quested to report back the bill at once.
Mr.. Brown said he was member of the
committee A report had been prepared
and was in the hands OF the translator
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved that the rules be
suspended so that two members of the
committee could present a report.
Mr. Brown said he did not like that way
of doing business. The other members
should see the report. He liked to be
treated with little courtesy and not like
d dog.
His ExceIlency Mr.. Dare said no dis
courtesy was intended to Mr.. Brown. He
thought the resolution proper one.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop said nothing would be
gained by bringing in the report now. 1t
was taking advantage of the absence of
the chairman.
Mr. Kaulukou asked the Hon. Mr..
Bishop whether the chairman of the COM
mittee (Mr. Dole) had right to absent |
himself without leave.
Hon Mr. Bishop said he should have
asked for permission to be absent. |

We deem it expedient and necessary !
that the Supreme Court should consist of |

vide for the appointment of two additional |
Justices, and define their salaries and |
duties JOHN T. DARE,

TARO FLOUR BILL.
Second reading of an Act to encourage
the manufacture and expectation of taro
flour.
The bill provides that the Alden Fruit
and Taro Company be paid $50 for each
ton of taro flour manufactured, for the
term of ten years.
The report of the committee on the bill
was read. The committee recommend
that the sum of 81, 800 be paid the Alden
Fruit and Taro Company as a sole and
final gratuity, provided they effect a bona
fide sale of one hundred tons in foreign
market.
Mr. Kaulukou moved the bill be con-
sidered section by section. Agreed to.
The first section was read.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the bill pass, with
the amendment that the words term of
ten years read term of five years" He
said the company had mandatory at
Waikiki, and had expended about $35, 900.
If the company could get sale in for
eign market, it would develop the Cultiva-
ton of taro to a great extent. Il would
cost a great deal to introduce it into a
foreign market.
Mr.. Keau moved the bill be indefinitely
postponed He could not see any reason
why they should pass the bill. Evidently !
the Alden Company cast longing eyes on
the Treasury, and wanted to get $50 ton
for their taro -four, not caring anything
about industry.
Mr.. Thurston said he was not in favor of
the bill, but the principle. 1t was sound
policy TO increase the exports. as they are
