much needed. Gibson of Uintah
thought the bill should be printed be-
fore being considered. Wen have

we don't know what we're voting on"
RULES SUSPENDED.
The motion to suspend the rules pre-
vailed as did CritchloW'S motion to
go into committee of the whole. Nebe-
ker of Rich was called to the chair
and for the first time a proper pro-
cedure in committee of the whole was
adopted. He directed the reading of
the bill by sections and called for
amendments at the conclusion of each.
No amendments were offered and as
the desire for further consideration
was general, Lewis of Salt Lake moved
that the committee report to the house
a recommendation that the bill be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee. The
motion carried and the bill was so re-
ported and referred after Lewis mo-
ton that the committee arise
A message from the senate an
nounced the passage of s. 3. No. 9
creating the office of deputy state
treasurer and asked immediate and
favorable consideration by the house.
On motion the rules were suspended
and the bill read the first and second
times and will come up on third read
ing today.
DEMOCRATS STEAL A MARCH
S. J. NJ. No / by Allison. the silver
memorial, was the next matter to be
considered. 1t was brought up by the
reading of message from the senate
announcing its passage by that body.
Nebeker Dem), of Rich, was on his
feet instantly to move that all rules
interfering with the immediate pas
sage of the memorial be suspended;
that it be read the first, second and
third times and placed upon final pas
SAGE
The Republican side was slow to
comprehend the true inwardness of
Nebeker's move and did not tumble
until. by consent, it had been read
the first and second times. The pro-
ceeding was not exactly regular but
was so considered and the memorial
was in a fair way TO get through the
house in a hurry when it dawned upon
Critchlow that the Democrats were |
stealing the Republicans thunder by
getting the credit for engineering the
passage of the memorial through the
house. He accordingly moved that the |
memorial be referred to the committee !
on memorials This suited the Demo- |
Gratis quite as well as having it pass ]
under their motion for it put the Re |
publicans upon record as opposing or |
delaying a movement in favor of sill /
yer, but Nebeker was cute and was /
equal to the occasion. He Immediately /
made a point of order that his mo- !
ton to suspend the rules was still |
pending, and that CritchlOw was out |
Of order He insisted on his motion |
being put and called for a roll call |
which resulted as follows:
Condor, Curtis, Cazier, Egan, Fergu-
son of Carbon. Gibson. Harris, Heiner,
Lowrey, Morrill,, Monsoon,
Vaughan, Murdoch, Mansfield, Nebe-
ker of Rich. Robinson. Snedaker,
5eavy. Sorenson, Thorn, Thompson of
sanpete, Wilson, Speaker-27.
No-Bolitho, Critchlow, Gushing,
Clark, Ferguson of Salt Lake. Lewis.
Shafer, Taylor, Thompson Of
Absent or not voting-S.
The motion to suspend had carried,
for the reason that by the time the. vote
was taken. the Republican side of the
house had taken a tumble to what
was up, and strove to again rob the De-
of their victory. Not all of the
majority would put themselves on record
as opposed to or delaying the measure.
Only ten of then were willing to appear
IN that light.
Critchlow then moved to amend by sub
shutting the word to- for land" max
ng the memorial read "at the ratio of
sixteen to one instead of Sixteen and
1ne."
TAYLOR TRIES TO HEDGE.
