Show WATCHING LEISLATIOS. j The Ladles of the Suffrage Associations In all Parts of the Territory Aroused to This Work Mesdames Marilla Daniels and Ellen Jakeman of Provo and S. A. Boyer of Springville.the committee appointed at the W. S. A. mass neeting held in Springville last Saturday to go to Salt Lake, have performed the labor assigned as-signed them. They report that they laid the matter of objecting to the passage pas-sage ofthe school.horticulturaland irrigation irri-gation bills now pending in the legislature legisla-ture before Mrs, Emeline IJ. Wells who immediately called a mass meeting meet-ing of the suffragist associations of Salt Like. At that meeting the bills were thoroughly discussed and committees com-mittees appointed to await upon the chairmen of the different legislative committees who now have the objectionable objec-tionable bills before them, and ask for delay until the whole territory can be heard from. As a result already of the work of the ladies and school trustees and principals of this county Dr. Park's school bill is killed and yesterday in the lower house of the legislature Hugh M, Dougall presented the petition peti-tion prepared by the ladies of this county protesting against the passage of the horticultural bills on account of the cost to be incurred and the despotic manner in which an inspector can condemn con-demn a man's property and burn it up. The petition asks, as the readers of this paper know, that the destruction ot pests be left to cities. The petition was referred to the committee com-mittee on agriculture. The irrigation bill is yet to hear from, and other bills and propositions will be watched and studied caiefully by the ladies. |
