was being MADE IN the wrong time
/ that a vote must be taken and an
nounced ere such action should b.
had. This saved the man whom tn,
presidency fits like the paper on sht
wall a great deal of embarrassment
for he was about to state the appea
| when Allison came to his rescue
Candland Withdrew his appeal and {
motion to table the amendments wa:
! lost. A motion to make the cOmDen
sation 81 per day was then The subjec
of great deal Of conversation. II
fact the senate strongly reminded one
Of the debates in the old city coure il
Evans objected to the 81 per day ar
| rangement- He was satisfied thai
men could be found who would be will
! ling to work for 50 per day There
were plenty of them in Utah county
who would be glad to get a job al
! that rate. Besides this, he thought {
good bright boy could be had who
would be willing to work at thai
| figure
Allison held that the senate could
not state to the governor who he
should employ to do his work. Two
| dollars per day was not enough. The
! executive might choose a man from
Logan and ST. George and he could
not live on this amount. 1t was just
To this Evans retorted that there
| were plenty of men who would Nolk
for that figure and save S1.25 per day
out of it.
Where can a man get board and
lodging in this city for IS cents per
day?' inquired Allison.
In every block in this city," was
the reply.
"Mr. President said Allison. sit
is a well-known fact that member
of the legislature cannot get into a
private house in this CITY,
will the senator permit question? ''
Yes, sir
HAS that been the experience of the
senator?"
Whereat everybody laughed.
Barnes declared he came from a
community where the people did not
get large salaries and they did not
want him to vote the peoples money
away He thought 81 per day was
enough for a service of this kind.
Candland agreed with him.
The So per day amendment was lost
and the 81 per day provision also fail
ed to carry, Then the So men recon-
sidered and forced a new vote which
resulted in So being established as the
compensation. The noes on this ques-
ton were: Barnes, Candland, Evans,
Mckay and Warner.
After the passage of the resolution
the point was raised that the bill had
not been read three times and the
senate was in a quandary until Evans
moved the records show that the rules
were suspended on the passage of the
resolution, which was agreed to with
cheerfulness by the Republicans who
were very confused tho fI1rD fairs
had taken.
LAND TITLES.
Miller of this city, offered a resolu-
ton providing for the appointment
of a committee of five on land titles,
which he said was an important mat
ter, inasmuch as the Torrens bill was
before the senate for action and should
be carefully considered. This bill, if
passed, would involve the property in
terests of Utah which amounted to
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
a committee should spend a great deal
of time in discussing the measure
Booth was in favor of referring the
matter to the committee on judiciary,
as it was question which ought to
receive the consideration of a large
Miller's motion prevailed and the fol-
lowing were appointed as the commit
tee: Glen Miller, Senators Snow, War
ner, Allison and Chidester.
QUARTERS FOR OFFICERS.
At this point, in conformity with the
action of the senate on Saturday last.
the chair appointed Allison, Barnes and
Candland> committee to confer with
a like body from the house with the
county officers relative to quarters for
the officers of the state, during the
session.
The chair called attention to the alb
sence of Mr.. Chambers and asked what
rule the senate desired to adopt in the
way of granting leave of absence. IT
was decided that the president have
the sole power to excuse members for
urgent reasons, action being taken on
motion of Senator Warner.
HOUSE BILL 5.
House bill No. 5, relative to the fees
charged by various county officers and
directing that they be paid into the
treasury was called up and read a sec
ond time. Sutherland moved the rules
be suspended and the bill read a third
lime and placed upon it's final passage.
Allison objected until such time as
he legislature should provide some
means for the payment of these Off
oloyed help in large numbers; that
here was no likelihood of a salary bill
being passed for some time and that
t would be an injustice to these peo-
Die to pass this bill right now. Jones
agreed with Allison, arguing that thev
would be left without any means of
Sutherland and Miller spoke in favor
If the bill.
Evans rose to point of order that
ne motion was not a debatable one
IND the chair sustained the point. The
notion to suspend was lost by vote
If 10 to Z.
Sutherland called for a third read
ng of the bill, but a motion to ad-
ourn to 1870 prevailed and the senate
adjourned.
