He Is eald to feel that consolidation 'Inevitable, .and to desire that tho pooplo be given a chance to vote on tho matter. Hot the compact Is held up to him. and Staving; boon bound by It, he dislikes to Wheuonf? an Insurgent. S OrtJlister Roundly Condemned. pSenalor Canister's change of base Is jplaced purely on the " grounds that he has yielded to tho urging of several ;fthe controlling clique of politicians He Is talked of quietly as the man who has really been slated for the new L.and ofIce, and as such has been bound body and soul lo tho clique Seeing the course which tho matter Is JtAklngand knowing that It Is but a question ques-tion of a few yeara until tho State cannot can-not possibly support both Institutions, L'cven Inadequately. It Is believed that two, "ind possibly throe Senators, who voted Against the submitting of tho question to itho people, will loin tho majority Senators Sena-tors Monday, and pas3 a measure to this Jetted. f Compromise Condemned. If !t Is found that this can bo carried Monday, when the Senate will reassemble, ;&; measure will bo proposed which will submit a proposition making tho Agricultural Agri-cultural college a part of tho Stalo Vnl-Verslty. Vnl-Verslty. and continuing It at Logan.

Uni-versity. Tin rvvo institutions are asking for JTH.OjO from tills Legislature. This enormous .sum, under the new consolidation consolida-tion plan. It is urged by conservatives. could bo trimmed down more than $100,000. Undor tho original consolidation plan it could bo made to nave nearly $200,C4Q. Appropriations Are Immense. The Appropriations committee is yet struggling with the upnropriatlon bill. It now carries nearly $200,003 more than tho estimated revenues, A greater task was never before an appropilatlon com-niltteo com-niltteo of. tho Utah Legislature than this of trimming down the amount to a sum counl 10 the revenues. Tho outrage of tho opposition to consolidation of the college col-lege and university Is made especially manifest by the. fact that, while tho total revenues of the State are but a little moro than J1.6W.000, the two Institutions want $714,000. or nearly one-half of the entire sum. Outside of tho passage of six bills which had already been so thoroughly fought out in tho committees as to provoke pro-voke little or no discussion, the Sonata made no record Saturday. The members were, as a rule, very busy, howovcr. ana prepared for the great rush that will attend at-tend the work of tho closing hours. Didn't Like Amendments. Tho new fish and game bill, which has been amended In the House, promised a light on the acceptance of the amendments. amend-ments. Senator Iiwrcncc succeeded In having the Senate vote to not concur, and a row was "averted by referring the bill as amended to Senators Culllster and Barber for examination In detail, with a suggestion to report on their force to tho Senate ns a whole. When theso amendments were taken up by the committee, com-mittee, it wis agreed that it would bo better to accept them than to refer tho matter to a conference committee at this late hour. This report was made nnd tho amendments wero reluctantly concurred In, State Commissioner Sharp stated that, while se oral amendments wore ill-advised, ill-advised, he regards the new law as a great Improvement over the old. After completing Its docket work the Senato resolved to saunlor until 'Monday at 10 'o'clock In tho forenoon. |
