great many HaWa1lanS who would bl
entitled to vote who did not before,
the recommendation of the committe,
were adopted. The committee of which
l was member gave the matter very
careful consideration, and l hope tht
House will adopt their recommendation
Rep. Kauhi said that those who had
taken oath under the present Constitu
ton, could not be deprived of their right
to vote. The provisions of these amend.
ments could only apply to those who
come in after.
Noble Macfarlane hoped, like Noble
Widemann, that these amendments
would pass by large enough majority
He did not believe these people could be
DISTINGUISHED after giving them the
franchise. He thought it would be a
mistake to reduce the income qualifica-
ton, and would favor six hundred dol
lars as recommended by the committee
Rep. Nawahi thought they had all
mad up their minds, so he would move
the previous question. Carried.
Noble Macfarlane moved the ayes and
noes be taken.
President Walker-They can only be
taken once on one question.
Noble Mccarthy said the ayes and
noes ought to be taken, so that the
members can place themselves on re-
cord. 1t will go before their consti-
tuents.
The ayes and noes were taken on the
amendment finale subject" in place of

Noble Widemann was excused from
voting, as he said the division was a
very bad one.
Noble Baldwin moved to reconsider
the vote. Lost.
The section then passed as amended.
Section 4 was read as follows: "Article
SO, No person shall sit as a Noble or
Representative in the Legislature unless
elected under and in conformity with
the provisions of this Constitution"
Passed.
Section was read as follows. "Article

be entitled to one, vote for the Repre-
sentative or Representatives of that dis

which shall be held under this Constitu-
ton
The section passed as read.
The following new section was recon-
mended by the committee "Section 49,
The Legislature may from time to time
enact such laws asst may deem proper
for the supervision and control and iden-
LITIGATION of all persons or any one class
or nationality who may be introduced
into the Kingdom for the purpose of per-
forming agricultural labor, and may also,
by law, restrict and limit the term of
residence in the Kingdom of such agri-
cultural laborers and the business or
employment in which they may en-
gage"
Noble Baldwin explained why the
committee had recommended this new
article.
Rep. Bush thought that this proposed
article clashed with others in the Con-
stitution
Rep. Nawahi said the House could
amend the Constitution, but he doubted
their right to add to it.
Noble Phillips said the amendment
was intended to be the Chinese amend
ment, but it was not the way the COM
mittee have got it. They have taken
the meat out of it. He moved that the
original bill pass.
Noble Widemann spoke in favor of the
L will not vote to take
away the liberties of people who are just
as good as am.
Rep. Bush spoke again, still thinking
any action would be Unconstitutional
