Dern, Democratic floor leader and father" of the department of registration bill, explained the measure at soma length and occasioned somg merriment over nt( reputed authorship, though he closed his speech by saying that he had been present at a meeting in the governor's otftce when the gist of the reorganisation plan devised had by the Informal advisory committeevolunbeen discussed and that he had teered to Introduce this bill. Senator Dern aald. that the bill had two reputed objects, one being the consolidation of several boards and the other the-. coordination of their work. By the consolidatioa no Very great amount of money would be saved In Utah, ha explained, and he asIn diverting on this subject, serted Uatl the public of Utah had been misled atityven now sometimes were under the illusion that a considerable saving to the stat would be effected, by i this department, ' gphator Dorn thought it unfortunate that such an Impression should have tons forth. He asserted that the present examining boards had done good work, ths membersJn some Instances serving for ten or fifteen years, and under several Representative Bcdtrberg, which had been the day before. His motion carried before he bad bad time to argue in favor of it and after tome debate the bill was passed on second reading, with only Senator Orlando Bradley v otirg against It. However, some of the senatoia made It quite clear that they reserved the right to change their minds on the third reading after some points which' the senators did not appear quite clear had been further Investigated. Senator Southwick appeared to be under the Impression that it had passed on third reading, but he was quickly disabused of thla Idea. He waa reminded that ths action reconsidered on hla own motion waa tha killing of thq bill on second reading. The registration department bill were then resumed. Senator Dern asked Senator Tebbs why he had left out the last when I r part of the section amended drew thla bill." The senator from Gar field did not know. Senator Dern moved that It b reinserted. It referred to the unwarranted nse of the letter "C. P.

Senator Knight proposed one making It poaelblo for the director, at his discretion, to pay tho members of tho examining boards II a day as well aa their expenses. On a division, after aatno debate, Senator Kinney voted with . tho Democrats, and Senator Lamph with 5 the Republicans, otherwise tho amendment lost by a straight party vote. A similar fato met a by Ben- ator Edward Southwick, proposal that tho maxi- -, mum license foe be raised from 150 to 1(K), Senator Hayward this tlino voting with the Republicans aralnat the change and Senator Kinney with the Democrat, benator Lamph also returning, to the party fold. Senator Hayward then attempted to get an amendment In tho bIH to provide that licensed praoti tlonnrw tn the healing art.

It was rotated out that tho bill bad already boon amended to committee make tho appointment by or additional examiners or another booed when reoriioery practlMonsro In drug Ices healing were to be examined, and the majority of the senators that thla provision took ear of thought tho oltnatlon perfectly. v Tenure-Defined- .

Benator Fstora had no objection to tho Idea, but thought that III point won cornered already. However, the majority of tho senators liked tbo Bouthwklt language wm written Into the bill heuer, and it Benator Wiliam U, Hr n art referred to i tho fact that the osuunljiani e4 -- n-- readily find tome way of disposing d wagons elsewhere, or having them altered, than eould tha farmer to whom tho dealer might sell ouch a wagon. The bill, as I passed the senate on second reading, permits the use of murow tiros on roads In tho state up to January 1, tho sal of ouch 1818, but prohibited wagons after next January. Benator It C. Tebba opposed the Jones amendment, aa did Banal or s Perry Jt Puller and HL W. T. Lamph. Benator George H. Dern pointed out that tpc Jones amendment would serve to protect the- farmer,! end Benator Jones said h had no particular Interest in ths matter, but If they, did not want to protect the farmer when tho denier tn'ght lose, that was tho senate privilege. The Jones amendment then carried with a narrow majority on division, and tha bill passed with eighteen affirmative votes of 53 Wage Proposed. UTAH SENATE - Rehabilitation Bill Passes. The Wood bill for tho acceptance by tho state of tho federal act for the rehabilitation of parson In Industrial life, with state participation. In much tho oamo manner ao the army Is now attempting to give vocational training to Injured soldiers, sailors or marines, aroused soms debate over the wonting with regard to possible endowment funds, and th senate to pent perhaps twenty mlnutso mak It possible to endow suchtrying a fund so that either the principal or the Intercut of ths endowment might be used, aa the dnnor pleased. This was done by permitting investment as fh slats board of examiners might see fit. Protest Town Property Leasing.

A Joint resolution calling for a vote f the people of Utah on the question of whether or not they want a constitutional convention wa Introduced in the state senate yesterday by. Benator H. C. Tebb of Panguitcb. Talk of asking for a constitutional convention ha - been heard with a growing Insistence of . late and th fact that already several constitutional amendments have been proposed for submission to th people at the next general election ha helped th movement considerably. The opinion la growing that th Utah basic law, particularly with ret erenc to taxation and school, is more or leu of a pa tched-u- p affair,, and needs not further patches, but a new arena, "It Is proposed," reads the Tabba rco lutlon, that ths next regular session 1 tha legislature be authorised to call constitutional convention to revise and amend the constitution of the state ol Utah, and such convention Is hereby recommended to the electors of th state." of th member ot each house of the legislature must, according to the present constitution, concur before tills resolution becomes effective. If they do, the majority of all the electors voting at the next general election, In November, 192?, will be required tc authorize the calling of the convention, This is a much more difficult propoti tion to "get across" than a simple con StitutlonaL amendment which simply requires a ' majority of ths elector voting ) thereon, But even if th legislature t authorised to call such a convention and on is held, no constitution or amendment adopted by such a convention can become effective until It baa been referred to the electors and has been adopted by a majority of the electors of the state at the next general election. In thevoting present case the election of November, 1984. This would moan that the movement started, .by Senator Tebba yesterday, even If all the required vote are obtained, will not result id a new constitution for the state until at least 1924. Th cabinet form of government, a tax atlon system, Involving the Possibilities of an Income tax and perhaps of classified property tax, the schools, pay of leg islatore,'home rule In cities, city and county government classification of cities and various other items are among those that have beeomentioned as ready for consideration a constitutional convex tion. Two-thir- ds at . Neegmlller'a meamlre which would insert in the statute the constitutional amendment relating to a tax levy to provide 125 a head for ail persons of school age, waa transmitted to the governor. House bill No, fit. by the same author, wa received from the senate, amended, the amendments concurred In by the house and the bill finally passed. The house aleo concurred in eenate amendments to Houae bill 83, by Wood, relating to vocational education, finally 'passed It and sent It to the enrolling and engrossing committee. Power Too Great, Claim. The house refused to concur In the amendments to House bm If, by Wood, relating to giving the etate board of education supervision over its employees The aenat had amended the bill to give th state superintendent of public Instruction supervision over public libraries, too, a provision of the original bill hich had been stricken by tha house. It wa argued that the superintendent of too publlo Instruction wa receiving much power and considerable objection teas voiced to hla having supervision of all publlo lihrarieo.' Th amendment would 'not Include libraries of citle of tb first class, but thla waa not satisfactory to the house and the members refused to concur In the amendmentsunanimously Th eenate orlll be notified today of the houee'a la action and It likely that a conference committee will be appointed to straighten out the measure. Houae bill No. 9,1. by Day, designed to prohibit untrue and deceptive advertising, waa withdrawn by It author and were given additional time committee lo consider House bills 29, 79, 81 and 93. State Pact Planned. Of tha three bills prepared for introduction yesterday, but which were held over, one, by Representative Kalght. would provide for the appointment of a representative from Utah to negotiate a compact between Arirona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah. California and Wyoming, and between those five states and th federal reclamation aervto respecting tha use and distribution of waters of tha Colorado river and its U it Tha conference, takes place aa It is hoped It may by th author of th bin, ia designed to settle definitely th rights of the state and tha federal government relative to tha of these waters Similar measures tilb-utarl- es utill-rntl- wi the be tnuodifced In the legljlhtures of other state concerned, it 1 understood. Tb bill would empower tb gov. ernor to appoint a conferee with a view to reaching an agreement on tha question involved, but the legislature would have to confirm. any agreement entered Into.
