Powers scored a newspaper whicl
had misrepresented the bill by sayIn
that the man who wrote the articl
which said lawyers could hawk clients
property on the streets is so densel
ignorant that he could never get t
the halls of legislation, in fact, canno
take his own suggestions which h
sometimes gives to the legislature. H
did not care about the bill himself, a
he can take care of all such matters
and could rely on the common law.
Warner thought the common lay
gives sufficient protection to tn
lawyers reading from a good authorit
on the question. He thought the hi
| too board in it's provisions. He wa
therefore against it.
Varian said he didn't care a cent 70
the bill but he thought the procedur
of the gentleman a little singular. H
! thought there was a great deal c
misrepresentation regarding the bill
was designed simply to make client
understand they must settle with thei
/ lawyers,
Hubbard said he was against the bill
as he thought it too sweeping in it
provisions and likely to put unsophis
ticated clients in the power of cor
! scienceless lawyers. He thought ther
were some such lawyers.
Powers wanted to know if there wer
not some dishonest clients. daughter
Hatch was in favor of the bill, a

minority report
Powers, as a member of the commi
tee on printing, explained his position
The question, he said, has assumed q
importance that is not to be judge
by the dollars and cents involved
it. The members OF the. committee ha
been assailed in the public prints ar
had been called venal and dishones
One branch of the legislature ha
voted against the committee on prin
ing at the representations of parti,
interested. Even members of IL
House had taken sides against the con
mittee before hearing from it. I
wanted an article read which appeare
in the Deseret News of the 18th. F
said that article charged bad fat
against the members of the committe
; He found several charges contained
the article which ernanated from q
unsuccessful bidder who had shippt
his bid under the door after bids shou
have been closed. He had voted wit
every man on the committee to favr
union offices because men had bee
thrown out of employment by the i
/; PRODUCTION of Linotypes in the new
paper offices.
