LIVELY HOUSE SCENE.
Jcnsen's Bill Against Corporations
Goes Down Amid Tumult

When H. b. 81 came up for con-
sideration yesterday. it had the recon-
mendation from the committee on pri-
vate corporations for passage.
The father of the measure was Jen-
sen. of Salt Lake, and its object was
to impose certain penalties upon for
eign corporations attempting to trans
act business without being organized
under the laws of this state
Mr.. Jensen took the floor to explain
the provisions of the bill, and was at
once bombarded with questions from
all sides of the house. Mr.. Tolton
raised the objection to the bill that
Wholesale mercantile houses at pres
ent doing business through the job
bling houses would be put out OF bust
ness. This view was sustained by
Critchlow. Robinson of Bingham said
the bill was unconstitutional.
ClegS said the provisions of the bill
We're too sweeping, and he would not
care to enact such sweeping iegisla-
ton without due consideration.
Westphal moved TO strike out the
enacting clause, which received two
or three seconds. This aroused Mr.
Jensen and he took the floor and ask
ed that his bill be dispassionately con-
sidered, and then accepted or rejected
on Its merits. He claimed ii was
wrong to throttle at its inception a
measure considered necessary by the
supreme court OF the state in order to
reach outside corporations doing bust
ness in this state without complying
with It's laws, Jensen paid his COM
pliments to Robinson during the dis
cussion, saying he was surprised that
person claiming TO be an attorney
should question the constitutionality
of measure thought necessary by
the supreme court Jensen said he
thought so important bill should
he worthy of a few moments con-
sideration at the hands of the legis-
lators. and asked that the element
of haste be eliminated from its con-
sideration.
There followed Mr.. Jensen's talk
tar dozen members who wanted the
floor at the same time. Points OF or
der, Questions of personal privilege
were urged, and somebody evon nov
cd to adjourn. Speaker Joseph made
some rapid fire rulings during this
gatling process but he successfully
restored order out of chaos, and when
