!
case of Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Uni
i versity of Chicago and Stanford uni
versity, founded by millionaires, the
| leading universities of the country
were founded with much less than this
amount No such tendency to found
| colleges has as yet been developed
among our local millionaires as to
Justify our legislating upon the theory
! that millions instead of thousands
must be contributed before an incor-
| poration can be formed.
But whether adequate or otherwise,
/ the requirement of this bill is one
hundred thousand dollars greater than
that of the present law. AS 1t is now
an institution with no funds at all
can incorporate.
LAS to the last objection that the
present law is sufficient, we respect
| fully submit that we have by unani-
nous vote of both houses determined
that it is not This bill provides a
different method and one by which
the wishes. requirements and cendi-
tons of the original donor can be en-
forced without'failure, whereas, under
the present law, they might be disre-
garied.
In conclusion, we beg to report that
representations have been made ito
your committee by the president of one
of our colleges that arrangements have
been perfected to secure a large sum
of money for building purposes, in case
the institution can incorporate under
this bill, but that the parties hesitate
to loan any institution incorporated I'M
der our present statute. So that there
seems to be practical and pressing
need for its enactment
we therefore urge the passage of
this BILL
Consideration of the report was laid
over until 2:30 this afternoon.

THIRD READING.
There being nothing further on the
order till third reading was reached,
the bond bill was taken up on third
reading, after the adoption of an
amendment to obviate the objections
for which the bill was recommitted
until Saturday, was passed, Ghe vote
being as follows:
Ayes-Beard, Bolitho, Bernhisel,
Condor, Curtis, Critchlow, Gushing,
Cazier, Clark, Egan, Ferguson of Car
bon, Gibbs, Harris, Heiner, Lewis,
Morrison, Morrill,, Nebeker of Salt
Lake, Nye, Radditz, Robinson, Stevens,
Snedaker, Shafer, Seavy, Taylor,
Thorn. Thompson of Sanpete, Thomp-
son of Willard, Wilson, Mr.. Speaker
81.
Nays-Andrus, Gibson, Howard, Lar
sen, Lennon, Mansfield, Smoot, Soren-
sons Absent, 6.
Mr.. Andrus registered a vigorous
protest against the passage of the bill.
He was in favor of such measure so
far as the funding of Indebtedness and
refunding all bonds was concerned, but
he could not find it in his hsiart to vote
to issue bonds for the paying of boun-
ties.
The bill, as it now stands creates a
board of loan commissioners composed
of the governor, secretary of state and
attorney general, who are empowered
to bond the state for the purpose of
meeting casual deficits, failures of rev.
enue, payment of territorial indebted
ness assumed by the state and for re-
funding territorial bonds outstanding.
The loan ito be negotiated by the board
may not exceed 100000, and must be
in the form of negotiable coupon bonds,
which cannot run longer than twenty
years and the interest may not ex-
coed 4 per cent. The board is empow
cred to refund the unpaid TERRITORIAL
bonds under the same conditions as
are prescribed for making the loan.
EDUCATIONAL BILL
H. B. No. 109, the educational bill,
was next on the order. The consfd-
Grafton developed a strong difference
of opinion as to whether professional
teachers should be granted a life di-
ploma Ito teach within the state upon
certificates from other educational in
situations than the state normal school
and without teachers holding such GER
tificates being required to undergo an
examination. After an extended de-
bate it was decided the examination
should not be required, the vote being
10 to Is.
READING CONTINUED.
The third reading progressed till the
noon hour, at which time Mr.. Nye was
granted consent to have S, B. No. 81,
relating to extending a qualified vote
to mayors of cities of the third class
etc, taken from the pigeon hoe, 20
which it was consigned by ahe house
previous to the passage of Ii. b NO
1872 on the same subject Mr. Nye eX-
pIained that he considered the action
necessary. as the Dill was an lmporeahe
one. and he had been informed that the
house bill was about to expire in the
senate. ..,o
Ths house then took a recess till $50
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The consideration of the educational
bill was resumed when the mouse re-
in the afternoon.
