The University yesterday afternoon won
tbs first round in the consolidation fight.
the senate killing the two Bullen bills
providing for separate maintenance Of
The states two leading education insti-
tutiOns.
The enacting clause Of both measures
was stricken out, after considerable de-
bate. on motion of Senator Lawrence of
salt Lake. thus preventing the commit
ting OF the members on a roll call.
The real fight is due this afternoon.
when the Park consolidation bills and
the HollingsWorth resolution providing
for separate maintenance under a con-
solidation management viii be the spe-
cal order for 2;30 o'clock The killing
Of the Bullen bills is Of no particular
significance, in that they do not differ
much from similar bills passed at the last
session of the legislature. the ad valorem
tax scheme being the only new fea-
ture.
The friends Of the Agricultural college
never expected that these measures
would pass and are basing all their hopes
on securing enough votes to prevent the
adoption Of the measures proposing a
constitutional amendment As II will
take tw0-thirds Of the senate to pass
either the Park or Hollingsworth bills,
they have a decided advantage, only need
Ing seven votes TO defeat the consoHda-
ton.
Discussion Was Tame.
The debate on the Bullen bills yester-
Gay afternoon was tame and the large
number OF spectators who gathered to
SCI the fun went away disappointed. The
st1ggie was scheduled to begin in the
1ornng- but when the senate assembled
senator bulien asked leave TO have the
eonSderauon OF his bills postponed until
afternoon, and Senators Park and Hol-
MesN0rth withdrew their measures and
slosutqted new ones slightly different
nom the originals.
In the afternoon the first measure ia
sen sen up was senate bill No. "a. Senator
