Representative Dole. from a special committee,
presented a report, signed by himself and Reps.
Aholo and Wight and the Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs as follows
''Your special committee. to whom was referred
certain bill entitled An Act to regulate voting at
elections of Representatives" hereby report as
follows:
1--WE consider that the principle of secret voting
provided for In this bill is essential to the purity
of elections, and that it must be secured by some
positive regulation. 1t seems to Us that the bill
before US would accomplish this and we under
stand that similar provisions have satisfactorily
effected these results in other countries.
Your committee, however, feel that the bill,
being long one, and introducing radical change
III our election machinery and proceedings, 1t will
be difficult to give 1t the proper deliberaton and
investigation at this late stage of the session of the
Assembly, and therefore, while they approve of
the provisions OF the bill, they recommend that it
be referred to the commission already provided to
revise the election laws and report to the next
Legislative session, with instructions to report
thereon at the next Legislative session.
81 agree with the other signers of this report as
regards the value of secret voting, but cannot
agree with them that the bill proposed would ac-
compllsh, IN this klngdom the results obtained by
1t III other countries, and l am therefore In favor
of referring the bill to the commission appointed
to revise the election laws, to report to the Legs
tative Assembly of 1888. FRED II. HAYsELDEN.''
Report adopted.
Representative Hayselden desired to give notice
of his intention to introduce new bill, the pur-
port of which would be to rAise the taxation on
real estate and personal property one-fourth per
cent.
Considerable objection was made, as the in
tended action was deemed contrary to a resolution
passed, short time previously, specifying the
date at which the introduction of new business
ended, and Rep. Hayselden gracefully succumbed.
Representative Nahale offered a resolution that'
that the sum of Sc 0S be paid to oneJ. w. Kalama,
balance due for services as Tax Collector at North
kona in 1885. To Finance Committee.
