B. 24 and S. B. 25, which limited the courses of the two schools and provided ' a means and rate of taxation. Hardly before the arguments were started Senator Sen-ator Lawrence moved to strike out the enacting clause and put the bills in' the graveyard. ' , Dozens of people crowded the Senate chamber expecting to enjoy spirited debates, de-bates, but they went away disappointed, and the college and University are on the same footing as before. The fight , has now settled down to how many votes can the college control f ' V. Senator Bullen's Bill. When the first Bullen bill was called yesterday afternoon, Senator Bullen arose to defend his measure, which was to limit the course of the University. He declared that he was loyal to the University, but did not want to see an encroachment of studies upon the college col-lege course. He declared that it was right that the courses of both schools be definitely fixed. Senator. Bullen's fair argument impressed his hearers. He then went on to explain the provision pro-vision by which money to maintain the institution was to be raised. Park Against College. Senator Park, leader of the consolidation consoli-dation movement, replied to Mr.. Bullen's Bul-len's remarks in a sarcastic manner. H contended that the question of consolidation consoli-dation was a question of dollars . and cents, and that the time would -come according to Utah's present financial condition when both institutions could no longer be maintained. Theoppqsition td the bills" was taken up by Senators Miller, Rasband and Hollingsworth. While Senator Basband was still arguing Senator Lawrence moved that the enacting clause be stricken out, . Before the motion was put Bullen secured the floor. He .declared .de-clared that Utah was under a moral obligation ob-ligation to support the two institutions. Senator " Lawrence pushed his motion and the bill was killed. , Three Measures Up. ' The argument regarding the next bill by Bullen, S. B. No. 25, went to pieces in the same manner. It prescribed and limited the course of study of the college. col-lege. ... . There are still three measures beforV the Senate and several before the House of Representatives on the same matter. Senator Park has two bills in the Senate. They are a special order of business at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. His bills provide for two constitutional amendments. One is that the location of the two schools shall be in the same places and upon the same site, while the other provides that the schools be consolidated con-solidated but their locations rernain the same as at present. Plan of Comnromlse. Hollingsworth has a reconciliation problem before the Senate, which is for .a constitutional amendment that the schools remain as they are, but shall be governed by one board. On this measure a fight will be waged this afternoon. af-ternoon.
