Second Readings.
House Bill Sc, Kaleiopu, to amend

lating to foreclosure of insanitary prop
erty for lien, was distributed in print
ed form Tor second reading. The bill

Executive and drafted under supervi-
sion of the Governor
House Bill 90, Kaleiopu, which is in
tended to wipe out the law regarding
certificates of vaccination, was referred
to the Police and Health Committee.
House Bill 81, Kaleiopu, forbidding
prison labor on public road work, went
to the Police Committee. The bill EN-
bodies the erroneous ideas entertained
by many that prison labor on roads
and quarries comes into competition
with free citizen labor, forgetting the
very obvious fact that every political
subdivision of the Territory spends
every available cent and could not re-
place the prisoners with paid laborers
if they wanted to. The bill does, how
ever, allow prison labor to compete
with free labor in which the market is
limited, just the opposite to what is
done elsewhere where road laborers are
not the most important people in the
political community. The bill reads in
part;
CAN prisoners sentenced to imprison-
ment at hard LABOR shall be employed
in agricultural, cabinet making, shoe
making, harness-making, saddle making.

cupations as the High Sheriff may di-
