moved TO refer tO~thr Committee on
Ways aud Means. Minister Whiting
proposed an additional amendment,
viz; that the owners of the ware
house should make out application
for license and pay 500 a year
therefor.
Confusion was apparent, four mem
bers having the lDpr at one time,
each on point uf order. The Pres
ident beat lively tattoo and the
sharp voice of the gavel finally ob.
tanned needed approach to The cor
DER required.
Rep. Kapahu was opposed to the
bill tue G ,vernnent needed every
dollar of revenue that could be ob.
tanned; this bill was another effort
for some one TO make money; only
lately lie had heard that the sugar
planters had represented TO the Cow
eminent that they were very poor
and the Government to help these
very poor planters had ordered 30
per cent. reduction in the tax esti-
mates for plantations. But how about
other poor people, were they going to
get that reduction in their taxes? As
there was a chance for revenue for
the Government in this bill he fav-
ored reference to the Judiciary Com
mittee to have it patched up in prop
er shape.
Rep. Ashford hoped that the bill
would not be sent back again to a
committee. Ii was very short bill
and with the addition of proposed
amendments the bill would be all
that was required. There were two
| questions which would assist in set
thing further argument. One was,
do we want storage warehouse for
intlammable oils? Yes Secohd, who
is going to furnish il? The Govern
ment has not got the money and here
is corporation able and willing to

the Acknowledgement was most fool.
ish and had surprised him very much
even if it did come from that source.
(Smiles.)
Noble Young was sorry to extend
the debate but he could not refrain
from saying that he regarded the
matter as a plain business PROPOSE
ton. There was no duplicity about
the bill, it was plainly expressed,
there was nothing exclusive. 1t is
admitted that the Government is not
prepared to build, therefore we are
now acting very much like the dog
in the manger, in the matter.
Minister Parker said that he at
first had considered the bill very
plain one, but now that five or six
members had come forward Offering
amendments and more to hear from,
he thoughtit would be advisable to re-
refer and he was in favor of so doing.
Rep White favored reference;
there were so many amendments to
be added now that if more were
brought in the bill would be inflated
like a frog in the fable and ''bust."
The bill seemed to him to he for the
purpose of aiding that great monop-
oily in the United States, the Stand
ard Oil Co., the agents of which
here were G. Brewer & Co., and
Castle & Cooke. He could smell oil
about the bill when he first read it,
an oil monopoly too. Thought there
was a niger in the bill the Mig
ger had been pretty well white
washed but the real color was now
commencing to be seen. 1t has been
said that everybody had privilege

the oil in the country belonged to
the monopoly and they would store
only in their own warehouses and
others would get but little. Favored
reference to committee.
On motion the bill was referred to
the Judiciary Committee.
Noble Marsden moved adjourn
ment and for the space of half a
minute miniature stock-eXchange
scene was exhibited, babel of
voices, extended hands, and all to-
wards the rostrum, members desir-
ing to prevent the adjournment mo-
ton so as to allow presentation Of
notices of bills, this being the very
last day. Mr.. Gavel was again in
troduced by the President and after
some striking efforts succeeded in
being heard and recognized.
Minister Spencer reported that
the Queen had signed bills: I'll
Approprialing money for bands, flags
and salutes. III Appropriation of
$4,000 for Volcano Road. T31 To
provide Police Justice for the dis
trict of Hama, Maui. IA To pro-
vide Police Justice for Waimea,
Kauai.
Minister Widemann gave notice of
a bill to establish Geographic com,
munication between the islands.
Rep. Kaunamano gave notice of a
bill relating to ava licenses.
At 3 80 the Assembly adjourned.
