THE HOUSE.

For an hour and a half yesterday
afternoon the House of Representa-
tives, in committee OF the whole, dis
cussed the first paragraph in the chap
ter respecting exemptions in the bill
relating to taxation.
| This section as originally drafted,
specifically exempted cleTgymen of any
Christian denomination regularly en-
gagged in their vocation, regular mem
bers of the Hilo Fire Department and
Guard of Hawaii.
AS soon as the section had been read
and translated Rice moved to strike
| it out in its entirety.
KANIHO OBJECTED.
| Kaniho was stunned He is a
preacher himself and the idea that
ministers of the Gospel should have to
pay taxes. struck him as being utterly
irreligious. He was willing to have
Hilo's firemen and the National Guard
men pay-but ministers? Never.
! Holstein seconded Rice's motion,
pointing out that it was only right
any event he said, it would be unfair
to favor Hilo when the volunteer fire
departments to be raised at Wailuku
and Lahaina would have to pay taxes
As for the clergymen, he said, most
of them were getting good fat salaries
and ought to pay their taxes.
| Broad made an appeal to exempt the
clergy at all hazards for the clergy he
said had made the country what it is
today.
| WHY NOT THEA LAWYERS?
J Fernandez had another amendment.
He suggested that since ministers We're
to- be exempted, attorneys should be
also The ministers saved peoples
souls and the lawyers their property;
surely all were benefactors alike? AM
drade thought the same way and sees
onded the motion.
Kalino naturally enough was for
clerical exemption and Sheldon moved
to strike out the exemption of the Hilo
firemen ard National Guard.
las for the National Guard he
said # used to think that they were
intended to preserve the peace but
since coming to Honolulu I have learn
ed that their principal use is to drink
beer
Waterhouse, to meet the objection
raised by Harris. moved to include all
members of volunteer fire departments.
THE BUBBLE REPUTATION.
The temper of the House was plain
ly in favor of striking out the section
and Kaniho burst into speech once
morce with an attack on the National
Guard and a defence of the exemption
of the clergy. The Guardsmen, he
said, ought to be taxed since they were
seeking "a bubble reputation at the
lannon's mouth'-which perhaps goes
to show that he does not know much
about the National Guard of Hawaii.
The different amendments We're lost
one after another. and on the straight

KAPTOLANI HOSPITAL.

When the question Of exempting diff
ferent public, educational, religious
and eleemosynary Institutions was
reached Mahelona moved TO strike the
hapioiani Maternity Home off the list
He attacked the institution on the
ground that he knew of Hawaiian wom-
en- who had gone there and had been
charged large sums for the services
rendered them.
Nakuina pointed out that it was only
in the private rooms that charges were
made. Nothing was charged in the
public ward.
The motion to cut out the Maternity
Home failed The motion was made
to add Lunalilo Home, Home for Incur
ables. and the Kona Orphanage to the
list of exempted institutions but the
motion was deferred until particulars
of the amount of taxes paid by them
could be ascertained.

TELEPHONE BILL PASSES.

The Standard Telephone Company's
bill came up for third reading at the
morning session of the House
Kaniho objected to the bills passing
because he thought it gave the COM
pany the right to lay its wires in con-
Quits and hence it might cross his own
private graveyard and dig up the re-
mains of his loved ones.
Andrade pointed out that all under
ground conduits would be placed on
the public streets so that 1t could not
disturb any ones remains.
This did not satisfy Kaniho who
thought that the telephone people
might still plant poles in among the
remains of his deceased loved ones.
A motion by Pulaa to. indefinitely
postpone was lost.
Long moved to amend the section
regarding the use of underground
conduits. The section made the fire
limits of Honolulu the boundaries with
in which the conduits must be used
and Long moved to make the boundary
a radius of half mile from the post
office.
The bill passed third reading with
only Kaniho and PuIaa voting against

Tucson, Ariz. This good news comes
in letter from the mayor and tells of
the excellent progress he is making

consent OF his physician. Influences
may yet succeed in making the mayor
a permanent resident of Arizona. He

the opening offers itself and other
things are favorable it is more than a
possibility that Arizona may become
