select committee with Rep. Smith as
chairman.
Noble Baldwin said he understood
that the banana had also been at
tackled by bOrer, said to be the cane
borer, and he would move that the
committee be instructed TO investigate
that also. There was also new blight
in the town here, somewhat different
from the c0ttony cushion scale, to
which his attention had been called,
which was doing havoc. He moved
that the investigation into this be in
cluded in the resolution.
Rep. Nawahi referred to the intro
ductiOp of the rice bird, the mongOose
and the mynah, which were all bigger
nuisances than the evils which they
were introduced to kill off. The rice
bird liked rice better than caterpiliars
he was q vegetarian and the mon
goose preferred spring chickens to
rats. There was q nice little ported
plant with a pretty yellow flower,
which was was quite the rage at one
time. 1t was the lantana, and had
spread all over the group.
The amended resolution passed.
! Noble Marsden moved, as a resOlu-
ton, that Section 6 of the Constitu-
ton amendments (relating to labor
| be made the special order Of the day
for Thursday, September 1st. He had
| learned that the situation of many
| plantations was very critical, and i'm
| mediate action was necessary.
Rep. Kamauoha moved the resolu-
ton be laid on the table. Lost.
Rep. Ashford was opposed to the
resolution, because it was not expe-
dent to interrupt the consideration of
| an important bill like the Judiciary
Act. Noble Marsden said that would
not be interfered with, because I'M
finished business took precedence of a
special ORDER The speaker said that
disposed of his objection, but he OBJ
| jected on another ground. He had
commended all along that the bill must
pass or fail as whole, and he objected
to taking up by itself an amendment
in the interest of a particular class.
| Rep. Smith said the idea that what
affected the sugar industry affected a
class only was absolutely fallacious.
| The stagnation of the community and
distress of the Government at this
moment were due solely to depression
in the sugar industry. The prosperity
of that industry affected every man.

that the amendments must stand OIL
