i
low the debt we owe you but we will
pay when we get ready and what in
terest we choose is an illogical posi-
ton.
Booth, of Provo, raised the question
whether the interest as computed was
not compound.
Williams said he did not favor com
pound interest. He asked that the in
| terest be computed till April instead
of January l.
Hart thought with the gentleman
| from Utah that $50 900 was sufficient.
He had favored the bill but the cir
| cumstances that had since arisen, the
| attempt to split hairs by insisting on
/ the small amount of interest, and the
through, made him feel like moving to
limit the amount to that originally
| intended for that use.
| Williams thought the speaker showed
unnatural warmth in regard TO the sug-
gestion. It was his proposition and he
thought it only fair to pay people for
the use of money, no matter for how
short a time.
Booth, of Provo. asked if it was not
proposed to pay interest on money not
yet expended.
Hart said he understood it is propos-
ed to expend s., 900 yet and that this
was included in the debt.
Williams said the amount referred to
is $1,000 and that most of it had al
ready been expended.
Taylor said he favored the amend
ment.
Eidredge moved to refer to claim
to the committee on claims and public
accounts. He stated in support of the
motion that he desired to vote under
standingly and to that end he believ-
ed the committee should make further
/ inv Ha 10
questions.
Adams said it was not known def
nitely how much money was yet to be
expended in the settlement of the
| Worlds fair commission affairs. If
| they waited till it was definitely set
| tied the session of the assembly would
be over. There are many important
session and he was strongly in favor
of settling the matter at once.
| Hart said it was not his purpose to
postpone the settlement.
| The molten to recommit was lost.
! Williams motion to make the amount
of the appropriation S60.67S.S9, prevail
ed.
Eldredge moved to strike out section
II, and pay the face value. He made
the motion because he was aware that
lother important bills were pending.
The amendment was lost.
The bill was then passed by unani-
nous vote.
TRADE MARKS.
C. B. 81, for the protection of unions
firms or individuals in the use of trade
marks and labels was rejected. A sub
stitute for the same was read. The
substitute required the registration OF
the labels, trade marks. etc. Booth
Of Salt Lake, the author of the Substi-
tute, then spoke in favor of the pro
posed measure, saying that in his opin-
ion it was superior to the existing law
on the subject.
Williams said he opposed the bill The
loriginal bill and the substitute were
essentially the same. The purpose OF
lit was an appeal to the galleries. The
workingmen'S unions had no right &c
special legislation. He said the essen
tial points of the bill are covered by
the existing penal statute. In so fan
as the bill tends to encourage the ten
Idency to boycott the socalled "scabs. .
because they have the manhood to stand
alone upon their God given rights. The
workingman has the rights of any other
citizen. No more. But he would op-
pose the bill at any rate because il
was a repetition of the penal statutes
Taylor said there are serious doubts
as to the efficacy of the present law
| He would vote for the measure, be-
l
the workingmen. but of the people in
general. He believed that the propos-
ed law would give protection TO mer
who had not been able to secure protec-
ton in the courts.
Booth, Of Salt Lake moved to amend
by repeating sections 4,551 to 4,555 in
elusive, compiled laws Carried. The
bill then passed by a vote of to 4.
