wilson said something. That caused
eeoator Badger TO remember that he
pad an item or two he would like 20
evrress. and in rapid fire order, Sena-

were drawn into the vortex Of debate.

senator Wilson moved that a special
committee be appointed to do the In

ber of "a committee already In exist
enco might be actuatcd by selfish mo-
tves. For instance" he said, III I
VAS on that committee and saw a
chance to move the farm into Wasatch
county 1 might try TO do So
John Y Smith then arose 90 remark
that he thought Wilson's statement OF
the possibility Of his working 60 get tho
farm into Wasatch county untitled him
for committee service. That brought
Wilson TO his feet on a question of per
sonaI privilege To deny the insinuation.
Hnlaniskd though, that the committee
ON public institutions would be the
moDer place 10 refer the matter. Bad
Ger thought the committee on agricul-
tura and irrigation would be more APP
pOprate. and this brought forth am
amendment 10 the Wilson motion, then

pertaining to the Agricultural college.
WE'RE NOT SATISFIED.
Badger and Wilson were not satisfied
with the explanation Of Kuchler and
persisted in supporting Wilson's origin

summarily from the committee already
having It under consideration was an
afront, slap In the fact, and bad
precedent. Badger arose TO disagree
with him, but on "a final vote which
