The following petition, signed by
eighteen dairymen, was presented by
Rep. Winston:
1--WE, the undersigned, licensees in
the business of dairying in Honolulu,
respectfully represent that we labor at
great disadvantage under the existing
dairy license law, which requires us to
pay a license fee of S25 per year, and
entirely eXempts persons who keep
COWS for private use and sell their sur
plus milk. Many persons in this city
violate the spirit of this exemption by
keeping, without paying a license,
more cows than they need for private
use, and at little or no extra expense
for labor and feed, and sell to custom
ers who only pay well. This is unfair
competition.
Wherefore, we respectfully pray
your honorable body to amend the law
so as to require those who keep a small
number of cows and sell milk in any
quantity, however small, to pay the
usual license fee annually; ali others
who sell milk to pay the present fee of
twenty-five dollars (S25.''
Petition laid on the table, to be con-
sidered with the license bill.
Speaker Naone announced the consid-
GRAFTON of Senate Bill No. II, relating to
licenses, on the order of the day.
Minister COODer moved that oODSid-

600, but as the Collector has no
right to sell it, unless some one
makes a bid that will at least
equal the stamp tax of $40 a
pound, the opium must be de-
strOyed.
1t is supposed that no domestic
opium is manufactured in this dis
trict, as no application has ever
been made to the Collector of Rev
enue for permission, no bonds
filed, and since Collector WelbOrn
has been in Office not a single OPT
UNI stamp has been sold. But
that domestic opium is neverthe-
less manufactured here Deputy
LOupe has not a doubt, and that
it is manufactured in sufficient

This makes it extremely difficult
to break up the business.
The law governing the manu-
facture of and sale of domestic
opium provides that the manufac
turer must first be a citizen of the
United States. He must apply tC
the Collector of Revenue for per
mission to open a factory, anC
give a bond for not less than So,
900. Then he must pay revenue
tax of SO a pound on each pack
age of the stuff placed on the mar
ket. All of this takes the profit
out of the business. as domestic
manufacturers cannot compete
with the foreign prepared prod
uct, which is admitted under q
duty of So a pound net.
The Collector may sell any con
fiscated opium at public auction
provided he can realize at least
the stamp tax on the drug, which
is SO a pound. But before he
can order an auction sale he must
first find a bidder who is willing
