IL
mad fixed the governors salary at
$1,000 and he had been elected know
ing that was what he was to receive,
hence his secretary's salary should not
be placed at a figure that would allow
him q rake off.
Mr.. Clark did not believe in giving
the governor nor did he think the gov
ernor wanted any.
Mr. Morrison said he had not in his
remarks intended to intimate that the
governor was to receive .'rake off -
Roll call was demanded on Mr. Critch-
lows amendment, which failed on a
tie vote
Mr.. Cazier's amendment also failed
by vote Of so to 10.
STATE LIBRARY.
Mr.. Nye moved to raise the appro-
priation for the state library from ST.
600 to $4,000 and made a strong argu-
ment to show that the smaller figure
would be entirely inadequate to keep
| the library up in anything like a re-
spectacle manner
Mr.. Cazier made a somewhat selfish
and narrow argument against the mo-
ton. He said the gentleman had op-
posed an appropriation of $1,000 for
farmers Institutes and it had been i'm
! possible to get more than $1,000 for
that purpose. Farmers institute
would benefit five-sixths of the people
while but vefy few would ever have
the benefit of the state library. He
| doubted if one citizen of Juab county
would ever enter the library, yet the
gentleman CMr. Nye) would have the
| appropriation raised. He thought ST.
600 ample for a law library for the
/ state if $1,000 was all the farmers in
! stitutes were to receive.
Mr. Nye replied that from the evil
dence before the house it was a ques-
ton If the people OF. Juab county would
ever be benefited by any library. 1t
was certain from the example furn-
ished the house that they never had.
MI. Smoot spoke in favor of the
amendment and $1,000 was inserted
when vote was taken.
Speaker Denny at this point opened
his fight against the bill by moving to
strike out the item of 1,5OO for pur-
CHASING land for the reform school,
stating that bills had come back from
une senate rejected because there was
40 FUNDS with which to meet the APP
preparations they carried
Mr.. Taylor and Mr. Stevens opposed
the motion because, as a business pro-
position, 1t was a good one. Mr. Tay-
lor added besides, THAT the bill pro-
Vlded for manual training school
out as there is no appropriation to be
made for that purpose there would be
nothing for the boys to do if there was
no land to farm
speaker Denny then took the floor
TO score the gentleman who had inst
spoken. Il am surprised" said he ..at
the consistency of some people A few
days ago when a memorial was before
the mouse asking for a gift of land. the
gentlemen voted against it. Now thew
propose to buy land, to spend money
for it when the state is poverty
stricken. Speaker Denny lost his tenn
per when Mr.. Critchlow asked if that
memorial had not passed the house
anu rephed, Yes, but there were GER
t uain votes against it because the land
was not in certain place"
MI Sorensen came back at Mr. Dan-
NY. He. too, was surprised. When a
proposition was up to vote money to
ouy law books the gentleman was very
much in favor of it; not so when tha
hayward youth of the state were to he
provided for. Mr. Sorenson referred
10 MT. Denny's advocacy of the state
library appropriation.
me bin was temporarily laid aside
while the house concurred in senate
amendments to the insane asylum bill
Resuming, Mr.. Ferguson of Salt Lake
moved to reduce the amount to he AL
lowed for payment OF salaries of county
ohlcers from $32, 500 to $25 900. The mo-
ton carried.
Mr.. Critchlow's motion carried to re-
qulre bills for session printing to be
audited by the examiners
Speaker Denny then moved that the
appropriation for the university. be re-
duced from $4,000 to $4,000 Mr.. Nye
moved the previous question, and the
motion lost
Mr.. Denny followed up with a mo-
ton to strike out the item of IS. 900 for
repairs to the west building of the uni
Versity. Once more Mr.. Nye moved the
previous question, and the motion
failed.
Mr.. Stevens tried to get the item Of
$1,41O for maps and plats for the as
SCISSORS office of Weber county back
into the bill. He moved to in
sert, but met with a point of order
raised by Mr.. Critchlow, that the mo-
ton should be to reconsider. Mr. Stew
ems changed his motion, only to bump
up against another point of order Mr..
Critchlow inquired how he voted, the
reply disclosing that he had been on
the wrong side of the question. Mr..
Ferguson of Salt Lake made the mo-
ton for him, but it was promptly
voted down.
Under motion of Mr.. Critchlow i t
was decided to read the bill through
under agreement that an item once
passed could not be required to and
amended, except by consent of a two
thirds vote.
By consent Mr.. Vaughan had re-
inserted the item of 81, 200 for clerical
assistance for the secretary of state,
which had been stricken out.
Mr.. Gibbs moved to strike out the
item of $1,000 for extending and re-
pairing the shops at the Agricultural
college, stating as his reason that the
shops were too small only because stu
dents from Idaho who paid no tuition
were there in such large numbers.
Mr.. Nebeker of Salt Lake said the
appropriation was needed to repair
the buildings, which were being injured
by heavy machinery.
Mr.. Vaughan was much in hopes
the resolution would not carry, as the
money was badly needed.
Mr.. Andrus was in favor of striking
out He reiterated the sentiments of
Mr. Gibbs and said he understood fully
% per cent of the attendance at the
college was from Idaho and paid no
tuition. He was opposed to extending
the shops for the benefit of Idaho stu
dents The motion to strike out lost.
A communication from the board of
examiners allowed the claim of Emery
county for $156.13 and the item was
inserted in the bill.
CREDIT FOR WILLARD.
A joint resolution by Mr.. Ferguson
of Salt Lake was put through its
three readings and passed, directing
the state auditor to credit Willard
comfy for uncollectable taxes for 1898
