Second reading of Tax Bill beginning with Sec.
IL. The Attorney General said that this was
meant to act as road tax. That there were
several widows and unmarried women in the
country who contributed nothing 10 the road tax,
being exempt by law, but who had property and
this was meant to reach such az they. That tnerc
were also others who owned property scattered III
small lots in widely separated districts; but who
paid for road tax only i'll the district in which they
resided, while all their property was benehttsd
by the roads in the place where situated. MT
Palohao said that the Government ought to be
ashamed of themselves to wish to tax widows and
unmarried females i'll this manner. He thought
this was double taxaton and that II the intention
was merely to tax women without protectors for
the benefit of the roads, it would be as we'll to do
so i'll more direct way; instead of hiding the real
intent in the manner proposed by the BILL section
eleven was stricken out-Ayes 26; Noes IL.
MIR. Nahinu after recess moved a recon8iderA-
ton of Article IL as Immediately since stricken
out. According to the vote as taken previously
in number with that taken by the Secretary, Mr..

no right to move reconsideration. This time no

to his previous vote. With the exception OF Sec.
IL, all the sections up to the 33rd, passed
some with slight and immaterial amendments.
