BILL CREATING BANK OFFICE 18 PASSED 1h- house yesterda passed the seniite bill fronting the office of stft. hank commissioner There was a trc mendOUfl fight on Hit- meaKurc. which began e.trly In the morning session and ended only when debate was shut off in the afternoon by the adoption of ,( motion demanding the previous quest ion Mabe of Davis made the principal address In favor of the measure and Morris of Washington made the chief pet cb ii. opposition Judd of Salt Lake closed the debate for the bill Between the principal speakers came numerous addresses of greater or leas length At one time Morris secured the adoption of an amendment whose effect was such that, bad it been permitted per-mitted to remain would have called for the amendment of the entire bill, Involving much time and labor When the friends of the measure saw what had happened tbey reconsidered tbeir action and put the bill back Into Its former shape So close was the right i that one motion resulted In a tie vo'e, 20 to 20, the speaker being obliged to vote to break the deadlock. An amendment by Cardon cut the salary of the commission from $3"H' as proposed in the original bill, to $2500 The main opposition was based on the ground that the secretary of suite, with whom bank Inspection now rests was perfectly capable of handling the examination of the 82 banks In the stale, and that a separate department would be only an additional expense.

PUBLIC UTILITIES MEASURE IS KILLED The house yesterday afternoon killed kill-ed the railroad and public utilities commission bill introduced by Barnes The bill was made a special order for 1 2:30 o'clock. Barnes barely zot on his feet to discuss the bill when Day 1 of Iron, chairman of the committee Ion public utilities, moved to lay the measure on the table Barnes objected strenuously, saying 'that It was the "first piece of underhand under-hand work in which I have detected I the gentleman from Iron ami the niember who sits on his left iHenrie I Of Carfield) " Day resented the charge that there was anything underhanded about the Pioceedlngs He said the committee Iliad careful U- considered the railroad I commission bills and had found that ail of them needed a great deal of amending and rewriting and that it was doubtful, anywav, whether or not the house would take time to consider consid-er a bill for a railroad commission at this time. Oldham of Cache, whose own bill for a railroad commission was recent-ly recent-ly killed on the adoption of an ad-report, ad-report, said he was going to voi against the Barnes bill. His own bill, he said, was vastly superior to the Barnes bill, and there was no good reason why he should vote for a weaker measure than the one he had himself presented Moreover, he did not believe there was time at the present session proierlv to consider so important a piece of legislation. The vote to lv on the table was: A es Anderson. Ramberger. Barker Bark-er Beunion. Benson. Cardon, lira Cannon .Chrlstensen cook. Crouch. Ds strop Day.
