paw of legislators $1,000 in place of 5000
as in the bill. He made an apparently
eloquent speech in Hawaiian. in the
usual Sheldon manner. which. however.
was lost to those who understood ONLY
English--supposedly but only sup
posedly, the official language of Ha-
waii.
The interpreter, however, gave an
abstract of it, saying the gentleman
from Kauai felt no shame in asking
$1,000. He had proposed the same
amendment at the regular session and
il had raised the devil in the house.
but the gentleman from Kauai was still
unashamed.
Nawahine delivered himself of few
remarks, apropos of nothing in partie-
ular However, he was convinced that
the legislative body is the supreme
body; the judicial body could not exist
without the legislative body to make
laws for it to handle, and vet the
judges are getting bigger pay than the
legislators. Now. if the pay of iecis-
lators were raised to what it should
be. it would not be necessary for the
s0l0ns to resort to graft to make a
living. But the pay of legislators is
now so small as to encourage grating.
Besides, member Of the legislature
can not hold another territorial lob.
and so he can not make more than $500
in two years. Nawahine stuck ont for
$1,000; he thought he was worth it.
$500 Enough
Castro eontended that the Govern
or's conference in fixing the figure at
$500 took into consideration the com
pensation received by legislators on
the mainland. "WouId it be proper to
ask congress to increase our pay he-
yond that received by legislators en-
the mainland? I say no. -
Castro read some figures. showing
that the members of the territorial leg
islature, if they get 5000, will be re-
ceiving as much as most mainland leg
islators. If they asked for more than
5000, they were liable to get no in
crease. at all. In, the legislature of
1907 a resolution was introduced to
ask congress to raise the pay of legis-
lators to $1,000, but it failed to pass,
because the house considered that con-
gress might think it a piece of audaci-
ty for the legislature to ask more pay
than the Legislators of mainland
States.
