the little rotten borough-he may have
meant pocket borough-of Nevada,
with a population about the total Of
Salt Lake city, had the law in force
with good effect Wyoming, Nebraska,
Colorado and Kansas, the place where
Glen Miller comes from. it even has it.
The expense was nominal. The judges
have to serve any way. A booth can
be built for a dollar and half. I

Allison. Il mean a voting BOOTH
Booth got back at Allison when he
secured the floor All the time the bill
has been on the table. the senator who
| is the father of the measure has sat
| idly by and has no. endeavored to Sc
cure any information for the benefit of
the senate. He had nothing to offer on
| the cost of the operation of the meas
IRE, and it was due to the public that
some figures be produced ere action
was taken.
The number of judges was increased
under this system and the cost of
booths and of the printing by the state
of the tickets and cards of instruction
/ and such other matters all added to
| the bill
Sutherland poured oil on the troubled
waters by speech in favor of the bill
and mildly argumentative way Of
suggesting a compromise, which was
agreed to after three or four motions
and amendments had been offered and
withdrawn; so the bill will come up
Friday In the meantime the senators
| are figuring out the following problem:
IF there are $4,000 voters in Utah
and three judges can poll 250 votes I'M
der the Australian system in one day
how much will the operation of the law
cost if there are three booths required
at each poll and one booth costs $1.75?"
ANTI-PooLING LAW.
H. B. No. 70, being a substitute for
S. B. No Sc, prohibiting the formation
of trusts, pools and combinations,
passed without struggle as concerns
use Of language. But to the surprise
of all present, Mr.. President, Senator
zundel and Mr.. Snow voted in the
negative. Mr. Evans asked to be ex-
cused from voting and Messrs. Barnes,
Jones and Warner were absent. The
bill passed by vote of IL ayes and 3
nays. 1t is possible that the votes in
the negative were inspired by fear
that the bill will operate adversely to
the interests of the farmers.
