SIX THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1917. Bills Would Boost Many Maui Salaries (Continued From Page One.) District Magistrate Makawao 1200 1320 District MagaiBtrate Hana 900 1080 District Magaistrate Molokal 600 900 Park For Hana Representative Joseph has Introduc ed a resolution calling for the ex change of land of the Kaeleku Sugar Company for government land of equal value, the acquired land to he used for a public park at Hana. Something Doing In Schools Representative Walsh, who Is on the aouse committee on education, is tak :i a great amount of interest in school matters, and he intimates that there will be a good deal of general Interest to the public before the session is over He returned this morning from Maui vhere he went with Chairman Mar- iiuez, and Representatives Ahuna and Kawaha, of the education committee, to look into affairs at Lahainaluna It seoniB likely that the plan to turn the old institution into mechanical lines, rather than agricultural, and to nut it in charge of a separate commls .ion. will be carried out. . There is very good prospect that .eachers salaries will receive a sub- otant'al boost. Governor Pinkham hav ing recommended $71,000 additional on this account. Other bills are also Jlkely to be introduced with the same object in view. Representat've Mar- Hiez' H. B. 131, raises from $15,000 to $67,000 the monthly payroll of teachers, supervisors and princip als, plus sixty dollars, instead of fifty as at present, additional for every thirty-five children of school age i'.dd'?d to the enrolment of the public schools after June 39, next. Opposition To Congressional Junket There is some doubt as to whether the $40,000 appropriation for bringing a congressional party to the islands will go through. Kauai is said to be opposing the proposition on the grounds that she never gets anything from the federal government, and doesn't propose helping pay for a pleasure trip for a lot of mainlanders. There has been also some opposition from Hawaii, but not serious. The bill passed the House today and is riow in the Governor's hands. It Is understood the Governor will veto the measure, and whether it can be pass ed over his veto, with the other oppo sition against it, is a question. Paschoal Wants Armories Representative Paschbal has a bill now before the finance committee calling for $46,000 to pay for six armories on Maul as follows: Lahai na, $15,000; Kahului, $7000; Puunene, $7000; Haiku, $6000; Wailuku, $5000, and Kaanapali, $6000, a total of $46, 000. Paring Down Process Begins Reducing by nearly half a million dollars the amount asked for by the board of health, the ways and means committee of the senate on Monday reported a budget bill (S. B. 52) total ing $3,479,852. The Governor's budget called for $5,267,489.93, or over one and three-quarter million dollars more than the estimated revenues. The se nate committee pared something off all along the line. The national guard demands get hit heavily, but are still over $200,000 against $40,000 two years ago. The cuts for the board of health include General, from $41,400 to $33,800; sanitation, $106,580, $68,760; quaran tine, $54,000, $47,760; mosquito cam paign, $36,120, $25,920; prevention and cure of tuberculosis, $175,000, $120, 000; insane asylum, $138,000, $125,400; new buildings, $150,000 (cut out). Tavares Hands Out A Slam There was a spirited fight put up on Tuesday on H. B. 147, introduced by he Judiciary committee as a substi tute bill, when the measure came up for third reading. The bill would pro hibit the attorney-general, his deput ies, and the several county attorneys rind their deputies from appearing as counsel in cases other than govern mental. Lyman of Hilo painted a tearful word picture of how some county at torneys almost starve on the salaries they receive and if they were not al lowed to engage in private practise, why, how could they live? He mov ed to strike from the bill all reference io county attorneys and their deputies. Walsh supported Lyman. Silva and Andrews supported the bill. If coun ty attorneys were not getting enough salary, give them more, but make them tend to the public's business un iiampor. d, they argued. Tr.varfs told how he knew that cer tain county attorneys went out of their way to impair their official usefulness by accepting outride law works. "On Maui people are arrested for adultery and similar crimes and the cases never go to trial," he said. They are dropped in the long run. And why? Because those who are paid to prosecute undertake to represent the principals in divorce cases. And that is the end of it all." The motion to table the deletion of the county attorneys and their deput ies from the provisions of the hill was lost, announced Speaker Holsteln. It was a close vote, which ever way it did really go. Before the motion to adopt the amendment could be put, however, Ly man moved to defer further consider ation of the hill until next Monday. This carried and it probably saved the amendment for the time being. Abatement Bill Fight Honolulu's efforts to abate the bo c'al evil through a bill which would close houses of ill fame through in junction against the owners of the pro perty, has been a warm issue in the city for the past several weeks, and the legislature is now the storm cent er. A mass meeting held In the Opera House last Saturday night strongly supported the idea, which is said to be successful in its object in a number of states, notably Iowa. The senate will hold a hearing on the matter, open to the public, on Friday after noon of this week, before a committee of the whole, over which Senator Cooke will preside. The bill being considered is S. B. 10. Marketing Division Bills By two bills fathered by Represent ative Gerrlt Wilder, it is proposed to take the territorial marketing division entirely out of the hands of the federal experiment station, which originally started the work, and to make it a separate division of the territory. The bill provides for the scope of the div ision, much as It is at present, and of the duties of the superintendent. A second bill provides a revolving fund of $15,000 which is to supply working capital for the institution . It speci fies that all accounts with producers shall be settled monthly, of oftener. Provides For Small Farmers Provision whereby small farmers may take up government land on a yearly rental of four percent of the assessed value, the lease to be for 999 years; and with an additional rental of twenty cents an acre for each one-tenth of a cent increase In the price of sugar above three cents, is made in a bill introduced in the house today by Representative Norman K. Lyman. The bill adds a new portion to chap ter 30 R. L. 1915, which relates to the disposition of public lands. Under the bill the land commissioner is author ized to set aside from time to time portions of public lands for occupa tion as homesteads. Th's land shall he selected only from agricultural and pastoral lands, and each applic ant shall not he given more than 40 rcres, or land of size sufficient for sup porting an ordinary family. It is pro ved that, reads be surveyed to com municate the lots with a public road. LOBBY NOTES If Representative Norman Lyman, of Hawaii gets half of the money he wants for his county he should con sider h'mself in luck. Following his plan to raise $400,000 for a concrete road to the Volcano by a special in come tax, he last week asked for $103,500 for eight armories for the Big Island, $140,000 for a new high school, $50,000 for a reservoir for South Hilo, and $7500 for a survey of a road from Hilo to Kona, between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Representative Walsh has introduc ed a bill providing that all school books needed in the public schools shall be supplied to pupils at cost, and parents or guardians required to buy them as necessary for the children in their care. In case parents or guardians refuse or neglect to do this, books shall he furnished the children and the cost assessed and collected as a part of the tax account of the per son in question. H. B. 162, introduced last Saturday by Representative Walsh of Maul, provides, "Any teacher who has been in the service in Hawaii for twenty-five years or more and whose snlary for five years before retirement has not averaged more than six hundr ed dollars a year, may, instead of making a cash payment to equal the amount short of the required twenty percent receive half of the pension, until such time as the re maining half equals the amount of the shortage, after which said teacher shall, receive the full pension.".

Fair Women Ask And Then Proceed To Woo The Muse And In The Doing Make Some News Lahaina has a hustling literary club, though the rest of Maui doesn't hear very much about it, except occasion ally. Recently, however, the ladies of the organization have grown tired of waiting for promised improvement of sanitary conditions, and accordingly have started a poetical campaign which ought to get action in short order. Here are some of the effusions of the last meeting: The Near-Suffragette's Soliloquy To vote or not to vote, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler In man's eye to sit at home with second-hand opinions Than to want to vote against a sea of evils, and thus by voting end . them, t To know; to vote; Ah, yes, and by the vote to say we end The grafting and the thousand politic al machines that governments are heir to! 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To know; to vote; to vote perchance to graft Aye, there's the rub. For to franchised woman what tempta tions may come when we have entered political conventions. Must give us pause. In such corrup tion we hear the death knell of good government. The ad Story Of Little Willie Little Willie, quite unwitting Merrily played beside a swamp, Thinking, in his childish error, Twas a dandy place to romp. At the funeral Willie's mother Sadly said to Mrs. Brown, "Twas a sorry day for William When we brought him to this town." The Mosquito Question There was an old 'skeeter who lived near the water, She lived and she bred there no mat ter who fought her, She's so many children they flew all over town And bit all the people white, yellow and brown. They made babies cry and big people scratch, Till the Club decided no more must she hatch. So the question now confronting the women, true, Is what in the world are they going to do? Swat The Fly! I've been reading sanitation And I have no hesitation In confessing that I know but little of the laws, But it long has been my habit When I see a fly to nab it, Fgr I know it carries germs upon its paws!
