ANOTHER REPORT ON THE TAX BILL.
Mr.. Hayselden presented the following
majority report from the Special Committee
on Tax Bills
Hon. J s. Walker, President Legislative
Assembly: Your committee to whom was
referred sundry tax bills beg leave to report
that they have had the same under careful
consideration, and recommend that the
tax bills introduced by Hons. Wight,
Castle and Hayselden be laid upon the
table, as the remedy sought for in them
has been provided for in a substitute here
with presented by your Committee, which
they recommend this honorable Assembly
to pass. FRED. H. HAYsELDEN,
PAUL NEUMANN,
l.. AHOLO,
J. K. KAUNAMANo,
r KArrrVor
Mr.. Hayselden said the report was signed
by five of the seven members of the COM
mittee; the other two could not agree on
some points. Therefore, the committee
submitted this bill Itwas one of the most
important matters before the House, and
should be acted upon at once, so that the
law will go into effect by July LIST.
Mr.. Brown thought that before the bill
was acted upon the minority report should
be presented. Speaking for himself, he
did not know anything about the bill. He
moved the report be accepted and laid on
the table, to be taken up when the minority
report is filed.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop said the report was
made in rather an extraordinary manner.
1t was made without consulting the other
two members of the committee. Since the
substitute bill had been gotten up there
had only been one meeting of the commit
tee. How far the committee could agree Is
not known The Chairman, Mr.. Dole, he
thought, had prepared minority report.
The way this report had been presented
was not only extraordinary but discour-
teous. He would like an opportunity to
speak on the bill.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved as an amend
ment to Mr. Browns motion that the
report be laid upon the table until to-mor-
row morning and that the minority report
be submitted at the same time.
Mr.. Hayselden said there was no inten-
ton at all to show any discOurtesy IN the
matter The committee could not agree
upon the matters of real estate and per-
sonal property, but he would support the
motion of Mr.. Brown, as amended by
Mr.. KauIukou, to have the report laid
on the table until tomorrow, and it to be
then considered with the minority report.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved that the bill be
made a special order of the day for Satur-
day.
Mr.. Brown said that as it was a new bill.
it should take its proper course.
The motion to accept and lay on the
table until tomorrow, to be then consid-
cred with the minority report, was put and
carried
