Inc on1y representative DoQy. Make
kau argued that the House had killed
the Senate liquor bill with seant cere
mony, taking the attitude of opposing
change in the law. "Yet.n h,
argued, ''they have gone ahead ant
knocked out the inspectors by reduc
ing the appropriation. 1t is not on u.
to change it. Let us pass it,
He was supported in this view of tn,
matter by Senator Harvey.
Senator Chillingworth said that the
idea of ian eye for an eye'' might be
a good one in the opinion of Makekau
but he did not see why the Senate
should legislate to revenge itself upor
the House.
Senator Woods understood from
Chillingworth' s remarks that he die
not think the House of Representative
leglslated for the people, but Chilling
worth disclaimed making any such OBJ
servation.
Senator Mccarthy defended the
liquor law, as passed by the Senate
and said that it did not interfere with
the inspectors. Mccarthy insisted that
the appropriation should pass al
$4,000, as recommended by the Gov.
ernor. Baker wanted it deferred until
the amount could be segregated among
the counties. 1t was deferred npon
Baker motion.
Tax Department.
The item of interest, commissions.
licenses and public debt was deferred.
For the bureau of taxes, first division,
$500 was passed for the salary of the
assessor. Robinson objected to the in
elusive appropriation of $4,000 for
deputies and clerks, taking the stand
that it should be segregated. The item
was deferred The sum of $4,000 was
passed for expenses.
For the second taxation district,
Maui, the Senate approved the $4,000
appropriation for the assessor and the
expenses of $500. The item of $4,000
for clerks and deputies was deferred
on the motion of Senator Robinson,
who took his usual stand that the
amount should be itemized. The fourth
district, Kauai, the salary of $175 was
son, the appropriation Of $4,000 for
clerks deferred, and the expense item
of $500 passed
All of the appropriations under the
head of Bureau of Conveyances were
deferred on the motion of Senator
Chillingworth.
No Industrial Education.
The Department of Public Instruc-
ton was next in the House appropria-
ton bill, and consideration of it show
ed that there was wide difference of
opinion among the members of the SEN
ate as to the necessities of that depart
ment.
Mccarthy expressed the opinion that
the Senate was liable to go astray when
it came to consider items that would
be affected by the proposed scheme of
responsibility and power
to the counties. Senator Smith did not
think that the counties were ready to
take over the schools from the Terri
tory.
Senator Kalama thought normal
inspector should receive at least 5000
a month if he was expected to pay his
own travelling expenses. The item was
finally passed at 5000 and 1920 for
expenses for the biennial period. Sen
ator Smith defended the school agents,
declaring that they were necessary.
The items finally passed were $4,000 for
the secretary, stenographer at $500,
and expenses $500, total of $4,000
The clerk at $4,000 was stricken out,
Senators Quinn and Moore taking the
lead in opposition to it.
Senators Smith and Coelho took the
lead for adequate provision being made
for industrial training. Senator Smith
wanted the amount asked for by the
Governor, $500, appropriated, but the
majority of the upper house believes
that industrial training is nothing more
than Efad,' and voted down Sena-
tor Smith IS motion. Coelho then moved
that some amount be inserted for in
dustrial training under the general
heading of school supplies, library and
lacemaking. The motion was lost, Sen
ators Mccarthy and Harvey being de-
termined in their opposition.
Teachers Salaries.
The appropriation of $4,000 for
teachers salaries was approved, Sena-
tor Fairchild stating that the amount
would increase the salaries to the
amounts that prevailed before the B
per cent. cut and in addition would
allow for forty-seven additional teach
ers.
Under the heading of special schools
the Senate approved $4,000 for the
maintenance of Lahainaluna, $3240 for
the superintendent of the Boys Indus
trial, $4,000 for guards and $4,000 for
maintenance. For the Girls Industrial
$1,000 was approved; $500 for guards
and $500 for maintenance.
The item under the heading of the
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts was deferred, Senator Fairchild
again referring to the letter received
from Governor Frear stating that if an
increase was made in the appropriation
for the Attorney General s Department
the College of Agriculture could be
brought partially under the provisions
of the fund to be created by the
special income tax.
When the Public Works Department
was reached, Senator Fairchild said
that in view of the proposed consolida-
ton of the departments under one head
he suggested that all the department
