There was a breeze over this. 1t was
moved that the proposition go to the
committee on legislative.
EichnOr was up in arms at once. AS
member of that committee he most
strenuously objected to such refer
ence. He wanted the thing to go to
the committee on schedule.
Roberts as strongly objected to that,
saying the committee on schedule had
enough on it's hands in trying to deter
mine how to put down drunkenness
and some other committee should take
charge of those who are already drunk
ards. He did not care what committee
took charge of the proposition, but the
committee on schedule should be re-
lieved. The latter got the reference.

Thurman Wants Action.
Thurman moved that when the con-
vention adjourn it be until 1920 on
Monday. He said the same proposition
had been included in resolution intro
duced few days before. He had ex-
pected that an immediate report could
be made but nothing had been heard.
It was foolish, in his opinion, for the
convention to proceed in such a man
ner as that which had characterized
its sessions for several days. But few
sections of the bill of rights had been
disposed of. At the rate of progress it
was making the convention would fin
ish in about five years. He had fig
ured the thing out. Oaughter)
Varian made some very warm re-
marks on what he called Thurman's
uncalled-for remarks on the committee
on rules. He opposed the meeting Mon
day morning on the ground that it
ings.
Thurman disclaimed any intention to
reflect on the committee on rules. How
ever, he still thought progress should
be made.
BY a vote of As to 43 Thurman's mo-
ton was laid on the table.

Evans, of Weber-Now I would sug-

voted to table my resolution withdraw
their votes. daughter among the
Democrats).
Howard, of Emery, offered a resolu-
ton to fine delegates 81 for each days
absence without proper excuse. On
motion of Varian this was Indefinitely
postponed.9
The convention at 3:18 went into COM
mittee of the whole on the bill of
rights. Squires was again called to
the chair.
Anderson had an amendment IN
serted in section II giving laymen the
right to appear for themselves in civil
cases. Eichnor warned him, however,
that such action would yield we'll to
the lawyers as they will have to be
called in to get these laymen out of
the difficulties in which they will en-
tangle themselves. Cannon said he
was willing to try the plan anyway,
believing if the laymen found it I'M
profitable to do their own work they
would have judgment enough to cease.
To Protect the Accused.
There was some discussion as to how
far it would be wise to extend the pro-
vision reading; land in no instance
shall any accused person, before final
judgment, be compelled to advance
or fees to secure the rights
herein guaranteed Both Evans and
Varian endeavored to amend this pro-
vision so as to make it certain that
attorneys fees for accused persons
with money should not be paid by the
state. Varian, in the course of his re-
marks. gave some strong criticism on
the present system, in which a poor
devil without a dollar in his pocket is
stopped from making an appeal to the
higher courts on account of his in
ability to pay the costs that are taxed
up against him. 1t was agreed that a
man should not be compelled to pay
costs until he had taken his case to
the highest tribunal and been declared
guilty. Maloney said the article fully
provided for this just as the committee
had drafted it. On the vote both
Evans and Varian were voted down
and the committee was sustained.
Van Horn endeavored to broaden the
scope of the provision requiring that
witnesses against a prisoner should
confront him so as to allow deposit
tons to be taken as provided Wy law.
He was voted down overwhelmingly.
Several other minor amendments
were proposed but they were generally
voted down. the committee being
victorious all along the line.
