Williams said it had been suggested
that the material be used in a museum,
but the establishment of such an in
stitution would be an expense it might

CONTINGENT EXPENSES.
H. B. 12S, entitled an act to provide
for the payment of additional contin-
gent expenses of this Assembly, was
really for the purpose of appropriating
$3.50 for the services of the chaplain.
Williams opposed the bill, on the
grounds that it was unconstitutiona
: to appropriate more than the amount
I designated by Congress. A law is not
made absolutely failure to observe
, it. He cited the ruling of the United
States supreme court in a similar case
proving the illegality of the bill. He
said if a warrant for the amount were
issued, the treasurers duty would be
/ to refuse to pay it. Personally he was
! up the amount, as he appreciated the
: chaplain'S services and thought they
. were worth more than Congress grant
1 ed, but he would be compelled to vote
: against the bill.
Taylor insisted that it was only RICH
: that the appropriation should be made
Z Seaman said he was reluctant to OPP
| pose the measure. The fact that the
extra appropriation was granted by
! former legislatures did not sanctify
l the wrong 1t would have a salutary
, effect in that it would prevent flock
| ing of candidates for the office Tit
: ministers would then be called upon t.
do some praying gratis, if the legis
lature was prayed for.
Booth, of Salt Lake, reminded thu
speaker that the last legislature haC
made the appropriation.
The bill was passed by vote of
: to 3, Williams, Seaman and Hart dis
senting.
