amendment pass. Carried.
The committees amendment to
Article Sc was read as follows:
"Article 90. A Noble shall be a
male subject of the Kingdom, who
shall have attained the age of TWEEN
ty-fve years and resided in the
Kingdom three years, and shall be
the owner of taxable property in
this Kingdom of the value of three
thousand dollars over and above all
membranes, or in receipt Of an
income of not less than six hundred
dollars per annum."
Rep. Paehaole said the only
change made was the insertion of
the word "male," so that none but
a male subject of the kingdom could
be a candidate for Noble. He NOV
ed it pass.
Noble Macfarlane objected to the
manner in which the bill was pre-
sented. 1t seemed to be all mixed
up.
Reb. Brown said this was the re-
pOtb Vi Iut
Noble Widemann moved that the
bill be printed. Noble Baldwin
said that the amendments in the re-
port were exactly the same as in the
bill, and by looking at the report
members could find every amend
ment. There was nothing more in
the bill than appeared in the report.
Noble Macfarlane objected to the
manner IN which the amendments
were confused in the printed report,
and he did not propose to have
these amendments rushed through
without protesting. He understood
that the Article providing for the
qualification of voters for Mobiles
was rushed through while he was
looking for it, and he was opposed
to certain provisions of that amend
ment.
/ Minister Brown said that Article
had not been reached yet. The bill
was very plain, If the hon. Noble
could not read English he was not
fit to be Noble.
Noble Macfarlane claimed he was
as fl to occupy his seat as the gen.
tleman sitting in the treasury chair.
Noble Widemann called the Min
lister to order. Such a remark should
not come from that quarter. If he
| (the speaker) were to use such Ian
guage, he could be hauled over the
Goals for it. He thought His Excel
lency owed an apology to the House.
Noble Macfarlane, continuing,
said if the Minister of Finance was
satisfied with the spectacle he had
made ON the floor of the House, he
had nothing more to say on that
score. AS the thing was before the
House, however, he maintained it
was confusing.
Noble Cornwell said that if the
hon. Noble would go through the
printed report he would find every.
thing.
Noble j. M. Horner found nc
trouble in finding the place of each
amendment.
Noble Widemann said they were
now on Sec. of the bill. Would
the hon. Noble show him Sec. 2 in
that report. He moved the section
be indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Nawahi said the section pro.
posed an amendment to Article sc
of the Constitution, the intent being
to prevent women from being elect.
ed to the House of Mobiles. If 8
woman set up now in some districts
she would be elected probably, but
the country was scarcely ready fol
female legislators.
Rep. Kanealii objected to the sec
tion because it did denote the coun
try whose Constitution they were
amending.
The section passed.
The committees proposed amend
ments to Article 80 were read. The,
consist of substituting the wore
"subject" for president" in thu
