Show Legislative Notes. A Junkot to Loo Angeles la being vigorously advocated by tho railroad comrnltteo of tno House of RoprcscntntlvoR. The officers of the road aro paid to be anxious to extend tho hospitalities hos-pitalities of tho souson. and many of tno momlers of both Houso nnd Senato are not avcrso to Interviewing tho and sea waves for a brief space of lime. If the Junket 1b decided de-cided iiKn It will necessarily Ik brief, for tho present assembly is piling up moro worK for itself than It can hopo to get through with In tho nlloted sixty days. For tho firnt tlmo at this session of tho Assembly As-sembly tho Hon. James H. Anderson wan seen on tho floor of the House. Two years ago Mr. Anderson was In constant attendance on the Legislature, and was credited, rightfully or wrongfully, with acting as messenger boy for tho runt prcalduncy. He certainly took a. very active Interest In legislation, especially legislation affecting tho enterprises of the Mormon church; nonce his appearance at this tlmo In regarded as an ovll omen by those who were so unsophisticated aa to suppose that the Legislature would bo permitted to act on Its own Initiative. 'Consolidation" Is tho watchword of Representative Rep-resentative Miller of Emery county. He went to tho University of I'tah yesterday and camo back with tho conviction that the board of regents of that Institution and the board of trustees of the Agricultural college should bo consolidated. At tho same tlmo ho proposes to put a stop to tho duplication of courses nt th two Institutions, by giving the University Univer-sity everything that does not appertain to agriculture. Another consolidation Mr. Miller has In view is that of tho functions of tho Arid Land Reclamation Fund commission with the duties of tho Stato Land btrd. Ho seeH no reason why tho Land board should not attend to the reclamation of arid land under tho national reclamation act with less expense ex-pense to tho Stato than can a separate commission. |
