Question Of Taxation.

There was considerable discussion at
yesterday mornings session as to the
advisability of naming a special COM
mittee to consider questions of taxa
ton. Senators Mccarthy and Coelho
Endorsed the idea of a separate com
mittee, but Kalama thought that it
tee on Ways and Means. The question
developed when Senate Bill No. came
up for second reading. Chairman Fair
child and Knudsen of the Ways and
Means Committee gave it as their opin-
ion that a special committee on taxa
ton would not be for the best and on
a vote being taken the bill was referred
to the Ways and Means Committee.
The text of the act is as follows:
Section l. That Section 1878 of the
Revised Laws of Hawaii be and the
same is hereby amended and reenacted
to read as follows:
Section 127S-Rate on Person s In.

Senate concurrent resolution No. z,
introduced by Senator Baker, which
had as its object the turning over OF
all schools to the control of the various
counties, did not meet with approval
at the hands of the Senate Committee
on Education. The committee in its
report stated that it did not think the
time had yet arrived when such radi-
cal change in the control of the school
system would be wise.
Secretary Savidge finally secured an
assistant yesterday and George Lowe,
sometime interpreter-in waiting to L. L.
McOandless, is the lucky man. Senator
j. T. Brown was loves sponsor and
the lawmaker from Hawaii got the
place for Lowe under an amendment
TO rule of the 1907 Senate rules,
which gave Secretary Savidge the
power to appoint his assistant. The
only other nominee for the place was
George Van Giesen, whose name was
offered by Senator Quinn, the nomina-
tions being then closed on the motion
of Senator Brown. The balloting gave
Lowe eight votes and Van Giesen six.
The House Concurrent Resolution pro-
viding no compensation for the men,
bers of the Legislature if an extra ses-
sion is found necessary was adopted
yesterday on Kalama s motion, thus
following out the precedent that was
established in 1907. House Concurrent
Resolution No. 2, which declares in
rather feverish terms that there shall
be no government by commission in
these islands, reached the Senate yes
terday.
President Smith suggested that the
resolution seemed to take it for granted
that there was definite plan on foot
to place the islands under the control
of commission. He added that under
the circumstances when there was moth
ing more dependable than rumors to go
on it would be advisable to refer the
measure to the Judiciary committee. He
observed that the phraseology could
well be improved and upon the motion
of Senator Fairchild of Kauai the anti
commission measure was referred to the
committee suggested by the President
of the Senate.

THE SENATE.

The first business that came before
the Senate yesterday morning was

mitted to the Senate upon its third
reading. It provides for the legisla-
tive expenses, and, upon motion of Ka,
lama, passed its first reading.
A communication from the College

Doctors by Permit.

Senate Bill No. "a came up for its
second reading yesterday and was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public
Health. It is designed to allow any
one to engage in the treatment of lep-
rosy, consumption or asthma. The text
of the bill is as follows, and, needless
to say, is a Coelho measure with At
cherley sentiment back of 1t:
asSection /, Chapter "a, of the Re
vised Laws of Hawaii is hereby
amended by adding thereto new sec
tion to be known as Section 1127A, ,
which is to read as follows:

vided, shall be granted by the Board

This bill, with its liberal provisions,
was referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Health.
Two of the bills introduced by Sen
ator Knudsen were reported on favor
ably by the Judiciary Committee yes
terday. One is Senate Bill No. SO and
is an act to amend Section 1884 of the
Revised Laws relating to substitute
| justices Of the Supreme Court. The
text of the measure is as follows:
''Section l. Section 1884 Of the Re-
vised Laws as amended by Act 90 of
the laws of 1905 is amended So as to
read as follows:
% Section 1884. Parties to causes

THE HOUSE.

The opening business of the session
of the House for the third day was the
apportioning of the different sections
of the Governor message, the COM
mittees being given for consideration
those particular parts belonging to
their branches. This disposed of the
special order of the day.
A communication from the Promo
ton Committee invited the members to

ing pictures of Hawaiian scenes, to be

In the House.

Both the morning and afternoon SEES
sions of the House yesterday were short,
but both were crowded with promises
of strenuous work to come. Important
measures were considered and introduc-
ed, including a resolution condemning
the anti-Japanese agitations on the
Coast and commencing the course of the
President in the matter. This was in
troduced by Douthitt and carried after
a short address of protest against the
ACCESSIBILITY Of passing it without ma
ture deliberation in committee of the
whole. Furtado of Hawaii, making the
protest in his maiden speech.
Other important measures included a
juvenile court bill, bill providing for
a permanent register of voters, an ad-
ministration bill in reference to the
treatment of lepers and two other bills
in regard to the treatment of leprosy,
a concurrent resolution inviting the
members of Congress to visit Hawaii
as guests of the Territory, and bill
TO provide suspect hospitals on the vari
GUS islands.
There were some bills introduced OF
curious nature, especially one to forbid
the "habit Of selling fish and meat
openly in the fshmarket." Kaleiopu
also created some amusement by care
fully making inquiries to learn if the
invitations of the Promotion Comm: ttee
and the Floral Parade director to the
members of the House to attend a pri
waite view of r. X. Bonnie moving pie
lures and the Mondays parade were
not leg pulling attempts. Kaleiopu in
sisted on the Speaker finding out il
the shows were to be free or not, re
minding the members that once they
had been asked to go to the baseball
ground and then had to dig.
Douthitt IS japanese resolution was
not presented until late in the after
noon: 1t was:
"Whereas, This Territory has larg,
population of Japanese living here il
friendly association with the citizens
of the Territory, and forming valu
able element in the industrial prosper
ity of the islands, and;
Whereas, The cordiality of relation
between the Japanese and American
peoples has been endangered by the at
fempts of certain legislative agitator
to force enactment Of laws prejudicia

fiuenee to prevent such legislation ant

Kaleiopu. 81 think we ought to find
out if they expect us to pay. The last
grounds oman invitation we had to dig
down in our pockets. This committee
will be asking us for something before
long and l think ought to treat us with
courtesy"
Even the Speaker smiled, although
he made no reference to Kaleiopu's re-
marks when he instructed the clerk to
acknowledge the receipt of the invita-
tion and extend the thanks of the
House for the same.

giving reasons for not granting same;
further
Resolved, That he submit with said
list copies of all correspondence rela-
tive to them, together with Gov
ernor's instructions concerning the
same. :"
President Smith observed that the
object of the resolution was obviously
too broad, and he suggested that it be
referred to the Committee on Public
Lands for consideration and report
Senator Quinn made motion to that
effect, but it was necessary to take an
save and no vote" before it was
found that the Cages had it, eight
| to seven. Two attempts were made to
take the vote, first by raising the hand
| and the second time by standing, bnt
| each time the chair and a Senator dis
| agreed on the result. The final vote
showed the first division of the SEES
sion. The Cages" were Baker, Chill

"noes' were Brown, Coelho, Harvey
