Rep. Kinney SympathiEed with the

with sn idea that the lawyers are hard

ed. Professional men, as well rs Others,
sometimes have large incomes from their

sion in the community that he was more
important parsonage than he really WAS.
Let that ideA be SweIR awSy and every

Noble Castle said il was customary 70
speak Of a bill as belonging TO the person
introducing IL Such Is not correct. 1t Is
the property Of the House, and If not pro-
per 10 be passed. the House ought 10 lnde-
hnitely postpone IL. The priElple on
which il is opposed by Noble Smith is not
correct Ii his theory is good, then the
House has no authority 10 levy license
TAX on n grocer or any one else. II Is n
step in ;he right direction to increase the
revenues by increasing taxation IN places
where the tax will not be much felt. Rev
snue ought 10 be Increased If possible with
OuI re>ortlng 10 direct taxation. 1he
House has been asked, session by session,
for appropriations for the law library. If
this bill passes. that appropriation viii not
be asked for.
Noble Smith. in answer 70 the remarks of
Rep. Kinney. said he would be willing TO
consider fSy0rsbly well digeSted income
tax bill. Some planters make $4,000 and
upwards. every year They pay taxes on
their property. The principle Of this bull
Is that they should pay for the privilege of
making money. If license fees are eXScted
Of LAWYERS ard dentists, there will be two
professions taxed. What of all the other
professions and industries in the country ?

Noble Nidemann said the argument that
this license fee is for the public benefit may
well be disputed. The law preScribeS the
conditions on which licenses are given and
held. These conditions involve contract.
He did not think that this Act could stand
in the face Of the other one
Rep. hsmauoha said the bill is contrary
70 Article 10 of the Constitution. We
ought 10 consider not only the lawyers in
Honolulu but also those in the outer dis
trictS. The latter will have 70 charge extra
fees 10 meet this extra expense. The
lawyers license Is compact between him
and the country. The house has no right
70 change the conditions of the contract.
