Show A BD BAD DAYS WORK WOR K in tho the constitutional convention yes ye t arday aday the th report of the committee on expenses wan waft rejected this depoi t was made on tuesday it showed howgil but bul little money on irk hand and recommend erl ed that from and after tuesday last the members be not paid any per diem but that the on hand then bp re rc s arved 0 to o ray poy the officers ot of the convention the cost of printing and contingent expenses it being the judg judgment mert of tile tho committee that these theae items would consume all the money left we believe the committee were entirely 0 correct about this ant and wern glad when the lim convention adopted their report for that indicated a determination to beep keep faith with the people tn in the under that no debts were to be lort unpaid from this convention but that all the expenses ot of every kind were to be paid out of the congressional appropriation ot of and they ought to have been too for the runn cum was am PIC but tho convention dilly dallied along spent the time in vain and foolish talk and now long lone after lis its work ought to have been done dona arid and tho the convention adjourned it Is still banging on its work unfinished and its members go eo bade back on the vote to set aside a L sum sufficient to meet the necessary cost of 0 closi nir its work anti and showing the people what has been done this Is especially objectionable in view 0 of the bad faith alth it blows toward the people and an d since the money left will last but a few days at most when the per diem 0 of members Is paid out ot of st it As we reckon it tile the convention will last at least a week yet perhaps till the end ot of next week at the rate of 0 dally daily expense all the money will be used up by tuesday next and then members pay will necessarily stop it will us As the contention mention co estimated estimate d need tie L d sonie rome iam to meet the necessary expenses after the convention stops its baem members pay say titer tuesday day next add to thin the expense for four ur days and various incidentals and there Is pretty sure to be a deficiency of 0 something like tor for the people to pay perhaps there will be a deal morn there ahll certainly be much more of EL a deficiency it the convention orders the debates printed and if ac it doean doesn t order them printed the money paid the stenographer ogra pher was nas wasted perhaps tile the members will also bring in per diem di lem bills for services atter after the appropriation Is exhausted and what nhat about printing the hie constitution in the utah papers as the editorial association recommended and thought was conceded that was a thoughtless concession when ahen it was supposed there would evou ld be money to spare to throw ri at the birds it looks its as if it had been thrown but not at that particular roost 0 of birds the vote tor for a ii deficiency fici fic ency was overwhelming 02 to 8 another bad piece of work was wall tile the refusal to reconsider the tote ote by which I 1 woman suffrage had been put into the constitution which was nas moved nit with a blew to bane it submitted as j it a separate article reconsideration cserhat was effused 33 32 to to CO vc confess that we NTO are utterly lit at a loss to explain this jk ote e it certainly will n III add largely to the 1110 vote against ratification ratin catlon with the increased tax ax that will be ba necessary with the obnoxious system or oc apportion apportionment mento with fill the ticklish doubt about tile tho meaning or of tile the irrigation oricle article and perhaps other troublesome points mints yet to come it surely was not wise to add this arbI arbitrary refusal to lt let tile the people decide separately this Ill estion tu to illus go against the popular voice as expressed by upwards 0 of names asking separate submission toll and against sense and reason Is most remarkable tile tho disquieting thought behind it all Is that there F hould be an ail interest lie 0 o strong tor for this thin extension that neither peril to state hood flood popular protest nor common sense could prevail to obtain what la is tile the usual thing thine in such controversies that tile the power insisting 0 on n this arbitrary way of disposing of 0 the tha question should be able a ble to overcome all tile the pow pon erful reasons and insert this extension irrevocably IY la in tile the constitution it la ig orn ominous inous indeed and proves that there Is an in interest backing this proposition that expects to profit by the extension to such a degree that it Is willing to run ail all risks to secure its insertion whatever that power Is it may well be feared the convention raised the salary of 0 superintendent of public instruction to halt half the amount received by the city superintendent of this city there Is a want vant of 0 consistency here certain the governors salary was decreased to the extent that tile the superintendents i was lapsed and now the schedule tor for the chief executive onifer Is 2000 a year there nill I 1 have to be perquisites go with this or c r ithe tile office will go a beggi begging ng or else the incumbent will bo be a lobbyist for contingent expenses at every live seb sension sion prohibition comes next and the question i now ii s how ow will the convention treat it separate submission ifould bould not be granted without wallo wl llo it a ila of precedent for the voice of the convention Is strongly against making more than one vote on the constitution the question cannot very well we I 1 be alt agether ignored will prohibition be inserted into the he constitution |
