Calls IL Defective.
Senator Makekau supported the mo.
ton of Senator Baker to kill the bill.
He said that he was in favor of the
sheriff IS being granted the power to
appoint their deputies, but he saw a
number of defects in the bill which
he was confident would initiate against
its enforcement. He declared that
there would be an unavoidable conflict
between the sheriffs and their deputies
at the expiration of the present term.
Makekau said that he was prepared to
introduce another bill that would meet
the objections he believed to obtain
against House Bill No. 80.
Senator Robinson moved to defer the
bill. until Friday but withdraw his mo-
ton so Senator Smith could express his
views on the subject.
Smith Supports 1t.
Senator Smith declared that there
was a plainly marked tendency on the
part of the people TO place the APP
pointive power of subordinates in the
hands of principles responsible for their
actions. He declared that an elected
subordinate may be entirely out of
sympthay with the policy of his SUI
perior and yet the superior-in this
case the sheriff-would be officially re-
sponsible for his subordinate IS acts.
"The passage of this bill will be
step in advance" he said. From
personal experience l am convinced
that it is essential for the proper en-
forcement of the law that the deputy
sheriffs be appointd by the sheriff, and
not elected by the people.
Senator MsCarthy also supported the
bill, and his amendment to strike out
the provision for approval of the dep
uty sheriff appointees was carried on
the second Of Quinn.
"It is a great mistake to have the
deputy sheriffs elected" said McCar-
thy. ''The sheriff is responsible for
the deputy sheriffs and he should GER.
tainly have the sole privilege Of nam
ing his assistants.
