THE BATTLE BEGINS.

Senate bill 80, relating to county
treasurers and making them district
court commissioners, came up on a
majority report favoring the measure
and minority report recommending
the rejection of the same. Sutherland,
Allison and Booth constitute the mi
nority
After several preliminary motions,
the whole question was opened up and
declared by Sutherland to be vicious
and pernicious one. The passage of
the bill means that twenty-seven sub
treasures will be established which,
under the provisions of the measure
could hold in their several vaults at
one time $135,000 of the money of the
state. 1t was in the interest of the
counties outside to enable them to
evade paying the cost of criminal and
civil cases and saddle the burdens on
the state.
Mr.. Chidester defended the measure
and in an earnest effort argued in
favor of the principle laid down. The
country members ought to stand firm
They have already yielded enough
and ought to make a stand for their
rights.
Mr.. Sutherland-I will concede that
perhaps the state should pay one-half
the criminal expense; | would be will
ing to concede that.
will be equally generous, respond
ed Chichester. Il think they should pay
the other half. l believe the state
should pay the entire expense of the
criminal trials"
Senator Allison said the ideas ad-
vanced were to say the least astonish-
ing He understood the speaker last
on his feet was in favor of the state
paying the expenses of committing
magistrates.
There is a sentiment prevailing in
that direction responded Chidester
Allison said such a policy amounted
to nothing more or less than looting the
treasury. He favored each county hav-
ing it's own fees. The sheriff of Weber
collects $4,000 in fees and is paid 81 500.
The surplus is paid into the treasury
OF the state and is Immediately drawn
upon by the treasurer of Garfield coun-
~ to pay jurors and witnesses. This
is principle wrong entirely and which
should not obtain at all. Nevada,
where one can ride all day without see
ing a man, woman or child. except en-
ployees at railway stations, maintains
its own county government. If coun-
ties cannot support themselves let them
come in and ask that they be merged
into others.
Jones spoke against the PLAN Paying
half of certain county officers from the
state treasury was establishing an
unheard of precedent; one which OBJ
tains nowhere else. The state might
as well ask the general government to
pay Utah's expenses as for any county
to ask this state to pay the county's

CORONER ABOLISHED.

This schedule having been fixed Mr..
Allison moved it be, the sense of the
senate to abolish the office of coroner
and that the duties of the place be per-
formed by the sheriff or any justice of
the peace.
Mr.. Sutherland favored abolishing the
office but hardly thought the sheriff
should perform the duty He favored
abolishing coroner's juries also. JUS
t1ce could render verdict as easily as
he could pass judgment after an exam
ination of witnesses.
After various and sundry amend
ments had been suggested. final action
resulted in deciding to abolish the Of
flee of coroner on and after January /
