Third reading of Bill So, Barbed Wire
Fences.
Rep. Nawahi moved the bill pass.
Rep. j. M. Horner moved it be in
definitely postponed. 1t was unfair for
peopIe who had no direct interest in the
matter to compel the wealth producers
of the country to take down miles and
miles of fence. This kind of fence has
been put in many places because no.
thing else would keep out cattle. The
people who have put up these fences are
sensible men. and will take and are TAX
ing these fences down as fast as they
can. had this kind of fence around my
house. AS soon as | could took it down
and put up a better fence. There are
scores of miles of this fence; along the
highways good deal of it. Now, acct
dents happen, of course, but that is not
an argument for taking down the fences.

board fences and injure themselves.
hope we will look on this bill in right
| light. We certainly did not the other
| day.
Rep. Nawahi said these people were
not satisfied with putting up ordinary
| fences, but must add artificial thorns to
wound what ever came near it. This
was cruel. Ii the hon member has been
along the line of the ahu.Railroad he
| has noticed that a barbed wire fence is
| put up there. The speaker referred to a
number of accidents which had been
caused by barbed wire fences. 1t was
| dangerous to have these fences around
school grounds and in towns. This bill
would not work hardship. The Minister
of the Interior might not think it neces-
sary to take fences down in the country
districts The bill was amended so that
it should not take effect for six months.

Third reading of Bill rs, relating to
auction licenses.
Minister Spencer moved the bill pass.
Noble Macfarlane thought that since
the amendments were made the bill
would make the Interior Office great
deal of trouble. That is the opinion OF
the head clerk of the department. The
auctioneers in the country districts are
chiefly Hawaiians and they do not un-

sion, and the result is it entails great
deal of correspondence. He asked me
to make this statement and urge the pas
sage of the bill in its original shape.
Noble Widemann said the bill was now
on its third reading. He did not see why
the House should change the bill to save

send any such message into the House
Noble Macfarlane- He did not send in
