salary should be decent one.
Moanauli disagreed. He thought the
House should consider the man first and
the office afterwards. If the man is
incompetent the appropriation should

Importance of the work. This work

to be paid, especially as the Archives
were to become revenue producing

The meat in Kaleiopu's chestnut was
shown when a number of questions rela-
to Translator John Wise and fear that
he would lose his job or have his salary
cut were asked.
The Secretary explained that the
item of $2160 for expenses provided
SIS month for Wise and 1860 for
other expenses.
Kaleiopu wanted to know first if

next if Mr.. Lydecker could talk Ha-

that he could not.

moved that it be put at $50. Kaniho
said that he had called at the Archives
and that if he was not mistaken the
Arehivist did nothing but sit in chair
and let John Wise do all the work. He
thought 500 a month enough for the
pay of any man who only had to look
at the books and dust them occasionally.
He favored firing Lydecker and putting
