The committee on federal relations

DEBATE ON WHITNEY's BILL.
The Senate was principally engrossed
In Senator Whitney's bill, when 1t came
up for passage, The bill provides for
the paying by the State OF $4,000 in
premiums for the best text books on
botany, zoology and geology, with
special reference to Utah
The first dissenting voice was raised
by Senator Johnson who argued that
the State could not afford to pay the
premiums.
Senator Howell was also opposed TO
the bill, He argued that there was no
way OF forcing the books into general
use in the schools in Utah That a con.
vention would be held next year for the
purpose Of selecting text books. and
II is possible that the new books would
not be chosen.
Senator Barnes moved to amend the
bill reducing the premium TO $1,000 on
the text book on geology from $1,000.
Senator Smoot objected earnestly,
arguing that It would make the bill
farce He said that he was in favor Of
the bill. Senator Whitney also OPP
posed the amendment affirming that no
reputable author would go to the pains
Of preparing text book for any small
er amount than that provided In the
bill.
Senator Riesel moved an amendment
to strike out the enacting clause. which
brought Senator Allison to his feet.
He said that he would oppose any meas
ure locking to an appropriation that
was not absolutely necessary. But In
this instance he thought that 1t was
necessary. Utah, he said, occupies a
proud place in the educational world
and this help should be given the edu-
Gators OF the State.
The discussion was still under way
at late hour this afternoon.
