A BREEZE
Johnson introduced a resolution to
make the compensation of the page "
per day. Powers supported it. Allen
said he would be against the resolu-
ton, as he would not be in favor OF
giving out the public money.
Varian raised the point of order that
the resolution was not in order.
Powers said the gentlemen on the
other side had been in favor OF grant
ing every conceivable bounty, but were
not willing to give adequate compensa-
ton to boy who had done more than
any other officer of the House in the
performance of his duty
Varian made an insulting remark
about demagoguery and Powers re-
sented it, telling the gentleman from
Salt Lake that he could not bulldoze
the minority.
The consideration of the resolution
was ruled out of order.
ALLEN AT IT.
Allen took the floor in behalf Of the
for the capitol building.
He said the local arguments that had
been made were utterly unworthy OF
members. Salt Lake is a part OF the
territory. 1t is admitted that if Salt
Lake does not prosper the territory

will not prosper the city will not Ihey
