amendments to S. B. No. 81 which had
! passed the house and been further
amended by the senate doing away
with the president of the state univer-
| sity as member eX-officio of the board
| of regents.
Speaker Denny was interested and
called Mr.. Bolitho to the chair while he
i took the floor. He was in favor of the
motion for the reason that provision
is made in the bill for normal schools
and in view OF his bill to establish
such a school at Fort Cameron he
wished the bill withheld till his bill
could be considered The motion to
reconsider prevailed and the bill then
recommitted.

The counties bill was taken up again

of Mr.. Critchlow's being the first thing
to be considered. The proposed amend
ment, as heretofore stated made 10 per
| cent of the cost of criminal prosecu-
tions before committing magistrates
and in district courts, a county charge
Mr.. Mansfield argued against the
amendment, holding that if the state
is to bear any part of the expense it
should stand the whole.
Mr.. Clark was opposed to the amend
ment and Mr.. Morrison contended that
the counties should bear at least
small portion of such costs.
Speaker Denny once more took the
floor calling Mr.. Snedaker to the chair
His position was antagonistic to the
amendment.
Mr.. Thompson of Sanpete favored
the amendment in a qualified way.
SAVORED OF A CAUCUS.
The question on the amendment. upon
! being put resulted in it's rejection the
| question recurring upon the amendments
offered some days ago by Mr.. Mansfield
to which Mr.. CritchloWS was sIIbsi-
diary question. The vote by which Mr.
Critchlow's amendment lost caused that
gentleman to say that inasmuch as it
was quite apparent the majority of the
house had held a. conference and de-
cfded upon the amendments which were
to be allowed to go into the BILL it would
be saving of time in debate if the
gentleman would submit those amend
ments to the house and have them acted
on without further parley.
Mr.. Critchlow's remarks were directed
at Mr.. Mansfield, and that gentleman
arose to inform the gentleman that all
the amendments he had any knowledge
| of having been decided upon were those
proposed by him.
Mr.. Robinson misunderstood Mr.. Critch-
low either Internationally or otherwise,
and rose to state that it had not been
of the majority of the house. but of a
portion of both sides
Critchlow continued to speak of the
country gentlemen having caucussed to
carry their points in rather an ironicaI
strain, when Mr.. Nebeker of Rich, arose
and calling the attention of Mr.. Critch-
| low to a number of typewriter amends
ments which had a few minutes before
been laid on the desks. asked do you
see those?'
Yes" replied Mr.. Critchlow.

going in and you can't help yourselves
There was no further attempt to hide
