Liquor Inspectors
senator Mccarthy moved that the
House appropriation ~ $4,000 be raised
30 the sl7 600 asked by the Governor
lie said that provision should be made
for inspectors and that the work could
not be transferred TO the deputy sher
IFS. Robinson said that he would op.
pose the appropriation until a county
division of the money was made so IL
would be known just what the distri.
button would be-
Senator Smith insisted that there
was no ground for the belief that the
work Of the liquor inspectors could be
transferred To the deputy sheriffs. He
said that one of the regulations
stopped police officers from entering
saloons, efTeetually preventing them
acting as police officers.
Makekau said that the House of
Representatives had listened to an in
suit of the Senate at a "luau. at Ha.
leiwa,' and that they claimed to be
the only representative body Make
kau argued that the House had killed
che Senate liquor bill with scant cere-
mony, taking the attitude of opposing
change in the law. yet" he
argued, ''they have gone ahead and
knocked out the inspectors by reduc-
ing the appropriation. 1t is not on us
to change it. Let us pass it"
He was supported in this view Of the
matter by Senator Harvey.
Senator Chillingworth said that the
idea of "an 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 upon
the House.
Senator Woods understood from
Chillingworth IS remarks that he did
not think the House of Representatives
legislated 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 at
$17,O 900, as recommended by the Gov
ernor. Baker wanted it deferred until
the amount could be segregated among
the counties. 1t was deferred upon
Bakers motion.
Tax Department.
The item of interest, commissions,
licenses and public debt was deferred.
For the bureau of taxes, first division,
$4,000 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 $4S00
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
raised to 5000 on the motion of Robin
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-
tion was next in the House appropria-
tion bill, and consideration of it show
ed that there was "A wide difference of
opinion among the members of the Sem
ate as to the necessities of that depart
ment.
Mccarthy expressed the opinion that
he Senate was liable to 90 astray when
it came to consider items that would
be affected by the proposed scheme of
transferring 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
month if he was expected to pay his
own travelling expenses. The item was
finally passed at 5000 and $1,000 for
expenses for the biennial period. Sen
ator Smith defended the school agents
declaring that they were necessary
