per day came up Allison moved the resolution be not concurred 11 and that the same be amended so as to make the compensation 1 per day Senator moved as an amendment to the amendment that the pay oe fixed at 3 per day A motion was made to table both amendments and at this point the chair informed the senate that if this were done the resolution would also be tabled Candland appealed from this decision de-cision which brought Allison to his j feet with the remark that the appeal a being made in the wrong time that a vote must be taken and announced an-nounced ere such action should be had This saved the man whom the presidency fits like the paper on heal he-al a great deal of embarrassment for he was about to state the appeal when Allison came to his rescue Oandland withdrew his appeal and a motion to table the amendments was lost A motion to make the nomnpn satlon 4 per day was then the subject of a great deal of conversation In fact the senate strongly reminded one of the debates in the old city rouncll Evans objected to the 4 per day arrangement ar-rangement He was satisfied that men could be found who would be willing ling to work for 2 per day There were plenty of them in Utah county who would be glad to get a job at that rate Besides this he thought a good bright boy could be had who would be willing to work at that Hgure Allison held that the senate could not state to the governor who he should employ to do his work Two dollars per day was not enough The executive might choose a man from Logan and St George and he could not live on this amount I was Just about enough to live on and no more To this Evans retorted that there were plenty of men who would wOk for that figure and save 125 per day out of i Where can a man get board and lodging in this city for 75 cents tier day Inquired Allison In block in this city every ciy was the reply Mr President said Allison it is 3 wellknown fact that a member of the legislature cannot get into a private house in this city Will the senator permit a question asked Evans Yes sir Has that been the experience of the senator Whereat everybody laughed Barnes declared he came from a commuity where the people did not get large salaries and they did not want him to vote the peoples money away He thought 2 per day was enough for a service of this kind Candland agreed < with him The 53 per day amendment was lost and the 4 per day provision also fail ed to carry Then the 3 men reconsidered recon-sidered and forced a new vote which resulted in 3 being established as the compensation The noes on this question ques-tion were Barnes Candland Evans McKay and Warner After the passage of the resolution the point was raised that the bill had not been read three times and the senate was in a quandary until Evans moved the records show that the rules were suspended on the passage of the resolution which was agreed to with cheerfulness by the Republicans who had were taken very confused at the turn affairs LAND TITLES Miller of this city offered a resolution resolu-tion providing for the appointment of a committee of five on land titles which he said was an important matter mat-ter inasmuch as the Torrens bill was before the senate for action and should be carefully considered This bill if passed would involve the property interests in-terests of Utah which amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars and a committee should spend a great deal of time In discussing the measure Booth was in favor of referring the matter to the committee on judiciary as it was a question which ought to receive the consideration of a large number Millers motion prevailed and the following fol-lowing were appointed as the committee commit-tee Glen Miller Senators Snow Warner War-ner Allison and Chidester QUARTERS FOR OFFICERS At this point in conformity with the action of the senate on Saturday last last the chair appointed Allison Barnes and Candland a committee to confer with a like body from the house with the county officers relative to quarters for the officers of the state during the session The chair called attention to the absence ab-sence of Mr Chambers and asked what rule the senate desired to adopt in the way of granting leave of absence I was decided that the president have the sole power to excuse members for urgent reasons action being taken on motion of Senator Warner HOUSE BILL 5 House bill No 5 relative to the fees cnargea oy various county omcers and directing that they be paid into the treasury was called up and read a second sec-ond time Sutherand moved the rules be suspended and the bill read a third i time and placed upon its final passage Allison objected until such time as I the legislature should provide some I means for the payment of these offi cers He maintained that they employed em-ployed help in large numbers that there was no likelihood of a salary bill being passed for some time and that it would be an injustice to these injustce people peo-ple to pass this bill right now Jones agreed with Allison arguing that they would be left without any means of compensation Sutherland and Miller spoke in favor of the bill bil Evans rose to a point of order that the motion was not a debatable one and the chair sustained the point The motion to suspend was lost by a vote of 10 to 7 Sutherland called for a third read ing of the bill but a motion to ad journ adjourned to 730 prevailed and the senate EVEXIXG SESSION The senators were very tardy in arriving ar-riving and it was 755 oclock ere the session was called to order At that time a bare quorum vas present The chair called attention to the fact that house bill No 5 for an act to regulate fees to be charged by certain county officers for services was up for consideration Senator Warner moved the bill be read third time and placed on its final passage is fnal Senator Allison asked that the bill go over until bi unt morning There were many pn > tnra Tn Tn n nn uv Y ULtU LU ue neara who were not present and moved it go over until today i The motion was agreed to House bill No 1 was reported by Senator Sutherland for the signature of the president This bill provides for bi the fixing of terms of district courts the place of holding same and the sum moning of jurors therein The bill was signed by the president and sent to the governor for his signa ture siga On motion of

immediate passage pas-sage of the memorial be suspended that it be read the first second and third times and placed upon final passage pas-sage The Republican side was slow to comprehend the true inwardness of Nebekers move and did not tumble until by consent i had been read the first and second times The proceeding pro-ceeding was not exactly regular but was so considered and the memorial was in a fair way to get through the house in a hurry when it dawned upon Critchlow that the Democrats were stealing the Republicans thunder by getting the credit for engineering the passage of the memorial through the house He accordingly moved that the memorial be referred to the committee on memorials This suited the Democrats Demo-crats quite as well as having it pass under their motion for i fut the Republicans Re-publicans upon record as opposing or delaying a movement in favor of sil ver but Nebeker was cute and was equal to the occasion He immediately made a point of order that his motion mo-tion to suspend the rules was still pending and that Critchlow was out of order He insisted on his motion being put and called for a roll call whirh vQOTilfan ftc fnllnne rMm1p fnlnt Aye

suspend had carried for the reason that by the time the vote was taken the Republican side of the house had taken a tumble to what was up and strove to again rob the Democrats De-mocrats of their victory Not all of the majority would put themselves on record as opposed to or delaying the measure Only ten of then were willing to appear in that tight Critcnlow tnen moves to amena ny uu stituting the word to for and making mak-ing the memorial read at the ratio of sixteen to one instead of sixteen and one TAYLOR TRIES TO HEDGE Taylor of Salt Lake seeing he was in the attitude of opposing the measure having voted no tried to hedge by beginning an explanation of why he had so voted but was cut short by the speaker sustaining Nebekers point of order that his explanation should have been made during the roll call At this point things began to get mixed up and the proceedings until the matter was at length disposed of were a mass of irregularities irreg-ularities a ridiculous a any that have transpired during this very irregular session ses-sion of Republican majority rule I was plainly evident the Republicans were bound to get out of the hole into which they had been put by the Democratic minority at all hazards even at the expense ex-pense of fairness and a clear record in the journal The speaker had been forced into voting with the Democratic minority minor-ity and had been compelled to sustain their points of order as against his friends so the two decided to take a hand in the effort to deprive the Democrats Demo-crats of any further credit DENNYS SOMERSAULT Critchlows motion to amend was still pending but he declined to put I and ruled that Critchlows motion to com rule moton mit to the committee on memorials was a privileged question and took precedence prece-dence to the motion to amend He ruled arbitrarily that Nebekers point of order or-der that the motion to commit was not in order in view of the fact that the rules had been suspended for the purpose pur-pose of passing the memorial was not well taken and also held that Nebeker was out of order declaring that the rules were not suspended in the face of the fact that upon a twothirds vote by roll call he had but a moment before declared them so suspended He justified his ruling rul-ing upon the ground that a suspension pnnti nnt hp hai PYfpnt hy unanimous consent Where the speaker got this rule is a conundrum no one was able to surmise sur-mise but everyone laughed and accepted the situation the Democrats because they knew the Republicans would have their way anyway and the Republicans because they had gained their point notwithstanding not-withstanding the absurdity of the proposition pro-position The speaker finally put the motion mo-tion to commit Of course it carried the pretext being that there were several inconsistent passages In the memorial which needed amending The Democrats had succeeded nevertheless never-theless in what they started out to do The journal will show that they favored immediate passage of a silver memorial to congress notwithstanding that they were unable to get it passed while the journal will also show that the Republl sans were opposed to it The memorial will doubtless come up again today or tomorrow and pass without any change or any at least that is material but the Republicans will engineer its passage Onedeker of Salt Lake moved an adjournment ad-journment but withdrew it upon Nebeker of Rich calling his attention to the fact that he had on Friday given notice that he would move to reconsider the vote by which the compensation of the governors gov-ernors messenger was fixed at 2 per day He made such a motion and was informed that H C R No 4 to which it had reference had gone to the senate Upon motion by Condon the senate was requested to return the resolution to the house but adjournment came before the resolution arrived Harris of Weber introduced a resolution directing the sergeantatarms to furnish the house with the index of the compiled com-piled Jaws of Utah The next order was the second reading and reference of bills to committees during dur-ing the progress of which Condon of Weber created a slight commotion His bill providing for the organization of societies so-cieties for the prevention of cruelty to animals had been referred to the committee com-mittee on live stock Nebeker objected as he thought the bill had been properly referred re-ferred as did Stevens of Rich Condon insisted that it go to the committee on education but was cut short by a point of order that nothing was before the house and by Critchlow who wanted read some messages from the senate which had arrived during the discussion When they I I had been disposed of Condon again secured se-cured the floor and said If there la nothing further from the house of horde Id like to renew my request that my bill go to the committee on education He stated further in support of his request re-quest the belief that if the bill went to the live stock committee it would never ba heard from again He moved a special committee to consider it Clark of Iron objected to such reference to the live stock committee He knew the gentle men in it to be exceptionally good men iMebeker of Rich was opposed to special committees to consider any bill Condon saw the futility of further argument and as is his wont when he cant have his own way he accepted the situation very gracefully saying I have just learned the gentlemen who compose the live stock committee are exceptionally good men That being the case I am satisfied the bill should be consigned to their care The gentlemans satire was very much appreciated and a laugh went round for his suavity could not have been more pro found had he spent a life in congress MISCELLANEOUS In the order oC miscellaneous business claims against the state were submitted I as follows H c No 1 by Bolitho In favor ofi M M McCarty assistant United States district attorney for

motion by Critchlow that when ad journment was taken it be at 730 wag carried The object was to enable the speaker to sign H B No 1 providing for the holding of courts and send it tq the governor without further delay NEBEKER SCORES AGAIN Another wrangle then ensued over a motion hv Nfiholrnr nf Rich TTn hen nn finished with that silver memorial Ho moved that the committee on memorials be instructed not to amend S J JL No 1 Critchlow promptly objected and there followed a long debate the burden oC which was that the Republican majority did not want the hands of the committed tied The talk was all to no point and Nyc of Salt Lake made the point of or for that the discussion on the original motion was out or order the question of Critchlows objection being the ono before the house The chair ruled that the motion by Nebeker was the ono to be considered announcing that ho would so rule as it would be voted down anyway any-way and he would thus dispose of two > motions at once His position was wrong and Critchlow appealed from the decis ion The house was with him and re fused to sustain the speaker The ques tion of Critchlows objection to Nebekera motion was then put and the house sus tamed the objection The action pleased Nebeker just as well in fact better than as though his motion had carried for he made it with the distinct Intention of putting the Republicans on record as not willing to allow the memorial to go through without amendment after It had passed a Republican majority in thq Senate Adjourned to 730 EVENING SESSION At the evening session only a
