bill, was taken up after an effort of
Mr. Critchlows to get the revenue
bill up ahead of 1t had been defeated.
A pending amendment by Mr.. Howard
to strike out bhe provision authorizing
constables to attend round up and
sell mavericks was voted down and
! the bill passed Messrs Howard and
! Thompson of Sanpete being the only
ones voting in the negative.
| Mr.. Gushing gave notice that he
would, at the proper time. move to

WANTED TO ABOLISH RECON
/ SIDERATIONS.
| Mr. Sevy offered a resolution sus-
| pending rule % for the rest of the
session, which provides for recon
! sideration. Mr.. Nebeker of Rich said
F! he thought there was more need for
the rule these last days than there mas
/ been in the past. The resolution was
then rejected.
Mr.. Critchlow moved again TO take
up the revenue bill. Mr. Smoot raised
the point that the insane asylum bill
was down as a special order and had
the right of way He allowed the bill
| to go over, however, upon the house
agreeing it should come up at 10 o'clock
today The revenue bill was then
taken up upon the report of the special
committee to which it had been on
the previous day referred. The amend
ments proposed by special committee
were read and the report of the COM
mittee recommending the passage of
the bill was adopted. Numerous
amendments of minor nature were
made by consent after which roll call
was ordered. Mr.. Stevens was not
ready TO go to vote, however. He had
strenuously opposed the adoption of
the amendment the day before for
bidding the payment of taxes with
warrants and at this time moved to
strike out the section.
Mr.. Critchlow raised the point of
order that the provision had been in
serted by vote of the house, hence the
motion should be to reconsider. Mr.
Stevens changed his motion to one. to
reconsider the vote by which the
amendment had been adopted but was
again confronted by point of order
by Mr.. Lewis which was that such
motion had been made the previous
day and voted down. This was the
of which the friends of this
proposition had awaited them-
selves at the time the amendment
was adopted to put it beyond any
reasonable likelihood of unfavorable
reconsideration. Mr.. Ferguson of Car
bon had noticed a motion to reconsider
and Mr.. Lewis had so moved while
there was no doubt of the friends of
the provision being in the majority,
and the motion had then been voted
down, thus putting the much desired
provision in a position to require q
two-thirds vote to get it out of the
bill.
Mr.. Stevens being informed of the
status of the proposition was very
much nettled at finding himself cir
cumvented and insisted that motion
to strike out was in order. He de-
manded a ruling of the chair and when
the speaker held with the friends of
the measure that the only way of
reaching the provision was by suspen-
sion of the rules. Mr. Stevens APP
pealed to the house which sustained |
the speaker. Mr.. Stevens, driven to the
last extremity, made the hopeless mo-
ton to suspend the rules which, of |
course, failed for lack of two-thirds |
majority The bill was then placed |
on final passage passing by this vote: !
