THIRTI-THREE BILLS
AND NONE PRINTED

There we're all sorts OF talk about what
was going to be done to the printing COM
mittee, TO the printers and to the ser
geant-at-aTms if the bills which have been
introduced in the house did not appear in
the file covers by this morning. Dire ca
lamity threatens each and all of these.
There are now thirty-three bills. three

BILL AIMED At
SALARY LOANS
Provides That Assignments of
Future Wages Shall Be Mat
ter of Public Record.

A bill directed against the operations
of the salary loan agents was intro
duced in the senate yesterday as SEN
ate bill No. 10. by Senator Benner Y
Smith. The bill provides that an as
signment of an order for wages, pay,
salary or compensation TO be earned in
the future must be fled with the coun-
ty recorder, that the employer must
make personal acknowledgment Of such
an assignmtnt before the county record
er. and that if the empioye be a mar
ried man such an assignment cannot be
made without the consent of his wife.
There are at present eleven salary
loan firms in Salt Lake, and others in
Ogden. These firms. in consideration
Of the assignment of future wages TO
be earned viii advance at a high rate
of interest a comparatively small loan.
The assignment of the wages earned
shuts out other creditors from garnish-
ment proceedings, and also ties up a
mans salary In a way that often causes
great hardship to the family of the
debtor
This bill. If passed. will practically
put the salary loan agents out of BUSH
ness The fact that it is necessary to
secure public acknowledgment Of the
employer, the consent of the wife of the
debtor, as well as to make such loans
and assignments a part of the public
records, il is believed. will so cripple
the business OF the loan Offices that it
VIII be impossible for them to continue
to operate in the state.
The bill was referred to the judiciary
committee.

New Building at the Branch Normal
Is Model Struc-
fure

Cedar City, Jan. 21--The last legislature
made al appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection OF new shop and gymnasium
building at the Branch Normal. That
building IS now completed, and the shop
and gymnasium material installed in its
new home Ii IS a model structure of its
kind, and will be OF great value IN the
shop and physical culture courses given
at the school.
There was considerable excitement in
Cedar on the return OF the students from
the holiday festivities owing to the fact
that some had been exposed to smallpox.
One case broke out among the PanzuitCh
students. but as soon as Il was known
Principal Decker and the local health
board adopted stringent measures. NAM
students were vaccinated. all were disin-
fected, and the Panzuitch students were
quarsntined for several days. No new
cases have broken out, so It is Thought
the situation iE well under control The
schools have continued to run.
Prohibition seems to be the slogan here.
Yesterday in the chapel exercises at the
Normal. Instructor Hanson made strong
plea for temperance. He urged the neces-
sity of total abstinence on the part Of the
young men, but maintained that to be sue
cessful the prohibition movement must
educate the young people to see the neces-
sity of letting intOxiCants absolutely alone
The local electric power plant has now
been put into shape again. and everything
will run as smoothly as ever The lights
will be on until Il O'Clock and again at

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
MUST DISSEcT ITSELF

Baker of Tooele. in the house, yester-
day suggested that it had been the Gus
tom of previous sessions for the speaker
10 segregate the governors messag
and to refer to the various committees
the recommendations that would be ap-
propriate for them to handle.
The speaker said that it was not his
understanding that anything of the sort
had been the rule. and that he did not
see why the chair should tell any mem
Der what particular subject OF proposed
legislation he should handle Mr.. Rob-
inson Furthermore suggested that it
would be well for the various commit
tee chairmen, as well as the mem bers
generally, TO read the governors mes
sage for themselves, and If there were
in it anything they thought ought to be
framed as a law to treat it in that way.
The senate committee on state affairs

COMMITTEE TO VISIT
CEDAR CITY NORMAL

A committee of five house and five
senate members is TO make a trip to
Cedar City, in Iron county, to inspect the
state normal branch al Cedar City In
the house there was plenty of sidestepping
when the invitation Of President Kings
bury Of the State university was read,
for the prospect Of trip to Cedar City
Is evidently one not aliuring to the ma
iority of the meHbers. Everyone seemed
willing that everyone else should go. but
did not relish the journey himself. Cedar
City IS thirty miles from railroad sta
ton and IS reached by a tortuous road.
Mr. England of Weber, who does not say
very much. but who. when he does say
something, says something. good. moved
that the entire membership make the trip.
After q good deal Of talk IL was de-
eided that the speaker name a committee
OF five to make the trip. The speaker
asked that those who desired to go on
the junket signify their wish to him He
will probably name the committee TODAY.
It is likely that at least one member
of the committee on education and one
member Of the committee on public build
ings and grounds viii be among the num-
Der selected
This house committee will foin a like
committee from the senate, TO be named
by President Gardner. 1t is the expec-
tation that the joint committee will leave
Salt Lake Tuesday or Wednesday and
remain in Cedar City over Sunday. 1t
was at first suggested that the commit
tee leave on Monday. but If was recalled
that Monday is the day of the governor
inaugural ball
In connection with this jaunt TO Cedar
City, an amusing story IS told of sim
liar trip made BY q legislative committee
some years ago. A house member told il
something after this fashion:
"A good many years ago I was one of
those named on the committee 10 visit
the branch normal at Cedar. When we
left the railroad IL was 10 below, and it
kept getting colder all the while When
we got to our destination we were so
nearly frozen stiff that we had to be
helped out Of the wagon.
I'VE were met by one of the good peo-
pie down there who greeted us heart
ily."
i knew he said. that you would be
pretty cold after your long ride, and /
came prepared with something to cheer
you up
'rWhereupon he held up his two hands.
and in one of them was an orange and in
the other a bottle Of soda pop
