Bill for tho Adoption of the Aus,
tralian Ballot
INTRODUCED in THE SENATE
ONE OF THE LONGEST MEASURES
YET OFFERED.
Much Business Disposed of in the
HOuse-The Bill Appropriating
$500 to Militiaman Mcdonald
Passed - Contingent Expenses
One of FergusOn's Labor Meas
ures Goes Through.

Senator Allison yesterday introduced
! in the senate a bill for an act for the
adoption of the Australian ballot sys-
TEN in Utah. The bill is very leng-
thy one covering forty-two pages Of
! typewriter manuscript. 1t provides
| for the adoption of the system which
arranges the names of all candidates
of political parties under appropriate
emblems and DEGREES that no person
/ shall be voted for who has not been
nominated by a convention of a politi-
cal party. Provided that a candidate
for a state Office can be nominated
and placed on the ticket at the request
of 500 citizens; a city or county can
didate at the request of fifty and a
candidate for an office in a district by
100.
In other respects the bill is similar
to the system of the states surround
balloting are so familiar to readers
that an extended dissertation is deemed
unnecessary.
County Attorney Whittemore has
bill which will be introduced in few
| days, said bill being for an act for the
government of counties in Utah. 1t
will be a very lengthy document, COW
ering, so he states. 900 pages of manu-
script. This bill is expected to- keep
the solons working for a time.
The house succeeded in cleaning up
more business yesterday than on any
previous day of the session.
AlliSon's silver memorial bobbed up
during the afternoon, and during the
few minutes it was considered in COM
mittee of the whole, the blue pencil
was used with good effect. Five meas
ures received the final sanction of the
house, the memorial praying congress
to annex certain portions of Arizona
to Utah, a committee substitute for H.
B. No. II, authorizing justices of the
peace in cities of the first class to hold
court any place in the city; H. B. No
80, appropriating $4,000 for contingent
expenses; H. B. No. 4, appropriating
$500 to David Mcdonald the militia
man who was so badly injured some
ten months ago, and H. B. No. 26, a
labor measure, introduced by Ferguson
of Carbon There was comparatively
little debate on these measures. But
three bills were introduced, and only
two of these are of special importance.
One was offered by Condor end is in
tended to prevent illtreatment of chill
dren The other was introduced by
Bolitho, establishing board of park
commissioners in incorporated cities.

TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES.

The house went into committee of
the whole to consider H. B. 70 with
Lewis in the chair.
The result was g. recommendation
that it pass, which it did when the ayes
and nays were called for after third
reading.
There was some little opposition to
the bill in committee but the Repub-
lican majority did not dare to turn it
down with the Democrats all faVoring
it. AS passed it reads:
Be it enacted by the legislature of the
state of Utah, That it shall be unlaw-
full for any individual or member of
any firm, or agent, officer of employee
of any company or corporation to pre-
vent or attempt to prevent, employees
from forming, joining and belonging
to any lawful labor organization, and
any such individual, member agent,
officer or emplOye that coerces or at
tempts to coerce employees by dis
charging or threatening to discharge
from their employ or the employ of
any firm, company or corporation, be-
cause of their connection with such
lawful organization shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
shall be fined in any sum not exceed
ing three hundred dollars $4,000 or be
imprisoned for not more than six
months, or both, in the discretion of the
court

MiIeage Test Case.

Quo WarTant0 Against McNally-
sIiIeage Test Case.
Attorney General Bishop filed infor-
NATION in the supreme court on quo
waranto proceedings against Probate
Judge McNally. In the information
the fact of the issuance of the state
hood proclamation en- January 4 is set
out and that by the provisions of the
constitution probate proceedings are
committed to the judges of the dis
trict courts; that prior to the adoption
of the constitution Judge NIcNally was
appointed probate judge for Salt Lake
county by the president of the United
States and Vas acting as such at the
date Of the admission of the territory
10 statehood. 1t is further set out that
by section 9, article q of the schedule
10 the constitution Of the state of Utah
il is provided that when the state is
admitted to the union the records of
the probate court in each county, upon
the expiration Of the term of office of
the probate Judge on the second Mon
day in January. 1896, shall pass into
the jurisdiction of the district court,
but that Notwithstanding these pro-
visions Judge McNally claims that he
is entitled to hold the office until the
expiration Of The term of two years
lpI WHICH ne WAS appointed DS the
president of the United States, which
would be about a year from this date
and that Judge McNally withholds the
office and franchises from the district
judges.
Plaintiff demands Judgment that
there is no such Office as that of pro-
bate judge Of Salt Lake county: that
the respondent is not entitled to exer-
else any Of the functions of district
- -
he be Ousted from said Office.
The hearing was SCI for January %.

selectmen of Salt Lake county, has
entered suit in the supreme court
against c. E. Stanton, county clerk,
for writ of mandate directing Mr.
Stanton to issue a warrant to the
plaintiff for SIC, the amount of an &C
count for mileage alleged to be due the
plaintiff by the county and duly
audited and passed by the county
court
The COMPLAINT sets out that the
plaintiff rendered services to the
county for which under the law. he is
entitled to compensation; that his bill
was audited and passed by the county
court on January 80 but that the
county clerk refuses to issue the war
rant.
An alternative writ of mandate was
issued made returnable January 81.
Christopherson's bill is for mileage
and in view of the construction Of the
law by Judge Merritt the selectmen
have no right to charge mileage ex-
cept for going from their residences
to the county building once at the be-
ginning of each of the four annual
terms of the county court. This is in
tended for a test case and there are
thousands of dollars depending on the

AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
THE HOUSE.

The house went into committee Of
the whole Immediately the prelimina-
ries of opening were passed, to consider
H. B. AZ, which was set as a special
order for 2:30. The bill is in the ma
ture of an amendment to the existing
law covering assessments, and is in
tended to enable the collection of taxes
upon herds of stock owned in other
states which are wintered in Utah, and
from which the state derives no reve-
nue.. Inasmuch as the bill was not
printed certain of the members thought
they we're not prepared to act upon IT,
and the committee accordingly arose
and reported recommending the bill be
referred to the committee on ways and
means, which report was adopted by
tee house.
A message from the senate an
nounced the desire of that body for a
conference committee to consider S. B.
A. being the one with reference to the
manner of organizing and conducting
the supreme court, which has occupied
so much time in both branches; that
the senate members had been appoint
ed, and asking immediate action by the
house. Critchlow, Robinson of Willard
and Egan were appointed.
CLAIMS COMMITTEE.
The committee on claims reported
that joint meetings of the senate and
house claims committees will in future
be held regularly every Tuesday and
Thursday.
A message from the governor was
received submitting the annual report
of the board of equalization.
The judiciary committee reported a
substitute for H. B. II relative to the
duties of justices of the peace. The re-
