ernor on House Bill %, which was re-
turned unsigned
Representative Currea defended his
bill and claimed that he Is not respon-
sible for the faultincss Of which the
Governor complained 1T was all right
as he drew II. he said, but the Senate
amended II and In SO doing created the
faults for which II was criticized by
the Governor. lie thought the Gov
ernor in the right IN refusing To sign
the bill In its muddlcd shape. and ask
ed the House to sustain the Govern
or's veto. There is plenty OF time yet,
he said, to bring another bill before
the legislature.
On the vote OF the House sustaining
the Governors veto, Correa at once
introduced another bill covering the
same points MS the irst, but designed
to remedy the defects of the original
measure. II passed first reading by III
tie and was made % special order Of
the day for THURSDAY.
II had been hintCd in the morning
that motion would be made In the
afternoon to reconsider the matter OF
the raise In the pay Of Supervisors and
that the increase would probably be
| knocked out. Rice Of Kauai did move
TO reconsider. but Kaleiopu raised such
a howl over IL that Rice was compell-
ed to withdraw his motion and let the
! grab stand.
An interesting three-cornered fight
developed over the matter of the sal
AIRY of the County Attorney OF Hawaii
| County. Nailina. who had attempted
| the day before to get II raised to $1,000,
| renewed the attempt. There was in-
| ternal strife In the camp OF the Rep
resentatives from Hawaii. Some OF
them supported the raise, while Others
opposed II strenuoUsly. Kalciopu chip
ped in and he, Nailima, Kahana and
| Alsau kept the air full of words for
about an hour Finally the House vut-
ed TO let the item stand as In the bill,
at $1,000 per year
| After the transaction of routine bus
mess. the House resolved itself into
Committee of the whole to resume
consideration of the County salary act.
$500. AUDITOR
Sheldon moved that the Auditor of
Kauai be given $500 instead of $500
as in the bill. Carried.
Nailima again made an effort to in
crease the salary Uf the County AttOr-
ney of Hawaii 10, $4,000.
HAWAIrS COUNTY ATTORNEY
Rawlins again spoke In opposition
to such extravaganza. He had travelled
around the Island of Hawaii as an at
torney, and he could not see how the
travelling expenses of the County At
torney could ever he enough to neces-
state any such raise.
! Nailima became vehement In sup
port of his pet grab. He harped again
on his old story about the County At
turney OF Oahu having no travelling to
do, while the County Attorney of ila-
wall does.
Rawlins asked the Hawaii Repre-
scntatlves a series of very embarrass-
ms questions. Among Others, he wan
ted TO know II IL Is not a fact that
the Supervisors Of the County of Ha-
wall have u fund out of which they
pay themselves mileage. Nailima adj
mitted II.
Then" said Rawlins, this Is my
position: II the Supervisors have n
fund out of which to pay their own
mileage, | contend that they can pay
The travelling expenses Of their COun-
ty Attorney out of the same fund"
GO TO SUPERVISORS
Akau thought that good idea. Let
the County Attorney of Hawaii go ia
the Supervisors for his travelling eX-
renses," he said. IL move the item
pass as I'm the bin"
The motion carried and Nailima
lost.
Sheldon moved TO amend the bill CIV
ing the Treasurer of the County of Ka'
uai $1,000 and make the figure $500
Carried.
When II came to the pay of Deputy
Sherifls, PaOo moved to give the Dep
uty Sheriff Of Eva $500 instead OF
$1,000. Carried.
Pail moved to raise the pay OF the
deputy sheriff of Lahaina from $3.50 to
$1,000 year. Carried.
Pail also moved to raise the pay OF
the deputy sheriff of Hama to Sl0S0 In.
stead of $500. He also wanted to give
the deputy of Makawao $1,000 instead
OF $3.50. Carried. The deputy sherih
of Molokai got $3.50 instead of 5000 on
motion of Nakaleka.
The pay OF supervisors became again
the bone of contention, when Rice
moved that the action of the House be
reconsidered
Kaleiopu objected that such a mo-
ton should come from one who voted
Tor the raise. Rice said the records
didn't show 1t. 1.-THE vote was only 4
standing yOte.)
Kaleiopu still objected but the
chairman put the motion. Rice with.
drew his motion and the figure remains
at $500.
Akau moved to reconsider the sal
airy item of the county clerk OF Ha-
wall, which was the day before fixed ar
5000 instead Of $1,000. Carried. He
moved TO make 1t $2l00.
Kaleiopu kicked.
Nailima also kicked.
Akau also wanted the figure to re-
main at S2i00, and Moanauli expressed
his overwhelming surprise that any
one should even think of such thing
