Waiwaiole made his maiden speech
on this bill. He thought it wrong to
leave unconsidered the interests Of the
large landowners, who at the present
time were at the mercy of whoever
wanted to injure their property in the
growing forest. He would support Raw

full of such laws He wished to nip
the bill in the bud and said SO in most
emphatic words and gestures, directed
principally at Rawlins.
Rawlin Is motion was lost on a close
vote and the bill was indefinitely post
poned.

in both the House and Senate and was
intended for good object, the pre-
serving of the health of the district
of North Kohala. He appealed to the
House to support his motion and fulfil
their duty toward the public. The gov

and should also support the hospital
established in the bill
Regarding the poorhouse feature of
the bill, he thought that one of its best
features. The rich do not have to be
looked after, the poor do.

Rawlins and Castro supporting the
Governor.
