Senator Allison, the James G. Blaine
of Weber county, dug up. the tomahawl
yesterday and took the war path in
gust of the official wig of Ambassa-
dor Bayard. One Of the first acts Of the
session was the introduction of
resolution by the statesman from the
Junction City demanding in the name
of the people of this brand new COM
monwealth that Bayard be recalled
and placed IN a kindergarten where he
can learn anew the lessons needed to
impress upon the mind the grandeur
OF American institutions"
The resolution is going to pass toe.
One may safely lay a wager of all his
loose simeoleons on that. When ALI
son gets after man, that man is his
meat. It's too bad. Someone ought to
notify Bayard in order that he might
resign and avoid the ignominy OF be
ing fired.
y II is understood that today the
senator from Weber Will send to the
'Secretary's desk q resolution declaring
war. Inasmuch as there are several
nations with whom this country has
lad difficulty of late, the written mo-
ton indicated will not only declare
war against England, Germany. Spain,
Chill and Turkey, but in the language
of Elijah Pogram. " no was made i'm
mortal by Dickens. win start a fight
with the universal airth." The
militia are expected to report as soon
IS The measure passes. ready for ac-
ton with ten days cooked rations and
1, zoe rounds Of ammunition.
After the slaughter of Bayard yester-
day, the senate did a whole lot of busi-
ness. A bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Sutherland, permitting the state
treasurer to appoint a deputy. who
shall be paid by the treasurer himself,
The rules were suspended and the
measure passed.
Sutherland then endeared himself to
the various school ma'amS of the state
oy introducing a bill which provides
they shall receive the same pay as men
of equal merit and grade. We're it not
for the fact that bill has merit. and is
a just and equitable action in itself,
one might be led to presume that
Sutherland was going to be a candi-
date for superintendent of public in
struction or something of the sort at
the next election. 1t is a vote getter,
for the school ma am is now a faction
in politics.
Senator Jones introduced bill for
the creation of a state board of health
and for the collection Of vital statis-
tics This bill is the result of the COM
hined efforts of a number of physi-
clans Of Utah. who have been cudjel-
ing their grey matter for weeks in this
direction The bill is d lengthy one.
but Will be amended in several res
poets without doubt, as it is by no
means perfect measure. This state
ment is not made with a view of de-
tracing from its merits. but as a cold
TACT. 1t is Incomplete in many points.
Candland introduced a bill for the
protection of sheep which is said to
represent the views Of nearly all the
leading sheep men of the state and the
text of Which VIII be found in the re-
port of the proceedings below.
Allison has an important irrigation
measure before the senate which will
be called up later on and which affects
the law now in force very seriously.
The changes proposed are said to meet
the view of many of those who are in
terested in such matters.
