A. It. and other societies. ; That bone of contention, the eight j hour bill, again came up, and there was a long discussion over it. Williams defined de-fined his position clearly in regard to the measure, stating that he opposed jt I simply on the ground that it was a sham and could not bring to the work : ingmen any of the benefits which its advocates claim. Others who wished the bill altered and strengthened were j voted down, and the measure finally I j passed. TN THE HOUSE. Allen took up an hour in a speech on the bill to establish free public libraries, li-braries, notwithstanding there was no sign of opposition to it. Two bills I looking toward changes in the code I were ruthlessly slaughtered. The bill relating to branding and inspection of cattle was passed, but two members I gave notice of a motion to reconsider. Several beet growers of Spanish Fork, belonging to both political parties, petitioned against granting a bounty, holding, that not over two per cent, of the farmers of the territory, at the j' most, would be benefited by the fifi y cents per ton bounty and that proportion propor-tion would be greatly reduced by hold ing the raiser of beets to a polarization of his product to 14 per cent, sucrose, ! and 80 per cent, co-efficient of purity. The pet'tijners remark that "the contract con-tract form of the Lehi sugar factory ; for the present year is based upon 11 per cent, eucroee, and further oyer Manager Cutler's signature of January 1, 1S94, as published in the Salt Like Tribune, it was shown that the company com-pany having facilities for raising beets greatly exceeding the ordinary farmer only reached the standard for which i the bill provides a bounty. The bill upon its face would seem to be intended in-tended to benefit the farmer, but to scan it thoroughly, how insignificant the amount would be, to compensate for the money extorted from his fellow , agriculturist, O say nothing of the J other tax payerB of the teiritory. The guise is too thin; evidently the effects ; oi the bill is int?nded in our opinion to enhance the profits of the manufact urer at the expense of the agricultural class." ; Tolton presented a petition from cer I tain alleged residents of the eastern ! part of GarSeld county asking for the tacking onto Wayne county of all that part of Garfield "lying east of the east j line of range one east of the Salt Lake S meridian. j Stanford presented the claim of the Ogden Investment company for $350 ! for rent.

Vaiian presented a bill proviaing that in all cases of foreclosure where an attorney or counsel fee is claimed by the plaintiff no oiner or greater amount shall be allowed or decreed than the earn which shall appear by the evidence to be actually charged by and paid to the attorney for the plaintiff, plain-tiff, and no agreement or understanding understand-ing to divide such fee between the plaintiff and his. attorney shall be re cognized.
