Sir: Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred House Bill No. 96, entitled "An Act to Amend Section 1409 of the Revised Laws of Hawaii, Relating to licenses of Tobacco, Cigars and Cigarettes," begs to report as follows: The object of the amendment to Section 1409 of the Revised Laws of Hawaii is to exempt the grower of Tobacco from paying the license fee of $10.00 upon the sale by him of tobacco or leaf tobacco, produced on his own land, other than to the consumer. The Section thus amended will serve to aid the Tobacco industry, which, though still in an experimental stage, promises well and in the opinion of your Com mittee deserves encouragement. Your Committee also learns that the Section as sought to be amended will conform with the Federal License Act as touching upon tobacco, and it therefore recommends the pas sage of the Bill.
