CONSOLIDATION is KILLED.


Senator Hollingsworth brought up on
the floor the University question again,
at IL o'clock, by submitting a senate
bill containing resolution favoring a
constitutional amendment, less radical
than the formerly defeated resolution.
Barber objected strongly 10 the intro
duction OF the bill, on the grounds that
II was the same as the one already
Killed. He read rule 45, upon reconsld-
eratlons. Upon being ruled to be wrong
by President Love he appealed from
the decision. A vote sustained the ruiz
ing almost unanimously.
Bennion moved that debate be limited
to 10 minutes on each side.
Senator Hollingsworth secured the
fioor, and explained the process Of ar
gument by which he became convinced
that consolidation was the only solu-
ton TO vexing problem.
Il am from Weber county" he ex-
planned and naturally tend to oppose
anything favorable to Salt Lake. But
on this matter am convinced that the
interests Of the state are vitality above
the interests of any county or section 4"
lie then went into the details of the
problem, declaring the principles at
present In force TO be fundamentally
wrong
Senator Hollingsworth was called on
time Just he was beginning TO quote
extracts of speeches from President
Kerr on consolidation when he thought
the consolidation could be consumatel
In Logan city.
For the Logan side OF the question
Barber opened, after motion to extend
HolllngsWorth's time had been lost on
the argument of Bennion that IL was
useless to argue farther as the mind OF
every senator had been fully made up.
Barber with deep feeling and In britt
liantly rounded speech placed the prob
lem for Logan as one Of deep concern.
He said Logan and Cache county felt
that their college was being devastated
for the glory OF salt Lake. that at
present they considered the matter an
act of aggression on the part OF the
capital city and one which they would
agree to with much better grace II it
came after commission had reported
the move to be necessary. and for the
public good independent Of the good OF
Salt Lake or Logan
Senator Love followed with a minute
speech at white heat.
Gentlemen" he said, "it Is a condl-
ton and not a theory that confronts
us. The committee has cut the Uni
versity appropriation TIL all Its build
ings are left out, and II has cut the
Agricultural college appropriation TO
only $l25,000. President Kerr told me
only q moment ago that II the college
got this small sum only II would ruin
that institution. There is only one So
luton that will solve the question and
that is consolidation"
Senator Mckay closed the debate
with speech, In which he declared the
Agricultural college to be ~ the
masses, and the university for the
classes. The aged Weber senator de-
pores the tendency OF this generation
to get away from looking to the soil for
wealth. and his attitude strongly tends
toward the Agricultural college. be-
cause II is the one place where the soil
and its possibilities are studied and ad-
vanced
When a ballot was taken the console
idation idea was finally disposed OF, be-
ing killed on vote OF 10 10 s. which
was not the necessary two-thirds.
The vote s@o1yed the Identical lineup
OF Thursday, when the first resolution
failed.
Senators Johnson, Calllster Loose,
Walton and several others were said TO

I'm the form II was then, and all the
work for reconsideration came as the
result of an attempt to win over these
senators. They found some new reason,
however why they could not vote for
each amendment.
