ton to reconsider the vote by which
The report of the committee on ae-
counts and expenditures was adopt

had been hired and should be paid.
But the servant is not greater than
the master The clerks should take
their chances with the members, Il
they so desired. He was willing to

nav the officers out Of the govern
ment's appropriation had been in
serted in She report by trick. The
members did not understand what
was being done.
Hart, of Cache, said the matter was
small. There was no trickery. If
members did not understand, it was
their own fault More time had been
spent over the matter than the COM
pensation would amount to.
Barnes said it was too late TO
study economy. That should have |
been considered seven weeks ago. He |
wanted the clerks paid honorably, !
and what was left divided.
Evans's motion was defeated.

Kerr. Wants Concentration.
Kerr said he was in favor Of union
OF the college with the university. He
had visited the leading colleges in
Canada md the United States and in
vestigated the question. He had con-
Guided that il was best that all the
institutions of higher learning should
be concentrated at one point
Goodwin asked if it would not be
better TO maintain the normal school
kerr answered that if the state
were rich objections TO separation
,1-o,,ld he removed IL some extent
Heretofore, however, our public in
stftutions have been maintained
largely out OF the public credit. But
under the state they must be sup
norted by taxes, because it will take
several years to secure any returns
PROM the land grants. The burden
viii bear heavily on the people. and
from q financial point of view the in
stitutions should be united on one
site.
