Senator i Smith's motion was lost and the roll ! was called on the bill. Resents House Action. Senator A. L. Booth of Utah ex-; plained his vote, saying that he' fa- , vored tho bill, but did not like tho wav tho house had treated tho senate in passing its own measuro after it, had received an identical bill passed by the senate, lie said he would voto for tho bill, but would do it only because of the hnportance of the measuro. He held it to bo a bad precedent to establish, estab-lish, but said he hoped that the future actions of tho senate would not bo governed., gov-erned., by this precedent. Senator William Wil-liam Craig of "Weber, who was the only senator to vote against the bill, declared de-clared (hat he did not like the wav tho house had treated tho senate, " and would therefore vote against tho bill. Senator J. I?. Edghcill of .Tuab county said that he had opposed tho Thornlcv bill largely because he thought the penalty too severe. The penalty was cut down by the Mabcv bill, and he therefore voted in favor of it. The bill was passed with seventeen affirmative affirm-ative votes and one vote against the bill. |
