didn't suit Mr.. Achi q little bit. He
sailed into the measure with the reck-
less abandon of q Kansas temperance
reformer in q rhickly populated sa-
loon district. His ~Carination hat
Chef was unsheathed- He claimed
the bill would work hardship upon
the poor people by increasing their
tax rates. Mr. White believed the
bill q good one. as it would correct
many existing evils Mr. Baldwin
concurred in the matter The Repub-
licans seemed to fail in bringing Mr..
Achi into line. He spoke a second
time upon the matter. and was sum-
marily cut on in the midst of fearful

heartless times up by Iha c,air
Mr. c. Brown wanted to see the bill
tiers by saying so. Mr.. Kanuha ask

The vote was taken. II passed its
second reading. and was made the

All the trouble regarding the pass

for $4,000 for legislative expenses
which arose Wednesday was Danish

passage Of a joint resolution by Mr..
White. which settles the financial
question as far as the legislators are
and the lawmakers may
soon expect to receive their respec

Honolulu, T. H., March 81, 1901.
This measure was promptly adopt
d and transmitted to the House.
By Q o'clock the House had passed
ne resolution by a unanimous vote.
At the commencement Of the ses-
ion yesterday morning the following
sports were read bv Mr.. Paris for
le Committee on Public Lands, and
dopted:
We find that bill "a requires that
very instrument in order to be re-
orded must have an affidavit attach
l, sworn to by the party or parties
xecuting the same.
1. That the consideration in the
Ddy of the document is the only.
mount to be paid for the same
2. Where the consideration is
ominal. an affidavit must be attach
/ stating the full value.
Your committee fail to see any
BOD that will be accomplished by
lis law. Where considerations are
)minal we find the Registrar often
'quires the parties to take oath as
the true value before the instru-
ent is recorded.
II for the taxation, the value can
silly be got by the adjoining prop
ties.
We consider that it will only make
,cuments more complicated by at
ching an affiaavit to each one and
erefore recommend the bill be
i'd on the table,
We have carefully considered bill
which provides for typewriting ma
ines in the Registry ONCE.
While it would expedite the work
the Office in some ways and per-
ps reduce the number of clerks,
III the records would have to be
ken on separate folios until ready
be bound into book and we doubt
the records would be as safe as
to the records. according to the
esent system We therefore rec
lmend that the bill be laid on the
BILE.
