AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Convention met again in Com
mittee of the Whole, at 1:30.
Article 76 was again taken up. Dele
gate McCandless objected to referring
to committee. He believed that the
qualifications for voters should be
high. He moved that $500 be sub
stituted instead of $1,000, as had been
proposed as the property qualification.
Delegate Baldwin believed there
should be difference made between
those who had a steady income and
those who were speculative, or whose
income was unsteady. He favored
placing the income qualification at
about $50 month. He moved 10
make the income qualification 500
year. This would not bar mechan-
les and working men from voting for
those who were to represent them. He
would prefer, however, to send the ar
tlcle To committee, as it was an i'm
pOrtant one, and no mistake should be
made.
Councillor Smith hoped the matter
would not be sent To a mmittee. He
was in favor of Kalua's motion, of
placing the property qualification at
$1,000 and the income at $500 year.
Councillor Young was also against
sending the article to a committee.
He was in favor of Delegate BaldwIn's
motion, aud seconded it. He would
be sorry TO have these qualifications
placed too high, hut it would be much
worse to place it too low. He could
See no use of having two Houses, If the
qualifications for voters were not
widely different.
Councillor Brown thought an ounce
of prevention was better than pound
of cure He favored the article as it
was in the draft.
Attorney General Smith thought it
would not DO to take too many
chances. He wished it was not neces-
sary to make any distinction between
the electors of the two Houses, but it
was necessary and all knew it. Six
hundred dollars seemed 10 be the
aud it was not polite to
il too close. All hoped that
in the future annexation would end
all these necessities, but until that
came, there was no reason to be too
careless. He hoped very much that if
there was any hesitation or unc- rtain-
ty in the matter, that the article
would be referred to a committee He
moved that the qualities tions for yot-
ers be placed at $50 year.

jury committed before any such Board,
if, in their opinion, there is probable
cause to believe that upon the trial
such person could be convicted of such
offense.
Minister Smith said such a power
as this would never be given to an or
dinary registration board, but 1t was
intended that these boards should be
of a very much higher character than
usual.

sentatives and five appointed by the

by providing that the Executive
Council should be ex Officio members
of the Council, with the power TO vote.
Councillor Tenney moved that the
words, Council of State" should be
substituted for "Advisory Council -
throughout the article.
Delegate Carter questioned the adj
visibility of making the Cabinet ex
officiO members. This would give the
Executive almost absolute control.
The Council should be a check upon
the Executive.
Councillor Tenney moved to amend
the amendment OF the Minister of FL
nance by striking out the words pro
vidiDg that the Ministers should have
the power to vote
Mr.. Smith said il the Council had
limited legislative powers, then the
Executive should not have the power
to vote. He favored giving the
Council certain limited legislative
powers.
