Mr.. Cannon then took the floor IN
defense of the bill He declared the
measure would encourage the industry.
Utah could raise finer silk than any
other country in the world. AS Utah
wool was in demand on account of its
quality. so Utah silk would be in de-
mand if the quantity of cocoons was
increased. Hitherto the supply of silk
had been limited, but this bill would
increase it Mr.. Cannon favored the
encouragement of the finer grades of
employment. 1t will benefit the peo-
pie more than anything which can be
done. Give the Frenchman a pound
of cotton and he will produce a fabric
worth 80 cents. while the Englishman
or American obtains but to cents
i is this kind of work which has made
France a rich and powerful nation.
However. he did not care to have ac-
ton on the bill until the presence of
Senator Jones, and moved a postpone
ment.
Evans amended by making the post
pcnement indefinite, which failed, and
Cannon's motion prevailed.
Senator Jones came in later on and
Mr.. Allison inquired why $1,000 should
be required for the commission.
The answer was, for instructing, for
reels, etc.
But if the state pays bounty,
ought not the party receiving the same
pay these expenses?'
Mr.. Warner moved to strike out sec
ton 6. which appropriates the $1,000
mentioned.
This motion was lost.
Warner then moved to strike out
section I. which appropriates $4,000,
which also lost.
Allison moved to strike out $1,000 in
section 6 and insert $500.
The motion lost.
Mr. Warner amended the bill by pro-
viding that not more than three mem
bers of the commission shall belong to
the same political party.
Il shall object" said Allison, be
cause the Democrats will be- paired in
paying bounties."
Cannot the Democrats watch the
Republicans pay out this money!" re-
torted Warner.
Il withdraw my objections said
Allison.
Warmers amendment prevailed.
The bill then passed. Ayes, II; nays,
"A strict party vote.

ing no because they objected to the

prises; that there should be equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none.
