LEGISLATURE LOSES NO
TIME GETTING TO
WORK ON LAND LAWS
Organizes in Record Time--.Senate Receives
Bunch Of Extroneous Bills From Coelho
.--Want $1,000 Pay.
tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser,

so as to avoid any accusations of bad
faith and any recriminations. Conse-
quently, the house. members will have
full opportunity, in committee of the
whole, to rid themselves of any re-
marks they may have prepared.
How to Avoid Graft
If grating on the part of the mem
bers of the Legislature is to be obviat-
ed, the only way to do it is to pay
them at least $1,000 a session, accord
ing to the only deductions that may
be made from speech made yesterday
afternoon by Representative Nawahine.
Nawahine was quite frank about the
matter; he didn't make any bones of
it; the members, he said, needed the
money and had to have it someway.
They couldn't afford to serve the Ter.
ritory as lawmakers for the paltry sum
of $4O0 session, with 5000 extra for
special sessions and nothing for extra
sessions. They must live, and they
couldn't live on that pay. An increase
to 5000 session, even, as contemplated
in the administration bill, would not
be enough to insure against grating;
congress ought to authorize the pay
ment of not less that $1,000 a session to
insure the honesty of the members.
Holstein Bushes.
Nawahine did not put his speech in
exactly those words, but that was the
meaning of what he said, and the other
members of the house who understood
either sat back in their chairs and
gasped in astonishment, or laughed
with evident embarrassment. The
speaker was distinctly observed to
blush like a young girl kissed for the
first time.
Representative Sheldon. of Kauai,
was more modest in his demands. He
thought tha5 $1,000 n session would be
enough to insure against grating and
moved to amend that administration
bill to make the figure the round
thousand.
Aside from few little breaks like
that, however, the house made record
yesterday that promises the speedy con-
clusion of the work for which the legis-
lature was called together. 1t organ
lied in record time, and before the
noon recess was taken, most of the i'm.
portant measures that are liable tC
come before it-at least, those eman
ating from the house members-had
been introduced. These included the
governor delegate bill, introduced by
Rice, and a joint resolution oby Castro
providing for commission to examine
and investigate into the possibilities
of assisting homesteaders by lending
them government funds at low rate
of interest for the Development of their
homesteads.
AS result of the Lloyd trouble at
the regular session, the house, like the
senate, will dispense with the services
of an interpreter, the work formerly
done by that officer to be performed by
the clerk.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1909-11-05
THE HOUSE.

Had Representative Charles Rice of
Kauai followed up his advantage yes
terday morning and forced vote on
the concurrent resolution introduced by
him, the work of the special session,
80 far as the house is concerned, might
have come to an end then and there,
mt least, so far as the business for
which the legislators were specially con-
yened is concerned. But Rice was gem
erous and did not push his advantage.
BY not calling TOR vote at that time
on the concurrent resolution, he left
the way open for oratory, discussion and
amendment
After the house had been organized
and, after waiting on the senate for
the organization of that body, had got
down to business, Rice introduced a
concurrent resolution as follows:
"Be 1t Resolved by the House of Rep
resentatives of the Territory of Ha-
waii, the Senate concurring:
"That in order to meet pressing
needs and make possible a more rapid
development of the Territory along
American lines, the congress of the
United States is hereby requested to
amend the Organic Act of the Territory
entitled, AN Act to provide a gov
ernment for the Territory of Hawai-,
in the manner and form set forth in
the following bill which the delegate
to congress from the Territory of Ha-
:, -. ,,,4~
and urge in congress;
"And Be 1t Further Resolved, That
a certified copy of this resolution be
sent to the President of the United
States, the president of the senate, the
speaker of the house of representatives
and the delegate to congress from the
Territory of Hawaii" "
Accompanying the resolution was the
administration or conference bill. Most
of the members of the house apparent
ly failed to appreciate the significance
of the resolution, and had Rice moved
for its adoption, there seems little
doubt but that it would have gone
through without discussion. The reso
luton being concurrent, required but
one reading. Its adoption would have
meant that that house recommended to
congress the passage of the conference
bill for the amendment of the Organic
Act.
Members Gasp.
A few members of the house recog-
nized the significance of the resolution
as was evidenced by their astonished
gasps. But it happened that they were
all members who are in favor of the
administration bill, so, had Rice called
for a vote on his concurrent resolution
it would probably have passed without
opposition. But he didn t. He ap
parently thought it would be wiser tc
leave the matter open for discussion
