was class legislation. Kumalae made
Ia good fight to save the bill, but all he
succeeded in securing was the post
ponement of the consideration of the

will be killed for sure when the matter
Icomes up. The committee favored the
passage of Hogs bill to prevent min
ors from being in or about saloons and
third reading was set for Monday.
After it had all been done Hogs came
to the point of realization of what had
been done and was about to put in a
word to save the bill when he found it
had been passed on second reading
while he was busy with other matters
and now stood a good show for pas
lsage. Monsarrat remarked that he has
to keep an eye on Hogs and tell him
how to vote.
Robertson was away again. but his

back a petition from KooIau relating to
the proposed land tax, and it will be
taken up again with the bill which the
specia taxation committee will prob
ably bring in.
