Passes House On
Second Reading
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Second pay-Aternoon SESSION.

Second Day-Afternoon Session.
An attempt on the part ct Speaker
Holstein and Representative Kaleiopu
to head off' the Kalania,aolc resolu-
ton, and its failure was the feature Of
the House proceedings Thursday after
noon. The resolution. Introduced by
Alfonso the first day of the sessiLn.
though ostensibly an endorsement of
the Delegate to Congress- is N realty
q slap aimed at the Governor and its
passage would have a tendency to Gre
ate breach between the executive
and legislative departments Of the
Government
The resolution came up for second
reading under the Order of the Day
soon after the House was called to
order. Evidently several were wait
ing for II. KaIeiopu, before the reso-
luton was called up, assembled the
platform and held whispered confer
ence with the Speaker. Then he re.
turned to his seat on the Eva side of
the House and the resolution was re-
ported. Instantly Alfonso was ON his
feet to move its passage on second
reading. But the Speaker. recognized
Kaleiopu instead, and the member
from the Fifth District said there
seemed to- be question OF law In.
yolyed In the resolution, and therefore
he moved that 1t be referred to the Ju
dietary Committee.
AifonSo, the father of the resolution
said he would like to be informed what
question OF law could be involved But
the Speaker ruled that the gentleman
| from Hilo was out Of order
Sheldon couldn't see any use In re
ferring this matter to the-Iudicary
Committee. but Kaleiopu said he
could see all sorts Of reasons. II was
a very vital matter.
Nobody else had anything to say, not
even Kaniho. The motion to refer tc
the Judiciary Committee was put. but
failed by heavy majority, to carry.
Kaleiopu moved to defer tlfe resolu
ton until tomorrow. This failed Il
carry. and the vote on the adoption o
the resolution was taken. The resolu
ton passed second reading by larg'
majority.
Another Batch Of Bills.
Another large batch of bills was In
troduced, several members maxim,
themselves heard In the House for tn,
first time this session, when they ros,
to present pet measures that they hop,
to see enacted into laws.
Nakaleka introduced bill to rails,
the pay Of laborers on the streets ant
public works OF the Territory. Undel
| suspension of the rules this and IN,
bills subsequently introduced passed
first reading by title.
Sheldon raised the point that a sim
liar bill had already been introduced
and therefore Il would be unnecessar,
to have Nakaleka's translated. II wal
ordered by the House that II be no
translated.
ksuiho Has a Few.
| Kaaiho got In with batch OF bill
characteristic OF the statesman OF 10
hala. One bill is TO amend the mer
chandise license law SO that mer
chants doing but small business shall
not have to pay the same license fe,
as the big dealers. The fee now 1,
s25 for all merchants. Under Kaniho',
bill a business which has received II
gross receipts for the previous yea
less than 10000, shall pay the mini
mum fee OF $25; over $4,000 and und
or $4,000 gross receipts the fee 4
made $50, and all business taking II
