The House..

MARCH SO u. m.-The House bill
making Probate Judges ineligible to seats
in the Legislature, came up on reconsid-
Grafton.
Mclaughlin and Thurman supported
the bill. They thought the judiciary and
the Legislature should be kept separate.
John q. Cannon opposed the bill, but
could give no reason for his opposition,
except that the Probate Judges were gen.
orally among the best men OF their
counties.
The vote on the passage OF the bill was
tie-lO to l0-and it was therefore lost.

Lehi was passed.

then taken up. Mr.. Greer offered an

| Claims.
Mr.. King moved the insertion OF an
appropriation OF 81 200 to reimburse Mil
