Minister plDSOn WOulu Simply say
that the assertion of that gentleman
that he (the Minister) had sent
ardent spirits to Molokai was false.
The member should not take the
evidence of an unfortunate sick man
as his authority for such a charge.
Rep. Thurston-The person on
whose authority the statement was
made is the agent of the Board of
Health at Halawa.
Minister Gibson--If the agent
made that statement, he stated what
was false, and the man who repeated
the statement here is a scurrious
falsiiier.
Rep. Thurston-1f the Minister
calls me scurrilous falsifier, pro-
nounce him II direct lie.
Minister Gibson said he had sent
no spirits to Molokai. He did not
wish to take up the time of the
house on this matter.
Rep. Thurston-Well don't. Sit
down.

noise interferer with the business of

spoke briefly on point of order a
issue.
Rep. Dole-l have the floor.
The President thought there wa
a great deal Of time being wasted
Rep. Dole thought so too, that tn
question then was to reconsider til
vote. Last year, there were man
irregularities at the election. If th
tax-receipt system is taken away,
!. will help to purify the elections.
was bad enough for employers
labor and Government officials
withhold from voters their tax r.
ceipts, but for tax assessors to &
so, was indefensible-it was di
graceful. He wanted no better i
sue to present before constitl
ency than that he had attempted
!, purify the ballot. The bill does n
remove all the abuses, but it remov
one of them. If the opposition hi
made use of the tax receipts, it w
!, in self-defence, and they We're reac
to give up the system. Not a wo
has been said to show that the tt
u receipt is of any use whatever.
:. Rep. Kaulukou moved the previo
u question. Carried.
The motion to reconsider was p
y and lost,
House adjourned at Ala to 81:
y Friday. morning.
