to make some change in 1t. BY this Act
a native on Molokai can not sell single
calabash of poi without coming TO Homo
lulu and paying $40 for license. Ii we
want TO make a license for Honolulu,
alright, but don't make it apply TO the
rest OF the group. Ii sell caIabash to
my neighbor for coin, that is a public
sale. Section would not exempt any
one selling poi for money. l Believe,
Mr.. President, that the poi shops in
Honolulu should be under the super
vision of the Board OF Health because
some of them are in a beastly condition.
We have a law on our books which for
bids the manufacture of poi within GER
tain limits, but it has never been en-
forced for lack of funds, | believe. /
shall favor such law.
Rep Waipuilani-The law says the
Minister may grant license TO any suit
able person. This gives him the power
to refuse license to every Chinese if he
happens TO be anti-Chinese. Calls OF
question:.
Rep. Kapaehaole moves reference to
the Sanitary committee because there is
great deal in the bill which is con-
nected with the health OF the commun-
ity The leper settlement alone takes
between 500 and a 900 bundles OF paiai
weekly coming from various quarters.
Rep Nawahi-I think it would be
| better for the introducer of the bill to
| withdraw it at once. If we license our
staple article of food by and by some
one will want to license the making of
bread. 1t will be just as fair.
Rep. Cummings move reference to
select committee l will not with
| draw the bill on any command from the
member from Hilo. | am not in the
House to do his bidding but that of my
constituents, at whose request have IN
troduced it. have been in the poi bust
ness a long time. The price of poi de-
ponds on the supply of taro. The mem
Der from Hilo may be IA very good law
yer but in any other business he is a
failure.
Rep. Nawahi-I am sorry that the
honorable member from Honolulu mis-
understood my remarks. was request
ing not ordering him. | have had
think az much experience in the pc
business as he. Judging from the sue
cess of a certain poi company OF which
he was a member he has had very little
experience indeed.
Noble J nj. Horner-On its secont
reading bill must be read in whole
and then either committed or engrossed
Now isn't it courtesy to send the bill to ;
committee? When member ha
brought in bill, it is likely he ha
looked into the matter little NOR
. deeply than the rest of US. We ought t.
| look into it's merits and If it has nom
then it is time enough to hold up on
hands against it. We have alread,
wasted enough time to pass the bill.
Noble Isenberg-The motion to refe
to committee is good one and as w
have heard a good deal about it, NOV
: the previous question. Carried.

!. the feelings of the worthy member fror
Honolulu, withdrew his motion.
: Rep. Kalua moved the bill pass to Ell
grossment, because. there is no necessit
0 for reference to the Judiciary COMMITTEES
!. The law already makes leprosy a groun
d for divorce. and this bill merely simpl
fies the procedure and makes it less e,

Judiciary committee cannot shed an
