! Booth moved an amendment to the
bill providing for a uniform fee of 81
per Incorporation and 10 cents per folio
Of one hundred words after the first
ten thousand, but withdrew it after
wards.
The bill was passed and in substance
is as follows:
AN act authorizing county clerks
and notaries public to take acknowl-
edgements Of articles of incorporation
OF private corporations, organized I'M
der the provisions of chapter 1, part
4, Of the compiled laws of 1883
Section one provides that articles of

ness. And the said articles. when so

OFFICES FOR OFFICERS.
House concurrent resolution No. s.,
! providing for the appointment of a
/ joint committee of members of the
house and senate, whose duty it shall
be to provide quarters for the governor,
/ secretary Of state. attorney-g
auditor and treasurer and the supreme
court and the justices thereof, was
then called up.
Allison, representing the committee
having the matter in charge, reported
that the county selectmen had been APP
preached and had made a figure of
So. 800 per annum, which the members
believed too high. He asked that the
matter go over until today. In this
connection Allison volunteered the in
formation that as Salt Lake City had
| the world by the tail with a down hill
pulp as regards the capitol, he thought
it should furnish these offices free of
charge. If the legislature would move
the seat of government to Ogden he
would agree that the officers should
be furnished with quarters gratis.
This assertion had a warm effect up
on Glen Miller Of this city, who took
the senator from Ogden to- task for
his utterances. He, the speaker, did
not claim to represent Salt Lake City,
although he was elected from that
place. He was there in the interests
of the entire people who had decided
Salt Lake should have the capitol. 1t
was unfair to say this city ought to
give the Offices free Of charge. The
city Of Ogden might just as well be
charged with the task of furnishing
free apartments for the reform school,
or the school for the deaf. The city
and county offer was reaSona bic
enough. The apartments ought to be
consistent with the dignity of the state
Allison responded with a ocular ex-
preston concerning the deaf mutes,
saying they were una bic to express
appreciation Of the quarters given
them, the statement being foreign to
the subject matter, which elected a
whisper from some one in the room to
the effect that if the senator from We
Der were a graduate Of the institution
referred to, matters would run more
smoothly.
Evans thought the price too high
The dignity of the state consisted in
its ability to pay its debts He did not
want to go on pilinG UP bills and
plunging the commonwealth into heavy
expense. He cited the fact that while
the members were receiving 81 per day
and believed it little enough, there
were those in the outside counties, yes
and Utah county was one, where that
figure was regarded as a magnificent
one.
Booth thought he had scored a point
when he replied that Utah was a Dem
ocratic county, but Evans choked him
off with an allusion to the Mckinley
bill and the long statesman faded away.
Miller offered a resolution to the eff
feet that the committee be authorized
to contract for the apartments men,
toned, which resulted in the chair
calling Senator Warner to preside while
he spoke against the motion. Not the
merits, however, but as to the exped-
iency He thought the governor and
other state officers should be provided
with good rooms, and in the magnif1-
cent building where they met was@the
place to get them. The rental was
none too high, considering the amount
of money which had been expended
upon it.
MiIiers motion failed to carry and
the matter will be taken up in commit
tee.

memorial and the tariff memorial were
reported and sent to the governor for
his signature, after which the senate
adjourned

At the opening of the house session
