reported fayo>iJ's ca The measure.
Thu rapor. points out thai several
states In the Union have adopted
similar laws AMI recommends that the
bill pass. Che report vas adopted
and tho measure passed second read
ing.
According to the committee, the bill
is for the purpose of discouraging pri-
yate persons and associations from
privately influencing members OF the
Legislature in promoting or opposing
legislation private or public interests.
Senator Conveys franchise bill for
an electric light and power plant on
Kauai was re-referred TO the judiciary
committee TO be made ''indetermin-
ate"
Senator PachecoN fought hard
against Kamapohas bill raising the
wage per day at which road or poll
taxes may be worked out
Pacheco opposed the measure be-
cause he believed il would encourage
aliens to work their taxes out on the
roads rather than to Fay their taxes
outright. This would not be fair TO
the citizen, he thought.
Desha and Pacheco voted in the
negative when the motion to pass was
finally presented
Senate Bill 81, relating to duties of
county auditors, passed third reading
without q dissenting vote.
House Bill Ia, relating to the ex-
penses of the charter convention,
again brought Pacheco to his feet.
The senator wanted stricken out
that portion requiring the authentica-
ton of the chairman and clerk of the
convention to certain portions of the
account.
Pacheco, who was chairman of the
convention, said he had conscientious
scruples' against one item Of the bill.
He moved that the portion be deleted.
He would have the bills approved by
the clerk of the city and county of
Honolulu.
Single opposed the motion because
he said it had arisen over a dispute
between Pacheco and w. ]. Coelho
over the latter's bill Tor work as as
sistant clerk. The committee had
compromised on 500, and this amount
ought TO go to him.
Finally after short recess, Senator
Castle introduced compromise, al
lowing the approval to be made by
the county auditor and the bill passed
unanimously.
