Capital Fight Again.
The first fight came up over the To-
cation of the capital as filed by the
committee of the whole. Corfman. of
Provo. raised a gale of laughter by
out as the location and Provo" be in.
serted. He said that this was no new
proposition. Provo has often presen-
| ted its claims on this line to the leg
/ l5iature. To renew them before the
convention was proper. The claim is
| just.
Corfmans motion gained but limited
support and Boyer renewed the fight
by moving that appropriations for the
]
ten years instead of five.
Kicked Like Il Football.
Kimbal.. of Weber, on the general
proposition. opposed leaving the loca-
| ton of the capital to be kicked around
by the legislature like a football. Salt
Lake is now the center OF wealth and
population and, by present appearan-
ces. will remain so. for a time, at least.
He saw no reason for limiting the
right to appropriate for the state cap
itnl. He had been In two or three
legislatures and had learned by ex-
perlence that there Is no danger OF
Salt Lake getting undeserved appro-
priations. Oaughter)
Varian argued for settlement of
the question. He said until that
should be effected the state would be
deprived of the extensive grants of
land which have been made by Con-
gress.

Located at ogden.
Kimball, of Weber, moved that the
institute for the deaf, dumb, and
blind be located in Ogden. He said
a number of states have already de-
rprr,,ined TO send their children TO <the
institute in this territory and it is inn
uortanL tina snail be located on the
transcontinental lines of railway. The
CITY had a good site for the instltu-
ton which would be -commodious and
suitable.
Iaurtz Larsen moved that the in.
str,lstlon be located in the county or
Sanpete, the exact place to be deter
mined by the legislature. He SAID II
was right that the smaller counties
should have some institutions. Inc
larger cities get enough anyway Inc
$50, 900 all stays in Salt Lake, as well
as most of the money besides. The
smaller counties need to be built up
and prosper.
Maeser said county and community
claims should not be considered. the
welfare of unfortunate deaf, dumb anQ
blind should be first taken into ac-
count. They should be located where
they would have the greatest number
of advantages. Sanpete county could
not offer such advantages as Ogoen'
and he would favor the latter Locations
SauDetc county
Iund spoke for Sanpete county. He
said it has population and is easy OF
access. 1t has advantages for the I'M
fortunates. Necessities of life are
cheaper than in most of the other parts
of the territory. The water is clear
and there is plenty for such an institu-
ton. More than that there is little or
no wind.
Kimball, of Weber (dryly)-Are the
delegates from Sanpete good represen-
tatives of that condition? Oaughter).
Lund-Well. I guess there is less
wind since we came to Salt Lake.
Hammond, of San Juan argued for
Ogden. He said he had moved to San
Juan from there. He wanted the thing
settled. In Ogden they have a build
ing. Sanpete would have such uncer-
tainty that there would be bad feelings
among the Saints-or sinners.
Kerr said 1t was in the interest OF
the deaf, dumb and blind to locate
them and not leave the question to the
legislature. The problem should not
be as to which county should get the
institution as a matter of division, but
one as to the interests of the unfor-
Inmates, as we'll as Of the state. Ogden
is much better for such an institute.
Besides the state will be saved about
S1OO, 900 because of the buildings already
erected.
Farr said he would like to see every
county have something, even San Juan.
But Ogden is much better as location
for the institute. Therefore he would
have to vote to disappoint his Sanpete
friends.
Ogden tn eWinner.
