ing before a magistrate.
The veto was sustained on ~rollcall
by a vote of j to l..
RAWLINS AROUSED.
The Medical bill came back from the
Senate but its own father wouldn I
own 1t. Rawlins had introduced it but
moved that the House give him a uuani-
nous support in refusing to concur in
the amendments.
THAT bill passed in this House early
In March Snd was sent to the Senate.
Here 1t got thirty straight votes. l
wonder what the Senate thinks the in
telllgence of this House is, when they
send back a bill with fifteen sections
cut out when the bill only had sixteen
sections and then try to softsoap the
House by amending something that
never was in the bill. Here they have
held that bill for forty-two days. They
killed it once, then brought it to life
and send it back in this shape on the
last day of the session.
"Rather than see the bill pass as
it is l would see it killed. The bill
left the House with thirty straight
votes behind it and 1 ask for those
thirty straight votes to refuse to concur
in the amendments"
Rawlin's motion carried and a con-
ference committee was named.
COUNTY POUNDS ESTABLISHED.
The veto of the bill establishing
county pounds was overridden by a
vote of 27 to l anl it is up to the
Governor to sign the bill a~bolishing
Territorial pounds or leave the country
VITA two sets of pounds in existence.
COUNTY REVENUE VETO.
Rice spoke on the veto of the first
bill dividing licenses and police court
fines between the Territory and the
counties, favoring sustaining the Gov
ernor. If the bill were made law as it
was it would be a blot on the work
of the session as the provisions of the
bill were indefinite and confusing. He
could not support the bill even at the
risk of a pocket veto of the ~remedying
bill.
Kaniho objected and wanted to over
ride roUghshod so that the counties
could get their money. He was Just
launching into a TRADE against vetoes
in general when the sergeant-at-arms
butted in with his megaphone to an
nouEce the arrival of another veto.
The veto of the license and fine bill
was sustained.
LAND COMMISSION.
The Senate joint resolution, calling
for the appointment of a Land Commits
sion was carried through third read
ing, the Democratic-Home Rulers OPP
posing.
TWO CLAIMS DISALLONED.
The message from the Governor was
to the effect that he could not allow
the claims of r. Maka, for $1,000, and
of F. r. Lucweiko, for $500, in Sen
ate Bill 103, Unpaid Claims bill. Both
items were styled excessive and out
of true proportion even if allowable at
all. These two items went in the SEN
ate bill on recommendation of the
House Miscellany committee and repre-
sented the principal work of that com
mittee during the session.
Kaleiopu said the Senate has over
ridden the veto in the f. r. Lucweiko
item and sustained it in regard to R.
Maka. He thought the Senate had
treated the House unfairly in this and
moved therefore that the House sus-
tain the veto in regard to Lucweiko and
override it in regard to Maka.
Sheldon said that two wrongs never
made a right and asked that both items
be carried over the veto.
Kaniho moved to sustain the veto on
DOth items.
On a veto the Maka veto was sus-
tanned and the Lucweiko item carried
over the veto.
Afternoon Session.
After kicking back and forth from
Senate to House and House to Senate
seeking for someone to father it, the
resolution to increase the seasonal In
of members to $1,000 a session
was presented yesterday in the House,
coming down as Senate Concurrent
Resolution 9. This calls for a ninety
day session, a mileage fee of ten cents
a mile for members, and no cOmpensa-
ton for any extra session. This had
unanimously in the Senate.
"Who will move the adoption of the
,esolution?" asked the Speaker.
Rice dared it. He said that there
we're no hOldover members of the
House to benefit by the change and
ne moved that the Senate resolution
