The public will observe that the apportion.
ment IL very much smaller In some school
districts for the present year than for the
past. This Is due TO several causes, to wit:
Some School Districts overdrew their appor-
tionment for the previous year, and the over.
draft was deducted from the present appor-
tionmeui. In some districts fewer pupils
have been reported, the total number Of ohiI-
dren, however, has been Increased which de-
creased the per capita rate.
The main cause Of a decrease in fund Is the
fact that the appOrtionment for last year
Unrough an oversighD was more than The
funds actually on hand. Appointments are
based not on certainty, but necessarily on
an approximation. Respectfully,

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Brigham II. Roberts gave out the following
statement in relation TO his exclusion from
the house OF representatives
their representative by the substantial plural
ity OF 5,6G5 votes. An effort was made by
what believe to be an unconstitutional and
unprecedented process To exclude me from
the house of representatives. In behalf OF
myself and my constituents, comprising the
entire population of the State of Utah, / did
all l could TO maintain the position TO which
they had elected me, but the house OF repre-
sentatives, under the whip and spur OF popu-
lar sentiment, has decided to exclude me
from the house. l have contendsd for my
rights and the rights Of my constituents, SIM
gle handed and alone to the best OF my abil-
ity, but have been overwhelmed by force of
numbers.
"Notwthsta nding all that has been said,
the people OF Utah are not a lawless people.
Those OF them who have been involved in the
past in the plural marriage system, one
taught and sanctioned by the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints, are not wanton
vioators OF the laws, but finding themselves
in the position where the law commands to
do one thing and moral obligation, sacredly
entered into under the sanction OF the Nor
mon church, commands 10 do another, they
Sre placed in very trying situation, and

today passed the McChord Railroad Anti
EXtortion Bill by vote of 90 to AZ
The bill authorizes the State Railroad
Commission TO fix the maximum of
freight rates and punish for discrimina
ton and extortion From a party stand
point it's passage was the carrying out of
the principal panks in the platform on
which the late Democratic Governor Goe-
bel was nominated The Republicans in
a body opposed the bill, and up TO the
last il looked as if enough Democrats
would bolt the party lines to defeat the
bill, but on the final vote only two Rep
resentatives Klair and Armstrong voted
with the Republicans against it and
Henry and Orr, Democrats, did not vote.
That the bill will be approved by Demo
cratic Governor Beckham is conceded.
The Goebel assassin reward bill for
100000 was today approved formally by
Democratic Governor Beckham. The
commissioners appointed to expend the
fund, or such part as may be necessary
to apprehend or convict the assassin,

the fate of the McChord Bill, passed in
the House today, should decide whether

session.
