GOVERNORS MESSAGE
 TO THE LEGISLATURE
Few Good Suggestions and Much Hot Air Contained in Governors
 Inaugural Address.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE @

OatlOnS In elect amount to the suggestion that the wine growers be given a more liberal law than Is now on the statutes.
 It Is argued that the state uni versity receive the attention of the legislature. The boys dormitory should be provided with new fur niture. It is recommended that dormitory for young ladies be erected in the city of Fayetteville, away from the campus.
 Segregation of the school tax for white and colored children is urged in very forcible terms. The governor even excels Vardaman in his estimate of some of the characteristics of the negro.
 The governor attacked the man. agement of the penitentiary in a general way, but furnished no specifications except to assert that the convicts were whipped with a strap which he exhibited. He neglected to say that this punish ment is regulated by the peniten- tiary board, of which he is a mem Der.
 He recommends that a law be passed permitting the governor to appoint penitentiary commission, one from each congressional dis trict, which commission shall have control of that institution and in- cidentally award all the places that come under it's arrangements.
 The governor complimented the World s Fair board and incident ally threw a bouquet at himself for the exhibit made at St. Louis, and for the S15, 1000 covered back into the treasury.
 1t was asserted that the public se6oohsystem that is in operation in this state is the best that exists anywhere in the country, which all educators in the state know to be a mistake, and in discussing educational matters the governor took occasion to disparage some of the suggestions made by Super intendent Hinemon in his biennial report. In this he showed bad Judgment. Hinemon' recommen- dations on educational matters will stand par excellence with those of any educator in the south.
 Ills excellency recommends that the state purchase and furnish free school books for the public schools. It would require an immediate ex- penditure of more than half a mil lion dollars to buy all the school books the state would need for such a venture, and that amount would go immediately to enrich the book trust. The governors recommendations in this regard appear to be inconsistent with his suggestion that the rate of taxa tion should be reduced one-half.
 The governor asserted that in his opinion the new state house would cost the state about five million dollars if completed ac- cording to the present plans. He criticised Architect Mann severely and insinuated that his only pur- pose was to get all he could out of the job.
 He suggested that the old state house be preserved, that the east wing be converted into public library and the west wing into a governors mansion.
 The message was peculiarly characteristic of the governor. In dealing with the affairs of the pen itentiary, department of public in- struction and the new state house,

NO IMMEDIATE END OF SPRlNG-LIKE
WEATHER, SAYS FORECASTER R. j. HYATT

The high area" CONTINUES to hover
around Salt Lake, and the indications
last night were that fair weather
would continue for several days
Weather Forecaster r. j. Hyatt has
made careful. almost microscopic ex-
animation of all his charts and in
struments. not that he wants to pre-
diet stormy season, but because the
present weather is almost unprece-
dented, and because he has had
lurking suspicion that a low area"
might try to butt" la from some
quarter at an unexpected moment
Thus far he has found nothing to war
rant any such suspicion, and he is con-
hdent that the spring-like weather will
remain for some days.
Dr. Hyatt has c-mpIeted his chart
Tor the month of February and the
statistics presented are interesting
During the month there were nine alb
solutely clear days; nine partly cloudy
days; ten cloudy days, and ten on
which OF inch, or more, of precipita-
ton occurred.

COMMITTEE FINDS DIVISION OVER UNITING
UNIVERSITY AND AGRiCULT URAL COLLEGE

The special legislative committee ap-
pointed to Investigate the subject of du-
phcation of courses at the Agricultural
college and the University of Utah met
in executive session last night in the SEN
ate chambers to consider the views of
President J. 7. kingsbury of the uni
Versity and President W. j. Kerr of the
Agricultural college. as expressed in let
tiers submitted at the request of the com
mittee.
The views, il appears, taken by the
pedagOgues are widely at variance. Pres
ldent Kingsbury. in a report considered
last night, places the loss 10 the state
annually through duplication Of courses
at 100000; or, rather, he places the
amount which could be saved through
consolidation at that sum. On the other
hand. President Kerr believes that about
one-tenth of this estimate would be more
nearly correct.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-03-04

No definite conclusion was reached by
the committee, but between now and
Monday its findings Will be set forth In
Joint report to each branch of the leg
islature. In the committee there is by
no means unanimity. Some of the mem
bers believe that the report should con-
tain q recommendation substantially as
follows:
THAT the preparatory course of train
ing ut the university be abolished and
be transferred to the institute at Logan;
that the Agricultural college and the Uni
versity of Utah be consolidated at Salt
Lake"
Others OF the committee members will
make a decided stand against taking the
Agricultural college from Logan, arguing
that even if the saving would aggregate
as high as $4,000 per annum through con-
solidatiOn IL is for the best interests of
the state that the institutions be kept
distinct and apart.
