ORDINANCE No. 8 of 1912, intituled "An Ordinance to provide for the introduction of an Excise System."

Enclosure 5 in No. 1.
THE EXCISE BILL.
ANTON BERTRAM,
Attorney-General.
The Committee report on an Ordinance to provide for the introduction of an excise system was next considered.
The Honourable the COLONIAL SECRETARY: I move that Council go into Com- mittee. Agreed.
The Honourable the COLONIAL SECRETARY said: I rise to bring up the report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Council appointed to consider and report upon an Ordinance to provide for the introduction of an excise system, and I move the adoption of that report. At the same time there are one or two amendments made subsequently to the sitting of that Committee which I should like to propose to the Council to-day. Honourable Members will find the draft Ordinance in a cor- rected form has been placed in their hands, and I would draw attention to the I would also proviso in Section 1, which enables existing contracts to be fulfilled. draw attention to the fact that in Section 3 (2) the words "Assistant Government Agent are proposed to be inserted in addition to the words "Government Agent as they already stood. I think these are the only alterations which have been made. I now propose that the Ordinance should be taken in Committee in the ordinary
way.
"
The Honourable Mr. RAMANATHAN was observed to make several journeys to the Colonial Secretary during the consideration of the first few clauses.
The various sections up to 14 were considered without any dissent from any member.
On Section 14, which says no hemp plant shall be cultivated or collected, the Committee have inserted the words coca plant.
The Honourable Mr. ROSLING said the coca plant was not suggested with the idea of raising revenue or for excise purposes, but they understood Government had in view the possibilities of the regulation of the traffic in cocaine, and they thought the cultivation of coca should be brought under regulation.
Sir HUGH CLIFFORD said this was the understanding of the Committee.
Mr. Ramanathan objects to " Prayer."
Section 31, which had been amended by the Committee, formed the basis of an objection by Mr. Ramanathan,
