An Act to free those sending children to

Mr.. Hitchcock moved to amend, SO that the

least $40 year instead of Sc. He said that
such was the ease when Mr.. Armstrong was
st the head of the Education Department.
His Ex. q. de Varigny moved to indefinitely
postpone. If the bill passed it would exempt
those most able to pay, from the tax.
His Elk. s. Ii. Phillips seconded the views
of his colleague. The law struck blow at
the whole system of instruction. The school
tax was not to keep this mans child at school
or that mans child, but to support schools all
tho land cla Of
were exempted, the tax would cease to be uni
form. 1t would be bad thing to show before
courts the justice of the system. All who
were able to send their children to better
schools would be exempted, then who would
be left to support the public schools. The re-
suit would be to enable one class of citizens to |
educate their children, and compel the other |
class toe. In Massachusetts insidious at
tempts were frequently made to divert those
funds from their legitimate purpose to other
places. But now il was constitutional arti- |
cal, keeping the monies in their proper places. |
Passage of the law would be equal to giving |
so much money to a certain class. If the sys-
TEN was carried out, there would be denomina-
tional schools, taking away the public monies.
Mr.. Lyons said that there was cause for
the introduction of the bill. In q great many
districts the government schools were kept
only small part of the year. But there was
reason to suppose that the system of govern
ment schools would be improved, for that rea-
son be should vote against the bill.
Mr.. Wilder objected to. the bill, he should
vote against its passage. As a member Of the
Special Committee to revise the taxation sys-
TEN, he promised to do what he could to make
the school tax property tax.

cept the simple bill, the passage of which he

A bill to amend sections 59s and 63l Of the
)iviL Code, in regard to the pay of Pilots, was
cad. The Committee on Commerce had re-
'orted adversely to the bill. I
Mr.. c. H. Judd moved to postpone the re- 1
'ort of the Committee and order the bill to Z
ngrossment.
Mr.. Knudsen said that the Committee on G
commerce had taken pains to get at the truth
D the matter. According to what they had J
earned the Pilots at present earned large sums
early. All the merchants of Honolulu whom :
hey had asked in regard to the matter had
poken adversely to raising the pilot fees. He C
loved to Indefinitely postpone. 1
Mr.. c. II. Judd said he had spoken to sew u
raj captains upon the subject, and they spoke
avorably Of the matter. He had brought in r
be bill for the reason that be thought the
