PRIMARY LAW DEFEAT.

The gratifying feature about tho
fight on the primary law is the clear
cut record which the enemies have
been forced to make.
Republicans, with n deep regard
for party-pledges and appreciation of
what laws will best serve honest gov
eminent, made a staunch stand which
forced every enemy into the open.
The men so ghort-sightcd as to
think that they are currylng favor
with the Observation-Disclosures voters
Icy opposing the primary law will
have time to change their views be-
fore another election. II Is true that
rot all the voters thoroughly under
stand the purpose of the law, and
have been mislcd by preiudiced po'i-
ticinus.
But they'll wake up. And as the
voter always has the last say, the
man who cant keep Il political prom.
ise will discover that honesty Is the
best policy.
Primary laws don't stay down any
more than County government laws
can suffer permanent defeat. The
politician who thinks otherwise is
due for further education.

TAX EXEMPTION
PASSED. OVER VETO
Senate 0yerrides It
After Lively
Debate .....

The Governors veto Of the bill eX-
empting from taxation the pineapple,
sisal. vanilla and other industries. was
overridden by the Senate yesterday af-
ternoon.
Kalama moved to pass the bill over
The veto.
Hewitt said that the fact that sisal
and pineapples had paid on Oahu was
no proof that 1t would pay ON the other
Islands. II seemed that the Governor
vetoed every bill which was for the
benefit of the poor people.
Dowsett said these industries had
proven themselves to be successful.
The Governor had the interests of the
Territory at heart when he vetoed the
bill. Dowsett pointed out that the bill
did not exempt only the farmers but
the rich corporations. as for instance
at Wahiawa.
Smith said he found II hard to he
patient with the argument of Dowsett
and Carter. The exemption was the
best way to raise revenue In the future.
The bill was passed over the veto by
the following vote:
Ayes-Brown, Hayselden. Hewitt,
Kalama, Knudsen. Lane, Mccarthy,
Smith, Woods and Makekau.
Noes-Dowsett, Gandall, Chilling
worth and Bishop.
The clerk read communication
from the Governor In which he notified
the Senate that he had signed Senate
Bills 70, relating to public domain;
No. rs, relating to fast and furious
driving: No. SS, amending certain
laws; House Bill No. i3, relating to

passed iirst reading by title.
HOUSE CONCURS.
House BIZ 1863, relating TO judg-
ments, executions and new trials, was
received back from the Senate with
amendments. On motion of Rawlins.
the introducer Of the bill, the House
concurred In the amendments.
VETO is SUSTAINED.
The Governors veto of House Bill
li7, increasing the amount of income
tax exemption from $1,000 TO $1,000, was
taken mp for consideration
! Rice moved to override the veto of
the Governor. Pail moved to sustain.
Kaieiopu thought the Governors
reasons for refusing TO sign the bin
sound. The bill in its present form
needs amending he thought, and there
Is not time. 1t would take at least
three days 10 get new bill through
the House and perhaps six weeks to
/ get II through the Senate, and ir Il
were TO reach the Governor, II would
probably go into the wastepaJhr bas-
ket.
I'VE railroaded this bill through the
| House In three days" said Rice. "be-
cause we wanted to pass the buck M
to the Senate. and | hope we'll do Il
again by overriding the Governor
veto.
Hughes called attention to the fact
that this is the second time bin of
this kind has been passed by the
HnIign "It 10 "a htlI .,
he said, who Is overburdened with
taxes. There Is the school tax, prop
erty TAX, road tax, and a lot of other
taxes, and then comes this iniquitous
poll tax.
The Governor says only one-third
OIL the people will be relieved by this
Dlll ana that the treasury will be de-
pleted $4,000. hold that these rea-
sons are not sound. II is better that
ninety-nine wealthy men should escape
paying this tax than that one, poor
man should have to pay IL.
The treasury will lose $4,000, but
the Territory will not lose IL. Il may
be the means of bringing about an era
OF economy. There are many useless
Offices under the Government, many
padded salaries. II may be that this
Dill VIII do away with them"
Rawlins did not take much stock, he
said. IN the first two reasons given by
the Governor, but he thought the Ex-
ecutive had them on the hip with one
| reason. II move" he said. that we
defer consideration on this veto until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t may
be that the gentleman tRice) who is
the father of high finance, can find
some way to hGlp us out by that time.
The motion was lost, and vote
taken ON the motion to sustain the
veto. The vote was II noes, ~ ayes
sustaining the veto.
HOUSE TURNS SOMERSAULT.
On the receipt of communication
from the Senate stating that that body
had overridden the Governors veto OF

sideration of the veto be taken up ut

entitled "Ozma of Or 1t will be pro-
