SENATE
(Continued from Pace t)
providing for n loan fund for Inter
nnl Improvements, this morning
rame forward its tile father ot an
Administration measure embodying
many of tlio provisions of the sub
stitute 1)111 recommended by tlio ma
jority of tha Ways nnd Means Com
mitter.
Tlio discussion of tlio 111 1 In ques
tion brought forth no little opposl-
tlon from thoecwho opposo the grn-
eial Idea of County -taxation ind
Bomo of the arguments were decided
ly heated. Coclho started the 'jail
rolling by making u motion that tlio
minority report bo ndopted. l'nlr-
chlld moed tlio adoption of I ho nu
Jorlty report. Tho motions nrtiycd
the signal fur n general discussion,
President Smith turning over tho
Chair and defending to tha floor.
Charges Selfithncss
Senator Smith Insisted that Son a
tor Falrchlld's plan for having tlio
. M..w.,. , ..... .V ,, .11-
different Counties of tho Territory
jenr tho cost of their own lutcninl
Impiovcnicnts was selfish and nn-
fair, Sjld ho:
"Kuual. Is n small County nnd, In
in oportion to its size, Is thickly pup
dialed, nn compared with other lul
uids. Such rt plan would work well
In that case. Hut I call tho nttnn-
Ion ot the Sonator from Kmiii.1 to tho
fact that Hawaii, with Its great ex
imnpo of territory, and Its compara
tively small population, Is In n dlt-
'eicnt position,
"Kauai can nfToid In bear tha ex
'icuse of her own Internal Improve-
nents; Hawaii, with her great dti-
nnces, and tho many roads which
need maintaining, cannot. 1 repeat,
inch a stnnd jis'thut taken by tha
jenntor from KnuAI can only bo con-
Idcred kolflsh."
Jairchild Objects
I'nlrchlld objected to tho chnrgo
if selllshncss, Btntlug that his taxcK
n tho Island of Kauai aro but small,
Alille those that ho pays on Oahu
mil Maul nro far from It. Smith
mid that ho did not refer to person
ll Eolllshncss In connection with tho
3cnntor from Kauai, and was only
(peaking Impersonally.
Then a general discussion was In
lulgcd In, various Senators express
ing themselves. Mooro said he want-
id to go nn record as opposing any
plan to bond tho Territory for tho
linking of internnl Improvement
ilo believed that tho wator systems
ind so forth should bo turned over
o tho Counties and that tho Conn
ies should then rnlso tho monoy
needed, on tha security of surh
works, to mako tho necessary Im
provements.
Ills plan was characterized as Im
practical and tho question was raised
is to tho authority of any .County to
'also money on nny ot tho public
utilities, should they bo turned over.
dministration Plan
Tho Idea advanced by Senator I'alr
'hlld and approved by the Admlnts
tratlon Is that tho Territory shall
irocuro tho money needed for Couti
ty Internal Improvements by a loan
run or otherwise, and turn It over
o tho Count les. Tho Counties are
hen to innl.o tlio necessary Improv
nents and the money will bo thnrg
i to their accounts.
Tho tnx of ono-quartcr of 1 per
cnt., which Is authorized In the sub
,tltuto bill submitted by tho major
Ity of tho Ways and Means Commit
'cc, and as Is nlso provided for In tho
Jill which Sonator Coclho Introduced
this morning, shall bo used to cstnb
'Ish n sinking fund for tho repay
ment of tto money. In other words,
iho money ndvnncod by the Territory
to any County for Internal lmiirot
nents, Is to bo considered only In tho
light of n loan, and It will dcvolvo
Ipon tho County getting tha money
'o make arrangements for IIh repay
ucnt. Tho debt mny run on for jeniB, or,

In case the next session of tho Leg
islature shnll conclude to turn all
power Of taxation over to tho Coun
ties, under certain restrictions, tho
accounts will bo rendered to the dif
ferent Counties which will not only
be charged up with moneys that may
be advanced them tinder tho proposed
law, .but win. also hnvo handed out
to them their share of tho debt al
ready Incurred for Internal Improve
ments. '
Coclho's bill, Introduced this
morning, which has tho approval of
tho Administration, Is ns follows:
Coelho's Sill
"Ho It enacted by the Legislature
of tlio Territory of Hawaii:

'it "was known that Stenog-vphpr Jim

Stenographer, Koarns made, It Is al
leged, $4200 Out of tho Job, being paid
extra for transcribing his notes, am'
In addition to that having tho handling
of nil work connected with getting up
copy far tho 1 1 ouso Journal.
This year tho Speaker appointed a
Journal Committee, niuj Lloyd's gilcy-
anco Is that tho clerk ot this commit
tee, Nngaran Fernandez, lias been tak
ing his transcription of tho mlnutii
and mnklng copies therefrom for which
ho receives full pay, whllo Lloyd Rets
nothing, not oven pay for transcribing
his note.
Some days ago Lloyd tried to lnvo
this remedied nnd put In n request that
hu ho paid tho regular rato for trun
scribing nnd for copies. Tho Speaker
and tho Committee on Accounts con
tldered the matter and turned Lloyd
dovv n.
Apparently, IwwovejY ho refused to
nbldu iiy this decision, and appealed
to other members of thu Houbu for aid.
This resulted In tho Introduction by
Alfonso of thu resolution quoted and
thu prompt breaking of a btorni that
shook thu Houso to Its foundations.
Tha Speaker's dcllbcrato characteriza
tion of thp purpose of tho resolution as
graft was tho prima cause of the
trouble,
With tlio reading of tho resolution a
frown gathcicd on Hostcln'H face.
This, ha Bnld, appeared llko a slap at
thu Accounts Committee. Then ho
launched Into a slow, deliberate anal
jsIb of tho resolution ns It appeared
to him.
"Tho people do not pay a stcnog
tapher $10 a day to sit In a chair or to
wrlto a lot of hieroglyphics that can
not bo understood by thp Houso. If
tho Houso wlthcH to (ako away from
jhp Speaker tho responsibility plnced
on )W .shoulders by tho Ilulcs, it can
do Ml.
"As for asking compensation for
transcribing from tho original minutes
tho Speaker objects to It. Tho Chair
has had expcrlenco In past legislatures
In regard to what Is called Graft! I
l egret lo brjng these, matters up, hut
the. resolution vvns Introduced without
my knuwledge. Tho pcoplo might as
well know that as long As I am In tlo

lution.' It Is thu penplo's money wo

A Stenographer's Worth.

loin In liatt legislatures that trnnscril;

A 6qua-e Deal.
Long spoko n second time nn the
question. Ho Insisted that tho ste
nographer Is not getting a sqtinru deal.
He said ho knew that tho minutes of
tho stenographer aro taken by other
clerks and retyped and tho work paid
for. This money, ho Insisted, should
go to tho stenographer. "To Illustrate,"
ho said, "I t pe the minutes nnd 1 don't
get paid. TIiIh man copies the typed
minutes nnd gets pair for It Where's
the Justice In that? It Is a rank In

Rice Has Enough.
"I feci," snld Hlce, "that Ihcro ore

I herewith tender you my resignation
as a member of tho commltte I would
bo glad to get oft tlio committee. It Is
tho worst committee in tho House to
servo on. I was sorry, Mr. Speaker,
when you put mo on this committee.'
Would Let Lloyd Talk.
Cohen asked that tho stenographer
be allowed to mako a statement before
tho Hoiifo of his position In thu mat
tor..
The Speaker ruled such a request
out of order, saying that If tho stcnog
raphcr wished, ho could make n state
ment to a committee.
Will Support Holsteln.
Itlght or wrong, I am going to sup
port tho Speaker," said Shlnglo.
"Now Mr. Speaker, it seems to me
Hint it Is time for this Houso to put
Itself on record as to whether or not
It Is going to support Its Speaker
and Its Public Hxpendltures Com
mittee. I move that nn ayo and no
vote bo tnken on this question."
Sheldon moved tho resolution be
tabled, nnd the ayes and noes wcro
tnken.
Btcnographer Lloyd Immediately
wrote out his resignation nnd left
It on his desk, but later tha Speaker
returned It and Lloyd was asked to I
hold oh n day or two, as some nr-J
rangement might bo made.
