The Ashton bill. made for the purpose
of creating d police and fire commission
in cities of 1000 inhabitants OF, more,
was returned TO the house from the sift-
ing committee yesterday. with a recon-
mendation that it be not passed.

The Marks senate bill covers practically
the same ground in the manner prescribed

A determined effort was made by Re
preventative McCracken to bring the

question drowned his arguments, and
the motion was lost. The sneasure v i'll

RIPPERISM IN UTAH

preme court of Michigan about five
minutes to declare the Detroit ripper
bills unconstitutional. This is cited
merely as an instance of how Tippers
and ripperism are regarded in other
states.
One of the leading lawyers of Utah,
I'm commenting on the Marks ripper
bill, said:
'sThe right of local self-government
lies at the basis of our political institu-
tons. The cities and towns are the
highest expression of local eif-govern-
ment. This measure strikes at the in
stitutional life Of tine people. If the
people Of q city are not capable of con-
trolling the police or fire departments,
they are not fit for any of the rights
given by a municipal form of govern
ment IF the governor can control the
police department, he can control the
streets and schools. 1t is manifest that
nicipal control by the people of their
domestic affairs. and is un-American
and dangerous I'm the extreme. If sus-
tanned. il is an invitation for scheming
politicians to despoil the people of their
liberties and to build up a corrupt po-
litical machine.
"Smoot and his machine are discred-
tied in this state. Power is slipping
from their grasp. They seek to regain
power by robbing the people of this
city of their political rights II they
can control the police department. they
can protect the buns and those With
whom they have combined. Their pur-
pose is to prostitute the city govern
ment to wicked and criminal ends. 1t Is
a desperate effort of as soulless and cor

MENTS KILL TWO BILLS.
ENACTING CLAUSES OUT

service commission bill, for which the Of
fetal organ Of the Republican party has
been cohtending since the commencement
of the session. The bill came up as a spe-
cial order yesterday morning on motion
OF Senator Badger. the author of the bill
After some little argument the senate
struck out the enacting clause on mOtlOn
Of Senator kUchler and killed the bill
In his argument for the passage OF the
bill Senator Badger appeared willing to
concede anything to the opposition pro-
Viding that the legislature would only do
something toward supervising public
service corporations He moved several
amendments, striking out all of the bill
save the appointment of the commission
Under the revised bill the commission
would be given power of inquiry into the
schedules OF public service corporations
and instructed to report to the next leg
islature. All of the regulation features
of the bill were by the author Of the bill
eliminated.
When Senator Badger was making an
amendment striking out a portion of the
hill Senator kUChler moved that the en-
actirg clause be included in the part to
be stricken out.
Senators Badger and Wilson protested
against this and urged that some legis-
lation Of this nature be passed. On a
vote the amendment of Senator Kuchler
prevailed and the bill was killed by strik-
ing out the enacting clause.
The vote on the amendment killing the
bill was:
Ayes-Brinkerhcff Bulen. Hulanski.
Horsley. Kuchler. Marks. Miller. Seeiy,

The public service bill has been before
the session a great deal OF the time dur
ing the present session of the legislature.
II was drawn by Senator Badger and
former Senators Lawrence and Love. and
met with the approval of the CONNER
cial Club Traffic bureau. 1t provided for
sweeping supervision over all railroads
and other public service corporations.
In the afternoon the Badger anti-pass
hill was taken up. Senator Kuchler
promptly moved that the enacting clause
he stricken out of this bill. ard it was
done despite the protests of Senator Badg
er by practically a unanimous vote.

CLAIMS OF CACHE VALLEY
FARMERS TO BE SETTLED

The committee headed by Representa-
tive Wootton of Utah county. which went
to the Cache valley Thursday, believed
that it has been able to bring about set
tlement OF the claims of the farmers north
of Logan against the state. These claims
arose out of the fact that from 1900 to
5000 acres north of Logan have been dam
aged by the overflow and seepage OF
water previously used on the farm at the
q agricultural college The nature OF the
soil is such as to cause what might be
called caving.
The claimants at first demanded $4,000,
but the committee succeeded in effecting
a settlement for $500. In addition to the
waving of existing claims in cOnSidera-
ton of this amount, the state is to have
easement for period of twenty years.

An Inquiry Into the Motive of Witness

The contest instituted by Emil Hauser against Supervisor Hoghe was heard in the land office yesterday afternoon. There is involved tract of 16e acres lying on the south side of the river, entered by Mir. Hoghe a couple of years ago. The whole mat ter hangs on question of residence, the contestant alleging that MT. Hoghe has hardly maintained a nominal resi- dence on the land. There was great variety of testimony on that point, majority of the witnesses contending that Mir. Hoghe had been an actual resident of the south side since he had entered the land.
 Others testified that his residence consisted of occasional visits to the property and that he had not been a bona fide resident. Among the Sit- nesses for the contestant was J. H. w.
