wished to make $780, 1t had beer
placed at $4,000 and the cut was al
lowed.
Nailima and Rawlins resumed theil
debate over the county attorneyshir
Of Hawaii, which the Hawaii rep
resentative wanted to pay for at the
rate of $4,000 a year. He objected to
the Oahu member chipping in on Ha-
Wali measure anyway. He knew what
Hawaii needed and wanted more than
RaWlins did and asked that his amend
ment making the pay a proper one
be passed.
Rawlins put Nailima on the witness
stand and shot a score of questions re-
garding travelling fees and Supervisors
salaries for Hawaii. Rawlins stated
that if the Supervisors paid mileage to
| themselves they could also pay it to the
County Attorney and not put it in his
! salary.
Akau agreed with Rawlinz.
The item stood at $1,000.
Sheldon asked for consideration of
the county clerk of Ka4afs salary,
which was passed at $500
Sheldon moved to make the pay of
the Kauai treasurer $500, which pass
| ed.
| The pay of the Eva deputy sheriff
was made $500, but the other deputies
of Oahu and Hawaii were left un-
| touched.
| For Maui, Pail boosted the deputies
for Lahaina and Hama, while Naka-
| lika got 1920 for the Molokai deputy.
SUPERVISORS RAISE STANDS.
Rice asked for a reconsideration Of
the Supervisors salary, to put it back
to $500. Kaleiopu objected to the mo-
ton, Rice having voted previously in
the minority, whereupon Rice with
drew his motion.
Akau asked that the pay of the coun-
ty clerk of Hawaii be put back to s21G0,
something vigorously opposed by Mai
lima. He had had experience in the
office and knew the arduous duties to
be done.
Moanauli expressed his surprise at the
ffckleness of the House, discussing
something they had settled the day
before. The question should be set
tied by the office, not by the officehold-
er, be he white or black. To change
the figure now would be a childish act.
In reference to the Hawaii member
who wanted the cut the speaker made
a reference to the betrayal of Christ
by Judas.
Pail rose and a motion to adjourn
was looked for, but general surprise
was felt when he began to make a
speech, Directing to any member drag
ging Maui into this question.
Kahana, of Hawaii, favored cutting
the pay to $210O.
Kaleiopu and Nailima then fought it
ought much of their debate being
flung back and forth in Hawaiian too
fast for the interpreter. Both mem
bers bristled up and looked fierce, While
the chair had to make the Home Ruler
sit down and allow Kaleiopu to finish.
Kaleiopu's argument was that so long
as the Hawaii representatives could not
agree they should not be surprised at
the other members getting into the
fight.
The matter finally got to show OF
hands, after an hours debate, and was
put back to $21O0.
Kahana asked for a reconsideration
of the salary of the auditor of Hawaii,
which had been placed al $500. The
request was turned down.
