Rep. Kamauoha said there were a
number of people ON the other Islands
who had a few cattle and who made
jerked beef The law as it now reads
would affect them. He asked that the
bill be amended so as to fix ten dollar
license on those people.
Rep. Rycroft thought it was an excel
lent amendment There is a tendency
now to clean out the wild cattle in the
neighborhood of the plantations. A
people, while a heavy one would be a
hardship.

were out of order, as the section had
passed and there was no business be-
fore the House. So ruled.

Rep. Richards, under suspension of
the rules, asked that Section 70 be re-
considered. This section makes the fee
on sales of merchandise amounting TO
$40, 900 per annum $50, above that
amount a license equal to three-eights
of one per cent. Passed.
On motion of Rep. KamauOha, the
rules were suspended and he introduced
q section providing for fee of $40
.or the sale of sailed or jerked beef.
Minister Damon want revenue and
he member is trying to help me, but
want to be fair. If a man has a license
20 sell beef he must under this section
pay an extra license for salt or jerked
beef.
Rep. Richards thought it was unfair
20 charge a license fee of $50 on the
outer districts and then give another
man a license to sell salt or jerked beef
under a SO license. Believed the $40
lee should cover all.
Rep. Kamauoha said there was where
The trouble was. Men paid a license &c
sell fresh beef, but they were interfered
with by persons who paid no license
but who Slaughtered cattle and jerked
or sailed the beef and sold it,
On motion of Rep. Robertson. the
amendment offered by Rep. Kamauoha
was indefinitely postponed. Section
withdrawn by the introducer.
