Show B The Legislature B The legislature has adjourned, and Its doings B are now a matter of history. All the foreensts BB of what It should do, what It could do, and what It B would do are nil swallowed up In the ono sen- B tencc of what It did do. Throughout tho scs- B slon has been n busy one, and a great many whole BB ' fpmo laws havo been passed. Tho closing camo B technically within tho time limit, for tho first time B since statehood, which makes a record for the ses- B slon Just ended. During tho closing hours a great Hi many bills went down with "ono full, swoop" but BJ wo think nearly all that wero a "crying necessity" Bl had a chanco for life. Freak bills went quickly Bb against tho rocks, and In the main the bills that BJ wero passed aro In tho Interests of the people at BJ largo. BS Our city commissioners Interested themselves Bb In tho passage of several meaBurcB to assist them Bl In the handling of tho liquor traffic. As soon as BJ thoy made their wants known tho solons responded Bb nnd granted their every wish. Commissioner Bl Georgo W. Llndqulst was elated at tho reception Bb he and his friends received, nnd was loud In prnlso Bjh of the law makers. It Is a source of regret that Hi somo nctlon was not taken on minor matters ef- BB iectlng tho city, such as bonds for the commission- Bb crs, tho holding of meetings, tho transportation HM question, etc., but they wero no doubt lost sight of Bb. whllo tho more weighty problems wero being con- HA sldercd. Bb Kducntlonnlly It might he denominated an A. Bb C. legislature Wo haro not heard of anything tho Bb A. C. nsked for that It did not get. Tho old truism Bb "Ask nnd yo shnll rccelvo" wns all that was neces- Bb Bnry. Tho appropriation enmo through with good Hb grace, tho Ilrnnch Normal School at Cedar City was Hi added to tho College, something that is looked up- Hi on na being good ami bad by friends of the school, Bb and throughout tho cntlro session tho temper seem- Bb i cd to bo that tho A. C. could got Just what it ask- BK cd for. If there Is anything lacking then tho very HJ t reason for its non existence Is tho fact that it was Bl 4 not requested. HM . In the matter of appointments at the bands of Bb I the Governor Cache county found favor. President Bb Joseph Qulnnoy, Jr., wns selected as n trustee of Bb tho U. A. C. while Hon. Thomas Smart and Dish- HM P John Q. Adnms wero reappointed. Or. II. J. BJ Frederick received an appointment, nnd Dr. Isaac Bb S. Smith camo In for recognition on tho Dental Hj Hoard. Ulshop T. II. Merrill of Illchmond was Bjl appointed on the land board, a placo that Mr. Bb ' W. H. Thatn has held for n number of years. Mr. Bl ; Thaln wno not a candldato for rc-appolntment, nnd Bb J, was supporting Mr. Merrill In his aspirations. All Bb of thcBo gentlemen nro receiving the congrntuln- Bb tlons of their many friends, nnd Judging from tho Bb temper of tho pcoplo n list of more satisfactory Bb namca could hardly hopo to bo found. Tho Kcpub- Bl i Hcan congratulates them all, as well as tho retlr- Bb ) l"S officials, and trusts the new ones will mnko as BJ Rood records ns tho retiring officials have made. |
