old CHAIRMEN
OF Committees
Holstsin Speaks Favor.
ably to Reappointment
OF Them


ing committees OF the House of Rep
resentatives at. the session which be
gins next Wednesday will be, with
one or two exceptions, the same as
last session.. A statement which may
be interpreted, to this effect was made
Saturday by Chairman Holstein
Just after his arrival. from Hawaii TO
take up the labors OF the next sixty
days.
Mr.. Holstein was a little reticent
as regards names, stating that he
would not name his committees until
after the Republican caucuses of next
Tuesday. But he said, II think that
a man who was chairman of a COM
mittee at the last session and who
has been returned by his constitu-
ents may reasonably expect to be APP
pointed chairman of the same com
mittee this session, II he wants the
chairmanship."
| There will necessarily be some
changes. as not all OF the old com
mittee chairmen will be in the House
this year. W. t. Rawlins, formerly
chairman OF the Judiciary Committee,
viii not occupy his old seat. Eddie
Douthitt will probably be chairman
OF the Judiciary Committee, and the
other members, OF course. will be
lawyers, as II is this committee which
has to subject the bills Introduced to
scrutiny as to whether or not. IL
passed. they would hold good in the
courts.
II. A. C. Long will be In the House
and will probably be chairman of the
Educational Committee, In which po-
sition he did exceptionally good work
last session.
Castro last session was a member
of the Committee on Agriculture.
However, II is understood that he
wants and expects a Craftsmanship
this year. that of the Committee on
Public Accounts and Expenditures.
Mr.. Holstein when asked In regard ia
this said. well, Castro is a good man
and II he wants the chairmanship 81
that committee, guess he can have
It," -. '''' :"
For the chairmanship Of the I'M,
, portant Finance Committee, c. A
Rice is the logical candidate to su,
coed himself, though II is understood
that this is a plum which several 9th
er members would not object to hav'
shaken into their hats. Representa-
. tive Single Is frequently mentione,
In this connection.
A. S. Kalelopu was chairman las
session of the Committee on Publ
Lands and Internal improvements. A

may expect to occupy the same posi-
ton again. q.

c!des otherwise, will be again chair
man of the Health and Police Con
mittee. Pail not being returned. tn
