THE NIGHT SESSION.
At $40 the House convened.
Emmeluth moved that House bill rs.
fixing a new taxation system, be brought
up.
Dlckey moved to table the bill, as 1t
was too bulky to consider at this late
date.
Beckley moved that the bill be read by
title for the second reading.
Robertson moved to read the bill Sec
ton by section, but afterwards with
drew the motion, as the whole bill re-
ferred to a County bill which we won't
get"
Emmeluth: 1T don't understand how
any member can speak In advance as to
what the Governor will do with this
bill If the Governor does treat 1t In
this fashion, we can show him something
in legislation that will astonish him."
Robertson: mo one is further remov-
ed from the Governor than l am. !
know nothing of what he is going to do,
only what l would do, We're l in his
boots. If the Governor signs the Coun.
ty bill In the shape it has gone through
the House and the Senate, he must BIT

Emmeluth: 'This County bill is, in its
present shape. better than that used by
forty-six States who are advancing with
far more rapid strides than the con-
glomeration that makes up these ISL
andS ever cam"
Prendergast: IT would like to ask
Representative Robertson II he did not
introduce an income tax in '7S?"
Robertson: "'Forty-eight."
Prendergast: governor Dole was
sane when he signed this bill. afterward
found unconstitutional"
The motion to read the bill section by
section was then carried.
The measure provides system of tax
alton and repeats all other laws relating
to taxation.
Emmeluth: 1.-THE County government
will do away with the poor man among
the Hawaiians: from now on Ae has q
show"
Dickey: 1.-THE Hawaiian is always be-
hind in his taxes. He has q nabit Of
saying 'Mahope. mahope.
Emmeluth was on the warpath, and
possibly used his indispensable magnify
ing glass for other purposes than read
ing. He certainly seemeu to take excep-
ton to anything that dared suggest
that the County bill was dead. He made
a motion that as long as no Interrupt
lions were made the bill should be read
straight through by the clerk, and was
much annoyed by Makekau wanting to
know, you know"
Makekau's frequent Interruptions were
oftentimes yawned at, sometimes groan-
ed at, but never stayed In their course.
The native side of the House moved
that they understood English well
enough to dispense with translation,
OF an inconsistency in the
light of their many clamors for the use
Of Hawaiian on all occasions. The bill
having seventy-two secuons, the ques-
ton of getting home before midnight
may have enlightened their understand
ngs.
Robertson: 81 would like to ask the
chairman of the Taxation Committee
why the bill has not been drawn to the
attention OF that committee"
Emmeluth: ASK him something cas-
er. The bill will, however, be found to
oe all the more commendable."
Dickey: "a Senate bill, just like this
las been shown to the Taxation Com
nittee, but Representative Emmeluth
vas absent on that OCCASION"
Beckley was in the chair and several
'isitors OF both sexes who are within |
ociety's ranks looked in for few min

The first twenty-four sections were |
assed practically without amendment, |
Though slight discussion took place
yer the exemption OF raw materials
