FIVE TO OPPOSE
ABATEMENT BILL

Opposition enough to Senate Bill
10, the abatement by injunction
measure, had developed up to the be-
ginning of the session this afternoon,
according to those closely in touch
with affairs, to register no less than
five votes against it.
Senator r. H. Makekau. who yester-
day opposed the bill as one not needed
in outside districts, was expected to
lead fight today along the same
lines, and predictions were that he
would be backed by Senator Kama
uoha of his own island, and by Senator
Mikaele of Kauai, who seconded all
OF Makekau's motions over it yester-
day. :~ - .,...s1.. r:
Senators Coney and Robinson OF
Kauai and Maui, respectively, also de-
clared themselves against the meas
ure this morning, not on the grounds
that Makekau has raised, but because
of the power it gives one individual
over another. 1913. 49,

objects to the bill as not allowing right

SEEK TO DELETE
CONTINGENT FUND

What is undeniably the biggest oil
all sensations that have stirred the
hoElse OF representatives since the
opening OF the session came this
morning when Speaker H. L. Holstein
took the floor and introduced a resolI'
ton fnstructing the finance committee
20 delete from the appropriation bill
the item Of $4,000 asked by Gov
Pinkham for his contingent fund.
Had b0mbshell exploded in the
midst Of the house, the members
could not have exhibited greater sur,
prise than that caused by the intro,
duction of the resolution. And the
fact that Speaker HoIstein himself
took the floor to father the measure,
which was drawn up last night, ere,
ated even more surprise.
The resolution Is as follows:
Resolved, that the committee on
finance, be instructed to delete from
the appropriation bill that 1t is now
considering the sum of money which
is known as the contingent fund to be
expended by the governor; and,
further. that It Is the sense Of this
house that the amount appropriated
inst SCBbtOu dc "a Was
unwisely and injudiciously spent"
holsteln Leads Attack
The introduction of the resolution
today bears out prediction made by
the Star.Bulletin shortly after the leg.
islature convened that the governors
contingent fund would be made the
object of an attack sometime during
the session, but ii was not certain at
that time from what source the attack
would be directed. At that time Speak
- Aolstein expressed the opinion that
the house should take steps to find
out whether the money expended from
the governors contingent fund had
been let 90 wisely and judiciously, and
without show of favoritism.
II want the contingent fund cut
out, declared Speaker Holstein this
morning. in my opinion 1t is not
necessary. II is an iniudicious method
OF spending money"
Harbor Board and Utilities
Another resolution, fathered by
Representative Tavares, relates to the
farbOr board and the public utilities
commission. II brings up C. r.
Forbes first trip to Washington, the
payment Of $40 to members OF the
utilities commission every time they
meet, aud the Supported immense
overhead charges that are incurred on
pubic iuI3royemeft projects. This
reeolutioh Sc rs follows: 4
Resolved, that the board of harbor
commissioners and the public utilities
commission be instructed by the clerk
tofforVart To, the house Of representa-
tines segregated itemized statements
of then expenditures from November,
1916, 70 April 1916
Il want to have the house find out
how many meetings have been held
by the public utilities commission,
What has been done at these meetings
nd Nlle II We paid each menu
Der 4 worth The meeting, = says
Speaker h0stein.
Overhead Charges Termed Burden
The taxpayers OF this territory are
being overloaded with overhead
charges. The legislature meets and
passes certain laws for congress to
approve. We have q delegate in
washington who acts accordingly and
who Is the representative of the
people. A government officer goes
there, not as a representative Of the
Legislature, but to interfere with the
work Of the delegate.
