Hague said he did not wish to urge
nasty legislation. He had understood
that the minority would make a re-
port. He favored just proceedings so
would second Williams motion.
Taylor denied that the bill was intro
-duced out of its order.
Hart said it certainly was attempted
to introduce the bill out of its order.
The bill was introduced before the
Council only last Thursday and there
were others which had been referred
TO the committee days before. He OBJ
1ected to being forced to submit mi
nority report.
Booth. of Salt Lake, claimed that the
gentleman had been notified Of the
meeting, and that he felt justified in
assuming that they were opposed to
the bill. as they had shown it in other
ways than an opposing vote.
Seaman said the bill would keep. He
opposed hasty legislation in so i'm
portant a matter.
The president put the question OF re-
committing the report and it was car
ried by an unanimous vote.

called attention to the report of the
medical board. The report was re-
ferred to the committee on public
health.

openings be rejected.

RECOMMENDATION OF SILVER.
The joint committee on memorials
recommended the passage of H. ]. M.
| I. concerning the reconciliation Of
silver, and the recommendation of the
committee was adopted.
Hart moved that the rules be sus-
pended and the bill put upon its final
passage. Carried.
1 Adams doubted the utility of the
memorial. He knew that all western
men would raise both hands to vote for
the free coinage of silver if they
might. We are daily expecting favor
able action by the Senate on the en-
aiding act, making Utah a state. He
believed if this memorial were pre-
sented before the Senate took action it
might do harm, and he could not see
that it would do any good. Taylor
said that the presentation of the mem
orial would push the work that is go
ing on in the east in the interests of
the west. The legislative assembly
should represent the force and senti-
ment of the people
Booth of Salt Lake said he was in
favor OF expressing the honest convic-
lions of the people. We do not deserve
statehood if we are too cowardly to
acknowledge where we stand. Hart
said he was glad that the bill was re-
turned minus the amendment He was
ready now to vote for it. He thought
1t mere child's play to suppress the
memorial The east knows how the
west stands on the question.
Williams said he saw hopes for the
Republican party in that the receeding
from the amendment indicated that
there is some tendency to manfully ad.
nit their error.
i The memorial was passed. Adams
voice being the only dissenting one

The committee on memorials sub.
mitted majority and minority reports
on II. j. M. 9, relating to the sugar
bounty. The majority report was ir
favor OF its passage. A minority re.
port by Hart was submitted reading
as follows:
In general we are opposed to bounty
legislation as unjust and unwise being
class legislation which takes from tn,
pockets Of our citizens forced contri
puuons TO be given to the favored in
d1viduals and favored business enter
prises.
That some of the statements mad,
IN said memorial are inaccurate and d,
not conform to facts.
That said memorial is partisan in If,
nature and does not reflect the unite,
sentiments of this Legislative Assembl,
and can result in no good but viii
waste valuable time in the discussion
that must necessarily take place.
Hart moved that the consideration
OF the memorial be made the specia
order of the following day, but tn,
motion was lost.
Taylor moved that the majority re
ported be adopted.
Williams moved to amend by insert
ing minority instead of majority.
