FINAL VOTE TAKEN ON CANNON BILL Measure Turned Down in Senate by 14 to 4 Substitute Bill Ex-pected Ex-pected to Come Up For Action Today House May Accept Ac-cept Measure With Local Option Clause Act Requiring Re-quiring Dairy Owners to Procure License From State Food and Dairy Inspector Introduced. The Cannon prohibition bill came up in tho senate for the last time yesterday and went by the board after only one brief speech, by a vote of 4 to 14. This result has long been regarded as a foregone conclusion and tho outcome excited scarcely a passing pass-ing ripple of interest among the small audience present. The committee on commerce and manufactures met last night to dlscus3 the terms of the substitute sub-stitute bill, and the result of their deliberations likely will not be made public until this bill comes up for action ac-tion in the ordinary cours'e of events. Should the senate pass the substitute measure, It is deemed certain that the bill will be passed In the house by a vote of 23 to 17, with the local option op-tion clause included.

He spoke of the crying needs along these lines of a large number num-ber of people, many of whom had al ready made application for admittance into the state mental hospital, where, under present conditions, there was no provision for them. Representative Representa-tive Porter also endorsed the bill, as did a number of other members of tho house, Including two of the members mem-bers from Salt Lake. Representative Claud Y. Russell gave It as his opinion opin-ion that $20,000 was little enoueh. con- the city is gradually losing Interest as a topic of conversation, and the gen-etal gen-etal feeling is that as the issue is now a dead letter for the next two years, anyway, no one need look for any particular par-ticular change in the "booze" situation throughout the state. A bill was introduced, yesterday by Senator F. Hyde, providing that all dairy owners must procure a license from the state food and dairy Inspector. Inspec-tor.

The act has . to do with tho regulation of employment agenclec, I making the licensing and filing of bond by the agency owners necessary. Representative Holman ' spoke of the necessity for the action contemplated In the bill, to protect employes from unscrupulous people who do not hesitate hes-itate to pose as employment agents and play upon tho cupidity of the ignorant ig-norant foreigner, and often shamefully cheat him out of his hard earned money, if the bill passes, it will go far towards preventing tb Importation Importa-tion of foreign labor, of the ignorant kind, and genera'? raise the standard of the laboring-" people In Utah.

This bill Telatea to offices at county seats, the. hours they shall open and close, and makes provision pro-vision for theso.

Russell spoke briefly In favor of a half holiday on Saturday Satur-day for county officers, as in. the caso of state and city officials, Representative Represen-tative Holman also said a few words, but the measure failed to strike a responsive chord in tho breasts of a majority of tho members, and a motion mo-tion to strike out the enacting clause went through with only one dissenting dissent-ing voice. House bill 18, providing for the protection pro-tection of employes from tho financial demands of unscrupulous . employers, came up for tho third reading. In this connection Representative Holman Hol-man gave some interesting facts as to how this works at Bingham Canyon. Can-yon.
