announced that the committee refused
to honor vouchers for the imaginary
extra services of the House officers and
recommended that the resolution ask.
ing for the extra pay be tabled. 1t
was tabled.
Deer Bill Veto.
Three hours before the session must
close, the consideration of the veto
of the Deer Bill, ft-deferred, was
taken up, on motion of Furtado.
Coney said it was not proven as yet
that the deer harmed the forests. Such
was not the experience elsewhere. Wild
pigs were harmful and goats likewise,
but no accommodation comes from the
Governor to destroy them. AT any
rate the open season gave plenty Of
time TO destroy the deer. He moved
that the veto be not sustained.
Alfonso said the time had come to
add Hawaii to the forty-eight other
states and territories which protect
deer. He remarked that Columbus dis.
covered America by mistake and ad.
vanced that as reason for overriding
the veto.
Kawewehi was surprised at Alfonso.
He looked surprised about something,
having just missed bushel basket he
had stored several things in from off
his desk. He concluded by announcing
that he was one wise man who would
change his opinion and would support
the motion to override.
Nawahine asked Cohen if a deer
could do tricks and was told by the
| Speaker-in a hoarse Hawaiian whis-
per not to make chump of himself
before all the strangers in the gallery.
After considerable jockeying over
| the vote the veto was overridden on
vote of 90 to 10.
Thanks for the Speaker.
At 9:40 the complimentary portion
of the last days business was reached.
Kaniho, who wore an American Beauty
in his button hole, presented the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
House are presented to Honorable II.
l.. Holstein, Speaker, for the able, i'm.
partial and dignified manner in which
he has presided over its deliberations
and performed the arduous and import
ant duties of the chair, during the
present Legislature of the Territory
of Hawaii. -
He moved the adoption of the reso'
luton in a speech of appreciation of
| the work of the Sneaker
Kawewehi seconded the resolution
stating rather sadly that the House had
been run very economically.
The resolution was adopted unan'
imously.
Douthitt, in a speech eulogistic OF
the Speaker and of the House, present
ed on behalf of the members to the
Speaker handsome silver cigarette
case and match box, on which the Ha
waiian coat-ofarms was chased.
Douthitt credited the Speaker with
much of the credit for the efficiency
and economy of the work done during
the session. In making the presenta
ton, he did so, he said, with the hope
that all would meet again on the fool
of the House.
NaWanlne 3 LdSt ALpeInpI.
Nawahine asked for reconsidera
ton of the vote on his manuahi reso
luton to pay extra to the House of
hcers.
Coney said the House had no RICH
to make presents with the people 7
money. He believed the press would
comment most adversely on any sucl
an action, justly so. If the pember
wanted to pay the officers extra, le
them dig down in their pockets ant
not give the peoples money away.
Nawahine talked again and Kanih'
seconded the motion to resurrect thu
resolution. Kawewehi and others talk
ed half hour on this question, Castr
concluding the debate by stating tina
the House was not able nor willing b
make donations to anybody.
