slight amendments. One of the changes
was to make sixty days necessary in

On the exemption of taxes clause
there was a long discussion. Kumalae
saying that the Chamber of Commerce
was opposed to exemptions The mo-
ton Of Andrade followed. to make the
period of exemption five years from the
time construction shall commence. Ku-
malae moved to strike out the exemp-
ton sections supporting it in a loud
speech.
VIDA CALLS PAUoA STEAL.
Vida objected to the statement of
Kumalae that the House was exempt
ing rich men from taxation. and said:
This House has just as much right
to exempt a corporation which will be
induced to go ahead and make i'm
provements, as has the member to Pile
up taxes on the poor people by voting
s15O,OOO for the Pauoa water proposition
which is the biggest steal"
Kumalae went red in the face and
springing up declared: II object to be-
ing called a robber."
The Speaker called on Mr.. Vida to
withdraw his remark and the incident
was closed by Mr.. Vida declaring: II
did not say that Mr.. Kumalae got any
of it,"
The previous question was ordered, |
Harris trying to find out just how much
taxes would be escaped, and saying |
that the Chamber of Commerce was OPP
posed to such exemptions. Chilling |
worth asked if men who had tried to |
dictate to this House were not men who !
owned stocks in companies which had
been fostered by such exemptions in
the past. The Kumalae amendment
was then lost, fourteen to thirteen, and
the question came on the passage of
the bill.
Kumalae began to flibuster. A mo-
ton to adjourn was lost, a motion to
indefinitely postpone was debated by
Fernandez who urged against the ex-
emption clause that poor men had to
pay their taxes, and by Kumalae who
rather incoherently argued against ex-
emption, backing out of vida's ques-
ton whether or not he voted to exempt
sisal lands.
