would be pleased to have hand in
any movement TO discourage interest
in military affairs. Those men who
had Quelled the insurrection OF 1895
and who had been the supporters of the
Government were not in favor of the
passage Of the bill against target
shooting, Their pleasure should be
considered. Instead OF discouraging
the legislature they should do all in
their power 10 encourage them, To
these men the Government must needs
look in the future for help. II they
were 10 be discouraged in their efforts
then the country must look out for the
future. The bill was clearly detrimsn-
tai to the efficiency of the military
forces. Rep, Robertson said he did not
want 20 say anything more about the
signers ofthe petitions against the bill,
but he knew OF at least one name of a
man who was one Of the rankest rebels
in the last insurrecuon. Some of the
signers Of the petition were women
and children, who perhaps did not
know any better.
Upon being put TO vote the petition
was referred 10 the select committee
having such matters under consider
alton.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The discussion on the Tax Bill was
continued. the sections relating 10 ex.
lemptiols being the only ones that gave
rise 10 any animated differences OF
opinion. Under property exempt from
taxation, Senator Brown moved e
sCEske out the Y NJ c. 4. He believed
such provision was unconstitutional
| II this association is exempt il Will
open the doors for any amount Of re-
I ligious controversy. The 7. u. c. 4.
is the ofshoot Of a church. and if We
exempt this we should have all the re-
ligious associations on our hands. The
motion was seconded by Senator Hol-
stein.
Senator NeCandiess said that every
thing said OF the Honolulu Library as
q public institution could be said Of
The Y. " c. 4. Their library was the
poor mans library, and better patron
iZsd than any other in town. The as
ISOLATION maintained q gymnasium and
bookkeeping and steuographie classes.
He hoped the item would remain
Minister Damon said he believed it
his duty to protest against the examp-
ton OF the Y. ". c. 4. We have lived
81 peace with the various denomina-
tons because they have all felt that
they would Dc treated fairly II this
door is opened there is no knowing
where IT will end. The Y. ". c. 4. is
an evangelical institution, and 10 free

future elections.
Senator Waterhouse said he was sur
prised at the stand taken by the Min
lister OF Finance Didn't he want good
influences put about his sons? Every
body was free 10 go 10 the 7. VI. c. A
The country needed more OF these in
situations TO protect the young men Of
the country.
Senator Hooking wanted the question
referred 10 the Supreme Court.
Senator MeCandless cited instances
OF bookkespers now holding good po-
sitions as q result OF the instruction
given free at the 7. VI c. 4 II this
wasn't public work. what was il? Are
the attacks upon the association as a
church or as school?
Minister Damon explained that ne
attacked the item because the 7. VI. c.
a was an evangelical association The
tine was coming when the matter
would be brought into the elections,
and an attack made upon the consti-
tuition and strife would ensue similar
10 what was going on in the United
States.
Senator Brown held that if one re-
Igious body or association were ex-
empt there should be q clean sweep.
To discriminate was dangerous
Senator Homer sanctioned Senator
Browns remarks. Senator Browns mo-
ton was carried.
Senator Lyman asked to insert the
Hilo Library Association among the in
situations exempt II was then noted
that the association was exempt By
special act Senator Lyman withdrew
his motion on condition that the Ho-
1olulu Library was also stricken out
