SUPREME COURT REVERSEs
TWO DISTRICT JUDGMENTS

An opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court Saturday afternoon reverses
tho Judgment OF the Second district court
In the case of the First National Bank
Of Ogden against Richard L. Taylor ct a..
guarantors OF r. J. Taylor, decedent, and
the case was renanded for a new trial.
Judgment was entered by the lower court

was brought to recover on promissory
notes held against r j. Taylor on which
guaranty contracts had been given by the
defendants after Taylor's death. The SUI
preme court reversed the action OF the

or court erred IN permitting testimony
to be taken on facts not raised In the
pleadings.
The Judgment Of the Seventh district
court in tho case OF the Hydraulic Ce-
ment Block company against W. E.

pany brought suit to recover on a team

Proposed Constitutional Amend
ment Will Help Wasatch and
Uintah Out of Dilemma.

Under suspension Of the rules. Satur-
day, the senate unanimously passed
Senator Wilson's joint resolution propos-
ing An amendment to the state constitu-
ton prescribing the procedure for the
formation OF new counties. II the reso-
luton passes the house by vote Of two
thirds of It's members. 1t will be voted
on at the next general election.
The resolution was drawn IN order to
give the people Of Wasatch and Uintah
counties tho opportunity TO create new
county from parts OF those two counties
At present a large part of the population
of Wasatch county is completely shut OIL
from the county seat at certain seasons
OF the year by the intervening mountain
range, They arc also far from the coun-
ty seat of Ulntah county.
Residents OF this territory propose the
formation OF a new county TO be known
as Duchcsne county. Under the present
laws the Legislature has no authority TO
create any new counties nor TO provide
a manner OF doing so except by consti-
tutional amendment. Under the proposed
amendment new counties may be ere
ated when the voters OF counties and
parts OF counties affected shall give their
approval.

MAINTENANCE BILL
AGAIN SUCCESSFUL
Senate Passes Measure After
Accepting Suggestions Rec
ommended by Governor.

After IT had encountered vigorous
opposition, the bill providing for a perma-
nent maintenance fund for the Univer-
slty OF Utah, the Utah Agricultural COL
lege and the Branch Normal again passed
the senate Saturday afternoon. The vote
ner and Senator Wilson spoke at length
In opposition to the measure.
The bill passed both houses more than
a week ago. AS originally drawn. It pro-
vided that the permanent fund for the
three institutions named should be 30
per cent Of the gross revenue OF the
state. exclusive Of that for school and
high school purposes. In this form II
went 70 the governor.
Governor Spry returned the bill with
several suggestions. He said that the
amount was too high and would seriously
handicap the other branches OF the state
government to remove so much OF the
revenue. He suggested other changes In
the bill.
The senate committee on education
made the changes recommended by the
governor. changing the rate from 80 TO
2S per cent OF the revenue OF the state
against the bill on the floor OF the sen
ate President Gardner left the chair To
take stand In opposition to the meas
ure. Both he and Wilson objected TO the
bill from the standpoint OF economy
They said that there was every indica-
ton that the estimated expenditures
would exceed the revenue Of the state by
large sum and that the amount to be
appropriated to these institutions should
not be placed beyond the power Of the
trimming The vote on the bill was:

ton of whether we want absolute pro
hibition or strict regulation.
Smith declared that the question upon
which the senate was about TO vote
was whether the members wished to
permit the councils and other licensing
boards to use discretion or no discrc.
ton Funk and Badger spoke again
against the amendment and Wilson in
favor of it. Senator Wilson asked
for roll coll on his motion to strike
out tho appeal sections, The vote was;

In the next section discussed, relat-
ing TO suits brought for damages

ator Kelly secured an amendment pro

was that the person committing the

had been a peace officer himself, he
added, and had stopped gambling un.
der the existing laws.
Mr.. Morris took the ground that
nothing could be gained by making
gambling a felony. Two years ago. he
said, he had hecn told that if the legis.
lature would make the punishment suf
tlcient in cases of corporations aiding
the redlight district on the west side
ont. The legislature had done so, but
the place still was running. He also
SAID that similar conditions prevailed
III Ogden and that he understood that
hush money to the amount Of $500 to
$1,000 a month was being paid in the
Junction CITY AS to Nevada, he said
he was in Phoebe when a man was
served fer brsnkfast every morning
but there had never been a legal exc
cution there.
Sense and Nonsense.
Mr.. yelling classed much of the talk
nonsense and was for making gambling
felony and protecting the young
mcn. He wanted to see Utah made a
more desirable ciace in which to live
and he believed the gambling bill was
a step in the right direction
Mr.. Dahlquist said that he was
neither blessed nor cursed with the
power of oratory. but he was against
measure that would prevent cards
from being PLAYED at social affairs, OF
college students who might come here
from adjoining states betting on a
game.
The motion TO strike out felony and
insert misdemeanor carried by n stand
ing vote of G6 TO lG, and Mr., Pop,
moved TO strike out the search and seiz
ure clause.
While this motion was being dis
cuSsed Mr.. Spencer moved TO strike
out the enacting clause of the bill anG
the motion prevailed, thus disposing OF

NOT TO Be CHANGED
To Remain at Old Figure, as the
State Needs the
Revenue.

Mr.. Thornley's inheritance tax meas
ure. house bill No. 200. was killed in the
house Friday afternoon. The bill in
creased the exemption from 10000 to
$4,000 and reduced the percentage Of the
tax from 3 per cent 10 per cent,
Mr.. Thornley, and Mr.. Woolley spoke
for the bill. taking the ground that the

Instances on widows and orphans.
To combat this. Mr.. Morris and others
showed that the state was now getting
approximately $4,000 every two years
from this tax and that the state needed
the money. 1t also was pointed out that
II the bill was passed the state would
not get the appropriations asked at the

COAL RATE BILL
DISCUSSION ON
Public Utilities Committee
Takes Up the Traffic Club
Measure.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION
FAVORED BY s. H. LOVE
Opponents Are to Be Given an
Inning Next Monday
Morning.

The public utilities committee Of the
lower house of the legislature met at
10 O'Clock Saturday morning to begin
by Mr.. Eardley Of Salt Lake, fixing the
maximum rates that may be charged
by railroads for the transportation of
coal.
There was a distinguished array of
proponents and opponents of the meas
nre at the meeting, which was held In
Mayor BTansford IS office. In addition
to Mr.. Eardley, the introducer Of the
measure. Stephen n. Love and S. H.
Babcock of the Commercial club traffic
bureau were present as supporters OF
the measure, while Farley l.. Williams
and j. A Reeves of the Oregon Short
Line, :. " Berrah and E. NJ. Allison
Manderfield and Pennel Cherrington Of
the Salt Lake Route appeared for the
opposition.
Eardley Opens Ball.
The discussion of the measure was
opened by Mr.. Eardley, who said that
the bill had been drawn from the North
Dakota act, which, however, fixed the
rates 80 per cent lower than did the
Utah ball. Mr.. Eardley added that the
North Dakota law had been declared
constitutional by the supreme court of
tho United States and he saw no rca-
son why Utah should not profit by such
an act.
Stephen H. Love then took the floor
and occupied 1T practically through the
remainder of the session. He said the
bill had been drawn by the Commercial
club traffic bureau and was considered
fair to the railroads. Mr.. Love added
that no state in the Union had more
power given TO il by its constitution in
the matter of authority to adjust rail-
road rates than Utah, and he thought
the people should take advantage of
that fact. Reference also was made
to the fact that the legislature has
abundant authority to fix the maximum
rates which railroad may charge.
Wants Rates Lowered.
After referring to the fact that Utah
had been especially good to the rail
roads, Mr. Love declared that the Union
Pacific and Denver G. Rio Grande net
earnings were very large in Utah. as
compared with the net earnings in other
states As to the Denver & Rio Grandc,
he said that the net earnings had in
creased from S2,000,000 in 1901, to
$9,000,000 in 1910, without any extra
mileage having been built
Mr.. Love then went into the coal
rate question, comparing the 65.cent
rate in North Dakota with the S1.65
rate in Utah, also referring to other
states III which freight rates for coal
