has not picked the
bugs on his taro is because the last
Legislature wouldn't give him enough
assistants. He urged Kaniho to sub
side this time, let the item Il
through, and make the next one fol
pay OF assistants; but Kaniho wal
obdurate. There is no such thing a,
convincing him. He hangs to a no
tion like a dog to bone. He insist
ed on cutting Craw's pay. but To-
once his logic failed to convince hi
fellow members and the item passed
as In the bill at $3.50.
1. Then Kaniho had another idea. III
wanted to raise the pay OF the assist
ants to the same as that of thei
chief. The Rem passed as In the bill
The item for assistants OF the Su
perintendent OF Animal Industr.
passed as In the bill.
The item for two Hawaiian inter
prefers was reconsidered on motion
OF Rawlins and boosted so as to Civ
them $125 each.
}, Joseph wanted to boost the tire
, court stenographers back to 5000 a
In the bill instead OF giving Their
Sl75, but he was unsuccessful.
