The eternal question Of why is an

any old egg is good enough for the Utah
consumer
Senate bill No. 1876, during its brief life
time created a tremendous amount of
discussion. This bill provided that poul-
try, fish and eggs kept in cold storage
for more than three months must be ia
beled as cold storage products. If Of

and. strange TO say. it was the only bill
that has yet received a tie vote on roll
call. The vote stood IS to IS. five with

During the discussion the egg feature
of the bill was the one most prominently
commanding attention.
Mr.. Morris wanted to know if any one

age egg from "hen-laid egg. He said
that down in his country the longer they
kept eggs the better they became
Nobody, save Mr. White. volunteered a
solution of the method Of determining a
cold storage egg from a ranch egg.
He said that the test was one involving
weight by the avordupCis standard.
This bill. admittedly a good one. failed
because there was no one present, either
on the floor of the house or In the lobby

SEATTLE FAIR BILL
GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE

Speaker Robinson saved the day for the
Alaska Y ukon-Pacific exposition bill once
yesterday, and Mr.. Funk came to its res
cue again.
This bin. No. IS from the senate. car
ried an appropriation of $4,000. q 3unon' :
motion to cut the appropriation to SIS. eU0.
as compromise, was lost. McCrack~n's
amendment TO strike out the appropTi-
alton clause altogether was decided n IA
Vor OF a life for the measure by the
speaker, who cast his decision for its ex-
istence on q rising vote of u to L.
The final vote on the bill was p to
l.. lacking two of a constitutional ma
joTty, and consequently bringing defeat.
Mr. Funk, one of those who voted with
the minority, gave notice of reeonsidera
ton. and the bill may have another show
today.
There is a feeling among the members
that Utah ought to be represented at
the Seattle fair. but that the state can
III afford TO spare the $4,000 carried by
the bill. Mr.. Cannon believed that the
erection of a building would be a waste
of money and thought a creditable dis
play could be made for the $1,000 he
had in mind s., eco of which has already
been spent.

INSURANCE BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Measure Providing for Creation
of Department Meets With
Little Objection.

The bill for an act providing for the
creation Of an insurance department
passed the house yesterday. The meas
ure as it passed the house has eliinina ted
from it all mention of a deputy commits
sioner- Inasmuch as the reference to the
deputy occurred in numerous instances. IL
was necessary to make numerous amend
ments. When the bill went back to the
senate that body coneurred in the alter
atoms.
Senator Burton was given the privilege
of the floor to explain the bill, which is
seventy printed pages long. Colonel
George 3. Squires. who, it is currently re-
ported, is slated for the-job of commits
sioner. was also given a chance to say a
few words.
The bill takes effect upon approval.
This being SO, the department of insur-
ance ought to find a birth in Utah within
a week or ten DAYS

The final passage Of the Marks ripper
BILL the object of which is to take from
Salt Lake City its fire and police depart
ments and to make them part of the state
political machine. was effected yesterday
by the concurrence by the senate in the
house amendments to the bill. These
amendments were only slight but they
gave three senators the opportunity to
register their protest against the vicious
measure
on the vote on the final passage of the
bill by the senate after the amendments
mad been cOncurred in there were two
changes from tie original vote on the
measure. Senator Burton retreated from
his position in opposition to the measure
and voted for il, while Senator Kuchler
who voted for the bill last week voted
against il yesterday
There was no argument at all on the
measure in the senate. and il came up
merely as a matter OF routine business.
mere was some suggestion that a serious
attempt would be made to defeat the bill.
cut nothing was done on the floor of the
senate to block its final passage The
bill passed with twelve votes for it ami
three against, with three senator's all of
whom are opposed to the bill, absent.
Speaking of his attitude in opposition
to the measure, Senator Kuchler said that
when the bill first came up for final pas
sage he was inclined to believe that the
fact that four out of five of the Salt
that the people of Salt Lake City wanted
such a measure passed. Inasmuch as it
effected no other part Of the state. he
felt that Salt Lake should get what it
wanted. Since that time. he said. he has
learned that the people Of Salt Lake City
are by no means in sympathy with such
a move; that, on the contrary. he be
lieVed large majority of the people were
absolutely opposed to II. In addition to
this consideration. his own convictiOrs are
strongly opposed to any Arrangement Of
local self-goveTnnent He said that the
measure to him appeared to be unconsti-
tutiOnal and he hoped that the state su-
preme court would SO decide.
Senator Burton vouchsafed no eXplaua-
tiOn of his retreat from his position as one
of the defenders Of the rights of the peo-
pie of Salt Lake City. Senator Hulaniski
and President Gardner voted against the
measure as they did last week
Ii is understood that as a result of the
wave of indignation that is sweeping over
the city. Senator Bulen had practically
decided to vote against the bill yesterday, !
but that after a conference with Governor
Spry he changed his mind.
