Much time was given over to the discussion dis-cussion of a proposition to segregate the three states so hat each state would have its own council to supplant the tri-state tri-state council of the present. This matter has been agitated for some time. Of course -t'tah was in a position to purh this matter through some time ago. this state having more than 400 members, the desired number for segregation. Utah. Idaho and Nevada are the only three I stotes in the union that have a joint council. 'A resolution was iinany auopiru providing that it was the sense of the tri-state council that as soon as Idaho or Nevada has a sufficient number of I members to form a state council that it do so without further action from the tri-state body. Utah will remain with' the weaker state until the necessary 4K) members mem-bers have been secured. This avoids leaving leav-ing the weaker state -to -struggle alone. H is expected that Idaho will have the required number within a short lime and will be the first to break away from this jurisdiction. Utah will be the last on ac-ciunt ac-ciunt of the determination to stand by the I weaker state. Before leaving for- their homes in the different parts of the three states the delegates took occasion to praise Ogden for the many courtesies that were accorded accord-ed them. This is the first time in the history of the tri-state jurisdiction that two days were required for the disposing of the work of the convention. This was mainly due to the big time planned by t he local council for the visiting delegations, delega-tions, which virtually occupied all of the first day. |
