take n choice and the difference in this
bill from the old system II as broad As
that between midnight and day This bill
calls for justice and is far better than
the attempts to patch up the old system
now In vogue in the two Houses. This is
bill plenty good enough to last two
years"
The motion to strike out the section
was ruled lost. but Dlckey Appealed from
Beckleys ruling, saying that those not
Young are by the rules of the House
counted In the Affirmative.
The motion TO strike out the section
was then carried by a rising vote.
Robertson tried to pass the bill with
out further reading and revert to the
loan BILL but was voted down.
Section 81. taxing all rents collected
on rented real estate or personal proper
ty, above the yearly amount of 5000 two
per cent annually. was objected to by
Makekau and also section 80, taxing all
interest collected except from loans Sc
cured by real estate mortgage, the same
annual per cent.
Mahoe also thought the section clash
ed with the per cent income tax, and
moved that the whole section be stricken
out. The motion carried.
The motion to adjourn was made and
carried. to the manifest dissatisfaction of
Emmeluth.
Monsarrat was anxious to Introduce
the following resolution:
Whereas, the special appropriation of
$4,000, appropriated for expenses of the
Legislature, has been expended, leaving
an X-ray balance of thirty cents; and.
Whereas. the Organic Act provides
$500 compensation for each and avery
member of the Legislature, for the spe
cial session; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the members of the
House Of Representatives of the First
Legislature of tho Territory of Hawaii
do hereby agree to contribute their mas
sive brain power skill, labor and SER
vices free of compensation, during the
special session.
Several members expressed forciEly
their objections to having the taxation
bill forced down their threats when there
were undertaking bills to be introduced,
and stated their intention of not attend
ing any more sessions.
1t is doubtful, however, II any bills
would have passed on third reading, as
only eighteen members were present.
Only thirty-two sections were read,
anG as far as probable results go the
evening was practically wasted. Moss
man, who dresses exceedingly well on
his $500 allowance, showed up in a frock
coat and a glossy hat of approved shape
Mr.. Mossman is essentially the Beau
Brummel of the House, his moustachios
are always in aggressively good condi-
ton, while SO far he has been the only
member to appear in full dress, which
he donned the other evening. 1t is no.
ticeable that since Mossman put on his
swallow tail he seems to have regaiped
his authority and craftsmanship over his
plainer-dressed brethren, who are not so
