APPROPRIATION BILL NOW
IN THE COMMITTEES HANDS

Office of Adiutant General showed at
once that it is going to be hard work
for the Senate and the House to reach
compromise upon any question in
which there is a decided difference of
opinion. In the appropriation bill as
it was passed by the House, the salary
attached to the office of Adjutant Gen
eral was 5000 a month, in place of the
1925 recommended in the estimate sub
mitted by the Governor. The Senate
Endorsed the figure recommended by the
Governor. When the bill was taken up
in the conference committee, the House
majority were insistent that 5000 was
the proper salary for the head of the
militia department. It was passed at
that amount, but with the advocates
of 1925 disconnected and uneasy.
Another question is whether the
minority is bound by the action of the
Notwithstanding a majority vote ap
pear as the unanimous opinion of the
committee. Senator Chillingworth
brought the issue up yesterday after
noon and there seemed to be a decided
difference Of opinion as to whether the
minority should fall into line with the
majority or have its dissenting opin-
ions go on record.

The members of the joint conference
committee on the appropriation bill are
discovering that the problem of terri
torial finance is a bit complicated. They
have made the same discovery in re-
gard to the rules of parliamentary pro-
cedure as applied to joint conference
committees in general and the one on
the appropriation bill in particular.
Representative Joel Cohen is the
chairman of the committee and he is
doing his best to smooth out the OBJ
staeles that seem to confront the COM
mittee in its attempt to reach an agree
ment on the provisions of the appro-
priation bin.
The differences between the Senate
and the House on the methods of max
ing the territorial expenditures come
within hailing distance of the revenues
are very pronounced-so pronounced
that il viii require all the diplomatic
talents of Chairman Cohen to guide the
conferees away from the shoals of fruit
less discussion and dispute.
The joint conference committee be-
gan its work Monday and consideration
of the salary appropriation for the new

The whole question of the legality
Of the use of the Hawaiian language
in the Legislature, SO far as the use
of Federal money to pay for it is con-
cerned. is to be referred to Washing
ton and the decision of the Comptroller
of the Treasury accepted as final.
This was decided upon yesterday in
the course of the passing on the vouch-
er presented from the House against
the Federal appropriation to pay Phi
anaia for translating the House Journal
into Hawaiian, the Speaker, Represen-
tative Castro and Secretary Mott-Smith
having dehberated over the question
after Piianaia S voucher had been held
up and payment refused. In the mean
while the translator will be paid out
of Territorial money.
This was broughC to head yester-
day, when Secretary Mott-Smith wrote
the following communication to Repre-
sentative Castro:
. Your note of the Goth instant, with
copy of letter of the 10th instant adj
dressed by Ell. L. H.olstein to yourself,
in regard to the duties of Mr.. A. st.
G. Piianaia as Assistant journal Clerk,
has been received.
Until ] have had opportunity of
referring this matter to the Comptroller
of the Treasury for his opinion, the
course suggested by Mr.. Holstein would
appear to be the better one to follow
that is, that Mr.. Piianaia be appointed
Hawaiian translator, and his salary
charged against the Territorial and not
to the Federal appropriation for legis-
lative expenses.
II shall also take the opportunity of
asking the opinion of the Comptroller
on the general question, whether cost
of translation and printing in the Ha-
waiian language may be charged to the
Federal appropriation on the broad
ground that the words, Legislative
Proceedings, as used in the Organic
Act are confined III their meaning to
the actual proceedings on the floor, the
presentation, reading and passage of
motions, resolutions, bills and the like
and do not include translation and
printing in the Hawaiian language
which is ordinarily done for the con-
venience of Legislators in preparation
for Legislative Proceedings.

TOO MANY COOKS
SPOIL THE BROTH
WaIahole Bridge Matter Has
Become a JumbIed
Mess.

That too many cooks spoil the broth
seems applicable to the present Board
of Supervisors with reference to the
bungling of repair work on the Waia-
hole bridge, which was partially de-
stroyed in the freshets of March. No
body seems to know how much. the
remainder of the job will cost, nor
how long it will take, nor how much
cement it will require to make the
bridge safe. The Waiahole bridge has
become the DOGGY of the board, and IN
the middle Road Overseer Paele of

distressing state of affairs at the Wal

giving his ideas as to the further cost
of repairs. Supervisor Quinn made
contra-sta tement, denying the truth of
some of the Mayors information The
Mayor thought the cost would be some
thing like $4,000; Quinn thought 1t
would be a few hundreds, and En-
gineer Gere added other figures
The whole Waiahole incident has
been the cause of more recrimination
among the board members than any
other job, and it will crop up again
unless all signs fail.
The Mayor stated that when he Wis
tied the bridge yesterday a mechanic
from; Honolulu was patching up the
old engine and pump which is making
an effort to suck the coffer-dam dry of
water SO that the cement work can be
done The engine Is apparently on its
last legs. The Mayor thought the work

weeks, if then. The bridge has been
costing all kinds of money thus far,
and he thought it would cost thou
sands to make complete. There are
sother bridges to be fixed and repair

such work should be done out of the
districts appropriation. but special APP
preparations should be made from the

A Special Levy of a
Quarter of One Per
Cent in Place of.
Bonding.


There viii be more tax burdens for
the people of the Territory if the bill
that was passed yesterday by the Sem
ate meets with the approval Of the
House of Representatives and the Gov
erner. Senate Bill 139 is the official
title of the measure, and it provides
that the Board of Supervisors of all
the counties Of the Territory can, with
the approval of the Governor, levy an
additional tax of not more than one
quarter of one per cent upon property
now subject to the regular tax rate Of
one per cent.
Senator Fairchild took the lead in
urging the passage of the bill yester-
day and Senator w. O. Smith reiterat-
ed his objections to the increase of
the tax burden at the discretion of the
Boards of Supervisors. He urged that
it was contrary to the principles of
American government, and that the
development of the Territory had not
reached point when measures of tax
alton could be left to the Judgment
of few men. He argued that the inn
position of further tax business was
something which the Territory should
try to avoid.
Senator Fairchild took the stand that
the provisions of the bill were amply
safeguarded from abuse, and that the
stipulation which made the approval of
the Governor necessary before the spe-
cial tax could be levied, was sufficient
guarantee that it would not be sub
.ject 20 Being levied without good cause.
The bin as passed by the Senate regu-
1ates the disposition of the money that
is secured through the levying of the
special county tax. The funds can on
" go for the construction of new school
houses, hospitals, courthouses, jails or
other necessary buildings and for the
purchase or construction of such water
and sewer systems as shall have been
approved by the Governor
The Senate majority has gone on rec
ord as believing that residents of Ha-
wall are not better qualified to adj
minister the offices of Government in
the Territory than some hungry con-
stituent of United States Senaoor By
a vote of eight to seven the Senate yes
terday- voted against the passage of
the resolution drawn to respectfully
show that the sentiment of the people
of Hawaii was in favor of being gov
erned by residents of these islands.
In moving for the adoption of the
resolution Chairman ,Knudsen of the
Senate Committee on Judiciary stated
that the resolutin covered the subject
in satisfactory manner and that the
committee recommended its passage.

SENDS JAMES MAKEE OUT

Rumor had it last night that a yes
sci had been wrecked on the coast
of Molokai, and although the story
could not be traced to a definite source,
Captain Miller dispatched the little
steamer James Makee, Captain Meal
lister, on hurry-up run to the island
last night on the chance that the
tale might be true. The American
ship Dirigo, bound from Delaware
Breakwater for Honolulu, is now LII
days out, and may have gone ashore
on the Molokai rocks.

he had secured his information from
some of the customs officials. but IN

Yesterday was day of dreary rou-
