tricts. He (the speakcr) had since
considered that it might be better to
put up the licenses, at an upset price,
for each Judicial district. This can
be so amended by re-rcference to
committee.
Rep. Smith desired to have the
licenses indicated for Koloa and |
Lihue on the Island of Kauai struck |.
out.
Noble Williams supported the
motion that there be one license for
each island. He thought Section Is
should be so amended as to permit
the Minister of the Interior to spe
city plans for the sale of the drug.
He considered that the matter had
been talked out pretty thoroughly,
so he would now move Cat 1l:25) the
previous question.
The previous question was put
and carried, and the ayes and noes
were called on the question of the
amendment that there be four
licenses granted, one for each taxa
ton division, resulting as follows:
Ayes - Ministers Wilcox, Jones
and Brown; Mobiles Hopkins, Peter
son, Williams, Male, Kauhane, Hind,
Marsden, Young, w. Y. Horner, An
derson, McBryde, Kanoa and Dreier;
Reps. Kauhi, Kamauoha, Nahinu,
Kanealii, Edmonds, Kaluna, Akina
and A. S. Wilcox-N.
Noes-Nobles Pua and Hoapili;
Reps. Bipikane, Ashford, Aki, Pua,
r. w. Wilcox, Kaunamano, Iosepa
and Smith-10.
Absent Minister Robinson; No
bles Berger, Ena, Cummins, j. M.
Horner, Baldwin, Cornwell, Wal
bridge and Thurston; Reps. Wilder,
Bush, Koahou, A. Horner, Kapahu
and White.
Minister Jones explained his vote
by saying that he did not believe in
any license at all. He believed that
each and every license was gate to
hell. He would, however, rather
have four than forty gates, so, as a
war measure only, he would vote
yes.
Rep. Ashford moved that section
Is be re-referred to the Opium Com
mittee. Carried He also favored
action on section Is. He desired a
moment to say that the steamer
Waimanalo had just been libeled on
account of being charged with being
engaged in the smuggling of opium.
Noble Young said that he was OPP
posed to the bill. 1t reminded him
of the Scotch woman analyzing the
word devil. Take ID away it was
evil; take ''e' away it was vile, and
take ''v" away it was i'll. He was of
the belief that the bill was an i'll
evil devil to the interests of the
community. This section (16) shows
the horrors of the drug. This shows
that the necessary paraphernalia
must be supplied. 1t reminded him
of scene described by Burns in the
poem of "Tam O'Shanter's Ride"
Noble Williams favored reference
of section Is to committee for re-
vision.
Pending action the Assembly at
1l:55 took recess until 1870 p. m.
Afternoon Session.
The Assembly re-convened at 80
o'clock and proceeded with the con-
sideration of the Opium Bill 147
and amendments. Sections Is, 19,
80 and 33 of the Bill, were re-referred
to the committee and the others
passed.
One of the provisions of Section
~ was the right of entry to licensed
premises of police officers, magis-
trates, physicians, ministers of the
gospel and members of the Legisla-
ture.
Rep. Smith moved that attorneys
at-law be added to the privileged
persons.
Rep. A. Homer moved that news
paper reporters included
Noble Marsden pleaded for the
privilege being extended to planta-
ton managers.
Rep. Ashford objected to admit
ting plantation managers to opium
joints unless they took holy orders
or gained privilege by admission to
the Central Union bar Uaughter.)
All of the amendments were lost,
the section passed as printed.
The Bill was finally tabled to
await future consideration on the
return of the reports of committee.
Rep. Kamauoha, under suspension
of the rules, presented a petition
from an individual in n. Kohala
praying for the return of a twice
paid road tax. Tabled for consider
