INCOME TAX AGAIN.
Kaleiopu introduced an amendment
to the Income Tax Law, explaining
that the same was similar to that one
which had already passed the House
and been turned down by the Senate.
The difference consisted in making the
present bill exempt incomes up to
$1,000, while the one slaughtered in the
Senate had limited the exemptions to
$500. The bill passed it's first reading
and was put on the special order of

The lava flow road tangle came up
again on a motion from Mahoe to re-
consider the committees report tab
ling the Senate bill appropriating $4,000
for the reopening. The stenographer's
notes on the matter were referred to
and various speakers gave explana-
tions of the status of the matter which
failed to explain. Kaleiopu, after the
vote on the reconsideration had been
lost, thought the member from Waia-
lua had been right after all.
The rules of Congress on the bring
ing of tabled bills to life were con-
suited and the matter of a reconsid-
Grafton of the reconsideration was fin
ally got before the members.
Finally the already adopted report of
the committee tabling Senate Bill 81
was itself tabled and the bill itself
came up again for consideration in
second reading.
The second reading carried, the
House swallowing itself, the report of
it's Public Land committee and the re-
port of the Attorney General at one
gulp.
Baked AT ANOTHER SWALLOW.

one sustaining the Governors veto of
Senate Bill IA, moved for reconsider
alton, which granted led to a motion
by him to override the veto. The roll
call showed 10 ayes, noes and 4 alb
sent, the Governors veto being still
sustained.
