House hill 20, relating 20 electric trac-

pany. passed second reading.
House bin 81 providing n $40 tax on
every ton or sugar, next came up.
kumaac proposed TO change the
amount To s. as a tax Of $40 would ALB
sorb not only the profits but the princi-
pal OF the plantations aud strike at the
very life blood OF the country.
/ prenderEast shtieked out few ear
splitting vowel sounds disturbing tho
lluGse and causing Akina to leave the
ci Gir In charge OF Kekaula. The pyru-
technlc was to the effect that $40 was far.
, far too little for tax.
BcCklcy; After consulting with many
eminent lawyers, unconnected with this
| Island, l have come to the conGlu don
that such n tax would be unconstituti n
| nj. The average taxes are about sl.j1
Waialua pays S2.lS; Eva s2.05. One plan
tation pays 81 and has never paid
dividend. Had l not been convinced that
such n tax was unconstitutional, would
have introduced II long ago."

pairing the same to the plantations and
their taxes. Two dollars, he thought.
was sufficient. 81 showed this bill to the
plantation managers, and they told me
$40 was too much, but they would agree
to 81 or 50. times were hard. Stocks
are down, and i think we should think
of these hard times. We have three
chances at these planters-income tax,
property tax, and this sugar tax. II We
kii. them on at one shot with this sugar
tax. what is the use of throwing the two
other rocks?"
Kaniho. who had forgotten to put on
his collar, and buttoned up his coat to
hide the fact, provoked the House TO
spasms OF laughter. Before annexation
we were going to shovel up money and
benefits. Where are they? And why Is
$40 too much. II these shovelsful of mon
ey are lying loose? Still. II these people
did not tell the truth. and there are no
shovelsful of money, let us make 1t 81.
That won't hurt the member from Ka-
uai. who owns several sugar planta-
tions."
Emmeluth: az am confident that such
a tax is possible II proceeds are used for
school funds. Board of Health expendi-
ture or any additional expense incurred
by the bringing In of labor ] therefore
move that this bill be referred to some
committee to be placed in legal shape.
There is n bill to be brought up tomo row
that will thoroughly cover all these spe-
cial taxes"
Beckley: II second this motion. This
reference 20 committee will perfect the
bill and make the plantations pay what
they should pay. Waalua and the ka-
uai plantations have shirked paying their
right amounts. They are like enormous
squids. sucking the life-blood of their
country. If this bIA went to the Sen
ate l believe Mr.. Baldwin and Cecil
Brown would go crazy If they heard 1t
in its present state" rs
Makckau objected owing to the small
space of time left and Beckley withdrew
his second and Emmeuth his first"
The bill passed Its second reading.
House bill 81. repeating certain laws re-
lating to vagrancy came UP for second
reading.
Wilcox proposed the addition, which
, carried of hard labor to the words
