The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-03-19

The appropriation bill OF the ses
sion. Senate bill No. 202, yesterday
passed the lower house with about a
dozen amendments of varying import
ancc. Eighty thousand dollars was
added TO the educational appropria'
ton for the extension of the high
school system after number of
speeches were listened to as TO the
advisability of the step. A number OF
technical changes were added and
several minor amounts included for
various purposes.
Weber county. in common with Box
Elder, Cache. Utah, Davis and salt
Lake counties. lost her special and
extra appropriation through the de-
mands for an increase In the Davis
county amount by ]. T. Thornley,. AS
the best way out OF the dii1culty.
Hugh A. McMillin moved that all the
counties mentioned be cut out, and
this was accordingly done.
The liquor measure which passed
the house on Wednesday night was
again up before that body yesterday
on a technicality which threatened at
one time to result In rather compli-
Gated situation. The senate returned
the bill to the house on the ground
that 1t did not include the amend
ments In the precise form 1t should
have. AS the best way out OF the dill
flculty a new number was given the
bill and w. s. Hansen permitted the
use of his name as the father OF the
measure. The bill then became House
bill No. 240, and on motion the rec
ords were made to show the first. sec
oDd and third readings and the meas
ure was passed by practically the
same vote as before.
Immediately. however. more trouble
was precipitated by the inquiry OF
Theodore L. Holman as to what, In
the event OF this bill being no longer
a substitute, became OF the other four
bills which this bill was originally sup
posed to substitute, Speaker Robin
son was yisibly puzzled. and half a
dozen voices proffered advice rs wide
ly divergent as 1t was interesting.
Keep cool; don't get excited" said
the speaker. and then gave the opin-
ion that under the circumstances the
other four liquor bills were now back
on the calendar and ready to come
before the house for action. This.
with bill supposed to have been dead
and buried two weeks ago, created
rather a sensation. but the speaker
explained that 1t did not greatly mat
fer In any event as the measures could
be dlsposed of In few minutes at any
time.
Today there will be a determined
effort TO dispose of all business and
close up the session. Many OF the
members are getting visibly tired OF
the prolonged daily sessions, some
times three in day, and If there Is
will undoubtedly be done.
To establish work shops and an
industrial institute for the education
of the adult blind. the state senate
today unanimously approved an ap-
preparation of $4,000 The bill had
previously passed the house.
